I absolutely LOVE reading The Washington Post and really like their updates, too. Their stories are exceptionally well written and accurate (NO fake news). I respect the journalist s who gather the news and write the stories. The opinion pieces are also outstanding. Thank u Washington Post journalists, editors, and the publisher for making sure we continue to receive accurate information and for doing such an excellent job every day. MY THOUGHTS HAVEN'T CHANGED. The Washington Post is THE BEST.

Washington Post provides first-rate content. This app offers very easy access to that content. Navigation is very smooth and easy to use. It generally loads quickly. One minor gripe, is that the app icon on my Kindle displays a headline that may or may not be easily found when you open the app.

Excellent, easy to read and maneuver through. You can save articles for later and search the database for specific articles on your interests. Besides, they print Dave Barry's annual year in review! You can't beat that!

Democracy does die in darkness, and as the above news sources are free this one is not, but Democracy is free!! Capitalism on the other hand disguises itself and hides under the guise of Democracy! The Posts' slogan is terribly contradicting. What about the less fortunate, will you let them die in darkness?

BUYER BEWARE! Everyone should be aware that Google Newsstand is completely unaware of the products that they're selling, they have no clue that when we purchase the Washington Post through their application that we will have no access to the Washington Post website even though the Washington Post website states that we can connect our digital subscriptions to their website; but not if you purchased it through Google Newsstand. What's even worse is that Google Newsstand tried to alleviate t
