All of a sudden it’s awful

I don’t know why they ruined this app but it’s pretty worthless now. The front page is short so you have to dig for recent articles. And it’s cluttered with sections like live feeds and podcasts. Just another great app destroyed by people trying to fix something that wasn’t broken. I’m not even going to try to get used to this mess. Just going to uninstall. Good luck

Paywalled to hell

It’s a shame to have almost everything paywalled now.

No need for my info

The moment you required my info was the moment you got deleted. Adios.

Raw intelligent REAL news

A breath of fresh air amongst the garbage & disinformation this White House feeds Americans daily.

A Trusted Source for Staying Informed

POLITICO is a great source for staying informed about American politics, government, elections, legislation, and the people and issues shaping public policy. I appreciate the depth of its coverage and the focus on providing timely information about what is happening in Washington and beyond.

The reporting gives readers useful context instead of simply focusing on headlines, which makes it easier to understand the significance of current political developments. I also appreciate the variety of topics and perspectives covered across its platform.

Overall, POLITICO is an informative and valuable resource for anyone who wants to follow politics and government more closely. Five stars!

The graham death article

You get a “1” because if leaving the graham death article visible in your news feeds for almost 4 months - that’s a fail!

Great content, app still weak

The app is much improved since the last time I reviewed it, but now the problem is the login. I created an account and password which works on the website, but the app refuses to recognize my password. Get it together, people! I assume you want to eventually charge for access. You will never get me to pay with such a poorly-engineered app!

Phishing?

Have subscribed for many months. Suddenly I am required to add name and other personal info.

Biased news, not worth reading

I used to consume a lot of my news from Politico, but over the last few years they’ve become extremely biased in their reporting. Not a good source of honest news reporting anymore.

I’ve written emails to them calling out particular word choices and how they describe situations. After seeing another article today, I’ve given up removed this app.

Corporate dem pandering bs

Corporate dem pandering bs

You need my job title and company to create an account?

No way am I giving you this information just to browse news on this app.

News turned propaganda

What used to be a well respected news outlet decided to shred any semblance of dignity or impartiality and became a mouthpiece for right wing demagogues

Even the open an account link doesn’t work!

I was seriously considering a switch from NYT to Politico but I can’t even determine the cost of a subscription via the app. It’s incredibly slow and, judging from overwhelming number of one-star category in ‘recent reviews’, is simply shut down.

Politico is pro-Zionist

I have no respect for news outlets that push Zionist propaganda.

Turned into a shill for Trumpy politics

Politico used to have great cutting-edge reporting, with depth and insight. Now it’s a lot of propaganda pieces for Trumpy politics.

Döpnfer ruined this

People read this outlet because it feels impartial and professional. I guess not anymore.

Fascist organization forcing employees to back Israel or quit

Yeah we don’t stand with Israel and any organization that forces employees to support the terrorist state of Israel is not worth supporting. Free Palestine

News stories won’t open

Politico iOS app suddenly stopped opening news stories. I can see the headline, but when I want to read further, it will not open.

Overstep

When we want to read news it shouldn’t have such a verification, you guys act like it secret news. Calm down and get over yourself!

Egregiously partisan and divisive rhetoric

Pushes increasingly authoritarian, left wing talking points and disinformation at the expense of balance and perspectival diversity. The publication makes no effort to present the different legitimate angles of a given issue, nor does it trust the reader to come to his or her own conclusions; evidently, there is no room for the “demos” in “democratic” here.

On the plus side, for anyone seeking a flavour of the corporatist ideology that prevails in today’s mainstream discourse, or of the false consciousness that pervades the so-called globalist cohort, one could do worse than read this bien pensant publication.
