IMPROVEMENT. I would like to see the WSJ SURVIVE. I suggest monetizing your advertising to your advantage. Why not utilize EVERY article as a potential for advertising revenue? Hypertext an avenue for the reader to connect with a potential advertiser ie sports a teams name hypertext which when clicked on leads to sites to buy tickets, merchandise, contact w player s sites etc. recipes connect w grocery sites to order and have food ready for delivery pick up or similar. Financial interviews connect w financial advisers, blogs, firms etc. Car reviews connect w an car agency. Even obituaries ..clicks connect w funeral homes, cremation coffins etc. You have the technologies available. Why are u not using it? Charge the excipients of each click a minimal charge or a flat monthly charge. At the current time u have captive audiences w internet connections why are you not utilizing a disruptive technology..if u do not other newspapers will jump on the disruption technology wagon.? CHANGE IN THE WIND

Next best thing to newsprint edition but does have bells and whistles. I think the navigation on the digital edition is great. Content for each section runs along the side margin allowing you to jump to the next article of interest. It is so easy to share an article via email and to save one or a whole section. I love that the current edition or any of the past week's editions are always available on my phone or tablet, even if I am far from home. It also updates with news throughout the day. I have been getting both print and digital editions for a couple of years. I originally dropped the print edition but quickly found that I missed it. It is easier to read on porch outside or at my desk (coworkers know I am reading the paper and not browsing Facebook). I always seem to miss something in the digital version that would catch my eye as I reviewed each actual page. I especially enjoy the weekend edition in real paper format. However, I am more efficient at reading the digital edition as it is easier to skip articles I don't think I have an interest in reading. if you are an old school newsprint reader this may not serve all your needs but it is a handy way to always have the paper at hand on whatever device you are going to carry anyway.

It‘s a nuisance when turning pages from right to left because of the ads.. I am a long term subscriber to the Wall Street Journal and must report that I am very satisfied with this newspaper as it accurately records all facts and does an excellent job in fair, balanced and objective reporting. It is really the only newspaper that I truly appreciate and respect and read daily. Its journalists are very well versed in what they objectively report and reading them always gives a good perspective on what is going on in the world. It also has not only great financial and business coverage but also does an excellent job on the arts, literature, real estate, traveling and sports. Congratulations, keep it up. You are unique. All of the above I maintain. However the handling of the pages in the App has now become tedious and problematic. I turn the pages from right go left and now, many times an add pops out, from the left margin, for Northern Trust Bank which is a nuisance to get rid of. It is bothersome and that is why I took one star off.

App experience. I won’t comment on the journalism, because this is a review of the app itself. First thing to note is that it is clunky. This is worsened by the scrolling experiences which purposely slows the screen scrolling when you encounter an advertisement so you have to view the ad instead of just scrolling past. Additionally you cannot easily select text. I like to select the text and press “Look Up” to learn more about a certain word or phrase. The most you can do is long press a single word and it will give you the option to define that one word, or you can select the entire paragraph, no in between. At first it might seem like glitches, but as an app developer myself, I know that you have to purposefully choose to implement these properties into your app. Lastly, the UI and search are difficult to navigate. If you are looking at economy news it gives you the ability to tap on a ticker symbol to view more info, but it frequently fails to even incorporate that feature into most ticker symbols rendering it effectively useless. Best I can say is that this app is basically a reference for articles that you saw in the paper, but it doesn’t suit well as your everyday news experience.

For the most part reliable news. I rely on the WSJ for a good overview of major financial and economic and political news. The digital format is fantastic to read over in either a very systematic way targeted just the topics you are interested in after and skim of the front page, or in random way as you would flipping pages of the print addition and pausing when something catching your eye to delve into further. All with the benefit of no newsprint bleed onto your shirt cuffs and wasted paper left over. Useful hyperlinked cross-referenced information is simply not feasible in the print version. The main weakness of the WSJ is it is often late covering with much substance or frequency the magnitude of developing financial, economic, or specific industry trends, especially emerging industries or sub sectors of existing industries. If a trend is discussed in WSJ, it has been on most experts in the fields involved radar for many months at a minimum. Compared to 30 years ago, or even 15, the WSJ is significantly better at investigative breaking news stories.

Ok app, (mostly) good / balanced reporting. The app itself is ok and would probably be considered good for your average person. I have access to the Bloomberg Professional app for work though, so I don't use the WSJ app as I otherwise might as it can't really compete (it also costs a lot, lot less). My one (I feel fairly major) complaint about the app would be in regards to its search function. There is no method available to sort search results (such as time ordered or relevance), resulting in searches where it takes me a while to find an article published that same day if I do not make my search more specific. This would've been acceptable five years ago, but this feature is commonplace in a lot of news apps nowadays. I do appreciate the WSJ's efforts to remain balanced, though they do sometimes get a little off balance in terms of some of the op-ed's they publish from contributors and even with articles by some of their journalists who steer things too far right/left (those people are still entitled to their opinions, but they seem out of place in a paper from a news outlet trying to maintain balance in the world of today). And even then, I still appreciate the vast majority of what they publish, even if we don't always agree.

Great app. Excellent content as always but the UI design sets it apart. Swipes switch the section. A simple implementation but an effective one. I wish more news organizations (*cough*nyt*cough*) would adopt this feature in their apps. It makes for a product that reads like a physical newspaper on the touchscreen. Not to mention a better setup to digest information. Unlike a physical newspaper, breaking news can always be found on the front page! Content can also be displayed in dark mode which makes the whole experience easier on the eyes. Market data is about as good as you want from a news organization. WSJ market data has a sleek presentation but I prefer the way that the Financial Times presents market data. Otherwise, an excellent broad stroke. But if you are looking for quantitative minutiae to sift through you are better off using your brokerage firm’s numbers and research. Finally, the sync between devices is an excellent feature! As long as you are signed into to your WSJ account on all your devices you can start an article on one device and finish it on another! I see no reason to stop my subscription.

Sad to see WSJ slipping into the MSM PC herd. I’ll be interested to read the story someday about what happened to the Journal’s news editorial function. The evidence accumulates about the difficulty of finding young journalist who have survived our ideologically fixated colleges with critical analytical skills intact. There must be some though, and one always expected that WSJ, if anyone, would find and groom them to write with wit, energy and curiosity about what really happened “out there”. Yet the news writing gets more shallow each year, more narcissistic and ideological, narrower and more disrespectful of readers who, the writers seem to neither know nor care, have come to hear the evidence so that we may form our own opinions. Each year preachier, each year more simplistic and, yes, so obviously biased. The editorial pages still crackle, thank goodness, and occasionally even expose more than one side of complex issues. It’s less likely with each passing year, though, that the arguments and opinions of your best editorial writers could find support for their views in factual expositions of the news section.

Can’t forward articles. My husband and I are life long subscribers and over the past few years, the WSJ is sadly going to the wayside for me. I live in NYC and used to receive the daily print version of both the NYTimes and WSJ. Inevitably, almost every time it rained, the NYT would be delivered in plastic bag and I’d wind up with a soaked Journal. I put up with it for some time registering numerous complaints and then just dropped it. I am now online for both publications and others BUT the WSJ has fallen behind in my reading. There are many wonderful and insight articles that I’d like to send to me kids, colleagues, friends BUT the receiver has to be a subscriber and it’s very frustrating. I think The Washington Post got it right that you can view so many before subscribing which I eventually did. It’s a complete miss that someone thinks that the WSJ would lose out on subscriber revenues from allowing forwarding - probably quite the opposite as more readers may become interested. I still read the WSJ but only occasionally and certainly not on a daily basis like I did starting in my 20s.

ZERO STARS Worst user unfriendly app ever.. UPDATE: Even though I’m a paid subscriber, I can’t read stories on the app, as it doesn’t know I’m a paid subscriber. I am directed to purchase a subscription if I want to read a story, but I’m already a subscriber. I had to cancel my subscription, always being forced to sign in … not just once for the daily paper, but sign in article by article. I called it quits. I called. The problem was never resolved. I cancelled. I love reading the WSJ & regard it as the finest paper in the USA. If it weren’t for that, I would ditch the app in 2 seconds flat. Even when you’re a paid registered user, the app blocks you from reading articles and you receive a pop up to log in or subscribe. - But you’re already subscribed. AND you’ve already selected “Remember Me”. The app never remembers you. It forces you to go through the process of logging in, then makes you select, “Restore Purchase”, then wait for the confirmation “Purchase Restored”, then it takes you to another page and not the one you started to read. The page you were on is gone. You have to search for it. Even when selecting “Remember Me”, you are forced to lose your page, and go through the tedious, cumbersome log in or register page EVERY SINGLE DAY !!!!!!! I’m very close to cancelling everything & just pick up a copy at the newsstand when I feel like reading it. The app is extremely user unfriendly. The worst ever.

Good but you can improve. The Magazine is pretentious As is the mansions section. Who cares about the houses of multmulti millionaires Make these optional add-ones and save subscribers money. And in the clothing articles try to remember you have plenty of subscribers who are not millionaire kooks. We live and dress decently and even elegantly on middle class incomes . Try looking at our choices once in a while. In fact this goes for all but the news. Inspiration is fine but the Hermès crowd (and I wear those scarves) is limited. It does not include most of your readers. The rest of us don’t mind the Big Money crowd but we have other priorities and do not plan to join them in the Hamptons. Your art and literature choices are however superb. Keep up the good work there. But remember it is for the political and economic news that we subscribe. The wsj is the only major paper that is not run by a bunch of political shills for the Democratic Party. Cease to observe your standards and you will decline into the bracket of the New York Times and the Washington Post.

WSJ??. I enjoyed the print edition for many years. I find the WSJ readable and significantly less biased than than WAPO and the NYT. I no longer read the NYT, WAPO or Huffington Post. I watch a lot of FOX and find CNN and MSNBC to be unbelievably biased. My pet peeves with the digital version of the WSJ is the way it is organized. It does not read like a newspaper and I find it difficult to find stories by headlines and importance. I find the digital version of the NJ Star Ledger much more readable and organized. I don’t particularly like what the paper says but I can find what I want to read by looking a pages and headlines. I guess I’m old fashioned, but I just can’t warm up to the digital version of the WSJ. The other pet peeve is if I go from an aggregator like Drudge to a linked WSJ article I run into the WSJ paywall even though I’m a subscriber and must then go to the WSJ app, log in and attempt to find the article I was trying to read and I’m usually not able to find it. Can’t there be a way to allow subscribers to go directly to the article without all the rigamarole. I read newspapers using headlines arranged by importance not section by section!! Photograph your newsprint edition an use an app like the Star Ledger and I would be a lot more pleased with the WSJ digital edition. William E Musser

Pros and cons. Been a reader for over half a century. Find it a good source for generally unbiased news. Lately they’ve established a really good and meaningful investigative news operation that’s exposed some really substantive issues. On the downside, if you read the Current issue of the digital version, read with caution. In the What’s News section, it’s not really all “news.” They regularly slip in about 5 or 6 editorial and op-ed pieces, without clearly labeling them as such. I find that not only disingenuous but borderline dishonest. If you’ve read as long as I have, you can spot the ringers. Clearly, those signed by the Editorial Board, those with a by-line of a known member of that Board (if you can spot them), then, those with the author’s CV rather than a web address, first person and shorter pieces. If you’re like me, I prefer to skip the editorials entirely. But you have to read to the end, or at least glance at the end, to figure this out. And they’re plunked right in the middle of the issue, under the caption “What’s News.” C’mon WSJ. You can be better than that! Where’s your editorial integrity?

