Washington Post App Comments & Reviews
Washington Post Positive Reviews
The Big PictureMy husband and I live in Nebraska. We actually have two homes, a shouse in northeast Nebraska and a home in Lincoln. It has given us both great anxiety in recent years to see what has happened to our democracy. My grandfather immigrated from Sweden. He deeply treasured the opportunities that were afforded to him and other family members when they came to the United States. He prided himself on being politically astute. That desire to know what is happening in our beloved country and to participate in the political process was passed on to his family. My husband and I were Peace Corps volunteers in the 60’s and we lived and worked in 6 other countries. We have been proud to be citizens of the United States. We have great difficulty understanding the behavior of a significant number of our present day politicians. In spite of all this, we strive to stay informed about our country now and about what may happen in the not so distant future. We greatly appreciate the work of the Washington Post to keep us informed about the State of our Nation! Thank you!.Version: 6.56.0
More Left Leaning than Centrist. Disappointing.The other day I noticed on a couple media bias graphs that the WP was dead center with the highest amount of original content. As someone who doesn’t fit in either political party I have been longing for a news source that works hard to see both sides, like I do. So, when I saw the graphs I decided to order a subscription at a promo price that seemed generous. The first two days I read as much as I could and seemed to be getting what I had hoped for. Then yesterday I opened the app and was dismayed at what I saw yesterday. Four out of the six featured pieces were obviously left leaning on the issues of state rights, abortion, and the use of presidential power (9/5/21). Were the other two right leaning to at least attempt to give a little balance? No, they were not. They were about items that didn’t have a political impact. I’m going to give the Post a couple more weeks to try to prove me wrong on this, but I’m not all that hopeful. Has the news media swung so far left in general that the Post just looks centrist by comparison? I love the way the app is arranged. But I do have a complaint about the search feature. I searched for articles on Indonesia and got several hits from a couple of weeks ago. When I attempted to click on the links the only place they sent me was back to the front page of the current day..Version: 5.24.0
Overall good, but...I’ve been using this app on both iPhone and iPad and it continues too a good way too navigate and read the paper on these devices. One thing has changed with the latest update. Previously, when opening articles from the WaPo email news digest I receive several times a day, it would open them in the browser and not the app, which was fine. The browser would have the little arrow in the upper left corner to get back to the email app to continue going through the list of articles. Now when clicking on a link in the email WaPo digest, it opens the browser and from the browser offers to view the article in the app. After clicking to open the app, the return arrow lead back to the browser, not the email app. There is an unneeded clunky browser step in the middle. A fix to the app to allow moving back and forth between the email digest and the app would be a great feature in an upcoming release (which would make it operate as seamlessly as The NY Times app). Also when clicking on a link in the email digest when there are no open windows already open, it often jumps to the browser but then nothing happens. Also, oddly, from scrolling through the reviews, I appears the vast majority are about the WaPo itself and have nothing to do with the actual WaPo app..Version: 5.5.0
My search for truthI don’t walk around in the daylight with a lit lamp but like Diogenes I always seem to be searching for an honest man in my everyday life and in the media. I subscribe to WAPO because it more often than not holds a reasonable attitude and attempts to maintain a democratic humanistic position when reporting on world events. Unfortunately, like all the media of today it struggles to pry attention away from the melee of social media and in doing so falls prey to the hunger for attention it like others in major media considers it needs and in so doing will attempt to use sensationalism. One clear criticism I hold is the unbalanced treatment given to the Hamas terrorists who knowingly use its citizens as political hostages, pawns, and martyrs in order to garner world wide sympathy in their over reaching propaganda war. Not clearly exposing Hamas’ admitted tactics in a very clear way with the appropriate horror and sustain in order to pander to uneducated and I’ll informed students is unwelcome and unworthy. I strongly urge you to not only step away from sensationalism but to make ridicule of it and actively wage war against it. Make that your platform with all the righteous passionate driven purpose you can. Your strength can be in is in the truth the WAPO lantern can provide. Shine brightly..Version: 6.61.0
Best of the three Post appsThis is the best of the three apps that the Washington Post has out there. The print version is exactly what it sounds like; nothing wrong with it, but I get tired of zooming in and having to find the continuation of the article. The newest app has a slick design, so it looks very current, but it is terrible to use. This app is the ‘middle’ one; it is a continuation of the first digital-native app they came up with, and although it isn’t super pretty, it has a nice display of multiple articles, so you can decide what you want to read rather than having one particular article pushed on you. The articles read cleanly, and the graphics are well incorporated. Major problems with it include the fact that even for subscribers some of the advertising — especially in videos — is intrusive, links sometimes connect to paywalled content, and, most importantly, if you are mid-article and leave the app, when you restart it, it resets to the front page. Sometimes it can be quite difficult to relocate the article that you were reading previously. Better reading apps (Kindle, Apple Books, etc.) reopen to what you were previously reading and give you the choice when you want to return to the top-level directory..Version: 5.8.0
