Ratings and reviews

I had an online subscription to the Post for years - it's still active, but will expire in November. However, the content is interrupted by continuous ads that I must scroll past - despite the fact I'm personally paying for the content. I thought the case might be different if I got the app, but it's not. The app offers no advantage over the WP website - still bombarded by ads. A sad situation for one of the US's two newspapers of record.

Crashes chrome devices. I have contacted app support many times over 3 years, yet no solutions. I have to remove the app and restart device just to get my device to work again. Not happy paying for a subscription that I can not use. Washington Post app support just says to contact they, which I have done many times about this issue for 3 years, yet still doesn't work. All other apps work on that device. Only Washington Post does not,.

Imagine paying for a newspaper subscription, but the app won't actually hold an article open for more than 10 seconds before going back to the homepage, eventually leading to the app crashing. It's updated and all. Don't feel like I'm getting my subscription's worth. Plus, with them consistently changing who does the Seven in the morning, and always changing the music is just annoying. I come to you for news. Not different personalities in a podcast or funky transition music. I want the news.