Useless updated for version 14.2. I just updated to v14.2. There are no apparent changes. It is still a hot mess. I really do hope they ate trying to improve the product. The new update absolutely destroys the app. I used to be able to select the issue I wanted to look at. I can no longer do that. I used to be able to click on an article and easily read it, swiping left or right to get to the next page. I can no longer do that. Now the articles are in one long vertically scrolled page that takes forever to scroll through. I used to be able to cluck on the next article or previous article at the bottom of the article to go through the newspaper. I can no longer do that. Plus, the articles are now filled with adds. Not like before. The WSJ used to be a sleek, well-designed, easy-to-navigate and read app. It has now been redesigned to look like a high school class project to develop a news aggregator. I might as well be getting my news from google news. First, the morning paper started coming in the mail in the afternoon, now you took away my opportunity to read it in the morning when it had relevance. Didn’t anyone who actually uses the app test this before you guys rolled this one out? Please, bring back the old version.

Two complaints. The latest version of the WSJ app has many excellent features. I like very much the real time updating of current news. The insertion of video embedded within articles adds a lot of texture and detail. It is extremely useful to have links to supporting material highlighted in blue allowing a quick trip to scan the related article. I have only two complaints. First: many of the articles have animated memes or images that constantly alternate between one image and another producing pseudo-animation. This may be intended as an attention grabber, but it is also highly annoying and distracting. Seeing motion in ones peripheral vision tends to take the reader’s attention off the text and back to the animation. I have to resort to covering up the animation with one hand in order to continue reading. My other complaint concerns full-page advertising appearing in a several page article. The software resists swiping past the advertising to the next page of the article. I realize that this is done so people like me can’t simply breeze past ad copy that they don’t wish to look at. When I had only the print version of the Journal, I could easily ignore the advertising copy. With the online Journal I have to fight ad copy that refuses to yield to a page-turn gesture. I don’t like paying more than $400 a year and find myself forced to look at something in which I have no interest.

Shifting out of neutral.... While still providing the most comprehensive view of finance, business, and markets, the Journal is ever so subtlety shifting away from (what I believed to be) the only truly unbiased American news outlet remaining. Since the leadership change, the liberal bias so pervasive across mainstream media has begun to seep into our beloved Journal. With the exception of the editorial pieces, which are of course meant to be biased, the absence of coverage around China’s culpability for Coronavirus, the incredibly limited coverage of the sexual assault allegations against Joe Biden (as compared to the extensive coverage of the Kavanaugh allegations), and the absence of coverage of the politicization of the re-opening of the American economy leaves one to inevitable conclude that our culture’s pervasive anti-conservative bias has at last come for the last bastion of independent thought in American media. A truly free society must have a media that presents the facts as they are, provides both sides of an argument, and (outside of an opinion piece) allows the reader to draw their own conclusions. I hope the Journal can help lead the way back to that place.

iPad interface lacking. Issues I have are with the app and not the WSJ content itself. The readability in the article view on iPad is poor due to the text being broken into three columns in a clunky way, with wide margins between them. I assume this is attempting to recreate the physical newspaper feel for old-timers, but it requires far too much line scrolling with a mere four words per row. Developers should take a readability hint from Apple News, or follow the Kindle app model and allow for user customization of words per line in the text menu. The "What's News" content laid out in a roughly chronological stream is a good modernization until you scroll beyond the first page and encounter more three-column, wide-margin clunkiness. Why abruptly stop the appealing graphical interface? Why does content stop on page three rather than allowing you to continue scrolling further back in time? The article view on the iPhone is actually much better with continuous scrolling and plenty of images. Why not take advantage of screen real estate on iPad and replicate this with TWO columns?

After some disastrous format changes, improvement. I felt like I needed to correct my formerly low rating, in recognition that the web folks at WSJ were reading the reader ratings and have implemented some improvements in the print edition. It now reads more like the WSJ of old, with modern twists, in some cases dare I sayimprovements. Two continuing issues; it is still a little clunky and slow, often it takes two or three seconds to page down. Also I do not like the fact that todays paper is not clearly listed by having the date at the top of the page. And if you are looking for that great editorial three days ago it is impossible to find unless you do a subject matter search. It was so much easier when the past issues were lined up on the left side of the page. Remember most of your subscribers are old school and paying a relative fortune by on-line standards for information. Give us what we want, how we want it….

Peggy Noonan. I once enjoyed reading her opinion piece each week. I felt it contained observations on society and politics that were not based on her political view, but clarifying her thoughts on what average Americans were feeling and thinking about current events. Many days I said out loud that she really understood what I and many others were feeling in our hearts about the future of our country. I felt she was shaking her head in amazement or disgust or just smiling at the same moment that I was doing the same. We were in the same place at the same time. Then something changed. Was it the Trump rise in our country or was she just aligned with the elites I wonder? I no longer look forward to her articles and think she is less relevant to what I view the WSJ is trying to provide to its readers. Her articles now seem to be a political piece that is out of touch. I can get this type of journalism at a number of outlets like CNN or HuffPost. My faith in your paper is reduced whenever I read her smug hit jobs on Trump or actual improvements in our country.

Love Kim Strassel. I like the paper but it was too much. I like sitting up in bed, am and pm with my iPad I love the way you think. Love the Journal on tv on Sunday. Please look at JACHO target in around 2005. They said nurses had to treat patients by the numeric indicator, pain level 10 is unbearable and one is a smiley face. Nurses had to treat their pain till the level was a tolerable 2 or 3. We were not to judge them by their appearance or affect. “Some people are more stoic then others”. I would treat teenagers (no doubt the ones addicted now) with morphine, norco 10 or 20mg, one young girl only responded to fentanyl. I had the added bonus of treating pregnant mothers as I was a obstetrics RN. We would pour these patients into the car and they would be back after they ran out of provided drugs. We hated it but would be severely fined if we didn’t give them meds till their pain was level 2. We are not surprised by this horrible addiction.

Great resource for real, unbiased news.. I have dropped the local paper, and I’ve stopped watching Fox And CNN on any routine basis. The Journal continues to provide real, in-depth reporting that provides a factual analysis while containing editorial opinion to the editorial page. I started following Peggy Noonan, among others from the Journal’s editorial page because of the rational arguments that they make that are based in fact, not conjecture or projection of their views upon those they profile. I especially appreciated Ms. Noonan’s article that described the lack of an entitlement mentality of students studying at Tennessee Technological University. Her contrast of their desire to learn how to do/make things better, versus the desire of students at several Ivy League colleges to learn how to use connections with other students, highlights the origin of our political leanings and self-interests. The gift my father gave me of a Wall Street Journal subscription in college has turned me into a loyal subscriber of this fourth estate publication for the past 25 years.

Poor performance on iPad. Update 11/18 - two years later - you keep losing eyeballs. The app is so heavy and complicated each article is painful to read. Your full screen ads between pages of the same article work poorly on ipad. If you only care about readers with the lates ipad keep doing what you are doing. But if you care about the rest of your readers who upgrade every four or five years, then stop making your app so hard to use. We read the wsj less because tour app is terrible a d slow. -----I have been using the app for two years. Downloading the daily edition over 3G and often wifi is painful, can take ten minutes to download, sometimes not at all on iPad, so I have to use the iPhone version to actually see wsj content on my daily commute. I end up using Bloomberg (both professional and consumer) versions instead for reading. Frustrating in that I have read the wsj for twenty years. I also do not like its usual non-compatibility with Instapaper which I use to catch up on my reading at nights and on weekends - this is something that wsj does not try to fix. The upshot is I use wsj content less and less, despite a premium price. This leads to further declines in readership for them, frustrating.

Still sets the bar. In terms of research and depth of reporting, the WSJ still ranks as a standard-bearer of journalistic excellence. It is often only in these pages that I can find an explanation or the background that supports the headline items that are given lip service in most other venues. I would rate this news service the full 5 stars except for the fact that there is a discernible, subjective bias that has increasingly crept into the nature of the writing beyond the editorial pages, often evident just in the selection of stories that are chosen for inclusion. I recognize the WSJ has always been a conservative bastion of capitalism (as have I), but I still expect a high quality journalistic institution to insist on impeccable standards of objectivity in its reporting. We have enough polarizing reporting in all other media outlets - I implore the editors of the WSJ to avoid all temptations to use their reporting for purposes of persuasion outside the editorial pages. Events in this world are fascinating and complex enough to stand on their own without any opinion creeping into the writing. Thank you for a high quality news service.

Great and getting better with time. I was an early user of the WSJ for the iPad and had a print subscription (very expensive for a retired person). After a the print subscription was about to run out, I call WSJ to discuss digital only subscription and I am very satisfied with this. The app has had a few problems which I reported to the WSJ. They always thanked me for the contact and either indicated that the problem would be fixed or a work-around. The app is always being improved and is always better then reading the print edition which always left my hands black with printers ink. I also like the update capability since the news is the flow of history in the making. So keep up the good work! I use the WSJ for one of my primary sources of news. I refer my family to many article of interest. I am pleased with the content and function of the app. Thank you! You made to FIVE STARS! Great work!

Awful UI update - AWFUL. See - The Scream. Update, Cust Support provided a general “We’re working to improve” which is great, but the star stays at 1 until the app is usefull (again). To the Cust Support - Thanks for listening to your readers and trying to go back to a more iPad-user-friendly version of the WSJ.. Could you re-introduce the date of the paper? A previous version allowed the reader to read the most current news or the paper that was printed that day. Update, I wrote to Cust Support about the current WSJ iPad app. Navigation requires more clicks, I don't know which day’s paper I'm reading, and I find that “Apple News” provides a more pleasing experience. Come on WSJ, listen up. At a minimum let your reader have an option to pick the Ui they want. I feel like the man in “The Scream,” Edvard Munch. Who would think that changing the user interface could decrease the usability of an app so drastically, so quickly, and so terribly? I could go on and on about how much I dislike the new WSJ app. It is challenging to navigate and quickly see articles I want to read. If it doesn’t change back or to something better, I’ll need to think about canceling the subscription to my favorite paper. Please go back to the -1 gen app.

