The Post used to be great. Now you go days with the same stories highlighted in the App. I've typically read headline news elsewhere like AP long before it makes it into the Post. I'm still debating whether it's worth the $6.99 a month. I know the news market is shifting, but this is sad.

Note: v7.9.0 seems to have finally fixed a long running series of problems with crashes and articles spontaneously closing. The widget is still erratic, failing to update (even with the update button) and sometimes simply not loading any headlines. That and fixing the editorial board and the publisher, and you'll be good to go

Sorry for the ongoing crashes and widget issues on your Pixel 10 Pro. Version 7.7.0 includes stability fixes, so please update and test again. If issues persist, let us know whether they also occur on another device or via mobile web. You can also contact us directly at help@washpost.com for further support.

seriously, how difficult is it to keep a podcast playing when the screen is off? I have to repeatedly pull my phone out of whatever pocket it's in and open the screen to get the audio to start playing again. Actually, open the app, bringing it back to the foreground before it'll continue. Not the way to run an audio player
