Stable and easy to use

Very good app. I use it every day in both digital and print edition mode. Stable, fast, good graphics.

True news

I trust WAPO and NYT reporting.

Carl Bentzel, subscriber

Cuts to staff writers have decimated the quality of this paper from premier to merely average. The sports section covering local supports has been reduced to a bear minimum, and the paper is now replete with AP coverage— it’s crazy how little local content remains. The owner should be fired.

Wash Post review

I subscribe to the Washington Post and The New York Times (both liberal rags by the way), but I’d like to give Kudos to the Post. I’ve had both subscriptions for over 4 years, and for the entire time the Post has charged me $4/month, let’s me read every article and play all of their online games. Meanwhile, the NYT starts out charging $4/month for the first 6 months, raises it to $8 then quietly increases it until I was paying $25/MONTH! This is for the digital only subscription. I can only play certain games and can only read specific articles. What is wrong with this picture?

Great

Great reporting, too bad they lost perspective in editorials

I don’t understand why the Post now supports trumpish platforms. Oh yeah, check the ownership.

Canceling subscription after many loyal years.

Sad….

Shadow of the former publication.

Astute Analysis of Scientific Issues

I like fact that Washington Post interviews scientific experts and quotes published works to back up analysis of current issues ranging from AI to proper skin care (don’t take too many hot showers).

I love reading the WP

The print edition is great. You avoid all the annoying ads

Love the Seven

Love the concise and factual reporting.

reading online

video ads are very disruptive and interfere with reading news.

Review

I only keep my subscription because I like the cooking section and investigative journalism. Otherwise it’s gone downhill. Too many shallow articles about style, popular culture, etc. I miss the excitement opinion writers like Petri, Milbank,and others. The Post has lost so many top notch journalists in an effort to placate Trump and his supporters. Very sad,

Subscription communication

Terrible response service time

Great news coverage; don’t trust editorials

WaPo’s news coverage is still great, though it is suffering from the layoffs of so many staffers. I no longer trust the independence of its editorial board. “Democracy Dies When Craven Billionaires Control the Media.” You could’ve been a hero, Bezos.

The 7

The Seven has just the right amount of news. It keeps me informed on hot button issues. It also test my mind skills with the all the word games and quizzes. Love it

Ads are far to disruptive

I am a paid subscriber and have to look at ad after ad which disrupts my enjoyment of the articles . Please devise how to deal with this

Intrusive pop ups

Try to read a story and pop up story suggestions interfere

Xcellent writing—to the point w/o xtra useless words! Great Editing

Excellent editing!! All articles I’ve read were well researched, not just copied from elsewhere. All the important facts are simply and understandably laid out for you.
It is nice to be able to get a good understanding of the major news of the day. It leaves more time to read less intense and more personally interesting.

Fact based, honest

WaPo is my first source of truth because I know they fact check. Thanks for being reasonable in an reliable time

fascist owned oligarch rag

the once lauded might wapo has crumbled under jeff bezos intentional dismantling of katherine grahams once stellar journalistic institution. it’s sad to see. but other papers and outlets are stepping in. while there are a few good reporters left here it won’t be long until the wapo has as much credibility as murdoch owned new york post. sayonara
