Washington Post Select Customer Insights

1. I searched the same queries in the Washington Post Classic app and was able to find the exact articles and writers I searched.I love the newspaper and your app! It is excellent! Having said that, I would like to know why, when I accidentally long press while scrolling and select a word, it gets auto-copied to the clipboard.

2. Things can be relatively easily located, clicking on the story you want on a tablet that shows two articles next to each other, for example, brings to a larger print version of that article.

3. When I search for specific headlines or writers, the results only sometimes show the article or writer I searched for--usually the results are a random set of articles and it's unclear how they're related to my query.

4. It returns results in a seemingly random order, rather than chronological or by closest match, and in the list of results, the date that shows up next to the article title is different from the date that shows up when I click on the article to read it.

5. The layout and links within the articles allow the reader to find the article that interests them and to read more about a subject by using the links.

6. I love the content and layout, my complaint is that when reading an article, if you dont scroll up/down absolutely perfectly, it swipes to the side to a different article.

7. The CONTENT is fantastic! This app, and the WaPost "classic" app, both have an annoying issue: when reading a story, as I scroll down to read more, oftentimes the page will go sideways to the next story.

8. The layout can vary more than one might expect though, between mobile and tablet, for example.There is no easy way to see a compact list of stories similar to scanning headlines in a physical paper or the old webpage view.

9. Often, when I scroll down as I'm reading an article, the page slips sideways and the article is hidden on the left.

10. it is frustrating that I can save articles if I open via the app, but if I navigate to the article from an email ad, I can't.

11. I really can't think of a time when I would think, "I've read half of this story, but let me see what the next story is." Unnecessary and annoying feature.It's one of the better newspaper apps I've used.