WSJ is the best!. News broadcasting much less the media at large has become a soap opera with writers and TV “newscasters” vying for rating rather than providing an honest narrative. A free and honest press is a necessary component to the viability of our freedom. My wife watches the soaps each week day. I am in and out of the TV room ....it may be a week or two interval before my soap opera exposure occurs....the plots are twisted, crazy but predictably illogical storylines . I really have no purpose for them but my wife feeds her were addiction to the writers’ and characters’ absurdities. She knows the storylines are pure fantasy but has come to know the various characters. Why do I say this? If the truth is told, Americans turn on daily the cable and network news as well as the printed news of many of major cities newspaper to the same silliness and political absurdities. Thank the Lord for reasonable journalism in the Wall Street Journal. Keep doing your thing...if you do, I will stay onboard...truth fuels trust, the absolutely necessary ingredient for a free and honest government. It’s about checks and balances: government and the private sector.

Upped to 5 stars!. The WSJ remains the first Website I check (twice daily). I rank the WSJ ahead of the NYT because of superior editorial (far more objective), better video, and the focus on the market. Not to mention the links to it's sister partners like Barron's. And thanks for adding the magazine, which used to be the only feature that the NYT could claim as superior. Ps, I have no problems with latest update. Ok, I will update my comments to reflect my feelings about the ever more time consuming streaming ads prior to the videos. I still respect the WSJ by limiting both the # and length of the annoying advertisements. CNBC is definitely the worst of the bunch, where you can expect the advertising to equal 30-40% of the content you are interested in. The New York Times is not far from CNBC when it comes to force feeding streaming ads before you get to see what you hope to see on the spot. Bottom line, WSJ is solid #1 for all around quality and reading experience.

Let the reader decide. In an age where newsrooms have been hijacked by activists and ideologues, The Wall Street Journal stands as one of the last bastions of journalistic integrity - a refuge where readers can weigh the facts and decide for themselves. Over the past two years, the number of publications I relied upon for news has quickly diminished. This summer, I allowed my subscription to The Economist to lapse. I had been an avid reader for thirty years and decided to cancel after reviewing back issues and comparing them to recent stories. The time and effort writers of that bygone age invested in each article was readily apparent back then. Such effort is clearly lacking today. The Economist is the latest in a series of journals that have abandoned integrity for political expediency. Intellectual laziness has crept into the news rooms. I hope the Wall Street Journal is able to fend off this crippling journalistic disease for a few more years, but it is doubtful. American Universities are churning out intellectually stunted ideologues and mature sober reporters are just not sensational enough for the masses.

Change in iPad app is awful. Please, please bring back the old app, or at least give us the option to use it. The old iPad app tracked the print version in an easy-to-use, reader-friendly format. One could go from article to article in a linear fashion, did not have to go back to the main page each time. The day’s edition could be downloaded, so one could read it when offline, which was especially important for those of us who travel on planes frequently for business. The previous day’s edition was always available, so one could go back and catch up with all of the useful content from the previous day if you didn’t read the entire issue on the day of delivery. The new app is terrible, as bad or worse than the New York Times’ very bad app. You can only read the new app when online — no one seemed to consider the many situations when a reader might be offline. Once a new day starts, the old day’s issue just disappears. Reading article after article is cumbersome — you can’t simply go from one to the other. WSJ, you had the best app out there, especially well-optimized for the iPad. Please bring it back. It would make such a difference to so many of us. I pay a large premium today for WSJ content but I’d pay still more to get this content back in the form in which I was getting it until a couple of weeks ago.

The beacon for capitalism, sometimes!. While we all expect the WSJ to be a free market advocate, and a flag waving supporter of this great experiment in democracy. Some on the board are reluctant to shout it from the rooftops. Some on the board are resistant to border protection, limiting immigration and defending America from unfair trade practices. A lot of space is required to refute them on those positions. Now we must say the Journal is one of the only media outlets that has anything good to say about our country. Mr. Riley and Ms. Kim Strassel are the exceptions. Ms. Strassel’s coverage of the Trump derangement syndrome has been worthy of many awards. She is an outstanding journalist seeking truth in the chaos of modern media spin. Mr Riley can always be counted on to write and project thoughtful pieces consistent with the facts and true to the the spirit of our founders. While many expect him to write on racial themes, because he espouses conservative ideas coming from a Blackman, I find his writing colorblind very reminiscent of Thomas Sowell one of the greatest intellects of our time. Mr. Riley’s opinion on all the matters he chooses to write about are excellent. True to the facts and directly clearly delineated.

V14 slow, overloaded with ads, and difficult to navigate. V14 is slow and overloaded with ads. It is an insult to all subscribers - you already pay a premium subscription, so why should you see all the ads (garbage), tolerate an unfriendly user interface, and be unable to see and read articles you want? Specifically, the Print edition section now doesn’t allow you to choose the edition day. So if you missed a day or two, good luck finding the articles you missed. The “real-time” newsfeed sections show articles in random order, not in the chronological order they were published. For example, for a week I had the same article on the top of the Business section and the rest were not in chronological order. Articles are not mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive as you can see the same article in several sections. I guess this is to create an impression of more content available and show more ads. There are significantly more ads in the app, clogging the screen and making reading difficult. Soon, we will be paying to read ads only. Finally, the new daily edition was available after 10 pm PT so it was possible to read “tomorrow’s” news in the evening. Not anymore.

“Enhancements” degrading performance of the app. 1. In recent months, the app has a tendency to freeze or hang. The full page advertisements in particular require a determined effort to turn the page. Very irritating. 2. I used to be able to download an issue and then read it when I was off-line for example traveling. Now I get a blank screen after downloading that tells me I’m not connected to the Internet and the content is no longer available. I have discovered a workaround which is to download the issue, turn off my Wi-Fi, and not turn on the Wi-Fi again until after I have read the newspaper. It’s a ridiculous workaround and the problem didn’t used to exist. 3. Thank you for listening. Remember, it’s the meat and potatoes that are needed with this app, not the bells and whistle‘s. If it doesn’t work smoothly and easily, then I find myself going back to the website and reading the content on the web because it’s so much superior than the app. Not a good result.

The World’s Best News on a Mediocre Platform. For my money, the Wall Street Journal is the best general newspaper available and, on its own, it is worthy of five stars. The mobile app on which I read it is unworthy of the content it supports. Navigation is clumsy and, inexplicably, it is sometimes so sensitive to the touch that reading or navigating becomes nearly impossible. Not enough effort has been made to permit online subscribers to use the content as a reader of the paper would. Recipes are a great example, although only one of many. I want a hard copy of the recipe to make notes on and refer to as I cook. Sometimes I can print one, but as often the instructions won’t print, the ingredients are missing from the copy, or nothing at all can be printed. I’m guessing this flows from WSJ’s maniacal obsession with blocking the sharing of content with non-subscribers. I understand the general problem, but online users (likely the only subscribers who will be around in a few years) deserve to get the same utility for their substantial subscription fee as those who still trudge to the end of the driveway everyday.

To the point, every important point.. Hard news without a bias, cutting no slack to anyone. Editorials thorough and substantiated, written in excellent English. Besides providing information it is a very good tool to improve one's vocabulary. Rich in the use of the English language not just describes facts but enhances the reading experience. Writers knowledgeable of world history are able to provide an historical dimension to news analysis, relating the consequences of similar events elsewhere globally. WSJ provides perspective not easily found in other media. I often read articles by the Editorial Board and some contributors twice: once for the analysis value and a second time to enjoy (and attempt to learn) the beauty of their vocabulary and grammar. The penmanship of some of their writers often convey complex reporting into short, self-evident text by mastering the language in a thorough understanding of history, psychology and sociology: human nature with a historical, cultural and geographical context.

A Former New York Times Reader. I read the New York Times faithfully for more than fifty five years. I devoured their timely, accurate and in depth articles. The paper was always right alongside my breakfast plate but sadly it developed FAKE, INACCURATE, and ONE SIDED NEWS After a considerable time I made the decision to cancel the ailing “rag”. I then went from one paper to the next trying to fill the the void. I finally subscribed to the WALL STREET JOURNAL. I was hesitant about this move as I felt it was designed solely for stock investors. Well I was wrong. I’m back with timely, accurate and in depth articles once again. Thank you WALL STREET JOURNAL! Breakfast looks a little different now as I have my iPad copy rather than a paper copy but I am happy. Sincerely, Linda Lombardo The above review was written some time ago. Things have changed since then. What’s with all the video advertisements which interrupt the reading of the morning paper? The Wall Street Journal is not an inexpensive subscription so why are we being subjected to these lousy, repetitive ads?? Secondly since when has the Journal decided to participate in the so called “woke movement” ?? I am referring to articles in which you use non binary language. They for he or she for example. If the Journal is a truly serious paper you would not lend credence to this nonsense. Linda Lombardo

Disastrous update. I will try and make this brief since I see everyone already agrees with me but I have been reading your paper for over 40 years and it pains me to see what you have done to it. 1. How about a heads up before you make a major change like this? Or even an explanation as to what you have done and why you have done it. Maybe try and tell us why this is better than the old version. 2. You must live and work in an ivory tower with perfect Wi-Fi, and not read the paper when you are traveling, because the app has become more and more dependent on a strong signal. I can’t tell you how many times I have downloaded the paper before leaving home, only to find myself on a plane or in a tunnel, or in some place with a poor connection, and unable to load an article. I understand the videos take a lot of bandwidth, and that’s fine, but please don’t make so many articles dependent on a strong signal to read. 3. If I can’t finish the paper in one day how can I go back and read an article or section I missed? 4. Please kill those annoying ads with graphics that move. It's incredibly distracting when you are trying to read an article, and I for one will automatically not buy any product that is advertised in a way to annoy me.

Thank you. Cause without watchdog denial of of legit claims of all types will be swept under the rug forever and no matter which agencies you apply for assistance even with proper evidence whey will not honor it a Dhs evaluator revisited my claim in 2019 and 2020 and found I was placed in a wrong file because of the spelling of my name which was correctly up loaded to the zone and found to be incapacitated (INCAP) and social security disability is still saying I was overpaid and owe them 20,888 I’ve done some researching and 2019 because I was out of work from 2018 under doctors care for a preexisting disability under fmla I received a manual from my trust fund administrator called the plan and the fight I with my exemployer and their gang of units are playing their same game saying in 2008 they did something with the computer network and all records were lost so without evidence we have no proof so I sent in two sets to Dhs & Ssa 195 pages but things got worsted Irs is reporting to Ssa I was getting payment while claiming disability I discovering about a third party payer that was paying my worker compensation medical since 2003 although (I see claim for Wc denied) under Kaiser perm.

