Thoughtful news coverage

The Washington Post writers consistently impress me with their work to bring the full story to the masses.

Enjoy Headlines!

Keeps me abreast of day’s highlights~

10/13/26 - Great !; 3/11/26 Super duper now; Getting better

10/13/26: Getting better and better; You have to continue to pin point our demographic.
3/11/26. 5/5; Amazing change for the better. I am Indian-American. Your (and all the American British European media) articles on India and Indians here, in America, are pathetic, very old (as in age) white (man) centered, old media person biased. Grow up. Go to India. Don’t keep comparing to China or any other country. Don’t keep writing about terrible potholes and negative this and negative that !

Wanted to give 3 1/2 not 4.

Subscription is a good thing. I saw other comments complaining. What ?
People write stories and people work as journalists and people create this newspaper. And, people work in other newspapers !

1/27/16 : Getting better !
2/5/16 : Much better ! Need more in-depth for Business/economic/International news.
6/14/16 : Getting your adult teeth !
Good website, good navigation; good overall; 4.5
5/4/2017: wonderful upscale change !
5 / 5 !

8/18/2018 : Great !
10/22/18 :

Your digital Wash Post has regressed !
Terrible !
I can’t even use it properly !
2 / 10 for now.

3/10/25:
Awesome digital newspaper !
I don’t agree with some of your political leanings, being an independent, but cannot fault your total paper.
Oh yeah, when I am in the comments box, I cannot seem to go out and view the content or author of that article I am making comments on. See if you can fix that.

Total BS that Gift Articles now require a recipient to create an account?!?

I would have happily given 5 stars, but I just shared a gift link and clicked on it to see what it was like- and to my surprise my “gift” could only be redeemed if the recipient provided an email address and opened an account with WaPo. Not cool!!

Prompts user to update iOS

The app and publication are good. But the app pesters the user to update iOS. I am running a supported version 18.7.8 and have no need to update. I am considering cancelling my subscription if this isn’t corrected.
