Washington Post

It used to be a really good newspaper. But then Bezos started to Wield His power. My subscription ends in September and will not be continued

I appreciate the scale and scope of your reporting, the background stories and your willingness to stay the course with honesty and clarity. In a world of increasingly chaotic events it must be difficult but thank you.

WP content is influenced by Bezos, and is thus no longer independently reported/researched. I’m out.

WP is owned by Bezos, and is thus no longer independent source. Simply unacceptable for a high-quality newspaper.

I am presented with a cookie notice every time I open the app. Every time I choose “decline all”. And every time i am again asked about cookies. Unfortunate that WP can’t get this right.

First of all I’m terribly fond of your newspaper & spent everyday reading it! The lengthy in depth analysis gives the reader a thorough insight in the subject of the articles.
But (in my view): the often lengthy and very detailed articles forces the reader to read it all in order to get a complete picture. This is very time consuming and therefore a disadvantage. I would very much like an article to get preseded by a kind of ‘management’- summary wherin all important aspects of the articles are mentioned whereby the reader can discriminate if he is interested in all underlying details.

Ridiculous that the largest setting for type gets you up to about 9-10 point size.

Good articles but design could improve. What they definitely need to work on is the search function. This basically doesn’t allow you to find anything. For instance, I want to open an article I am reading in the app instead of the iPhone browser, but it is impossible to find in the app. Even when copy pasting the article title 1-1 you can’t find it, neither through a few words or searching the author. Quite (very) frustrating.

I like it.
What could be better is the way of finding back your comments (and potential reply’s). That’s pretty cumbersome.
Another thing that I miss is “subscribe” to a news story, so future updates you will be notified (on the same subject).
Other then that, kudos to the WP.

Please update the app so that you don’t get any advertisements when you are a subscriber. I just subscribed to the Post but when I read an article now I get advertisements (sometimes for newsletters from the post but even those are annoying).
But the journalism is great!

I like the app in general, but why are there still huge spacers between sections even when there are no ads?

For me in the Netherlands this is the perfect medium to stay informed on the news in the USA! As far as I can judge with a broad and not coloured spectrum! Kees

Nuanced, intelligent, valuable input and analysis, well written... a masterly balance of reporting, research and analysis!

Just got a Subscription a few days ago. Good investigative journalism. Solid news.
I love it!

Already an overseas digital subscriber to N.York Times I found the Washington Post as another trustworthy beacon. I believe in freedom of press and the merits of investigative journalism. Becoming a paying reader, helps to support critical minds of WP and NYT editors and contributors as printed versions are on the decline. In times of darkening skies for those seeking the truth and independent journalism under pressure worldwide, every digital subscription helps.
Today’s on-line reading feels like my parents secretly listening to BBC news, radio hidden between floor boards, during World War II Nazi occupation. The free press exists thanks to all paying readers, hungry for dry, untainted news.
Few other media master the art and skill to timely document historical developments without bias as does the Washington Post.

Outstanding coverage of the issues I find important. And I love that you dare to shed light on what really matters

As a reader from Europe I enjoy paying a reltively small yearly sum to read most of the content of the WP.
It is my favorite USA newspaper, slghtly better then the NYTimes. Quality articles, very readable and clear. Columnists and editorials of class guide me through the mist of desinformation from elsewhere.
Chapeaux!

I have a digital subscription and suddenly there are ads! I DO NOT WANT TO SEE THEM!