Much improved!. This is an update to my previous rating. The previous version performed very well on my iPhone. This version, however, has a bug that prevents access to seemingly random articles. At first, I thought the bug was limited to the Life & Arts section, but that no longer appears to be true, as various opinion and news pieces are now out of my reach. The error appears as, “Unknown error. If you continue to receive this error, contact customer service in the Profile section of the app”. This would be comforting, if only I could find the profile section within which to contact customer service. TERRIBLE quality control. PLEASE fix this! My previous rating was 2 stars. Based on several months’ use of the updated version, I’m MUCH happier. The errors I was experiencing have disappeared across all the platforms I use (OS X, Win 10, iOS). The app also seems to respond more quickly, and with better accuracy, when updating to the current issue. Thx for restoring my faith in your app.

New Version - Totally Unusable. The latest version of the WSJ app is a total bust. The digital format till forces the user to scroll through a list of sections and no longer displays the easier-to-navigate display we’ve had for years. At first I thought this was a change in settings on my device - no way a publisher would make it’s content less accessible on purpose, right? I finally went to the App Store to see the reviews and realized this was an intentional change - as other users have noted the content is now much more difficult t to navigate - almost unusable. The risk is this becomes a digital version of New Coke. When I called to cancel my subscription they offered me a lower rate - $1 a week for 13 months. What an insult - I had been paying $40 a month - what a rip off! Who is looking after this business? You can’t ruin a product then give it away and expect to make money. I don’t have easy access to the print edition and as a long-time subscriber to the WSJ it is a real disappointment to not be able to read the paper with my morning coffee every day. Please don’t force me to subscribe to Apple News!

Don’t Leave Home Without the WSJ. I regard the Wall StreetJournal as my favorite source of financial information as well as my favorite university of news, history, and insight into what makes our global economy work. I also like the balanced opinion section. In this day and age leading democrats ask, “What’s wrong with socialism?” as though it’s a rhetorical question. It is necessary and wonderful to see editorials that reflect a realistic historical perspective on this question together with a deep insights into current economics. How did people live without the wsj app in the old days? Keep up the great work. That was then. This is now. With few exceptions WSJ has gone to the dark side. Full throated endorsement of the dishonest Trump movement with a side of entitlement slashing. Two good reasons for readers to rebel and swing blue in 2024. The Republicans have few qualities that would attract a decent human being, and pandering to the extreme trumpians and McCarthyites is not going to help. Shape up you guys! Tell the truth. Gerard Baker’s wimpy article warning about the “consequences” of standing for Ukrainian freedom is just one example of how formerly great journalists are tying themselves into pretzels to say what the Trump base wants to read. I am no longer a Republican. I am non partisan. I read the Washington Post now much more than WSJ. Please, for democracy, for freedom, for truth, and for survival: Get back to decent honest journalism.

I like it. I'm a 77 year old lifetime newspaper reader and have online subscriptions to the Washington Post (print as well as online versions) and NY Times as well as the WSJ. I download all 3 every day and wander through them getting the flavor of the coverage and the opinions. I would prefer to be able to download the print version of the WSJ so I could see the placement of articles the way I can with the WP but the WSJ app comes reasonably close. The strength of the WSJ app is the ease of scrolling through to find and read articles in each of the various sections. When all articles are simply shown in long scrolling lines placed willy-nilly on the screen, it is harder to sort out the "news" from the "opinions." It's hard enough to read news articles filled with speculative words like "could" or "might" mixed in with what actually happened. The WSJ is making an admirable effort to keep its news coverage balanced and factual and its opinion section fair. I appreciate that in today's hyper-polarized media environment. BUT, the tech end is quirky. I don't like having an article disappear in the middle of my reading it. I don't like the fact that I then have to start over with the app to get back to where I was. SURELY YOU CAN FIX THAT!

Decent coverage, particularly of business, but app is not as good as Apple News or NYTimes.. Generally the WSJ articles are pretty good (and have improved over the years, especially online), but the app is a bit clunky compared to say Apple News+ or the New York Times app. But basically one usually reads the news not so that things can be fancy, but for the content. Apple News+ includes some WSJ articles, but basically the majority (and practically all the in-depth articles) are behind the paywall and the WSJ app. The coverage on business is pretty good, a lot more in depth explanations, writes are very good. The political coverage is OK, kind of right of center, although the opinion page stuff is pretty bad, the Murdochs are a little heavy handed there, that has gotten worse over the years. The cultural and general news coverage has gotten considerably better, at times rivaling the NYTimes, but the Times is still more in depth in this area. The WSJ app reads more like a traditional newspaper, you have to kind of page through it, hyper-linking is not great, more a throwback kind of approach, for better or worse.

App works fine, but no breaking news detailed updates. I am a long time user of this app. Pros: content the same as the paper version, recent back-issues easily accessed, slide and glide thru articles, stable performance (had some bug issues in earlier releases, but seems fine now), and table of contents/sections works fine. Cons: biggest shortcoming is that while WSJ does give you a breaking news notification (I use an iPad-mini), if you click the notification it merely opens the app, but no further details are provided regarding that breaking news item. Some other news apps, for example the BBC's app and CNBC's app, is constantly updated with breaking news details. This app is just a snapshot of the print version. Update....lately, everytime I launch the app, the WSJ white startup page just sits there, I have to close it and reopen for access to editions, sections menu. Needs fixed, but otherwise great (normally) editorial content, journalism and app.

Good, Not Perfect. I like the WSJ because it does the absolutely best job of reporting ALL news in an unbiased way. I can turn to the business section with a feeling of confidence that what I am reading is factual; I feel the same way about world and US news. I like reading it on my iPad because I can read as much or as little as I want at my own time AND I do not have to deal with disposing of the paper product. I enjoy the opinion page because it acts as a balance to the totally progressive liberal views expressed in virtually all other media. This is why I gave it five stars because these are the things that are important to me. What I do not like is the clear slant toward the very rich in the "fluff" pages. I understand that this is because the advertisers are interested in selling their products and it is the very rich who buy them. However would it be too much to ask that you include some content that those who take home less than $150,000 a year would actually like to hear about!

Great app and very informative. Love WSJ and their informative articles. Much of what I read is used in decision making for stocks and my overall view of the economy. I still think that aside from the opinion section, WSJ is generally non biased when it comes to information. My only regret is that I don’t think WSJ checks on their membership much. I honestly think that some subscribers are bots who are only there to inflame readers and inject their own disgusting brand of politics. I don’t care much for politics and try to some our both parties from issues, but it seems that there are some members who consistently comment on every article no matter when it was posted which leads me to believe they are bots if that is even possible. I really wish that off someone from WSJ is reading this, you really need to check that. I subscribed because I am a young college student trying to understand the world as best I could and believed that I would find like minded people as subscribers as well. But the case is that this, most times, is no better than Facebook’s comment section.

World’s Best Journalism. Somewhere in the world there may be a newspaper which is as good for its country as the WSJ is for ours. On a national level, it is the only source of actual journalism-well written truthful independent coverage of events. The rest of the media acts as if they are just an arm of the Democratic Party, all the way down to having the same daily talking points. Following the money leads to the fact most are owned by companies trying to kiss up to China because it is such a large market for their other products. Due to the exceptional success of the WSJ and Fox News, small cracks are starting to appear in the Democrat/Media/Elites wall. Will all of CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, WAPO, Newsweek, Time, NYT, and LA Barf Times continue to follow a bad business model? Our country still has capitalism and cream will rise to the top. WSJ, you may actually have some competition soon. Instead of training staff on “equity”, media HR departments will be training on how to successfully fire Wokies.

Home Screen Has Scrolling Problem. Hopefully this review gets developer attention because reporting via the app has not. For about 2-3 months now, the main screen (article homepage) has been “jumping” while scrolling through articles. As I scroll downward, often the screen changes and “jumps” several articles, as if the screen instantly refreshes to another point on the homepage. The direction of this annoying jump seems to be upward. It happens in every use now, and often I need to scroll downward several times before I can finally successfully move down the article list. I have an iPhone 11 Pro and iOS 15.1, and have used the app for several years. Content and functionality otherwise is great. One more tip to developers: in the submit a bug feature, you should ask for the information you need, so a customer service person doesn’t have to immediately email the user to ask for the probably standard information like OS, phone model, etc. That conveys, probably accurately, that the bug reporting feature is not really that important to you.

Reporting the news. The news has lost it’s way in these later days. News is reporting what has happen. Opinions are articles about what a reporter thinks about the news. Now days these two pieces of writing have merged into the same article. Give us the news in the article and then tell us what you think is going to happen because of the news. An example is the tariff being put on some things being shipped into this country. The articles reporting the tariff also try to tell us how a tariff is going to harm our nation. What you think is gaining to happen is conjecture not fact or news. The reporter has no facts to back up the effect of what is going to happen only their opinion. I can name others but the point would be the same. We don’t know what the effect or the unforeseen consequences of many decisions made on a daily basis. I could go on about many other similar issues but that is not necessary the response is the same. I understand and believe this world has become very interdependent on each other and will continue to be even more in the days and years to come. This has and will continue to help others and other countries improve the standards of the people around the world. Please report the news facts. Then if you want tell us what you feel about the news and what is going to happen in the opinion section of the news. Be sure to report, when the effect is known, how accurate your opinion was.

WSJ app. I have been a user of the WSJ app since I bought my first IPAD about seven years ago. I love the content. I do not like the current layout. I find myself starting to read articles and realizing that I had already read them the day before. All articles should have time and date stamps. I think there should also be a way to select how much data should be downloaded when operated on cellular. WSJ is very large and can chew up your data plan as quickly as videos do. It should show headlines and download the article if you choose to read it. A choice could also be offered to download the whole paper. Right now I am having problems with the App on my iPhone X. It totally stopped working for 3 weeks. I spoke with tech support, but received no guidance of when to expect a resolution. On June 11, 2018 I happened to try it again; it worked! However now, 2 days later, I find it won’t show any newer content than what it downloaded the day it started working again.

Love the breaking news alerts!. I never allow alerts from my apps, but this one I did and it has been perfect. A breaking news banner pops up and then I can decide if I want to click on it to read the rest of the article. If I’m in the middle of something, I can go back later and see the alerts I missed in notifications. Being able to customize what alerts I see and how often they will come is great as well. I’ve noticed on my watch I can read the headlines only, but they are color coded- red & blue. I haven’t figured out yet if that is to say what list they are from, or if they are showing what party is making those claims. One way or the other- I LOVE-finally having a way to stay up to date with National and some international news without having to listen to the continuous droning 24 hour news on TV and trying to pick out what is actually new. Now if the WSJ would just cover my local news life would be perfect. I’m not happy with any of the local news apps, but that only shows how good the WSJ is in comparison.

