### 1/5 — Canceling

*2026-03-05, version 6.4*

Love WAEX articles.  Usually well written and on meaningful topics.  A refreshing change from the MSM that gaslights the public into oblivion.  But sadly the app is horrendously non-user friendly.  Signing in alone is a chore that often closes the app before I can start using it.  I’d rather just pay more for the printed copy of the current issue.  I’m canceling.

### 1/5 — Fix it

*2026-01-15, version 6.4*

How hard can it be to write a news app. I am sure an ai can build an app in seconds and it is ten times better than the current app. Get it together and fix it so I can enjoy your content please.

### 3/5 — Content great - app bad

*2025-12-03, version 6.4*

It is hard to use this app to get at the great. Washington Examiner content because this app is so ‘flakey’.

### 1/5 — Get a better app

*2025-08-19, version 6.4*

Find better nerds

### 1/5 — App is costing you readers

*2025-02-27, version 6.4*

I’m newly intrigued by your publication but, alas, your Iphone app doesn’t really work. I won’t waste my time describing the crashing and other problems which your devoted readers already outline. I’ll just add a heads up that you lost this potential new reader.  I’ll check back in a couple months to see if you fixed it.  Guys, just hire a decent app developer to code you a new app asap. It’s your most important budget item for this quarter if you want readers under retirement age

### 1/5 — Teenage programmers are at it again

*2024-12-08, version 6.4*

The moron app programmers are AGAIN today. allowing ads to block the ability to watch videos article. Can’t get past the WIX ad for the past 5 minutes. I will NEVER purchase from WIX because the they prevent me from watching a news video.

### 2/5 — I had to delete the app

*2024-09-11, version 6.4*

The ads were so intrusive and irrelevant to me that I decided to delete the app. Ads could not be closed so I couldn’t read the content. I enjoyed the Examiner when I got hard copies in the DC metro area but this digital version is not worth the frustration.

### 1/5 — Can’t get by pop up ads

*2024-07-09, version 6.4*

When on this site, sometimes I can’t even get to the articles. instead, I get one ad after the other. When I attempt to X out the ad it will only expand. This app is the absolute worst for that.

### 1/5 — Worthless App

*2024-07-08, version 6.4*

When I try and open an article I always get sent to an advertisement and can’t navigate to the news article. The app is a wast of space.

### 1/5 — App written by a fifth grader.

*2024-06-15, version 6.4*

This app is awful.  Really tough to read the news when you are bombarded by ads, pop ups and frozen content.