A Forgetful AppI subscribe to both The NY Times and the Washington Post. It’s interesting to compare how the two papers use mobile apps to present their content. Each has its advantages, but I find that the Washington Post Classic app has a couple of significant deficiencies. On the plus side, the Washington Post is a more visually appealing and less cluttered presentation compared to the NY Times. But there are two behaviors that I find limit the usefulness of the Washington Post Classic app. First is the fact that it does not give any indication of stories that have already been read. The NY Times app, for example, dims to a fainter gray the headline text of stories that have been opened. Second, and most infuriating, is that the Washington Post Classic app seems incapable of remembering the reader’s position within the app. Leave the app to read a text message? When you return to the Washington Post app you’ll be returned to the story you were reading, but once leaving that you’re back at the top of the story list and forced to scroll and scroll to re-find where you were. This often happens even when you haven’t left the app at all and simply close a story. (Note that I’m using a current generation iPad Pro.).Version: 3.15.1
Keep Up The Good Work‼️Democracy dies in darkness is a phrase all your readers count on the Washington Post upholding. So far, so good! Please don't let up. There is still more investigative reporting that needs to be done because, unfortunately, there aren't enough newspapers to assist the Post & the NY Times. Please continue to keep the high journalist standards without being “handwring liberals” in continuing to cover Trump. Between the election & the court cases, I think the Post does a good job in the Trump coverage and summary of the status of the cases but you still need to call a spade a spade i.e. When Trump says “off-colored” &/or “total incoherent statements” they need to be given proper in-depth coverage. The New York times does a better job of that type of reporting, I think. Politics & the Federal Government by the Post is the best in the country by far. While the Washington Post is not perfect, given the human condition, the Washington Post is still my favorite newspaper & has been for the last 50 years. Thank you for your service, one & all..Version: 6.57.0
Always Top NotchI grew up in DC in the 60s and the Post was always on our family’s stoop despite little money to spare. My mother said it was important to be aware of the world around us and since there were six of us, it was a bargain. Like most of us, the Post has had its up and downs, but it always strives for excellence. Journalism is a tough business, especially with the multitude of social media options. Along with the NYT and the Boston Globe, it is my go to for honest reporting—-they endeavor to separate fact from fiction. One thing—-I am really torn by the Post’s scoop on Jack Teixerira’s horrendous distribution of top secret documents. On the one hand, I am fairly certain the Post helped pave the way to JT’s arrest, but I struggle with whether or not they had to reveal all the documents that had to do with national security. I know, I know, citizens need to know what our government is up to. But…Loose lips sink ships? For me the bigger story is how in the world did a slimy punk get his hands on this info and what are we going to do about it?.Version: 6.32.0
Always very informing and well researched articlesWa Post does a very professional job of researching their articles. I appreciate the level of professionalism in journalism. It would be interesting to me to read more articles in regards to political issues of why the differences in political views. What are the reasons why some people want to believe in conspiracy theories. Why some highly educated people either buy into them, or just use them for their own aims. Also it would be interesting to see articles that explain the basic core beliefs of republicans vs Democrats, and how those beliefs are taken to extremes. We are in a time where we don’t want to ask our families or neighbors about their beliefs because they are just that, their beliefs and it does not provide any goodwill to question another’s beliefs, so if we can read about a reporters conversation with different views and maybe question their thoughts that may not make sense to some, that could be helpful. Thanks for great journalism!.Version: 5.11.0
Video adsFor the last week, I have been plagued with a video ad for a personnel service that begins talking shortly after I start reading an article. I can't find any way to turn it off and it is irritating and intrusive. Am getting to the point of cancelling my subscription if it doesn't stop. Update, it is now broadcasting this same talking ad every single time I try to read an article. I am regretfully canceling my subscription. I will check back in a couple months to see if this has been fixed, but for now, can't stand it. Another update. I did cancel, but like the post so much, I regretted it and renewed the next day. Now I am canceling again. Every single time I tap on an article to read it, a voice blares, “For the past 25 years, PNP personnel services...” I did write to the help desk, and got back an email that did not resolve the problem. Nobody else has complained about this, which leaves me wondering why I have been so blessed with the attentions of PNP personnel services. I’ve tried easy solutions, but no setting addresses it. If anybody has any ideas, I’d be happy to try them. I love the Post, but have come to hate PNP personnel services more..Version: 3.11.1
Exclusive new tools to keep up with the news?Since the update today the app does not open/simply crashes every time I attempt to open it. Is that one of the exclusive new tools? Just wondering.... When I attempted to open the updated app, the app would show the opening screen (grey page with “Washington Post” in the center of the screen). This remained for roughly thirty seconds after which the app would suddenly close. When double-clicking on the iPhone home button following the crash, a “ghost image” of a page from a Washington Post article that I last read before the update would show as one of the open apps. I assume—but cannot say with certainty—that this article was open when the app updated. In order to resolve the situation, I deleted and then re-downloaded the update app. After signing into my Washington Post account via the reinstalled app, I successfully regained access to the app/Washington Post content. I’ve not encountered further issues with the updated app since that time..Version: 3.26.1