The menu is so confusing.. I feel I’m not intelligent enough to understand how to find sessions on this iPad app. It’s so much easier with phone and desktop. Also images seem to be cropped when viewing on portrait mode. This needs a lot of improvements.

Why forced dark mode?. I used to have no problem with the app, but now it has an enforced dark mode and doesn’t seem to have any option to return to light mode. Disappointing for those of us that prefer to read in light mode.

Great format. Very well designed and intuitive to use. Easy to browse and read, and with the ability to save stories which is handy.

Robert Vincent. Very impressed by the way WSJ has broadened its coverage (eg Feature Reads and Magazine) and maintained journalistic quality. The app itself has been pretty good although have had some minor issues with Subscriber only articles log in requirements if the device has been turned off Thanks

Needs refinement. Needs an option to toggle night shift even during the day as I prefer dark mode. Feed needs work to bring up more good reads on similar topics from past editions. Commenting should also be supported in the app.

A daily pleasure. Real journalism, well written. From what is making news today to business through technology and the arts, the WSJ is always lively, sometimes opinionated and always engaging. A great daily read.

Mostly good. I use this app most days. The breadth of coverage on mobile devices is good, and the layout and user interface are as good as any news app I’ve seen. Stability too is good - I rarely have any app crashes. My only issue with the app is uses cannot add comments to news stories from the iOS app.

Great Articles on a Diverse number of Topics. I find the WSJ to be my go to source for what’s happening in the World as well as the US. The articles are interesting, well researched and so topical. On political matters my view is that the commentary is fair and without the slant one sees in so many newspapers these days. I find the articles across the board to be insightful and diverse in the range of topics covered.

Great app, very convenient. Have been using the WSJ app for a while now. The overall user experience is excellent. The editorial content of WSJ is a cut above. The only thing I would love to have is a dark mode for iOS 11 or earlier versions. Otherwise, highly recommend this app.

Great app but continuously refreshes. Great app but when scrolling through the app, it will randomly refresh itself and reload the whole screen and will reset and show the top news . Even though you might have scrolled to the end of screen. Very annoying and defeats the whole purpose to use the app vs the website.

Michael ‘AL’ Lagos. When it comes to the truth in all matters business as a degree qualified international business grad (marketing and management majors) there’s only one source of true global significance I listen to that The Wall Street Journal. I’m constantly amazed. The accuracy at which their journalists break such high level stories is all class.

Easy access to great journalism from afar. The only gripe I have is no easy back to front page button. You seem to have to go back back and back. The quality of writing and research is excellent. Even though it's a financial focused paper it does not appear to have a conservative political bias. Photographs are relevant (not stock photos forced into articles for the sake of it with irrelevant captions like in the SMH or other Australian media). There is also no wasted white space and none of that horrible format the ABC News app uses for longer reports where there are lots of images and you're endlessly having to scroll down for the next paragraph. Video reports are concise and to the point where the visual material is worthwhile rather than 'so what'). Interesting content far beyond Wall Street news. Has not crashed on me in 3 months of use. I highly recommend this paper and the app format.

Excellent app but …. There needs to be found a way to view and make comments. Without going to a browser you cannot see comments, and in many cases that is a lost treasure trove. Let’s make it happen.

Impossible to try and unsubscribe. You can’t unsubscribe online so you are forced to call a overseas number that doesn’t work. Also you received ugly ads in the middle of your articles when you have a paid subscription. The articles and content are great but very disappointed in the service and app. They use under handed tactics to try to stop you from unsubscribing. Quality content and a quality app should be the only thing they need to stop you from unsubscribing. This makes them look cheap and desperate. Don’t ever give them your payment details if you are outside the US because you may need to cancel your card to get them to stop charging you every month.

Easy to navigate and absorb. Informative headlines and limited picture graphics enables a smooth and quick read on what matters. I regularly access four newspaper apps a day - this by far the easiest.

Fantastic app. Great app, reads just like a newspaper but also has a strong online update section. Easy to manoeuvre around and is stable. The journalism is great too, arguably the best in the world. Ads displayed throughout aren’t overly intrusive either, very similar to how they would be positioned in a print copy.

Unbiased news. Its refreshing to read the journal as it seems the last bastion of unbiased news. They respect their readers well enough to let them read the facts and draw their own conclusions. Amongst sensationalized television news and opinion riddled major global papers, the WSJ is the only genuine source of factual reporting.

Moderate and Fair Commentary. There are many wonderful corners of the WSJ but best are my favourite columnists like Peggy Noonan who can always be relied upon to see the positive in any political situation. I so look forward to reading her every Friday. The WSJ provides excellent coverage of news everywhere. Love it!

A curate's egg. Good in parts. Annoying that you can't easily flip between the morning edition and the current edition. Not always easy to find the current version and be sure it has been all downloaded - an original version of the app had a blue line that showed how much had been downloaded. Nice that it has such clear font and graphics and is so easy to read. And best of all, the unique wsj content.

The app does not work with my WSJ subscription.. Dear WSJ app support team, I am a subscriber of WSJ. I am unable to view the news on my WSJ app (both iPhone and iPad) and it is asking me to re-subscribe again. Can I please have an answer to the issue as I would like to use the app rather than on my internet browser. Thanks

Could be great if saved articles were available on the web browser as well. Enjoyable, easy to read and navigate. If only the saved articles could be shared through the cloud so that what I save in the app is available on the website.

Surprisingly well balanced.. I’ve been looking for a non-partisan American source of news for a couple of years now and I’m delighted to have found the Wall Street Journal. I can rely on its Spread of journalists to deliver perspectives from both sides of politics. It’s a breath of fresh air.

Concise and accessible. The format allows skipping through multiple articles and choosing those of interest. Opinion and editorial are the frosting.

Best Newspaper App. Someone has finally found how to put a newspaper on an iPad properly. Gets the balance right between digital and traditional newspaper feel. Beautiful layouts. Smooth operation. Easy previews of articles. Wish more Australian papers looked at this for inspiration. Especially News Corp here.

Excellent newspaper. I’m in Australia and appreciate the excellent in depth reporting of US and worldwide news on a seemingly endless range of subjects and issues. The opinion pieces stand out too like today’s on the poor thinking that went into foundation decisions to effectively promote socialism. There is no shortage of academic work needed to help improve capitalism rather than promote the utterly discredited human disaster that is socialist economics.

Good way to read up although some improvements. Would be good to have the option to change between region of news to make it more relevant I.e Asia

Easier to navigate. There are some great articles on the WSJ app. It’s up to date, the articles are usually of a high quality. The editorials and opinion pieces still seem reasonable, pluralistic and balanced.

Amazingly balanced and diligently researched journalism. I am from Australia. With reference to time zones and the news cycle, I now view the Journal’s key headlines at around 10:00 PM local time, and have noticed that the authoritative and reliable business commentary permeates down to local time zone published outlets, including News Corps own, the next day. Also, politically, if one is informed of the side of the spectrum the publication is skewed, it’s easy to appreciate the quality- alligned to what I’ve put in the header. Quality stuff.

Great app. Works flawlessly. The app doesn’t have all the content available on the website but is a great way to get access to and navigate around WSJ when you’re out and about. Particularly appreciate the go to new issue prompt as I’m not in the U.S..

I CANT BELIEVE IT. I swore off “mainstream media”, especially Murdoch press about a decade ago after the Australian mastheads lost all of their outstanding journalists in the digital disruption. I have since really enjoyed finding and supporting independent news and journalists on social media channels. But even I was shocked recently. When the US Banking crisis hit I turned straight back to the major news outlets on that Saturday (Australian EST time) when SVB went down. I only felt sure the news was correct when I found it on WSJ. And so, for the first time in more than ten years, I have once again become a subscriber to WSJ. I still can’t believe it, but now it’s my go-to for major macroeconomic and financial news which is a daily event right now…

WSJ app review. Fantastic news app. Really well researched articles, 5-star journalism and editors that know there grammar and know how to spell (or at least pick up and correct the typos) - a rarity in Australia from where I’m reading the WSJ every morning. Oh, and the app is well designed with excellent typography and UX. Well done.

What’s not to like?. Well thought out and easy to navigate. And of course exemplary journalism and thought provoking opinion pieces. Can’t imagine a better news site than this.

Very Good. Alarms on news are the way I can be informed quickly on what’s happening in the areas of my interest because I don’t have enough time to read the full newspaper content. Great!!!

Where else do you go?. The Wall Street Journal gives you the facts and not opinions unless from experts who are qualified to make statements. I enjoy reading this newspaper wherever I am in the world because it does not disappoint You want the best news coverage written so enjoyable to read and never disappointed. I am a designer and love the arts and leisure sections.

Not so user friendly on Ipad. Despite being a paid subscriber it is very cumbersome to open the browser of paid subscription as it keep asking to login and when you login it won’t open paid subscription. Although, mobile is little better and web versions comparatively better. I am yet to see any real benefits of using this paid service. Free version of market watch is for better. I do not know it is technical glitch on ipad.

Enjoying the content. But sometimes finding it is an issue

Would be nice to have a Chinese version. Would be nice to have a Chinese version with the English and Japanese. There is a Chinese one for the WSJ website not the app. A bit odd. But overall is very timely and good writing for getting business news.

WSJ = Hope for intelligent and serious journalism. Of all US ‘papers’, the WSJ is the most honest, searching, thoughtful, and clear about its standards. Even if you might disagree at times, it is always worth reading and thinking about. Above its competitors, it conveys an effort to live up to the ideal of clear presentation of actuality.

Cancellation process is a nightmare. The app does not provide the ability to cancel your subscription. Email cancellations are also not supported. You have to dial a number in your region that is always busy and operates in a different Timezone. Not convenient! It took me 2 weeks to cancel my subscription. After successful cancellation, I was charged more than $50AUD - not worth it comparing to New York Times monthly fee $4AUD. Lastly, I have not been able to request my refund successfully by phone as it is also an inefficient process - well designed to take your money..

Hard to cancel. Had a go at an introductory rate, enjoyed the app but wasn’t using it enough to justify a full subscription. Easy to sign up, but had to call and they couldn’t find my info without giving up heaps of my personal info and they could understand English very well, took 15 min and I had to redo all my details to two different people. They need to make it able to be done online as a recommendation.

Excellent. I love it. I only read the WSJ every day from Australia because I live the editorials, opinion features, book reviews etc. I also listen to Potomac watch religiously. Paul Gigot and his editorial page colleagues, in my judgment and that of many people I know and respect, are the best journalists in the world. Tom

Better than print. I subscribe to several newspapers. For most of them I download the digital replica of the printed version but the WSJ is one of the few where the app is better than the printed experience.

