Comments on Washington Post: Live News for Android

★★★★★ noel grigalunus · Mar 12, 2026
Articles, reporting, and opinions are always on point and truthful, not politically motivated. News stories are always based on fact, not on speculation or misinformation. And always updated frequently and current. I agree, though, with past reviews that the multiple ads are excessive and unnecessary, especially if I and other subscribers are paying to read the news articles.
★★★★★ Sara Ann Dillard · Apr 12, 2026
The Washington Post is my primary news source. I can be sure that I'm getting comprehensive and accurate information.
★★☆☆☆ Albert Godlesky · Mar 19, 2026
I wish there was a way to turn off autoplay when listening to articles. Edit 3/19/26: Please do away with the "Josh" AI voice on articles. That voice is just about the most grating thing I've ever heard.
★★☆☆☆ h d · May 28, 2026
Why does turning Video Autoplay OFF not work for ads? The flicker on the video ads is horrendous and makes the app unusable. So far I've held on to my WaPo subscription, but this maybe the dealbreaker.
★★☆☆☆ T V · Apr 4, 2026
App decent but reporting nowhere near as good since the reorg. Cancelling after subscription ends.
★★☆☆☆ Jj A · Apr 15, 2026
Was always biased reporting. Now reporting quality and content has deteriorated so much, it is not worth reading. Downgraded to 2 stars.
★☆☆☆☆ Ric K · Apr 28, 2026
The app content is garbage. "Alleged gunman?" He is a man, and he had guns. What is alleged about that?
