Download the POLITICO for Android Tablet app today to get your politics fix. The clean, easy-to-navigate layout is ideal for staying up to date when you’re on the go. POLITICO serves as the one-stop shop for the fastest, most in-depth coverage of the president, Congress and the 2012 presidential race. POLITICO’s journalists break news and drive conversation about the White House, Capitol Hill and Washington lobbying, plus the intersection of politics with Wall Street, media and personalities. POLITICO launched in January 2007 with the mission of covering politics with enterprise, style and impact.
KEY FEATURES:
★ Use the header to navigate between the different POLITICO sections such as News, Multimedia, and user-Saved Articles.
★ Article videos can be viewed in full-screen mode.
★ You can dynamically resize Article text so it's at your optimal reading size. Your desired setting is always remembered.
★ Article links to the source content on politico.com may be copied or shared with anyone via Email, Twitter, or Facebook. There is also a button for directly emailing us feedback – and rest assured, we will never use your email address for anything other than a means to reply to you.
★ Current built-in support for 4 types of Push Notifications (can be switched ON/OFF individually via the app "Preferences"):
BREAKING NEWS – Get 'Breaking News' as it happens, direct from POLITICO. The amount of breaking news alerts received in a single day depends on the actual news, as it happens. On certain important politically-charged days, such as Primary or Election days, expect more alerts than usual.
NEW APP FEATURES – This is a mechanism that we use sparingly to tell you about important new app features or changes in the app behavior that we believe to be of particular interest.
APP TIPS – This type of notification is where we can send down tips or hints about app usage. Again, we plan to only use this mechanism infrequently.
GENERAL POLITICO ALERTS – This notification type is how we push general POLITICO or app-specific alerts to you, that do not fall under any of the other notification type categories. For instance, we would use this notification type as a way to inform you about special live events (e.g., live streaming or special Election Night coverage). We may also use this type of notification to tell you about high-profile app updates.
★ POLITICO can dynamically deliver additional News, Blogs, Video or other feeds in the future, without requiring an app update.
★ POLITICO content changes several times, every day. The app will automatically check for changes several times every hour, and intelligently download only those changes that are different from the last downloaded content. If you want an immediate update, you can always use the Refresh button in the header.
★ Non-video article content is intelligently cached for offline reading when a network is not convenient.
★ Feedback is welcome and appreciated!

The articles are tiny and shoved into the top left corner. When I manage to tap on one, the whole app crashes. I wish as much care was put into this app as your iPad app.

So poorly designed that it doesn't scale for hi-res devices. And why should I be forced to landscape?
X
by X####:
by X####:
Can't read anything, I am using Nexus 10. Scaling is bad words overlap and articles do not fill the whole 10" of screen. Will need to uninstall for now till bugs get worked out.

Does not support 4:3 aspect ratio. Lazy programmers hard coded layout for 16:9 ratio resulting in cut off articles on tablets with 4:3. 1 star for sloppy lazy programmers, application is unusable as is. Reported this problem on older versions, newer updates do not address issue. Devs should be fired for ones that actually fix issues. This isn't a feature request, this is basic functionality that is broken. Obviously the developers don't care.

How do you read the whole story? Articles gets cut off? I really want this app to work

First, I must admit that I am extremely happy that Politico has a tablet version of its app. More news apps should be adapted for tablet viewing. However, it takes WAY too long to load versus other apps, and the lack of sharing to Google+ is a major downer. Fix those things, and I will happily upgrade my rating. Asus Transformer TF101, ICS

Love, love, love the interface. You can tell this was designed for the tablet from the start. Best layout I've seen in an android tablet news app. It's not the fastest but, it is faster than the CNN app. Keep up the good work.

A bit clunky and slow on transformer prime! Bit surprised ( not really) all usa politics nothing from the rest of the world. So uninstalling as usa politics are uninteresting in UK. It is a big world out here the usa is only a small part of that world.

Great UI, and a nice, somewhat bipartisan news source! I like the design better than HuffPost news slide thing, which gives you a headache after a while!!!

I tried clearing data in system settings and starting from scratch several times. Always pops up question re: notifications, but before I can answer I see splash screen then crash. App is unfortunately useless.

Everything displayed is too small to read. It fits a tablet screen like a small phone screen. Come on Politico, fix this app for a large tablet display.

Nexus 10. As others have said, the articles are bunched up in the top left. Text overlaps, making it unreadable.

I was hoping for an app with a widget and headline preview functionality. Also: while it may be designed for tablets, it only fills part of the screen on mine. Two strikes.

Installed today. Text only covers 2/3 of screen, bunches together to the point you can't read at all. Only works in landscape mode. Too bad