Never updates. This app never seems to update. iOS settings are correct (background app refresh is on). The only way to refresh is change region. FT is way, way better.

Does not work. I subscribes for the year, WSJ app on the iPad keeps asking me to register and blocks all content. It disabled the send button on the email when I want to contact customer support to share my concern, adding to my frustration. Apple news app acknowledges that I am a registered WSJ user and allows me to access WSJ content, thanks for that app working or my subscription money would have gone down the drain.

Buyer beware. Please understand that when you sign up, if you change your mind and want to cancel your subscription that they make things very difficult. They send you a phone number that you must ring. But my phone was restricted from making calls to such numbers. I tried to explain this and they wouldn’t ring me, they would just keep sending me emails with the phone number on it and then highlight where in the terms of agreement you agreed to it. This is deceptive and they should be ashamed of their behaviour. I’m a pensioner and they took a lot of money off me before I was able to borrow someone’s phone and ring them.

View from Downunder. High quality opinion pieces but otherwise irritatingly excessively US centric at times to the extent of being boring - but I still read it everyday! High quality journalism- eg, Kissinger - but there is an inherent antipathy towards national health systems as in UK or Oz. So, a little too ideological at times, and perhaps overinvested in, or insufficiently crtical of, the free market. Paper has a certain ethnocentrism in that respect, which is mildly irritating. Have a look at what we are doing in Oz at present re CV-19, under the management of a conservative but non ideological government, and you will see what I mean - note the huge disparity in disease outcomes between your country and mine. Aim for less ethnocentrism, both at a country and paper level - regards, Paul

What a nightmare to cancel. I wished I had read properly before subscribing. Cancellation must be done by phone, to customer service, and by this way only! This is a pain from Australia and I find in this day and age ridiculous. Why can we not email I have no idea but it is beyond a joke. Now with all that is going on with coronavirus I cannot speak to someone from customer service but they can still bill me monthly ok. Disgraceful.

Helpful update. The last update fixed an issue where the app would just get stuck loading. Now I am able to read all the great content in the WSJ.

Great app and the information wich is more important is even better.. As a whole the app does everything it is supposed to do and the articles and information inside is amazing and very detailed, accurate and on point. Recommended for people who work in the political field or study.

Wall Street journal. The news was good, but I never knew despite having paid for the app for my phone if I had access to all of the paper... the format bad... I like to see a whole front page... not just one article then scroll down for more... I never got the impression that I had a lot of reading to do, I never saw a choice of which articles I could read , I never was given an option of reading opinion pieces... my bank changed me from a Visa card to a MasterCard and it was so difficult to update my card details on the phone that I decided I wasn’t missing much if I didn’t update them... back to the NYTs for me....

Won’t let me cancel my subscription. First of all they only let you cancel your subscription by contacting customer service, which is what I did. Then they tell me that because I purchased it through the Apple Store on my phone that I have to contact Apple. Fair enough… so I asked if they knew the contact information and the quick answer is no — figure it out for yourself. Tried going through my app subscriptions and it’s not listed there. So how the heck do I cancel this please??? Can someone ACTUALLY help???

Best Paper in the World. What I like about the WSJ is that it tells me the facts, not what to think.

What the hell?. What the booody hell? What have you done to your app? You’ve absolutely ruined it! Everything good about it - see my previous review - has been turned on its head. Why would you DO this?

Terrible customer service. Been trying to cancel my subscription for months but have been unable to reach anyone by phone or through the website.

Cleaner app, but still can't properly select text. Want to look up a person or thing while reading an article? Nope. The app department at WSJ has decided to only let you highlight one word, or the whole paragraph. And then have disabled the context menu option to share with another app... The website is still better.

App does not permit enlarging of print , hard on the eyes. Unable to enlarge the print, unlike other on-line newspapers. Content is outstanding, the app itself it deficient in this matter. I like the Opinion page, business page, “Mansion” page and particularly the Saturday Review section. I find the news coverage tends to lean a little bit more to the centre-left than I feel is warranted, possibly in an effort to appear even-handed. In particular, I find it annoying that any reference to possible electoral irregularities in 2020 must be prefaced by “false” (I assume on orders from the editor) despite the fact that many unique electoral practises in 2020 allegedly due to Covid, have never been properly investigated. Generally I like the WSJ a great deal, and am worried about its future once Rupert Murdoch is no longer in charge of the company.

Runs hot. App needs optimization. My brand new phone runs like a steam engine when SCROLLING TEXT. Kill all the crap running in the background.

Can’t subscribe. For whatever reason, the app fails to connect to iTunes when I hit start trial. Nothing wrong with the connection itself (as I am writing this review on iTunes). Likely a bug in the app. Please fix.

No options.. Wishing this American journal would provide some options on subscription. Offering $1.29 for four weeks then $50 a month after that is ludicrous. For a business journal they are not very business savvy.

Impressed With The Caliber of Reporting. So many other news sources insert their opinions prominently into their stories, making the reader feel lead rather than informed. The Journal has always done a great job maintaining a professional tone. The app is excellent as well, with a clean and simple interface.

WSJ. The only North American publication that is almost fair to the right wing readers as it is to the left

New interface is awful. What idiot came-up with that?. I can’t believe that a nice user-friendly iPad interface was dropped for the benefit of this awful iPhone interface. I’m cancelling my subscription

Terrible app. The app is not great. I am unsure why many articles do not work within the app, and instead open a browser window within the app, which of course does not load the articles because this is a paid news service. You basically have to login within the the browser within the app in order to read these articles. Sometimes logging in doesn’t even work.

The most reliable media by far. Based on the correct prediction WSJ gave on many issues with Chinese government, I now only subscribed this newspaper and gave up NY times. Plus the APP is really easy to use.

Bigger font please!. Pretty good app, but I would like the option of having bigger sized letters.

Restoring Purchases. Having a very hard time restoring my purchases even though I am a subscriber in the App Store. I cannot read the articles.

Used to be fine. The tablet version used to be a good experience, wow its just another upscaled phone app, incredibly lazy.

Giving up due to brutal refresh issue. When reading my morning news, spontaneous app/content refreshes take me back to the top of the page and require I scroll all the way back to where I was. This can happen multiple times in a session. It’s hard to overstate how irritating this is. I’ve reported the bug to them, no fix yet. I’ve had my subscription for almost a year, and do not plan to renew it. Otherwise, good.

Update is horrible. Navigation between sections doesn’t work. Layout is not user friendly, and headlines font (especially for the long list of articles) is flat, repetitive and visually stark. With no variation, you don’t get pleasantly drawn into articles, unexpectedly, as you did with the original app. There is just a drone of article headlines that no one will pause to peruse. Can’t see prior days’ editions. Shockingly terrible on every front. How could this make it through the endless number of approvals this must have required to go to launch?? And do they not understand their premium target market?

customer. Excellent, efficient, timely. thank you!

Simply the best newspaper around. I look forward to reading my WSJ every day. Articles are professionally written and thought provoking, and the Opinion pieces are always spot on. Thank you for maintaining integrity in journalism.

Good content!. Excellent articles.

I Am Not An American But When I want a Balanced Approach and Interesting Perspectives I goTo The WSJ. This is one of the best newspapers around. I goes into depth, provides reporting and opinions in a clear manner, is a great read and overall a well balanced approach to what is going on in the news. I particularly like the in depth articles.

Stock watchlist not saved between updates. The latest update doesn’t retain a user-defined stock watchlist.

Disastrous Downgrade. Who replaced the reliable app with an inferior and desolate new app which lacks a lot of feature? It is clearly a downgrade; also much worse performance.

Very disappointed with new version. The Wall Street Journal is a fantastic newspaper. I have read it for years and thoroughly enjoyed it. The app was excellent too. Very user friendly. Was able to have easy access to one weeks worth of papers. The new app (as of last week) is awful. It doesn’t give access to the whole paper anymore. It is regularly updated. I am very disappointed and wish they would make the old functionality available as an option.

Excellent app.. Very user friendly. WSJ is the pinnacle of business journalism but it also excels at covering many other beats. A must read news source.

WSJ. I am paying too much money for this access yet when I take a link from my email I can’t read the article because there is no sign in button , just pay up. This sucks Oh and when I try to send this in my first 34 attempts at a nickname are taken

Why this “progressive” reads the WSJ digital edition constantly. First class journalism, frequently covering different stories, often with an emphasis and perspective that serves as a refreshing counterweight to the NYT and WaPo.

Great Newspaper. WSJ is an excellent newspaper. It has complete details of all sorts of information. Specially financial news. Thanks Abdillahi Warsame

WSJ. Lost in the media desert for decades, the WSJ is an oasis

Fake news. Fake, biased news that follows a certain political agenda

Mr. Zhang. I like the reports on China.

Business & Economy. Great features:) Fantastic insights:)

Cancel Policy is a Crime. I like WSJ but if you sign up be forewarned even though we can buy houses online now you can’t cancel your sub unless you PHONE. So kiss that part of your life good bye while waiting on hold to do something that should take 1 second. If they can sign you up online they can cancel online. Truly criminal.

Critical for Market Leaders. There is no other publication in the world that provides this kind of insight.

Update Horrific. Totally useless update. Do not know what day I am reading and how events evolve. VERY DISAPPOINTING!

a rare unbiased news source. one of the best and one of the only truly unbiased news source there is. tells news as it is, no hidden agendas, just facts. have been impressed with a lot of writers at WSJ.

Several articles. The very interesting articles are blocked out, so I can’t read them.

Very slow app. Very good newspaper, but the app is a nightmare, there are long delays when switching from one article to another. I've never seen such a slow app, too bad!

KEEP ASKING A CURRENT SUBSCRIBER TO SUBSCRIBE AGAIN IN APP. I am a subscriber but the app does not recognize me and keep asking me to resub. So i can only use the print edition app for now. Contacted support, they say they are on it, but nothing has changed since last week.

Great app, make the iPad app free. Great mobile app. Please make your iPad app available to mobile subs like NYT does!

iPad version terrible UX now. This needs to be reverted back. The print edition went from an excellent experience to garbage. What is this.

I don’t love Rupert Murdoch but I do love the WSJ. The WSJ is the best value for money, with interesting articles and content that keeps the investor informed better than ant other Newspaper in the world. In other words you really can’t afford not to subscribe.

