Unlike the older version, I could no longer login to my current Washington Post subscription due to bugs, so I couldn't read more than a few stories a month in my subscribed newspaper. It also wouldn't remember that I was logged in to my local paper subscription, so I had to login again any time I saw a headline that I wanted to check out. When I contacted customer service (about the first issue, which seemed most pressing), I received no reply. Another annoyance is that the only available widget is the large one. The old version had a smaller widget that didn't include large pictures, and it fit my screen better. It would be nice if they had kept that as an option.

Incredibly buggy. Feels like it's still in alpha, not even beta yet. Google's "simplified view" for web pages is NOT user friendly -- it forces a small font that's difficult to read, and when you zoom, you can't drag, so you have to zoom out and back till you can focus on what you actually want to see. Most embedded videos don't even work -- however the ads do :-\ . This app is not ready for prime time.

I can't stand this app. I don't want video links dominating the news. Almost 100% of the notifications don't work (by the time I click on them, it takes me an empty list of "recent notifications", and provides no way to get to the story). The embedded browser is obnoxious and behaves awfully; I just had one instance where I clicked on a story, and it just brought me to list of other articles by the same publisher. Where is the story whose headline I actually clicked on?
