The app content is garbage. "alleged gunman?" He is a man, and he had guns. What is alleged about that?

Newest update 4/17/26: Messed up comment section. Does not show all of comment, cuts off "comment" to click for posting. Just buggy. But I still love WaPo despite...

I love reading the Post. I feel like I'm home. I don't like that your Amazon owner got rid of a lot of your wonderful staff

I'm not sure if this is an app or a server side change, but comments are screwed up. A giant step backwards. Fix the comments ASAP

Once upon a time, I'd have given this app 4.5 stars, but everything has gone off the rails since February 2026. I'd complain inside the app, but it simply won't stay open; it fails within seconds of opening, if it opens at all. Android's error message said the app is incompatible with an Android program, but I don't remember what it said. Besides, I've got a Galaxy S25 Ultra that's 100% updated, so I assess that it's 100% WaPo's problem to figure out what's wrong with their app.
