Introducing The Washington Post app for iPad . When it comes to immersing yourself in a news story, look no further than the source you trust: The Washington Post. Experience our award-winning journalism on a wide ...
Way too many ads for a 15 per month subscription Im canceling today     Too many ads
Its late Sundayalmost Monday Im tired of reading about Fridays Nats game Pretty sure theyve played once or twice since then     Horrible updating
I like the app and read the paper on iPad most of the time even though we get a paper copy delivered The major problem is that the data does not erase when a new edition becomes available and using the clear data function in the app settings menu DOES NOT clear the data The app used almost 17 gig of my iPads 32 gig until I discovered this issue I have to delete the app and reinstall in order to clear the data        Past Data Stays
I dont like having to pay 99 per year and still have about 6 of my small screen hijacked by Google adds Since its paid silly me will have to deal with the aggravation        116 add
Better than it was it still has too many ads Also it is too easy to inadvertently touch a hot link when trying to move between stories No crossword puzzle Inexplicably uses a lot of memory        Works but needs work Come on Bezos
Now they charge for it and have more ads Pop ups cover the headlines The ads are distracting while you read since they have flashing and movement We shouldnt have to pay 15month to read more ads     Ads with constant movement
Well it WAS wonderful till this last update now it simply wont open Thankfully I still get the print edition delivered to my house every day     Stepping backward
I rarely watch the videos because it usually takes 2 or 3 attempts before the video will play The ads before the videos play perfectly however every time So for every video I watch I have to be prepared to spend 20 seconds watching the same ad several times over        Videos Buggy
I continue to use this since app since I need the news but this it is poorly designed and even the updates dont fix problems that should be simple It is still bandwidth intensive but at least it updates the news in series rather than parallel Making it possible to see the sequential updates The advertising continues to be very poorly managed You see the same ads over and over again but when you swipe to get to the story it skips the story and goes to the next ad The touch control is also horrendous The ad at the bottom of each page if accidentally touched takes you to Safari and then wont let you return to the page you were reading Also if you touch anywhere that the app doesnt like I havent really figured out where those spots are since it seems to change the app jumps to the last or next story or more appropriately the ads and then as you go back it takes you to the top of the story you were reading They keep trying but just havent figured this out           Still a poor work in progress
Ads on the page are bad enough Ads with sound Completely obnoxious WP Not for paid subscribers     ads with sound
The Post app on iPad is one of the worst readers Ive used Its jumpy freezes and crashes often Beyond that 1 The navigation system is not user friendly with the mix of vertical and horizontal scrolling Also I often have news feeds open on my browser see articles from the Post I want to read and then open my app and they are more than half the time very difficult to find The web version is laid out so well Why is the app so bad 2 One of the most common features I want to read is the weather but the icon on the app only pulls up the summary graphic The articles are not found in the local section nor anywhere else obvious Why hide these articles 3 I pay 1499month for the app so why am I still seeing gd popup ads Which are mostly for google and impossible to remove from the screen Seriously Post you can do better If the app just opened to the web version that would actually be awesome I wish you had a techsavvy person in a senior position there oh wait     Needs a major overhaul
After weeks communicating with the support people I am still unable to download the print version As of last night and this morning I can also not see the online content oops     Bezos should be ashamed
Wish to take it off my iPad     Off
The Washington Post for iPad has been a boon to us as we travel and cannot get newspaper delivery I used to love doing the crossword puzzle that is until the digital edition decided to make it better at the beginning of 2015 The replacement crashed the app for the first few months then when it did work after forcing you to watch an ad for 15 seconds no longer worked with the bluetooth keyboard and was clunky now it crashes the app again both in the prior update and this one I have communicated with the tech team directly but I just give upno crossword puzzle fun anymore Shame on you WPost for 15 a month I should get more Do you pay someone for this development work        How to make the app worse
I read the IPad Post daily and about to stop I can read the NY Times in the time it takes this dog of an app to load This upgrade is terrible in every respect including its full of bugs you can click on an article on it keeps trying to give you a different article from the prior day If you havent upgraded DONt I just read the NY Times now     Maybe the worst ever
