What sets these apart
News from The Washington Post
Washington Post: Live News is a news and magazines app for readers who want a steady stream of national and international reporting from The Washington Post. It suits people who prefer one publication’s newsroom, analysis, and daily briefings in a single app rather than assembling updates from several sources.
What it includes
The main feed runs throughout the day, giving you a place to follow current stories as they develop. You can also set up breaking-news alerts, choosing how closely the app should interrupt your day. For a shorter morning check-in, The 7 highlights important and interesting stories to start the day.
- 24/7 access to the day’s news feed
- Customisable alerts for breaking stories
- Morning coverage through The 7 briefing
- Podcasts and audio versions of selected articles
- Personalised recommendations in My Post
- Video, interactive graphics, and some augmented-reality features
Where it differs in use
This is more than a headline reader, but its broader formats will matter most to readers who want to spend time with a story. Audio articles and podcasts suit listening away from the screen, while visual features add context when a written report is not enough. The My Post feed can make browsing more personal, although readers who want a strictly chronological view may prefer to stay with the main news feed.
Popularity and fit
The app has a 4.44/5 rating from 90,604 reviews and more than 1,000,000 installs. It is developed by The Washington Post, so the central choice is whether its reporting style, alerts, briefings, and multimedia coverage match the way you follow news.
