Thumbnails are slow to load (on TV).
One of the shittest app, I have ever used.
Yet i donot use it so much after some time ill use it again.
works great fantastic reporting dump the Trump
Washington is Independent World News
DEVELOPERS: The last time you updated the app was like 5 years ago (2016), come on. I still believe in Santa. And i also believe that one day you will care about this app. Please, give the app some love. I got my fingers crossed. 🤞
Works great on my Nvidia Shield TV. Smooth playback without ads. Wish is had more video content.
I love the washington post my favorite!
Will not play videos on Nvidia Shield Tv.
This was a great app and worked beautifully until I tested it on a Shield TV running Android 6.0. Unfortunately there's no sound when videos play anymore. Hopefully this gets fixed in an update.
The app needs more tuning. It stops playing even though the phone is connected to a wifi. It happens regularly. I have used 2 different wifis with 3 diffrent devices. 11/24/15 update: it's getting better!! Thx alot
What happened to Chromecast continuous streaming? It used to play all suggested videos from just selecting the top one. Also Chromecast only works if I connect it while playing a video. If I connect before that i get an error. Update, Chromecast even worse than before, cannot stream at all anymore, lg g2
News content is great! But, streaming with chromecast is pretty bad. As someone mentioned earlier, automatic playing of videos when selecting the first video doesn't work consistently.
Great for keeping up on news on android tv but it crashes sometimes on nexus player. If this isn't eventually fixed I will lower my rating and uninstall it.
Can't share videos what's up with that.
This app has been greatly improved. Only thing that I would like to see in the future is a landscape home screen for tablets.
Chromecast support is terrible, the streams are slow(works fine on other streaming apps). After video playback the screen goes black and you have to exit and restart to fix it. Also if you forgot to press the chromecast stream button you have to press a button to change to portrait mode and then you can press the chromecast button. This makes for a clunky user interface and just plain bad design. This is all too bad because the content has been good so far.
Good app. Good content. Plays fine on Chromecast. Needs autoplay (auto advancing to the next video) and a non-static standby screen to prevent screen burn-in.
I haven't opened this app for a month and for my surprise it was dragging my wireless data, 2.5 GB in one month without watching anything. If you see the graph usage it show something is constantly using the data.
Much better now. Casts to chromecast and no ad issue now. It needs to cast video continuously to chromecast now. Back in June 2014 I posted.. It automatically plays an ad and then starts playing a video. No menu and no option to cast to chromecast
Installed this a few months ago because of the Chromecast support. I haven't opened the app up in the last month but it managed to use up 18gigs of background data in the past 28 days! I'll have to uninstall this....
There's an option to only download on WiFi, yet this app used over a gig in background data before I caught it and throttled it with the phone settings. What's up with that? That's money out of my pocket.
Please set to play the next story automatically when casting
For some reason it uses a TON of data when it's not open. This is the only news video app for Chromecast, so you're pretty much stuck with it. I decided I can't handle it anymore and deleted it. It's constantly disconnecting, crashing, dual playing on my phone and tv, and the news stories aren't even very good quality when they do play.
but your brand isn't such that you can just call it "Post" and expect people to have any idea of its association. Yes, i refer to the publication as _The Post,_ but it just doesn't translate here, as it is. I guess you'll have to compensate using precious ad space directing people to the app. And that icon.. So, what's the significance of that graphic to _The Washington Post,_ again? Sorry to bash you guys, but i just don't get it. Okay, rant fin (tldr?)
Video quality is very low. Not sure why. It's a video based app. Also, app should allow you to play on a continuous flow. Has potential because it has good stories.
A deeper archive of stories would be great. Glad I can Chromecast the segments now.
Love the app itself but even when I don't open it all day, it still uses 10% of my battery.
Update: still plays both on chromecast and the phone, plays on chromecast and says impossible to connect to the chromecast (while still playing), impossible to stop (launch another chromecast app) and so on... /// But really needs a lot of work :disconnects from the chromecast, network errors, plays on both the Android and the TV,...
This app is a fantastic addition to the other Washington Post apps. I appreciate the quality of the content. My only suggestion would be to pipe the live video streams that are on the website from time to time into it.
