Ratings and reviews

The only thing I don't like and it is incredibly frustrating, is that if I pull up an article on Facebook, the app does not recognize me as a subscriber and it says I am out of free articles for the month. I then have to go to the app, and find the article to read instead of just clicking. I like how easy it is to pull the article off the app however. Much better than NYT.

The Post is one of the most trustworthy news organizations in the world. Reporting is factual, and not based on "alternative" facts (aka lies). the app itself could use improvement in its search engine. It can be difficult at times to find articles that I know exist, even if I search by author for an opinion piece. it is frustrating that I can save articles if I open via the app, but if I navigate to the article from an email ad, I can't. The interface should be the same.

Presentation of stories is great. I love the degree to which digital media is being incorporated to create a richer experience. Search is horrible though - I can see a story on the WP website and search for keywords from the title in the app and never find the story. Not once have I succeeded in finding a specific story I wanted through the search tool. Developers, please fix! Thanks.
