Annoyed - Ads WITH Paid Subscription I'm really annoyed. I paid for monthly subscription, but still get annoying ads at bottom of screen that takes up valuable screen space. I cancelled my subscription and will look elsewhere.

Brian Saghy

Uses too much storage. The app is otherwise good, and I like it more than their newer version. But 380MB of cached data is way too much!

Joshua Simard

Traitors WP can suck it. Snowden is a whistleblower and should be protected as such!

Bill Brown

Timely & fast Always current, up to the minute and very stable (all-wise).

R SWAFFORD

World-class reporting on phone.

Rob Blazewick

Useful and timely Love the in-depth reporting and investigative journalism.

Arthur Kebbell September 16, 2016

Excellent Plain , simple, easy to follow... spot on.

Franklin Kenney September 8, 2016

I enjoy the writing, but the app is terrible App freezes all the time...also weirdly refuses to open certain articles. (It allows you to read the headline, but when you click on the article, a different article opens up.)

Mona Holmes September 11, 2016

Subscription price Sorry but if i have to choose which paper gets my hard earned dollar, it's not the Post. Between my local paper and NYT, it's too much for all three. Too bad, because i love the reporting.

Vincent D'Agati September 7, 2016

Quality Assurance Supervisor Washington Post is far Superior to NY Times and I am from NY. Please more investigative reporting including facts on UFOs.

Alan Burke September 13, 2016

Doesn't update Still looking at sports news from yesterday. It's 9:40AM. Same news. Mobile view on browser updates so do that. Anybody know how to get it to update? Nothing on FAQ.

David Berman September 11, 2016

Excellent First with the story. Better than the New York Times.

Hagans 222 September 6, 2016

Rubbish

Vince Skahan July 23, 2016

Why not usable with natl electronic subscription? Other app crashes on startup 100% of time on new tab s2 t813. This one works with a superior interface but demands you upgrade subscription to natl+DC? Ridiculous. What are you guys thinking?

Matt McMurtry July 14, 2016

Good when it works I like the app as it is a nice companion to my subscription,but often it opens the wrong article. I'll click on a Sports section post and get a Top Story. If you can tolerate done bugs out is a good paper companion.

Keith Krokyn August 26, 2016

Virtually antique UI The WashPost ap is pitiful vs. the NYTimes ap. Won't refresh. Lousy layout. Videos are unplayable. I would expect higher caliber ap from a newspaper owned by Jeff Bezos.

Michael Kenward July 18, 2016

Did they con me? "Your National Digital Edition subscription does not include access to this app." So what have I paid for? Looks like a good time to say farewell to a confusing subscription. Not a bad day idea given how flaky the apps are.

A Google User July 8, 2016

So much better After ending my subscription to the Post because of trouble with the old version of the app, I'm back. This one is so much better.

hannibal potaton July 15, 2016

poor choice of fonts and sizes On a Galaxy S4 mini. Section list fontsize too small and header font is awful to read. Fontsize when opening article can be adjusted so thats ok.

John Huie September 10, 2016

Some of America's best political coverage. Displays stories better than the 'blue' WP app, but suffers from the same thinned-out typeface. Easy and attractive access to WP stories by section, variable font size, white-on-black 'night' mode, no comments; full searchable database of Post articles.

Tim Garner June 30, 2016

Great app Love this app. Has the look and feel of a well-organized newspaper, uncluttered with irrelevant, annoying pictures and ads.

evan remele August 5, 2016

Buggy. Doesn't update Oftentimes you just get old articles from a few days ago. Won't refresh. Sometimes no matter which article you select, you always get the top story and nothing else.

Lauren Hefner August 1, 2016

Buggy Often opens the wrong article and fails to recognize valid subscription. Good paper but bad app

Karen Knowles-Pearce August 12, 2016

Disappointed Unlike most other publications, we can't read stories! Only headlines.

Barbara Alexander July 4, 2016

Easy to use...most of the time I use this primarily to share an article from the print edition on Facebook or by email. Works pretty well.

August 27, 2016

Many bad links Clicking on a headline often leads to the wrong story.

Tony Gozdz August 2, 2016

Crashes much too often... even after cleaning the cache etc. (Google Nexus 7 (2013))...

alexander jones July 1, 2016

Great app! Easy to use, and has great articles.

Rod Cowan August 14, 2016

Good but ... They should get rid of the annoying bar at the bottom for subscribers.

Gail Harris July 1, 2016

My Post Ability to save anything NO LONGER WORKS.

wyatt frampton August 11, 2016

Please stop sending me push notifications about the Olympics.

Ken Miller August 30, 2016

Very complete news site. And well-written, which always helps!

Bob Reed July 26, 2016

Quick Review of the News A great way to get a summary of the current news.

Madison Kilpatrick August 23, 2016

Daily user Can't live without it

John Newton July 27, 2016
