Popup On Every Single Article
I like WT, but the popup on every article is infuriating. When you tap a story to read it, there’s a video popup at the bottom of the screen that shows up every single time. Who would design this? You can either scroll with the annoying video taking up a quarter of the screen or close it a thousand times. It makes the app nearly unusable.

Settings?
I get that it helps them increase income by doing push notifications. But to force me to decline EVERY TIME I open the app is frustrating. Deleted it.
Crashes daily
Everyday it crashes. I have to delete and download.
Nothing opens
I can click on the app, it looks normal, but not a single article opens. 3 days now, and my message to customer service has not been answered either
Don’t want notifications!
Almost the end of December and nothing has been fixed on the app. I will most definitely not be renewing my paid subscription goi g forward.
All of a sudden the app is asking me to go to settings and allow notifications. No! Do not want them. Fix it please !

App is only interested in spamming you.
If I wanted notifications on, I would turn them on. For crying out loud! Stop asking me to do so every day. Now I remember why I unsubscribed last time.
Poorly functional!
I just deleted this app due to obnoxious, impossible to hide, impossible to close video ads which obscure the news articles.
Developers, take this as a clue about why you’re losing customers.

Buggy
It worked great but over the past 2 weeks the screen turns red, causing a restart of the app. The cycle continues until I give up.
Content wise, it’s great.

Red screen of death!
20 seconds into reading an article and the red screen of death pops up. Waste of money!
Very annoying glitches
The app looks okay, but it has annoying glitches. It hits you with the same popup every time you change pages, and then it just suddenly crashes and goes blank. It’s unpredictable and a pain in the wazoo.
Frustrating Constant Crashes!!
I have a PAID subscription with The Washington Times and yet I can’t get through two articles before the app crashes! Yes, I have tried deleting and reinstalling the app, but the crashes continue.
DEVELOPER: I am using an UTD Apple iPhone 13. The crashes happen randomly but always while I’m in the middle of reading an article. Whatever page I’m on just suddenly turns all red and stays that way. There is nothing to click on and swiping right on the screen does nothing; I have to close out the app, reopen and then search for the article in order to finish reading it. Would you please fix this problem? It’s been going on ever since I first downloaded the app, well over a year ago; maybe two years ago by now.

Doesn’t work
Used to work, but doesn’t any more. Is anyone at Wash Times working on the app at all? Doesn’t look like it. I just get a huge red screen.
Poor UX
Frustrating to use on several levels. There is a persistent, useless pop up touting an uninteresting podcast that covers the bottom of the screen. Even when dismissed, it insists on coming back in a manner reminiscent of several memorable politicians from recent years. Second, the same story can appear multiple times as one scrolls through the site. I’ve known teen aged boys who exhibited better organizational skills than can be found here.

Crashes constantly
Good articles but very frustrating user experience because it crashes every few minutes.
App freezes with red screen over and over
Almost every time I open the app it freezes at the red window and doesn’t go any further. But then it will slip back into it too so there’s something wrong with the app the app needs to be tested better.
Hard to use
The app is terrible. Constantly opening up windows that you don’t want while you’re trying to read
Doesn’t work much
Great app when it works. Doesn’t work for very long though after loading. It then opens to a red screen and just sits there. After reloading, same cycle. I have tel on added it several times with same result. I have most current version. Since I’m a print subscriber, I am supposed to be able to read online with app — don’t bet on it. I have iPhone. The Washington Times NEEDS TO FIX THIS GARBAGE!

Five Stars For Content, 0 For The App
This is the worst app for the iPhone I’ve ever seen. The app fails to open most of the time and all one sees is a red screen. The app also crashes frequently. I do not encounter these problems with other newspaper apps. Please fix.
App fails to open most times!
Here I am a subscriber and pay for this newspaper, yet most of the time I try to open the app it’s just a solid red screen. My other complaint is just the unbelievable amount of advertising they do even for paid subscribers. Well, I like the content, but it comes at a big price. I wish they could just fix the app so it open and I could see the content half the time. Oh well.

Paid subscriber. Last year.
I’ve been a subscriber for many years. But they try to trick people into subscribing before your year has ended. I still have months I login successfully again and again, and it keeps trying to sell me another subscription A big red screen prevents me from reading anything. And they still haven’t fixed Facebook articles opening in the app. I’m tired of waiting. This is my final year. As I get older, it’s harder and harder to log in again and again.