OkayI’m just a WaPo digital basic lady, so maybe I don’t have all the options that I’ll now complain about. I am a full access New York Times subscriber, so I’ll make a bit of a comparison. I like NYT so much better because it is less jumbled up and the articles refresh at least daily (with breaking news at the top) so I don’t have to sort through all those articles I already read. On WaPo, the same articles are featured for a week at a time. On NYT, I choose my own view of favorite sections and I get the crossword, so there’s value in a full subscription. I check the news like 10 times every day; I don’t want to see the old articles forever. It’s cool to have the WaPo print edition, but navigating it on a 5” screen isn’t easy. The writing is strong, and the WaPo is more gossipy on politics than the NYT (which I consider a good thing;). Plus I live in VA and it’s good to get that local flair. Still, I’m not looking at WaPo as much as I thought I would because of the article refresh problem, and because I can’t curate my view for my favorite sections. Last thing, I do hesitate on the WaPo because Jeff Besos owns it. One guy shouldn’t own the world and its news..Version: 5.4.0
The seven morning news summaryI generally like The 7 on The Washington Post it has some items usually there that are unexpected and not in the usual news cycle items. I like the commentators generally. However some aesthetic issues bother me a little bit. The music in between the articles is now become quite old and boring. They need to change that up. And sometimes the music doesn't go with what the last item was because the item may have said somebody died or something for example and the music comes on which is bright and doesn't fit with what the persons just said in the article. maybe no music would be appropriate at that time. The background art is a little dubious as well. They might consider artificial intelligence of drawing that's neutral that won't take away from the articles. I think one of the pictures shows an eye looking at you which is kind of weird. Primates do not like to look at another primates eye in general..Version: 6.39.0
Too Few Quality News Sources Remain NowadaysI grew up at a time when mid sized cities had quality local papers and televised news. Nationally there were three major networks that provided political balance and maintained actual journalists to report and anchor. Another commonality, what these sources provided was information edited with integrity and published with an attempt to provide factual reports. Today, CNN does retain some of that character and the actual news segments of NBC, ABC, CBS, and MSNBC appear to do the same. I gather that lately even Fox does that .occasionally . However, financial stresses and the internet with its information flow has led to a lot of shrinkage - and the reduction of reliable sources of valid, factual news. The Washington Post is one of the few to come close to maintaining journalistic standards in reporting and editing. I appreciate this paper and the other media sources and employees who try to keep a decent news flow in our Country..Version: 3.34.0
I love the PostMy reading of the Post goes back to Watergate when it was all alone in reporting on the scandal against fierce opposition from the government lead by Nixon. So I trust the Post’s reporting. Another reason I like reading the Post is the great literary style of it’s writing. Sometimes I reread a sentence because it is so well written. Even straight news reporting often has interesting phrases. I really enjoy Martin Weil’s weather writing. Sometimes it’s almost poetic. And I’ve watched a Robin Given (can’t spell last name) advance from writing about fashion to interesting and timely commentary on important current events. I also enjoy seeing the variety of different ethnic names of the writers of various news stories This is a very American trait that I am dismayed to see under attack. So keep up the good work and I’ll keep reading. PS Thete are several other columnists I regularly read but don’t have time to list them.Version: 6.1.0
A New Trick For An Old DogAs a born and bred New Yorker from the forties, now retired in Florida, I escaped the cold with only one source of print media, The Times. I continue to read it in digital form and the machinations of New York life remain interesting to me. A like minded friend whom I met upon settling into Palm Beach County alerted me to the benefits of reading The Post. It wasn’t as if I didn’t know of its existence. Anyone who lived through the Watergate era had to be impressed by the quality of investigative reporting that it produced. I have been reading it daily for the last five years. It has become the foundation of my national news ever since. The quality of reporting is excellent, appropriately focused and it certainly disdains sensationalism. During this past year of COVID-19 and the election I stay in touch with breaking news throughout the day. Thank you for asking for my opinion and for producing such a high quality publication. Respectfull, David Eidelman..Version: 5.9.0
Consider thisDear Washington Post, Yes…I’m aware that the times have changed in ALL profitable industries. Be clear, this review is NOT about that. Instead, as a suggestion, please read the most current book by Alexandra Robbins. You don’t even need to read the entire chapter to understand her gist. Why? Because I am a lifetime reader of WaPo. Now go to the July 16 issue - G section. On G3 there is the data analysis for the week. Kids aren’t looking for topics that don’t concern them. To further my point…read the largest photo in the Lifestyle section AND the front page of today’s Business section. Talk about high interest stories for upper elementary students. Please have enough professional faith in veteran teachers to use the resources available to them. Let’s perpetuate and build readers in the DMV area…. these are your future subscribers to your online access… Please take this up the chain. You can do this. Thank you..Version: 6.43.0
