The ads in the WaPo games section are excessive. If you hit "skip" after 30 seconds, the info icon for the ad's sponsor (in the form of a question mark) is hidden under Skip, so you are taken to the company's website. If you go back, as your reward, you are forced to watch the ad AGAIN. If you are interrupted during your game, still with the app open, when you go back, you get to watch another ad (a full 60 seconds when you don't hit SKIP). And it's all Exxon ads....

Crashes chrome devices. I have contacted app support many times over 3 years, yet no solutions. I have to remove the app and restart device just to get my device to work again. Not happy paying for a subscription that I can not use. Washington Post app support just says to contact they, which I have done many times about this issue for 3 years, yet still doesn't work. All other apps work on that device. Only Washington Post does not,.

I found it to be a very good experience, all-in-all. It seems well-made. I renewed my paid subscription. Still, I noted that I agreed with some of the criticisms in other reviews. Users should have control of over whether stories autoplay, and search functions should be excellent. It does have a free trial. I simply mark the end of any free trials in my calendar on my phone so that my phone warns me for several days that it's ending. That way I don't get an unexpected bill.
