Washington Post - Latest Quality Issues
iOS
Apr 13, 2024
Terrible new commentators
There used to be a good mix of intelligent conservative and liberal opinion writers. The new editor in chief has brought on conservative writers who are spouting propaganda. This will be my last year as a subscriber.

Paid Subscriber.....Annoying ads
I have been a subscriber for several years and only recently have noticed ads when I go to game center to play the crossword or soduku. This has only happened within the last 3 weeks or so. Previously when I selected the game the app would cycle to the ad but it was always bypassed. I have provided feedback several times within the app to no avail. I understand the purpose of ads for noon-subscribers too offset the cost of proving the app. I get it. But as an all access subscriber I should never see ads. I love the Washington Post but this is really annoying.

Paying premium for adverts
The premium subscription says that there are “no on-site ads”. You would think this means the app itself would have no ads, but no it's only if you are browsing on your laptop. Shady move.

Defend democracy better
You don't defend democracy as well as you should. You give way too much credibility to non-democratic voices. Stop it. I am seriously considering canceling my subscription.

Biased News
The Washington Post has, regrettably, become a biased newspaper that twists the news to support its biased positions. I read this paper for decades. This change has been very regrettable.

iPhone 15 Pro won’t open WaPo App
Can you help? I've looked online and on Apple for solutions to this. I've deleted and reloaded the app. It crashes. I miss it! Thank you.

Crashes chrome devices. I have contacted app support many times over 3 years, yet no solutions. I have to remove the app and restart device just to get my device to work again. Not happy paying for a subscription that I can not use. Washington Post app support just says to contact they, which I have done many times about this issue for 3 years, yet still doesn't work. All other apps work on that device. Only Washington Post does not,.

Buggy. Comments badly broken. Web page works fine; I can see no reason to use this app.

It's a twitchy app, especially when reading the Print Edition. It seems to take a lot of taps, swipes, and other finger moves to navigate from page to page without being plunged to the online version of an article. When a print edition page is zoomed in, the app requires you to zoom out to look at a different section of the page (or to swipe to another page). I'd prefer the print edition mode of the app more closely duplicate the actual, paper print edition. Oops, the app just reset itself!