Bring Back The MORE button!Ok, I’ve never had an issue with the app until now, but I have to express my displeasure about the new way the comments are being handled. I have to preface this by saying that I’m a big fan of the free-ranging comments sections attached to most stories. Unfortunately, I don’t like how the comments scroll endlessly without any breaks now. My old (and preferred) method was to read through a page or two just to get a general idea of what people were saying. I don’t want my OCD to kick in and get carried way in an endless scroll. Please, return to the old way or, at least, let us choose one method or the other. It really is annoying. Also, as a suggestion, I think it would be cool if another method of sorting the comments was added to the present options of newest, oldest, most replies and most liked. How about we also get to choose a completely randomized selection of comments? That could be a nice way to discover a few hidden gems that got buried at some point. Just a thought..Version: 6.65.1
The Washington Post: The “go to” news for newsI was, since the age of FIVE, when I learned how to read well, an avid reader (seriously!) of anything except sports, in the New York Times. Fast forward to the ripe old age of 66, and slowly but steadily, since 2016, when the presidential election was lost to a would-be despot (will-be?), I gravitated toward the Washington Post. Recently, I look the leap, and I am now a subscriber to the Washington Post. As of now, I am an avid supporter of this fine newspaper, and even when I know an article I am about to read is one I will find utterly awful because of the subject (such as racial bigotry and Trumps’s constant tweeting random/or lies), I KNOW I will be reading what MUST be read for the sake of TRUTH, not “fake news” or “alternative facts”. The Washington Post simply IS to me what the NEW YORK TIMES was- superb journalism without the backsliding. I couldn’t be happier with my first choice in news readership!.Version: 4.5.1
An appreciation for the courageousOur Founding Father’s created a government that was is supposedly designed with “Checks and Balances.” What they did not plan on was that moment when one of those branches lacks the integrity or courage to executed their solemn oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. Sadly, that is where we find ourselves at this moment. The WP and others in MSM - particularly print media - have courageously stepped in to fill the breech to bravely defend the Rule of Law, and the concept of Human Decency our forefathers valued so much. So far, their reward - to come under an attack that seems to get stronger everyday. At some point history will show us who were the heroes and who were the villains of this moment in our journey. No doubt - America’s Free Press will be among those heroes. My hope is that ALL of America comes to that realization soon. I’m not sure we will ever truly appreciate the great patriotic service these journalist have performed for our nation..Version: 3.19.4
The best overall investigative journalism on politics, our government, and moreThe Washington Post is my go to source for news, opinion, and deep dive investigations into American government and politics. The WaPo app is great, and if you subscribe, you get audio on almost everything. I love that feature, and use it daily. As a convenient bonus, you can get all access to WaPo right now for 29 bucks instead of 120, with their generous Labor Day sale. If you miss this sale, they’ll have others…but I’ve never seen a better one than this, just saying. And no, I’m not affiliated with WaPo in any way. I’m someone who sees the necessity of supporting the work they do as our country’s fourth estate. If we lose real journalism to the propaganda filled alternatives popping up everywhere, our great American Experiment will be defeated before it ever reaches its lofty goals. Just get the app and subscription…you won’t be sorry..Version: 6.66.1
A new year for WAPOI read WAPO daily, and NYT, the guardian, the Atlantic, listen to NPR; I used to read WSJ, I like Spiegel, CN news, nothing in the Middle East, read Moscow Carnegie Int’l for peace and security. The combination of this effort gives me an insight into what is going on in the world and domestically. I stopped reading WSJ; the subscribers are too racist for my taste. The NYT is somewhat similar to WAPO; last year was good for both newspapers. WAPO accepted about 80 % of my comments, the NYT barely 20%. Carnegie no longer accept comments, the comments were too damaging for allied countries in the middle east. I am no longer interested in what they have to say. Comments are extremely important for a large sector of subscribers. WAPO IS SCREENING AND REJECTING MORE COMMENTS. Progressive democrats may decide to create online their own forum and subscriptions for WAPO/NYT may plateau. Forums end up becoming more radicals. There are plenty of good publications waiting for readers. WAPO SHOULD NOT TAKE READERS FOR GRANTED..Version: 5.33.0
Get back onI have been a subscriber digital for 2+years and today I had to pay my bill with a different CC account. Now I’m trying to get back on the app so I can read Washington post again they sent me here this morning and I’m still not connecting and being updated ! I’m frustrated I’m angry because I’m going in circles - I push the button to get back on and I’m told no can do so they send me to some other app that says if youre looking for Washington post press here and back I go to the button that Wa Po sent me to 10 minutes ago I’ve never been so misinformed ever - how is this easier and quicker as Washington post claims in these very pictures above I give this app a big black 0 for treating your customer’s terrible- I’m a paying customer too- this is not free either who do I go to to get this app fixed? You don’t even have tech support button - nothing.Version: 6.40.0
UspsI retired from USPS in 2017. The Post Office was created during the birth of our nation. It was created as a Service for our nation not a business entity. That was changed under a Republican Administration in 1972. It was was made a quasi government enterprise to make a profit. In which it did. The government took their profits for many years. Then in another Republican Administration in 2007 made sure the Usps was saddled with paying forward health expanses and pensions so far ahead that people not born yet will have the pensions and health care funded. No other government entity has this burden. This was done to hurry the break up of the Usps so it can be pickup by private companies. My know the history and the job,,I know the Usps. I have always considered the Usps a Service to the American people not a business . It should not be saddled with fiscal burdens to destroy it but it must be returned to what the founding fathers wanted,,to be a Service to the American people. Thanks BW Cox.Version: 4.5.1
