Best news app I've seen, and I've tried them all. Speedy and good navigation.

Initially there was some misunderstanding about this app, which has been cleared. ...

Initially there was some misunderstanding about this app, which has been cleared. Works well and has fine aesthetics too.

Great app, works on my Atrix 4G

Really wish the widget was more customizable, including size, number of items to display, and update frequency. Packs a lot of info in such a small app.

Took way too long to develop

Kind of a demographic thing, isn't it? Apple is the domain of "progressives" like the Washington Post, so naturally they were in no rush to develop the Android app for several years despite the latter's industry dominance.

Hmm..

Very nice. But stories are showing up 3 times in list view and when swiping from story to story. Loading also takes forever. And that's when connected to my home's wifi. Other than that, GREAT START!

Wish I could see comments section

App has dated stories and more difficult to navigate than mobile web page. Also slower to open and load. Bookmark wp and make a shortcut.

Excellent

Why so many "some items cannot be displayed"? Modern smartphones can view images. Mobile is still a second class citizen on your site.

About time!
