Comments on Washington Post: Live News for Android

★★★★★ Pam Ellis · Sep 16, 2026
What else can I say, it's the Washington Post. It's easy to navigate, easy to find the stories you're looking for, and it's one of the best newspapers on the planet.
★★★★★ Andrew werdnA · Sep 10, 2026
Reliable news source reporting objective facts. Developer is helpful resolving issues with the app Thank you 😀
★★★★★ Donald Durand · Oct 11, 2026
I love reading the articles in the Washington Post. I trust their articles present the news as accurate as possible.
★☆☆☆☆ Mason Deterding · Sep 22, 2026
False advertising! It promises you "free access" if you sign up for an account to read articles, but then none of the articles are free once you're signed in. You wonder why the president's upset with you? Stuff like this is why.
★☆☆☆☆ Rachel S · Aug 11, 2026
Over the past few weeks, every time I hit the back button after reading an article, I am taken to the beginning of the day's news feed, then I have to scroll through to find my place. Why has this begun happening? Very annoying. 8/11/26 - Its happening again. I uninstalled, reinstalled to no avail
★★☆☆☆ Paul Suchko · Aug 13, 2026
Whenever you return to an article it always goes back to the top of the main screen!
★☆☆☆☆ Sue Y · Oct 21, 2026
Since I have a subscription, I don't understand why I can't copy and paste or even press a word to look up that I may not understand. What's up with that? Probably won't renew on that basis. Using Moto edge 2024 with the Wapo app