Thank youThank you to all journalists who keep the news coming. I’m not a journalist I’m a music teacher. Please support journalism anywhere that tells the truth. If we don’t it will end life as we know. Encourage friends, families young people to read and know what is going on in America and the world. The world is scary and by being informed we must make informed decisions to support each other as humans in a complex and rapidly declining world. How my heart aches for those oppressed and downtrodden by oppressors. How my heart aches for the lies told in the world. How my heart aches for those who are uninformed and make shallow decisions without regard for humanity. Thank you WP and other news outlets for taking the truth for those who have no voice. I support you wholeheartedly! I try to make it my mission to read and understand on a daily basis. Please consider making it your personal mission are well..Version: 6.49.0
Terrible to Read as a Traditional PaperThe WP App for iPad just keeps getting worse for those of us reading the traditional paper format. When it was a separate App, it used to be OK. If I accidentally flipped a page, I could flip back and see it EXACTLY as I was viewing it, zoomed in on the same area of the page. That feature has been gone since this app absorbed the paper view. But the App has never remembered where I was reading last time I opened the app - and still does not. But new is its ability to either crash or throw the reader out of the newspaper view if tapping on the article to view it in the reader. This does not happen most of the time, but apparently some of the printed articles are not available in the reader - and that causes it to crash. The WP will print a nice response asking me to contact them. I have. The problem is the App, not my iPad and we have proven that together. I love reading the WP. I just want to stop being aggravated from trying to use their app..Version: 6.52.0
Search is useless, lack of dissentA recent article I had seen while scrolling the app was no longer visible. I searched the subject’s name but only older articles appeared. I went on Google and found the WaPo article and that link brought me back to the app. A frustrating work around and I’ve had to do this many times. Also, sometimes certain stories linger on the home page for a few too many days. And the Crossword sub-section frequently forgets my progress and I must restart a puzzle if I dare step away for too many minutes. Those are tech issues which will likely continue to be disregarded (they’re a year old at least). Content-wise, I would like to see more dissenting voices — throw rocks at the establishment and think critically and not as all one team. When one of your own reporters is blatantly hypocritical I shouldn’t have to go on Google to find (the thousands of) dissenting voices calling her out, this time with no self-critical WaPo links BTW..Version: 6.4.1
Google ads block recipes- WP does nothing.I have written again& again to ask WP to PLEASE provide the option to “x” out google ads in recipes. On any other site I can “x” out ads & put the recipe in PDF form in iBooks on my phone. I’m a paying subscriber & can copy recipes from NYT & many other sites after I “x” out google by clicking on the “x” in the ad & then click on “ad covers content.” It works everywhere but not on WP site. I did that on several ads in today’s “special” recipe from WP but could not on a US Cellular ad. So the stinking ad covers a huge chunk of the instructions for the recipe. Thanks, WP, for not giving a rip- for YEARS. I’ll never look at recipes again on your site & I’m considering ending my subscription. Their “tech” team seems to not have a clue. US Cellular’s ad is an encouragement to never use their service. I don’t now & never will..Version: 5.24.0
Hold the doorHaving watched numerous videos of the insurrection on January 6, I was still not prepared for the horrors this article portrayed regarding the experience of the DC officers who were trying to hold the West Terrace door. The vivid and detailed accounts were much more profound and heartbreaking than the videos could ever convey. I have no idea what it was like for these police officers, however, in my eyes they are all heroes. I was struck by the betrayal of these officers by President Trump. Through sheer strength and determination, these officers tried to hold the door and keep the insurrection from spilling into the Capital building. I am amazed and grateful we did not lose more police officers during the insurrection. While losing one officer is too many, from this written account, it is clear we could’ve lost more due to the president’s inaction. Thank you for this incredibly vivid account of what these officers endured..Version: 5.7.0
Survival toolI long for a functioning “fourth estate”, the investigation and information check on our three branches of government. WAPO consistently delivers accurate, relevant, and fair coverage that opens my eyes to change and spotlights news on the intractable obstacles our society still has not solved. As a native I want local, practical news about government actions, DC goings on, and who is influencing whom…(and for how much!) As an American I rely on news analyses that correctly recognize pivots and shifts in our society. Simply put, Washington Post gives me all of this... and more. Even among the many competitors for my attention, even after 35 years, WAPO still provides the absolutely the best sourced and best synthesized information about our nation’s Capitol, national policy summaries, and local news. It is a big part of my life and my ongoing education. Bless them all..Version: 6.9.1
The essential Washington PostI have subscribed to the Washington Post for the past three years. It is essential reading, especially since most newspapers have either closed or substantially reduced their staff. They no longer have reporters in the nation’s capital or in the state capitols. No one is watching the foxes in the hen house. I know there are many different sources of news today compared to ten or twenty years ago, but many of those sources are pushing a specific right or left-wing agenda. I want news I can trust, and that’s why I rely on the Washington Post. There is no better bargain around than the Washington Post. It gives me more news on Florida politics than the Florida newspapers. An added bonus are the interviews with key policymakers and journalists that help to fill in the details. The Post is essential.

