Comments on POLITICO for Android

★★★★★ Jim Lenhard · Sep 22, 2026
POLITICO news provides an alternative approach to reporting which deserves CIVIL dialogue, not obstructive behavior towards reporters. Opinions matter even though they are subject to individual interpretation. Interpretation of news events should be open to public debate and CIVIL dialogue. A bipartisan approach to transparency and freedom of speech is needed. This includes open debate related to accuracy of facts. Various perspectives concerning interpretation of the facts benefits everyone.
★★★★☆ Eric Jay · Feb 6, 2025
Edited to 4/4.5 stars to reflect fix to loading issue. To make it brief, the app is functional and Politico is a good source of news to add to your repoirtore. Original review; Hey Politico, you're hemorrhaging users because your app is too slow. It takes anywhere from ten minutes to never open and load properly. Please fix it. People don't even have access to your app at this point. Your ratings are dropping as well, better get on it!
★★★★★ Michelle Dowdle · Oct 16, 2026
REAL NEWS NOT FOX NEWS! TRUTH HURTS DOESN'T IT REP UBS! FREE SPEECH 🍆
★☆☆☆☆ K Ca · May 12, 2025
May 12, 2025, update: What seemed like a bug preventing articles from loading is actually the app now requiring a user register (email, work organization, etc.). Just to read the news. No, thanks. Uninstall.
★☆☆☆☆ Derek · Apr 8, 2026
Articles won't download. No font size adjuster (in 2026 - how is that not an ADA violation?). Good content, poor app. Don't waste your time - just bookmark the website.
★☆☆☆☆ K D · Oct 19, 2024
3rd update - Now the app demands my employer name and job title??! Weird. Creepy. No. What is going on with Politico? Update-Screen/article stuttering.
