The app is mostly fine but has one but that is just unacceptable: I get the briefing email (The 7). Sometimes clicking the links attempts to launch the Samsung Internet Browser instead of the system default one (Brave). It used to try to launch Chrome belt I uninstalled it. It seems that they are trying to actively avoid using Brave, which again, is the system default. Totally unacceptable.

We’re sorry for the frustration. The behavior you’re describing may be related to how links from The 7 are being handled on your Samsung device. Please email [email protected] with your device model, Android version, and a screenshot if possible. We’d be happy to investigate further.

I have been subscriber for decades. This app has gone through many updates. It is now very robust with many useful features. I can confidently give it 5 stars. And despite some poor decisions by management, I still believe in those who remain at the Post. With their continuing excellent, unbiased WaPo reporting, it remains one of my top go-to news sources.

Over the past few weeks, every time I hit the back button after reading an article, I am taken to the beginning of the day's news feed, then I have to scroll through to find my place. Why has this begun happening? Very annoying. 8/11/26 - Its happening again. I unistalled, reinstalled to no avail
