Professional Insights for Professionals
WOTR provides authoritative information and analysis that you simply can’t find anywhere else. I’m a national security professional and WOTR is one of my most important go-to sources of solid information and insightful analysis.
Needs Work
Love WOTR, but the app needs work. The font is too small and cannot be adjusted. It also is very hard to search the archive.
2yrs on, no visible improvement
In these reviews the savvy reader will see that there are the high star reviews which praise the content and the low star reviews that critically analyze the app that is the delivery mechanism for the content.
The app still has vast room for improvement despite having had years in which to make the simplest of updates. The best example is that still there is no dark mode, so if you open the app after sunset you will wreck your night vision. This is a small change that could make a big improvement.
The tech entrepreneur behind the company needs somebody who will speak truth to power.

Fantastic content. Terrible app.
Made worse by the fact that my Russia Contingency subscription through Apple Podcasts is always glitching, forcing me to listen on this app.
Excellent Coverage, Miserable App
War on the Rocks continues to provide excellent coverage and analysis of global affairs. However, this app is a miserable experience. As others have noted, the app is really just a portal to hyper-linked articles. Articles don’t stay open when you switch apps or temporarily put down your phone. It’s impossible to start an article, turn to another task, and return to where you were reading. Until this app is re-engineered to function like an actual news app (of which there are many great examples) I’d forgo downloading it and stick to the website.
