Login screen is clunky and slow

Logging in gives you several options too many, I don’t use the app frequently and while I have my login info saved, I don’t always remember which login it’s under. This added frustration in logging in and ultimately decided the content wasn’t worth the moments of frustration.

Was a worthy app

I loved the app. Somehow my original account was hacked and I lost my points and saved articles. When I sign in now with the same email address, my profile is missing. Thanks.
Edit: 4/6/24 So, I recommend some 2FA, at least so we can pretend to have ownership of our own stuff. Forgive me, I am disheartened over this one. Could have been one of the best news apps.

My favorite place to get news

By far the best place to get real news. Loads of great content, civil discussions and fun tidbits as well. Great job done by the Post crew. New and thoughtful ideas updated regularly. Keep up the good work.

Great vision and objective, still very poor UX

Repeat login issues + lack of iPad view are my main pain points.
after that information architecture feels very unclear.

really hoping this will change in a few versions.

Needs IPad support, and better relogin memory

There is currently no iPad support, which means I get a tiny IPhone version on my screen. Not acceptable for a social media app. Also, it constantly forgets me, forcing the entire relogin process—that also is a barrier to frequent use. Great concept, please address the shortcomings

A superb job by the Post team

Post is still a very new app and service, and it works remarkably well.

The UI is horrible on iPad

This appears to be yet another application written for iPhone but nothing else. We need n alternative to Twitter for following news but, sadly, it appears that this isn’t going to be it.

I don’t get it, plus app is crap

I really tried but I don’t get paying for news that’s readily available? The app has a lot of issues as well so I finally uninstalled. EG: I keep getting email summaries I didn’t subscribe too and there is no unsubscribe in the email. When I click the link it goes to the web, then it’ll finally open the app - but it wants me to log in. Upon logging in - I still had to dig around to find a way to unsubscribe. Whenever I did try the app it wanted me to re-login. I have 1000 apps and do not memorize a PW for each one. Give me Touch ID or I just give up after repeated re-login requests. I finally uninstalled when I realized I wasn’t even using the app because of the login issue 🤷🏻‍♀️

Sketchy

This app has never had the uptake it needed, many high profile first adopter backers have bailed, and the app seems to skirt App Store rules. Don’t like where this is headed. I might occasionally check in on the desktop — the browser web site doesn’t even work on my phone anymore.

Issues

The app is difficult to use. It has issues with user friendliness. Now too, they are trying by I go around the Apple system and do updates from within the app. I’m wondering about the honesty of this company.

Post for iPad

I don’t understand why is it so hard to make Post compatible with iPad. Reading articles is very strainful for the eyes on the phone, I prefer to read on the iPad but alas, it only opens vertically to the size of a phone. Shame!

I love it

I love buying the article I want to read instead of slamming into a paywall or having to buy a subscription. The conversations are really valuable as well. I have learned a lot from the civil conversations. I find there are a lot of interesting topics — it actually goes well beyond news.

I open this app several times a day.

Thank you.

Needs work

It’s a cool idea that has been implemented sub par. The interface is clunky, the text far too large, and a little difficult to find the like and comment button if you don’t really know what you’re doing.. to start with the text, not everything has to be a head line. Not every headline has to have part of the article in it, especially with such large text. Including the image, The individual articles take up the whole screen. We should be able to see multiple articles in a single scroll. That, plus the “read for 3 points” separating the text and image makes it very confusing, felt like I was in another article entirely. As far as commenting, it’s kind of bizarre how when you tap to comment, there’s a whole section in between the article and the comment section that says “more from this news agency”…

Honestly the whole app seems a little thrown together. Maybe take a cue out of a social network’s playbook when it comes to design.

Kindness & Functionality

The people are actually NICE with each other - you can’t take that for granted nowadays, particularly not on social media! The App works very well and I love it.

Lost my account

Not exactly sure what happened but I was on waitlist, got all set up with handle, following etc. and I logged in tonight, it’s all gone yet my FULL name I never use is there no pics no post nothing? Head scratcher.

Like their URL, Post Is All About News

Post. has a a decent selection of news organization posting on it’s site. And most importantly, no right-wing trolls filling your feed with misinformation and race-baiting.

Utterly unusable

Terrible. Unable to create account. Unable to verify.

Tried creating new account. “Account already exists”. Try to to reset password. Failed. Try again.

Useless.

More than Politics here

Increasingly like the old fun Twitter! It’s a good time to join—this platform is so easy to use. I’m being patient while they continually add new features. The tone of this “place” overall is relaxed. I’m very happy to be there.

Try again. Buggy as can be.

Did they even test the app? Just trying to give a genuine try.

No longer works after 1.25.0 update

iPad mini 5. Does not work any more.
