Ratings and reviews

New format/update isn't opening articles. Also, the daily digest in email no longer drops you into specific articles. Just brings you to the app where you have to search again for the article you had selected in the email. And then half the time, when you find it, you can click, but it won't open.

When i hit the app to play, it tries to open but closes immediately. Then, I get a notice saying the app has a bug and to update it after the developer provides a fix. I hope this is done soon because I love WTOP. 2/6/25: Appears WTOP app has been fixed. Yay. It's working great now. So, I have updated my rating. Thank you.

The app needs constant internet connection to continue showing an article. When riding in metro for example, articles will disappear while you are reading them when in tunnels. Also, going 'back' after reading an article takes you back the main search page instead of continuing your selected filter search, filters are lost and have to start over each time. This app could use an overhaul. Other than that, the app appears fine.
