Washington Post - Latest Quality Issues

iOS

Forced to watch advertisements?

I pay good money for a subscription to the Washington Post and yet they expect me to sit and watch one of their video advertisements for this or that product? Are they freaking kidding? They don't have respect for their subscribers.

I find the functionality of managing subscription to be very poor. To complain about an undelivered paper us about 8 clicks in, under settings. Same for vacation settings. Neither are easy to find.

iPad UX is gross

Why does the UX on iPad look so bad? Huge left/right padding around the content on the Home Screen. Ugly compared to the New York Times iPad app. The design just does not feel sleek and I really don't look forward to opening it. The content is all out of scale, it sort of feels like the iPhone app has just been magnified to fit the iPad. It really needs to be optimized for the iPad screen real estate.

No longer my #1 newspaper

I've read the WP since I could read, and trusted they had an independent editorial staff and the most excellent reporting. I'm very disappointed the owner has muzzled his staff and is destroying their credibility as independent journalists.

Worse by the day

I've read WAPO all my adult life (I'm mid-60s) and had been a staunch supporter even after moving out of the area thru my online subscription. It's capitulation to not endorsing a candidate in the last election, subsequent resignations, and choices on the customer comments sections are disappointing and poorly conceived. Additionally, the sports coverage has not been good, in fact, it's bad. Columnists like Jenkins & Blackistone are excellent, best in class, with Bruckner mostly good, but the rest not good to lazy. The beat coverage is woefully inadequate and not even worth the read for its lack of volume. How hard to post a daily column on the NATS while in Spring Training? There's a game or two almost daily and 60 players in camp?? The sports section is getting really close to just being a wire service level sports section. Do not take my subscription for granted. I'll cut dead weight loose.

I second the motion to turn off the irritating popups!

Pop ups are annoying. The top navigation bar takes up too much space. Go back to small bottom icons!!!!

For You popups

With the latest version of the app comes an annoying popup called “for you.” You can click on 3 dots to suspend it for 30 days. I can pick my own articles.