Great paper, app update might be off. Excellent newspaper. Highly recommend it. The app, however, now causes iPhone 14 Pro to heat up dramatically since the latest app and iOS update. (iOS 17) Phone becomes uncomfortably hot after two or so articles. Cools off quickly after quitting the WSJ app. (The news is not that hot!)

what a horrible change to the app - this latest update does not help. update Oct. 20 - they keep saying this has been improved bit it is still awful. I have cancelled my subscription …. The look & feel & readability of the “new look” is awful. Just a scrolling list of about 6 articles per section - then you have to navigate - clumsily - to the next section. What was the point of the major change? I subscribe to multiple papers and this has to be the worst interface. I will probably cancel. You say you have noted the comments and made improvements. But the change is not readily apparent. If you really wanted to take the comments into account, roll back to the prior look.

Far away. Living in a remove area where mail usually takes a couple days I must say getting a same day on line version is huge. I appreciate not having paper waste as our land fill is reaching end of it’s usability.

Used to be best news app, still outstanding content. This app used be the high water mark of news app design. The new iPad design v14 is absolutely terrible and got rid of everything great and distinctive, and losing its professional look and feel. Specifically, the layout similar to the print edition is gone including the excellent sidebar summary of top news stories. Moreover,I can no longer see prior day’s editions. It looks like any other clunky news app and I can no longer breeze through my favourite news app over morning coffee. Why did you do this? I am now having to consider cancelling my subscription since this is a huge step backwards.

Terrible new layout. Why did you remove the feature that permits readers to access individual editions of the journal?

Should be free!. News of any kind should be free for everyone! Why should there be a fee for news we can’t proof ourselves? We know the media occasionally manipulates the truth. Why pay?

So-so digital. It is very helpful to have this app for travels away from home where we can still read a real paper. It has flaws - especially with the crossword. There doesn't seem to be a way to stop the clock, other than clearing the puzzle; it doesn't offer the answers to the meta-puzzle in the Monday edition; and sometimes the crossword just isn't there. The app has no short way to print an article without all the graphics, bullets of secondary and irrelevant info on, and wasted space. I have to compile and edit an article in order to share articles since the WSJ doesn’t always let me send links to complete articles. C'mon folks. What better way to get your standard of journalism out there than by getting potential readers to see your work. And last, but not least, there seems to be 2 digital editions and some days, I am slipping between the formats and have no idea how or why. Where is the newspaper format I’ve heard about but can not find on this app? For all of the above, I have higher expectations for the Journal.

Latest app update has serious problems- updated review. This review previously lamented that the “Print Edition” tab did not show the current day’s paper until some random time during the day. There is, however, a “Browse Issues” tab that lets you choose the current day’s issue immediately. It is still annoying, however, to have to do that every morning. Why not simply bring the latest issue up automatically, which surely the vast majority of us want to see, and let only the minority seeking an earlier issue have to punch the tab? That’s what used to happen automatically in the earlier version of the app, and it makes no sense to make 3 million or so digital subscribers waste 5-10 seconds every morning updating to todays edition. At 5 wasted seconds per day per subscriber, that’s over 4,000 person-hours per day down the tubes. Please give the world’s productivity a break and fix your app. Fix that, and you’re back to a five-star review.

Dont subscribe, they wont let you cancel. WSJ does not allow you to cancel service online. You have to call them for the cancellation. Their papers never get delivered, if you ask them to refund your money for the past 2 weeks for the non delivered papers, they give excuses about systems not allowing them and they not being able to verify the paper was not delivered, basically cant verify if you are speaking the truth. When you call to cancel, the agent will promise you a refund if you dont get the paper next time. When you call them next week to cancel, because you don't receive the paper, they disagree to cancel and their solution is to charge you for the remaining month but not renew the subscription, so you pay for the coming weeks without service. The last solution they had was sending me all the old undelivered journals for me to read. Lastly they give really cheap promotions for you to sign up and never tell you how much they will charge after the promotion, then they just charge your credit card a phenomenal amount of money without notifying you of the big change.

Great for move travelers. This is a review of the WSJ iPad/iPhone app, not of the paper and its content. Long time (20+ yrs) print subscriber who travels occasionally now for pleasure, since I am now retired. Recently returned from trip overseas and loved how I could load the day's issue in one shot and then continue to read whether I was connected to WiFi or not. Read most of yesterday's issue on my iPhone while flying from Madrid to JFK without having to pay rip-off WiFi rates on the plane. WSJ App navigation is a breeze. Love the content menu for the sections so I can easily navigate to what I want to read. I frequently pass along articles of interest to friends using the app's email feature -- makes that process very easy. App also gives me access to the day's content when print edition is not available, as I have found in most of my travels outside of US and most US hotels, even Marriott who claims to offer complimentary WSJ. And now that WSJ charges $4 for the newsstand edition (what happened to $2 not that long ago?), my penny pinching self opts to read the digital edition. Overall, very satisfied with the WSJ app. And, yes, will continue to renew my print edition since that's how I learned to read as well as the digital edition which will give access when the print edition is not available or cost prohibitive.

Good News App, But Could Be Better. I read the WSJ every day on my ipad. The content and writing are excellent. However I have three complaints. First, the font size needs to be able to be increased, similar to the font capabilities in my Kindle app. The maximum font size is not large enough for readers with vision difficulties. My other request is to have more videos of stories with the reporters telling their story behind the article. Last but not least involves forwarding an article to a non subscriber of WSJ. Many of my friends receive the article, but are only able to read the first paragraph or so of the article, before they are asked to sign up for a subscription. Because of this I no longer forward articles to anyone. This is the complete opposite of the New York Times app, where every article is forwarded in its' entirety.

Great app for reading the WSJ, but they need to include classifieds.. The latest version is just terrible. Very slow to load, and all the enhancements must have been made by some web developer who never actually read a real newspaper. If it wasn't free because of my paper subscription at home I would just dump it. As it is, sometimes I can enjoy the paper while I travel the globe, but I have to really plan my downloads to give them enough time to complete when using hotel level Internet access. The first versions of this service were great...to bad. It's getting better, but I still never know when the issues are completely downloaded. Many times I'm sitting in the airplane and find that half an issue is missing even though I spent an hour at home on my FIOS trying to download all the editions. I wish they would include all the classified sections available on my printed version. Like I said it's better then it was a year ago, but still more geek oriented then for real readers.

Difficult to access the App regularly. App on my phone keeps on asking me to enter my login details every time I try to read WSJ. If I don’t use the App on daily basis and miss few days of not using then it locks me out and treats me as a new user with no history or account when I try to use the app again. This should not happen given the app is in my own iPhone and my subscription fee is paid then I should not be locked out as a punishment for not using the app on a daily basis. I have had the Bloomberg Business News App on my phone for over a year now and I never had a similar problem with it. My user experience with Bloomberg’s app on my phone is much more smoother and easier than this problematic WSJ app. If problem continues I will then end my subscription. I hope IT team at WSJ see this customer feedback. Thank you!

Tell me more. This version is improved but not enough to catch rivals New York Times and Washington Post (both of which I also subscribe to). For what it’s worth, I think that’s the Times has relinquished first place to the newly written Washington Post app. The Post has superior graphics and at-a-glance information that allows it to just nose out the Times in this race. Sadly, the Journal is a distant third. I’m not sure why the Wall Street Journal still refuses to add bylines to the story titles and synopses. I know which Writers I am interested in reading and wish that I didn’t have to click through to each story only to find that it is not what I’m looking for. It could easily be accomplished by providing me with more information in the at-a-glance profile. While we are on the subject, in the Opinion section, the headlines and very short synopses are rarely enough to tell me what I need to know.

What did you do to this app? (re-updated). Re-update: Had enough. My kid could make a better app than this. No point in restating the comments made by others. Just sort the reviews by most recent to quickly get a sense of the issues, user frustration and sheer amazement that they broke one of the best apps out there! Update: Upgrading my review to 2 stars. The latest update is an improvement, but still has a long way to go to be as good as the old edition that everyone is asking for. I like to read the “Print Edition” of the app, so my comments are focused on this part of the app. Still no ability to swipe from section to section. Still no ability to read prior editions. But the biggest issue is that today’s print edition on the iPad is not really today’s hard copy print edition. I compared the hard copy paper to the iPad version. There are articles in the paper that are not in the iPad. And vice verse. Not good or trustworthy. Honestly, you broke my favorite app! Now it is unreadable. Why? Makes no sense. Please roll back the change and leave the old version as is.

Very Good, But a Few Glitches.. App is much better than the version I reviewed earlier. The only technical problem it has is that occasionally it doesn’t load when I open it, giving me an “Unknown Error” message. However, simply closing out of the app and reopening it always fixes that. I do have two small issues with the changes they made some tim ago in the navigation menus. It used to be that when you were in a particular section, there was a side menu that would give a thumbnail of each story in the section. It was very useful in helping you skip through a section reading only the pieces that interested you. Now, each section has its own “front page” with the story info, but the side menu is gone. That means you have to either cycle through all the stories in the section or go back to the front page after each one to find the next one you wanted to read. My other issue in navigation also deals with the “front pages” of the section. The layout on the page doesn’t necessarily correspond with the order of the articles. Thus, it is often possible to click on the first story on the “front page,” go through the section by clicking “Next Article” after each story, and miss an article that was actually placed BEFORE the “lead story.” Without from these minor issues, the app would deserve a 5-star rating in my book.

Back on track to be a killer app. Updated review 10/20: I’m incredibly impressed with the response from the WSJ Digital team. After writing a negative review, I received a note from the development team and was told to expect changes over time to bring back favored components of the prior user experience. That’s exactly what they have done with the App releases over the last few weeks. On todays update 10/20 they brought back the previous issue technology. I’m hopeful they allow more of the app to be available offline as I fly often and do not always have reliable internet. I’m taking my rating from 1 to 4 stars with the expectation they will continue to make improvements and bring back what was missing. I need a few days with the app to assess usability and expect will be revising my rating even higher. I work in technology and my assumption is these changes were either planned or there was a desire to scale back tech support costs with the versions released a month or so ago. Either way, the WSJ Digital team is clearly responsive and I’m sure the app will get back to being an improved version of the killer app it has been. Thank you! Previous review 9/23: I’ve been using the WSJ since it launched. I’m incredibly disappointed to see they dropped the issues section. I’m unsure what will be available offline now. This feature was helpful for traveling.

Good but can be better. So I’ve been using the app for 2 years now. First, the live updates portion of news needs to be more seamlessly integrated in the app. Not only does it open a new window within the app but it’s so glitchy and hard to navigate. When I try to close that window I have to press “close” many times a before it actually closes. So annoying. Second - god forbid that you accidentally move your phone landscape because it messes up the WSJ app. It messes with the font and crops some things. I have the latest iPhone as well and I always update app. Anyways, annoying small features like that only become apparent and more frustrating and you continue to use the app. Other features are good but sometimes I wonder why I just don’t log into the web version of this since at least that’s excellent. I’ll experiment and keep you posted.

