What's New in Version 1.12.4
This update fixes a bug that prevented readers from accessing search results and inline links.
Customer Reviews
Short on actual news, some articles don't scroll
Breaking news can take a day to appear, unlike other newspaper sites (and WaPo's own site). Perhaps the work to ready article for the app is slowing things down, but it turns this into a much more leisurely approach to "news" than I was expecting. Worse, by the looks of other reviews and my own daily experience, there is a problem with one or more articles each day that will not scroll. You can only see the headline, the top image and a few lines of the article's text. I've submitted this to the App's support link. Nothing. WaPo must be aware of this (by the number of reviews). Yet the problem persists.
Limited Content. Freezes Daily
Obsessed with Trump. Though he is our President, there is more to report than his latest tweet debacle. Recently subscribed to the Financial Times--much more balanced, providing news about the world, not just Trump.
This App has gotten worse. Freezes on at least one top article a day, on that you cannot scroll down. Restarting makes no diff. Wapo needs better techs and a broader perspective.
Hate to tell u boobs, but Trump lovers don't read Wapo or NYT, so all the anti-Trump articles r just preaching to the choir. So bored with the same old, probably going to cancel my sub.
Best reporting in the country
I don't have any experience with the website or the print edition, but I feel strongly that WaPo is the most important single organization in our country today. The reporting is superb and they focus on what is important. I have never even considered paying for my news until now.
