Display is terrible. It doesn't adjust to screen size properly. They display as a little column of words down the middle, with both left and right margins far wider than the column of words. Such a waste of space, and the need to scroll. ALL the dozen or so other news apps I have, along with the main screen of this one display properly. Downgraded to one star because issue wasn't resolved and case closed. So what if my phone doesn't receive Android updates? It still gets daily app updates.

Thanks for your feedback—we’re glad you’re enjoying the articles. The centered column layout is designed for readability and may appear with wider margins on some devices, especially dual-screen devices like Surface Duo 2, which is no longer receiving software updates. We’ll share your feedback with our team.

7.3 noBETA. it is worse now with the new update. happens more often.I listen to the news every morning while walking.It used to work perfectly until Sept. I have put in multiple complaints on app help page & nothing has improved since. repeatedly force stop and clear cache multiple times a day because it just freezes. New:Josh AI voice is awful. I cringe. like having someone read news as it is a children's book with emphasis. I update, uninstall & reinstall etc.help from wash post email useless

The journalism is exceptional. if only one did not have to listen to opinion pieces to be able to listen to fact based reporting. I like having the ability to listen to the first story snd continue on to other stories for which I'd rate a 5, but the editorials don't even deserve a 1. I wi1sh I could turn them off.