Very good coverage, too many “alerts”The W Post has very good coverage, especially of US politics and world events. And despite those on the far right who can’t stand any news that contradicts their world view castigating WP, I find their reporting to be largely without bias. They *do* seem to have a bias for presenting a lot of pesky facts, which further aggravates those on the far right who deal in opinion and innuendo. As long as they keep the subscription price reasonable - which it is, especially when compared to other news outlets of their stature, I will continue to subscribe. My biggest complaint is their overuse of news “alerts” for items that are not of sufficient importance to merit an alert. They seem to do this in an attempt to increase viewership by encouraging the recipient to click through to the main site or app..Version: 6.29.1
A terrific app for a great newspaperI am new to this app, but not to the Washington Post. This is one of only a handful of “must reads” for anyone wishing to stay fully informed. It’s location in our nation’s capital gives reporters there the advantage in detailing the workings of our government and the activities of our elected officials (plus the goings-on of the unelected players). If this were all the WP did, it would be enough, but there are many other articles on a wide array of interests, including things to do and see in and around Washington, local and national sports, and a roster of talented columnists covering anything you could imagine. There are multiple packages and price points for the app sufficient to include any reader, and the app itself is very user-friendly. Download it and see for yourself; you won’t be disappointed..Version: 6.32.0
On top of facts and critical issuesThe Washington Post app is a great way to read an important newspaper. Balanced news coverage, great columnist, and a terrific fact-checking operation. Well worth the digital subscription and the app is great EXCEPT FOR ONE THING! I get multiple daily emails from The Washington Post and like to queue up stories to read later. If you read the stories, immediately, you can move between the stories you’ve selected. If you wait, however, even a little while, when you click on the Washington Post app, it will lose all of the stories. You have carefully curated for yourself and take you back to a headlines page. It’s very aggravating. Overall, I prefer to read in the Washington Post app, which is very readable copy, but at least on the webpage you can save to a reading list. Why doesn’t the app let you do the same thing?.Version: 6.49.1
One BIG problemExcept for one huge issue, I love the WP app. It’s certainly better for the environment. But, for reasons I cannot fathom, articles in the app almost never have the option to increase the font size. In fact, most articles don’t even let you “pinch” the screen to zoom in. This latter feature is far from ideal in that you have to slide the article left and right to read each line, but it’s better than nothing. Many people read the news online because they have difficulty seeing the print edition. The NYT app includes the font size feature on most articles so it can’t be that difficult to do. Did some yahoo with perfect vision make a conscious decision to exclude this feature? Was it deemed too expensive? Is some editor so taken with the aesthetics of their layout that they feel the need to lock it in? I just cannot think of a single valid decision to dictate a single font size..Version: 6.49.0
Superior Factual JournalismWe hear the term Patriot being thrown around by blow hearts that want to twist the information, they believe if they speak their falsehoods numerous times that people will believe their narrative is the truth. But in reality they do not have facts or truth. The Post and it’s journalists have verified facts that speak truth to power. Journalists at the Post are professionals and not two bit imposters that fill present day public positions. They understand that any false information not varieties would be career ending. The Post’s Journalist are our true PATRIOTS! Those that tell the true story fear reporting falsehoods. Those that tell falsehoods have no fear of telling falsehoods because their only survival is to bend the truth to their universe, they fill if you say unverified falsehoods enough there must be some truth in what they say. Free journalism verified is what helps keep are lives free!.Version: 3.34.0
Clickbait HeadlinesWhile Bezos owning the Washington Post may have helped get them the right tech to modernize their website and apps, the biggest downside I see, and one that I think has contributed to our culture of polarization, is the exaggerated, hyperbolic clickbait headlines used to drive user engagement. I can’t go a week without seeing how so-and-so “brutally” “took down” so-and-so and similar. For someone who seems to pride himself on the quality of his reading repertoire and started his business in books (and who’s so wealthy you’d think he would set more limits on this), Bezos has optimized eyeballs at the cost of de-elevating the quality of the Post’s reading experience, and it’s uncomfortable—I want a Post subscription to balance against the New York Times, but I feel less elevated reading today’s Post headlines, to the point where it feels like less of a stretch to think that Bernstein and Woodward must have reported for the Times rather than for their “modern” Washington alternative..Version: 4.0.1
