The Washington Post app has gotten much less user friendly lately. The new comments format is a complete disaster with the removal of the like button, addition of confusing "provocative", "thoughtful", etc buttons, no way to get back to the article when reading your comments and replies. it is also difficult to navigate to a particular section of the paper like Advice to read articles.

App opens with Top Stories (I can't say I don't want this). Half(!!!) of the screen is used for those four little "cards" that are useless.Today three (yes three) of them link to games that I can easily find via the games menu at the bottom of the screen. The most annoying, though, is when I get "continue reading" hints. I am well aware of what I've been reading and don't always want to read a whole article that has already repeated itself ad infinitum. I'm about done w/ WaPo altogether.

This is by far the best News app (not news aggregator) that I've used. Easy and intuitive navigation for both standard articles and the "print replica". It remembers articles I started to read, highlights opinion writers I often read, and has a cool AI that summarizes the comment threads. My only complaint is the ads. This is 2025, not 1980: Ads should not exist for paid subscribers. 5/20 update: Problem with crashing whenever I open an article (started 5/19) has been fixed. Thanks!