This is the worst of a series of horrendous app upgrades This version renders the Washington Post basically unreadable Thats obviously very bad for a newspaper and totally mystifying for one owned by a tech mogul     Incredibly awful
Slow Unresponsive     Awful
Do not subscribe This app crashes every time I use it It freezes Stories dont open It takes minutes for the thing to load I never have any of these problems with the NYT app This app is a total and utter disgrace and the people in charge of it should not just be fired but banned from tech jobs altogether How can one of the nations top newspapers tolerate such a disgrace This has been going on for months This level of incompetence boggles the mind Folks if this newspaper cannot find people to make an app that works how can you trust its reporting of the news This app is evidence of rotdeep pervasive rotat the Washington Post     Worst app ever
I get that the Post needs to generate revenue and that the banner ads may even be partially subsidizing the relatively low subscription cost but banners with animations are extremely distracting and annoying Even the static banners look jarringly out of place with the nicely designed user interface of the app and cheapens its overall look The Post is a venerable newspaper and deserves better If you absolutely must sell banner ads in the prime real estate of the main screen please lose the animations           Good Content Irritating Banner Ads
Todays iPad fix is an utter failure Not only doesnt it update it crashes every time I open it I dont know what you paid the techie who did the so called fix but get your money back And fix the bloody app Please     Failure
Once downloaded opening the print edition causes the frames to load disappear reload multiple times Wish I could go back to a prior version No advantage to the latest version     Spring 2015 update
Had loading problems Paying too much for hassles        Content fine too many bugs
Seems almost purposely designed to detect clicks on ads when none is intended And Im a paid subscriber I have yet to discover how to hold the iPad without being interrupted by unwanted unintended ad views     An adtrap
This Washington Post iPad app does not work It is such a waste of time m so embracing for an institution trying to find any reason to continue to exist Youre better off subscribing any number of other news outlets why are they silly as to blow such an obvious opportunity     washPost
It is much worse on the iPad than on the iPhone but it is painfully slow Ridiculous that you have to download an entire issue each day instead of constant updating as the NYTimes does Also you have to tap a few times just to get an individual page to show Finally there is too much news about fellow journalists Who cares about them Pitiful that they are considered interesting They are only interesting to each other in the gossipy Washington Post     This is the slowest news app in have
Incredibly slow updating WaPo needs to do some major work on this ap        Slow Slow Slow
I get the Post and I can just abide the ads but I am getting close to canceling because of all the mistakes Ye godz hire a literate intern to scan before you publish Really no excuse Lowers my rating           Too many booboos
Quality content overwhelmed by poor app layout no last updated time ads take up too much screen space swipe for next story in middle of article is distracting Still a very buggy app Print version okay     Worst news app ever
Does not work Support is horribleDo not buy this app Waste of money from what once was a great newspaper NY Times works well     Really Bad
Very disappointing I was expecting so much more Ads are too intrusive for a paid subscription Just purchased a yearlong subscription for 69 will probably stick with browser version     Wow What a Bummer
I have a digital subscription to the WP but every time I click on an article to read it on my iPad I get a window telling me that I have used up my 5 free articles for the month and telling me to subscribe to read more I am logged in properly And I AM a subscriber and I do not want a print subscription It seems like the left hand doesnt know what the right hand is doing The WP should fix this right away     Digital Subscription problem
Post should be ashamed Crashes more often than not Easier to open paper through safari on my iPad Can learn a lot from NYT which never crashes     App is Crap
Now that the iPhone screens are bigger having the print edition on them makes so much more sense Put the iPhone version in the newsstand too it makes zero sense to have the same newspaper in two completely different places on my iOS devices              Bring this version to the iPhone
after tapping a headline there is no indication anything is happening so you dont know if you should tap again or just stare at the screen and wait considering theres new news every day in the print version 13 of the stories in the app are 24 days old despite not downloading the print version saving articles or saving columns for myPost access the app still balloons to over 25 gigs in size I have to delete the app every few months Deleting data doesnt always work comics section is very nice although if you DO save your fave comics you cant just scroll through them        Should be so much better