More emphasis on newsworthy positive.Frightening how much advertising, hacking, interruptions not desired crowd into the actual news reporting. Frightening how google overrides my safari. Apparently this is the way the internet works now and everyone I mention it to hates it also. Stressful. Annoying. A huge waste of time deleting. No wonder we are in a mental health crisis. Aside from the time it takes to eliminate trash and waste, instant news is a miracle, the WP is filled with useful if heartbreaking information. I wish the writers were more representative in their numbers of the actual population of this country. Also wish the Senate represented the population numbers of the State. It is beyond belief how incorrectly and unfairly they represent the people in various states. Democracy is an uphill battle against power interests and money. Will never change. A tribute to courage and decency that the fight continues. Thank you..Version: 6.39.0
It was really hard…I tapped the screen to subscribe to the Washington Post and to have the app. I paid for a year. It showed up on my apple payment but it took two whole weeks plus to get it to work. I am dumbfounded that the signup was so hard. I called for help. I signed up for help online. Did everything I could think of to get it to work. Nothing. It shouldn’t be this hard. I finally got it to work though I couldn’t tell you what I did different. I was very, very frustrated. It needs to be easier. I never had a problem when I subscribed to the NYTIMES. Regards, PMJ That was a year ago. Renewed since and Good since. Love the coverage and lots of good articles. I especially like that I can easily review and comment on the news. Often do. Does not seem skewed in any way. Some comments are a little rough and tumble. But no control over what some folks will say. Might be disinformation. Have to always watch for that, but that is pretty obvious most of the time. Keep up the good work. Need to be kinder to old Joe. He is doing a pretty fabulous job. And Kamela is Fabulous too. Too, too hard on her, I think. No bad news, or disputes. All good. (especially compared to the alternative, Jesus!!!) With regards, PMJ.Version: 6.49.0

A great source for unbiased newsI love the post most. The listen to this story so I can listen hands free while I shave, eat or drive. I love being to send article to friends for free. I love the opinion pieces and I love the coverage of not just U.S. politics but the whole world. A great news ap.Version: 6.29.1
My "go to" news appThe WP has become my "go to" news app. I prefer it to other major news sources and news "amalgamations". I like the way that the articles are organized and the layout. One feature that I like in particular is the ability of the app to read articles to me when I am out on walks..Version: 6.19.1
A Canadian readerThe Washington Post is this Canadian’s way of staying in touch with my southern neighbour. Naturally, my world view is different as our culture and historical evolution is different, but I love my daily session with the Post. I often comment too, always respecting I’m a guest in your country. I often forward opinion pieces to my Canadian friends and family..Version: 6.32.0

Good balanced coverage from professionals.Don’t get your news for free...you get what you pay for. Reasonably priced subscription...worth every penny.Version: 5.7.0
A Canadian PerspectiveIt’s sort of embarrassing that I, a Canadian living in Ontario, (that’s a Province in case you assumed that Canada has States) turns to the Washington Post for her world news. I should be referring to the Globe and Mail, the Canadian equivalent of the Post. But the truth is I love the Washington Post and I like the Glibe and Mail. Kudos to WP!.Version: 6.70.3
Honest and thorough reportingI appreciate the factual, straightforward style of writing in the Washington Post articles. The depth and breadth of coverage is also much appreciated. The descriptive subheadings help me to know of key happenings nationally and internationally, and decide if I wish to read further. Clear labelling about whether an article is a report or an analysis of events is also appreciated. As a Canadian, I would of course like to see more coverage of Canadian events of significance that may impact Americans and the rest of the world..Version: 4.0.1
Content ne plus ultra,but...Even here in Canada the Wash Post and NY Times are respected bastions of the free press,reliable and rational reporters of the observable,mortal world we share...esp during these present days the calm and collected reporting,reaction and reflection these papers bring to the reader are much needed and appreciated...but,the constant sign-in,password and captcha routines are driving me to the edge of un-subscribing...you have my money,give me the access I’ve paid for,instead of endless fuzzy captchas’ and still no ability to save articles...because of that the rating should be a meh 3 stars but the 5 star content brings it up to 4 stars.....Version: 5.4.0
The bestThe Washington Post is my go to app for real news. I read the digital version of the actual paper every day, but the app is a great source for updates. I’m a Canadian living in Canada. I’m sticking with you because of your journalists.Version: 6.70.3
