Ratings and reviews

The standards are slipping, but The Post still offers real vetted and edited investigative journalism, which is rarer and rarer these days, and worth paying for. The app let's you follow certain writers, which is a godsend because the app is otherwise very weak in terms of both search and discovery (use search to try to find an author or a column and the results are reliably terrible, showing either years-old content or none at all).

Great app but you have to stop sending it back to page one with every little news change. I can be 3/4 of the way through the news when I am shot back to the lead article and have to scroll all the way back to what I was reading. Happens many times a minute and really stinks! No other newspaper app does this. STOP IT! Allow updates to news to accumulate and allow the user to get any immediate updates at their will and not your will. STOP IT and let me read without you changing what I look at.

I really liked this app when I first got it some time ago. Now it's a PITA to get to what I actually want to read via the widget. No matter which article I tap on, it takes me to the top story by default. So then I have to switch tabs/menus/whatever and scroll to find the article of interest (which, BTW, might also have an alternative title, so that adds another layer of frustration). Ugh, so annoying. I just want to get the news that I'm paying to read. Please fix this. Thanks!
