Washington Post Erfahrungen und Bewertung

Just discovered today, as a new subscriber for some weeks, that there really are comments available to the Post articles. Unfortunately not in the app, what saddens me, only on their website. Disappointing ...

The App always auto-downloads the newspaper. There is no way to disable this function. Costs too much storage!

Continually reloads the articles. They must have to many functions and measurement bots running in the background. I'm lucky to read the first two sentences before it reloads.

When you start the app it takes longer then other news apps to load. When you click on an a headline to read the article it takes forever to open and even worse to top it off you get a failure warning and it blacks out and reloads. And reloads again. And again...
Their app has so many things running in the background that my iPad can't keep up with all their tracking that it constantly reloads. To counter this I will try emailing myself the article so I can at least read it later, but that doesn't always function well with opening the email at the same time their app is open.
Email function has less support over the last months. Finally,I am a paid subscriber and there is no function to leave comments.
In conclusion, I would tell me friends not to subscribe to them. I only gave two stars because of the excellent journalism which deserves all five stars but the crappy app only should receive one star.

I have a premium subscription without tracking and ads. The app still displays ads and keeps tracking me.

//Edit in response to dev comment about there being ads in all WP apps/adfree only on website: Thanks for your response. Oddly enough the other WP app does not display any ads once I am logged in. It is only this, the classic app, not respecting my subscription.

Deshalb nur 2* es nervt immer wieder bewerten zu sollen

Having transitioned from the Washington Post Select app, this one is cluttered. And can’t hold a candle to the experience and visual presentation of the soon to be closed Select app. Disappointed.

I am disappointed from the poor Read-Aloud functionality that is less natural than Google's Read-Aloud-Service, which could be used instead. I guess there would also be other options.

Just updated the app and now it’s no longer working in dark mode although everything on my iPhone is set up that way. I find it so much easier to read. Love the content so I hope this isn’t a problem with the app but rather me being too stupid to figure it out...

Sehr gut recherchierte Berichte. Und auch objektiv geschrieben. So muss guter Journalismus sein.

Great app of a fantastic newspaper. But - and this is bummer! - there is no way to toggle between lightmode and darkmode exept changing the whole device. I want to be able to toggle the app to light mode, even if my device is set to dark mode.

nicht zweite.

Eine sehr gute App mit schlichtem Design und guter Schrift.

Simply the best US paper available. The best times of the NYT are long over.

I enjoy the style, the courage. In the end truth will prevail 💪🏼

Very detailed reports and clips about what really is going on in terms of the politics, society and social developement of the USA.

I love the new app - it’s much better than before. More content & much more user-friendly.

You provide news the world needs to stay alive! Thank to all of you!

Even though I lack comparison I think I am reading one of the finest newspapers there is!

Keep up your critical work

A german European is more than thankful for getting information and analysis on the „true“ US. You are not to be envied. Keep it up.

I read your paper almost every day and find it extremely well-informed, transparent, critical and entertaining.

I criticized your slogan, DEMOCRACY DIES IN DARKNESS, the meaning of which you have an obligation to explain to your readers. I think its is inappropriate, should be dropped in favour of a more constructive note.

I want more political reporting on solutions to global problems, and less about drama about trump and fights between dems and Republicans.

for things I can get free? Nope, thanks, too many alternatives out there.

The last update makes the app unusable. Urgent fix needed.

Unfortunately

I simply like it.