Just bought a subscription after the Post’s refusal to endorse anybodyI stopped reading the post in 2017 after I realized the clowns in the editorial board were never going to stop publishing lies about President Trump, such as the “very fine people” hoax. With the impending restructuring of the Post as far left ideologues leave and cancel their subscriptions by the thousands, I have decided I might have been wrong in 2017 and would like to show my support for this long-overdue action. We will see how this pans out. We will see whether the Post continues to lie about Trump 47’s border policies, about Russian collusion, about video evidence of election fraud in 2020, and about the regulatory capture of segments of the federal administration. I do not expect to like everything I read in the Post. That is not the point. But I expect everything I read to be backed up by real sources who have been vetted for conflicts of interest, something that was not done in the case of the Hunter laptop for example, in which the word of “50 former intelligence officials” was treated as truth rather than opinion. And to remind you, dear reader, of the egregiousness of this stenography, one of these people was the same James Clapper whose perjury when questioned by Democratic Senator Ron Wyden in 2013 was cited as Snowden’s inspiration for leaking NSA files to Glenn Greenwald at the Guardian. No, I do not expect to agree with everything the Post writes, but I do expect them to adhere to the centuries old principles of journalism and the game theory of adversarial truth seeking. If I detect that the political opinions of the editors or authors factor into decisions about what to publish, I will again cancel my subscription. But as long as I am satisfied that the writers have done their due diligence and that they are not missing true stories that are important to my political values, I will remain a loyal subscriber of the Post. I am cautiously optimistic..Version: 6.70.2
Cancelling subscription to postGiven your refusal to endorse the only viable, not to say sane, presidential candidate in 2024 is a shameful act of cowardice. I’m done with the Post. Drew Perry.Version: 6.70.0
Good journalism. Good read (mostly, if you ignore idiotic special columnists)I am a very happy subscriber for the news, but the app has a silly problem. When I got the daily email, I would normally hit on a link and the webpage would open and all was good, though the comments section would often not load. So switched to the app. Now all works well. I had complained about a problem, but they have fixed it. Kudos..Version: 6.68.0

Best reading experienceI live in Montreal and subscribe to the WPost. First: variety and abundance of news, subjects, topics. Second: I can listen to the WP with high quality human reading. Third: easy to read through my gmail, the app on my phone and tablet. Fourth: the « print » rendering for nostalgics is always available on a clic. Good job..Version: 6.58.0
WaPo ReviewI was introduced to WaPo via CNN a couple of years ago — they’re both great news sources but WaPo allows me the ‘keyboard warrior’ element that is satisfying on a few different levels: — involvement when it seems that ‘nothing can be done about it except vote once a year’; — community of somewhat like-minded sorts … some regular good sports & a few very high quality ‘engagements’ and flow of ideas; — plus the reality of the ‘rabid right’ and various other trolls ‘Foreign or Domestic?’ I sometimes question. Anyway, with Republicans dragging the quality of governmental & diplomatic discourse lower than EVER in the history of the nation one realizes that DEMOCRACY & rule of law at all levels is at its lowest point since slavery & Wild West days — things are serious & we must PAY ATTENTION..Version: 6.62.0
5 star but NOT for allI pay for Washington post for several years & have noticed a real decline in the quality of the journalism happening. Journalists are creeping in a direction that I personally do not favor(Canadian way we write some words..different than America) Many of the journalists are writing NOT facts but personal feelings, nothing but partisan opinions & very obvious to the reader which political party they are affiliated with. NOT attractive at all. The quality of journalism today is low! I’m writing this because I hope someone with control over who/what & most important the substance of articles being written, they double check the “FACTUALITY” of the articles!! Because a lot of personal conspiracy feelings, opinions, WANTS, are the bulk of what Washington Post journalists are PUSHING! False is a common word which crosses my mind when I read articles written, especially on the political front! Dangerous!! These are dangerous times NOT just for America, but for us all. All democracies around the world will be totally affected, destroyed, if America FAILS:Makes the “same mistake TWICE”! A lot of WP journalists are pushing THEIR political Republican “fake news”…lies…No fact checking truths to many of the articles. Lies drove America to where it is today…FACTS, TRUTH matters!! Misleading Americans will one & for all destroy America, which in the end destroys us all. USA is our world leader & I like billions around the world expect a lot more TRUTH being written by WP journalists! Quality had Always mattered..and must matter even MORE today!!.Version: 6.54.0

Good journalism & app except for audio adsI've enjoyed my paid subscription to this news outlet and app until today, when I fell for a "new! We've listened to your feedback and made our audio articles better!" teaser. The articles start with a long audio ad. Who needs that?? I PAY for this paper..Version: 6.48.0