It is now Monday afternoon I have applied the latest patch and the home screen is still displaying the same content as on Saturday morning Was better before they tried to fix it Simply will not update any of the content     App has deteriorated
This app has always been buggy but I just downloaded the latest update and its now a complete mess Freezes crashes freezes the iPad etc I mean come on     Bad update
One look at this behemoth tells you that there are too many very large graphics on the startup page It causes severe performance issues reduce the size of the graphics to thumbnails andor load only text on startup     Get a high school kid to rebuild the app
I am very disappointed in the iPhone app There are two methods to read news the print edition and the app The print edition allows you to see the newspaper but you cannot zero in on any article you have to enlarge the print and move around the see the page Page swiping to next page is difficult at best The app is easier to navigate but the articles are often stale and do not reflect what is in the print edition     Washington Post App
This is a constantly crashing app Every day the same problems Slow to load unstable crashes Fed up     Constant hassle Cancel my subscription at the end of the month
I rarely review apps but WaPo just keeps getting worse so I felt compelled Maybe someone in the tech dept should take a look at the NYT which just keeps getting better Everything from the Google ads at the bottom to the use of an entire screen for just one article and not even the headline article at that It looks more like grocery store checkout yellow journalism that the trusted paper I used to love Not even getting it free with my local paper makes it worthwhile Too bad really     Another useless update
The app crashes when loading a page with video links           Still buggy
Its 900 am Sunday and now after downloading the latest crash fix on Saturday the print edition download says todays paper is unavailable WAPO you can do better     Buggy Bug Fix
The app is so bad that the only logical reason is that Bezos is closing the Post and the App is run by summer interns     The WPost closing
Even after downloading the latest update Im still seeing top news from last Tuesday its now Monday morning This is definitely one of the worst apps Ive ever used and Im really regretting subscribing Please poach some developers from The New York Times who can write you an app that consistently delivers     Very disappointed
The app loads OK and shows the news content but it does not include reader comments which are very much a part of online news and especially opinion and advice columns Read Hax but not the Haxphiles commentary Why would I And I have a paid allaccess subscription     Limits WaPo content
App simply does not work     Ridiculous Useless
To offer some history I was a subscriber to the app edition but canceled because the advertising was animated and annoying as heck I couldnt deal with moving ads on the bottom of every article I read so I canceled my subscription Last night I was managing my iPads memory and noticed the Washington Post app consumes 59GB I was shocked The NY Times app only consumes 105MB What on earth is the WP storing on my iPad I tried to use the delete app data using the button in the apps settings but it wouldnt work It worked all night and nothing got deleted according to the iPads Settings Usage I was forced to delete the app to reclaim the memory I wasnt using the app as a subscriber but it was nice to scan the headlines to get a more right view of the world as compared to the Times July 2015 I replied to an email offer for one year of digital access for 40 on an all new Washington Post App Sounded fair and maybe Id give the WP an second chance Well it was a trick it was 40 for five articles I have to pay more to get Washington DC news too if I want to use the app Screw that I live in NY and dont need to read the local DC news The annoying moving ads still exist on every page and thats enough to drive me away again I just sent them an email demanding my money back Lets see what happens     Memory Hog
This is the only news app I currently have on an IPad as they use so much memory However I will probably get rid of it also as I have to go to a browser in order to hear sound on any of the videos that accompany articles     Cant hear anything on news videos
Why annoying ads if I have a subscription Did not seem right and will cancel after my current term ends        Why annoying ads if I have a subscription
Slowest to open and most frequent crasher of any app I have downloaded I love being able to access Washington Post online but do not understand why their app is the worst of any major newspaper It has gotten worse since Jeff Bezos bought the Post exactly the opposite of what I expected would happen It appears the online ads that run at the bottom of stories or pop up alongside articles often opening in the middle of articles and then precipitating a crash of the app may be the cause of the long load time 34 minutes and frequent crashing     Ridiculously Slow App
