POLITICO App Reviews

Update broken for me to. Has been for several days. Why don't they fix it?

Great content, does not update on phone, just removed it.

It's just broken on updates. I have given up on politico app after a number of reinstalls.

A1 app

Very good reporting and presentation, WELL DONE!

Fast, intuitive interface

Like the app. Runs quite swift on my iphone.

Update/Refresh Awful

New format awful. Readability, down. Video clips no longer play in app. Cant tell where the article ends and reporter byline begins. Can no longer see multiple articles without scrolling, scrolling. As an avid reader, really really dislike new format. Why the change?

Prompts to update

The App Store is prompting me to update, but I get an error message saying This update is not compatible with your iPad when I try. Why is it prompting me to update if there is no update that is compatible? iPad3 iOS 9.2

Long time user removing app

I have been using the old politico app for quite some time. I added the new app because the old app kept bringing up a nag notice telling me to upgrade. The new app is of no value as the content is 4 to 5 days old. The old app still works, with new content, but is too frustrating because of all the nagging. The Result is I am going to remove both apps from my iPad.

If I could I give it a 0 star

It is not easy to read the main points, and it does not update well. I hated it, my luck I still have the old version in my tablet and went back to it

Not an improvement over prior version- too long to update content

I dont see any improvement in this version - as a matter of fact it is worse: it seems to take forever to load updated content, and sometimes it doesnt do it at all.

Doesnt work

Fails to load any content so nothing to read.

Doesnt refresh

Nice layout, great journalism, but the app wont refresh. Even when I pull down, the app,says its refreshing but it doesnt.

Great Great App BUT

I love Politico and this iPhone app is beautiful. But needs to support multitasking and you should be able to save your favorite articles. It hasnt been updated in a while so …

News as it comes in

Perfect for Election Day.

Why On Earth Did You Mess Up This App?

This app used to be awesome and after the last update, you totaled the app. It now freezes a lot, can’t update and for Pete’s sake, do you have to write your writer’s autobiography after each post? Good Heavens!

Needs font size button

It should have easy-to-use font size button.

in bad need for update/improvement

I thought were suppose to be in the digital age?!? Why is that a supposed modern internet site like Politico cant get its act together for mobile apps? Apparently theyve geared it solely for PCs. Viewed on a PC, the stories are fresher and update automatically -- not so with mobile app. It makes one wonder if the folks at Politico care or pay attention to the feedback they get from mobile users?!? I echo what everyone says before me...this app is an embarrassment to Politico and cyberspace. Better off waiting to download this app if and when it is bought into the digital age.

Not good

When you open the app you have to manually refresh the content. Thats takes longer than you would think and about a third of the time it crashes.

Just keeps getting worse

Incomprehensible that the leader in political journalism would have an app so dysfunctional and at a time when their coverage is most sought after. Get it together.

Zero stars

For an app focusing on political matters. News stories are always a day late. Cnn and other regular apps give you more current events. App doesnt even update for weekend breaking news! tried it again. sos!