To the point, every important point.. Hard news without a bias, cutting no slack to anyone. Editorials thorough and substantiated, written in excellent English. Besides providing information it is a very good tool to improve one's vocabulary. Rich in the use of the English language not just describes facts but enhances the reading experience. Writers knowledgeable of world history are able to provide an historical dimension to news analysis, relating the consequences of similar events elsewhere globally. WSJ provides perspective not easily found in other media. I often read articles by the Editorial Board and some contributors twice: once for the analysis value and a second time to enjoy (and attempt to learn) the beauty of their vocabulary and grammar. The penmanship of some of their writers often convey complex reporting into short, self-evident text by mastering the language in a thorough understanding of history, psychology and sociology: human nature with a historical, cultural and geographical context.

Easy to navigate and great presentation. I use the NYT and WP apps, but this app in my opinion does the best job at making the daily paper edition and the individual stories flow well together. It feels like a hybrid between the news paper articles and stories that are posted individually or previous stories. Each day it prompts you with the option to view the current edition of the paper. This feature is always helpful to keep up to date and not have to hunt for the newest articles. Very well constructed with the quick stock views and the different categories that provide a deeper look at a variety of topics. The stock view is an awesome feature and useful for those who even don’t work with economics or finance. The content is very well written of course. Overall it’s a great app with great writers, clearly identified daily paper editions and a very useful stock viewing feature.

Fake news. Editorial board article calling for Trump to resign. Opinion based and not accurate about our right to protest peacefully. President Trump did not incite or call supporters to breech the Capitol by saying go to the Capitol. Your article sounds like incitement to me, not Americans gathering to say we reject the stolen, corrupt elections. Narrow minded news projects their narratives as news instead of investigating and reporting actual events and facts. Where’s connection to Antiafa , fist in air person posing as Trump supporter perhaps? Why were unarmed people not quickly removed? Staged coup by swamp creatures perhaps? Why are questions still unreported? Why was a shot fired in crowd , recorded by someone in that crowd? Who recorded it? Why was that women shot? Many questions unanswered. Conclusion is given though by your call to “remove” our duly elected President before the rightful end of his term! Seems You are trying to sway results rather than report events so people can be legitimately be informed to form their own opinions. And we pay you for this? No more, cancelling my subscription. Based on hold time to do this , I feel I am not alone! Cancel culture works both ways. Cancelling my subscription is long overdue.

Enjoy the WSJ 2 Ways. An almost sixty year habit is very hard to break..... I started reading the middle column of the Journal as a young teenager. My grandmother always had a subscription to better follow the market and her investments. With a forty plus year in the brokerage business, the first thing I did every morning was grab a cup of coffee and read the Journal. Now, in retirement, I very much enjoy reading through the print edition each day. There is something about having the physical paper in hand and turning the pages that I really like. The paper has expanded its scope with more general news, sports, color pictures and human interest stories. With the advent of the digital edition, there are opportunities for more pictures and perhaps more detail in the articles as space is not as critical as in the print copy. I would like to see more pictures. For example, in the My Ride feature you could easily have more than the one or two —as In today’s digital version— .

Decent news app. Update on the newest update. Running a VPN is the only way to use the app. BUT, the latest news feature doesn’t work. To get it to work and show the latest news, go to Profile, scroll down and choose reset content. Really wish WSJ could get its act together and build a quality app. Update: The new app is OK, better on the iPad that they iPhone. The BIG CON: It is FULL of ads and they are beyond obnoxious. They hog data and drain my battery ridiculously quickly, especially on my cell. (In fact, I strongly recommend against installing the WSJ app on an iPhone, at least don’t do it if you value your battery life.) The video ads are the worst. Overall, the barrage of intrusive ads and non-stop pop-ups are ridiculous. This is what I would expect from a free news service, not a very pricy journal. Shame on WSJ. The new app works moderately well, although it is still sluggish. Must say, I did not appreciate having the previous app disabled without prior notification, then having to hunt for the new app. WSJ tech support had no idea what had happened to the app.

Review. The Wsj online used to be so difficult! On occasion I would try to email a specific article or editorial to an interested friend and found that process almost impossible . It is now almost an effortless task, thereby vastly improving my personal enjoyment of reading the Journal daily. Thank you for “getting this right! “ Linda Arey Skladany. PS it is hard to figure out how to get back to earlier issues, however. Whenever I try to do that I struggle and usually finally “stumble” on how to do it. It seems to me that that feature could certainly be simplified! Thanks At times it seems too difficult and occasionally impossible to find specific articles. When I try to access WSJ on my I phone; I have to go thru the “rigamarole” of signing in. It is cumbersome and time consuming. I would like accessibility on my I phone to be as easy as on my I pad! Thanks

Reporting the news. The news has lost it’s way in these later days. News is reporting what has happen. Opinions are articles about what a reporter thinks about the news. Now days these two pieces of writing have merged into the same article. Give us the news in the article and then tell us what you think is going to happen because of the news. An example is the tariff being put on some things being shipped into this country. The articles reporting the tariff also try to tell us how a tariff is going to harm our nation. What you think is gaining to happen is conjecture not fact or news. The reporter has no facts to back up the effect of what is going to happen only their opinion. I can name others but the point would be the same. We don’t know what the effect or the unforeseen consequences of many decisions made on a daily basis. I could go on about many other similar issues but that is not necessary the response is the same. I understand and believe this world has become very interdependent on each other and will continue to be even more in the days and years to come. This has and will continue to help others and other countries improve the standards of the people around the world. Please report the news facts. Then if you want tell us what you feel about the news and what is going to happen in the opinion section of the news. Be sure to report, when the effect is known, how accurate your opinion was.

WSJ app. Overall very good with bonus color pictures. Would be better if every section paralleled the print edition so that a reader could easily find an article that they might have noticed or partially read at breakfast in the print edition and want to catch up on later in the day. Sometimes it is very difficult as the name of the article might be listed differently or the sections in the paper do not match those on the app. Also an article might be in a section like Off Duty or Review but those headings are not listed in the sections. Same complain as my last review but so far no change. So far no response to the above suggestions and my difficulty finding articles on line persists! See above; still hard to find article I’m reading from the paper edition on the digital edition to continue or forward. The sections and sometime titles do not match up. PLEASE; GREATER CONTINUITY!!!!

WSJ App survey. WSJ App is practical to use meaning one can click on an article and read ( I am subscriber to digital and daily delivery paper ) However it does not “ flow “ from section to section as facile as I would like. Example. I can click on say page 1 and read articles but it took me a bit to understand to keep clicking to Next article to read cover to cover first news section as in daily paper One can click any immediate new headline article on first digital page and that is the main news update -but sometime way digital issue is I miss certain in depth articles or major byline writers like Gerald Seib because that article is not listed on main page or the major news update and there is no listing I. Each digital section of articles. Example Gerald Seib is on page 4 of digital issue. Love the WSJ. Would like to see the above minor improvement.

A way to mute videos and close caption. The photos of the day was the best part. Please return. And add more nature photos. When I read part of an article, then click to get the whole article, I have trouble finding where I left off. A pointer or other indicator would help. After I scroll and stop at an article to read it, the page will jump up or down and I have to scroll back to the article. I love reading in the app because it stays at the same distance and is easier to see clearly. Sometimes I want to see the video without disturbing my neighbors. I still have the same problems. Either fix them or don’t ask me to rate the app. PLEASE let me see the video with CAPTIONS instead of sound. I want to know what was said WITHOUT hearing it. SEE ABOVE '!'!'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why do you keep asking for ratings when you don’t change anything that is on my list of improvements. SEE ABOVE AGAIN!!!!

Useful news source but annoying app that keeps asking for reviews. Stop with the review requests already. They’re annoying. So sick of waiting while it goes through the same slow startup sequence every time, "No new content is available", "New issue is available", "Do you want to go to new issue?" Duh. No, I opened this newsreader so I could read yesterday's news. Come on people. I subscribe to the WSJ because I want to read today's news. Next comes the big wait. I am staring at a page of issue icons. Slowly they click from grey to a big icon, all of them except today's edition. Then I just wait. And wait. And wait. And take out my iPhone, unlock it, navigate to the WSJ app, fire up the app, do a refresh, and start reading the news. Meanwhile, my iPad is still waiting. News sites web pages open in milliseconds. Why do we have to wait while the newsreader clunks though this dumb process every time it loads? Another big complaint: the separation of web subscriptions from app subscriptions and inability of a way to conveniently view WSJ URLs on mobile devices. I really object to being asked to pay twice for the same content. Frequently see pointers to WSJ content on feeds like Twitter, but when you click on them, they send you to a paywall even though you have a mobile subscription. If you really want to view the content, you have to switch to the WSJ app and search for the content. Stupid.

Excellent app and very good information. October 2018 Back to 5 stars. The app has been operating reliably for months on all my IOS devices. The quality of the news remains excellent. Also, the effort to provide balanced reporting is admirable. May 2018 - Problems with execution. Drop 2 stars. The latest update to the WSJ app will not activate from the background state on my iPad Pro ... spinning spiky wheel ... so I must turn the app off and re-invoke it. The news is still very good. February 2018 - My past reviews have focused on the operation of the WSJ app. It continues to be well supported and I like the way it serves up information needed to become a properly informed citizen. The variety, accuracy, and depth of the information and analysis is what makes this service so valuable. June 2017 - Confirming my review from 2 years ago. WSJ continues to support its app. It has gone through some rough patches in the past 24 months, but it is currently working quite well. ~June 2015 - I wrote: I've been using this app since it first came out. This is the most reliable and useable version to date. It provides quick access to all articles through a simple indexing system, it doesn't randomly crash, the user interface is much more predictable and less likely to take me to some random place due to a finger brush. It's about time.

The app is ok but had some glitches. * updated. It’s slightly quicker than going to the website which is also pretty mobile friendly so the only reason I really use the app is for the quick stock quotes which is less fast then Apple stocks feature but gives you more indexes and stories from WSJ. Having said all that the app is just ok. Oh On top of that at least a few times a week the market info just will not load. *updated the app is functioning pretty glitch free, the dark mode is a eye saver when reading early morning (thank you). It a quicker way to just check stories/business news and real time market updates. It still doesn’t have all the features of the website. You can’t access your subscription info in the app and it sends you to the website which is Very hard to navigate to. The app also lacks a comment section like the website

Good but no ability to manage subscription. Reading news works fine. Has lots of nice features but nothing whatsoever to manage subscription! Automatically switched me from trial to high monthly fee with no notice. Why not use the app to advise subscribers of upcoming options BEFORE charging credit card for most expensive route? Why not just get with current decade and allow subscribers to manage their subscription in the subscription app? Won’t allow you to change, you must call in. After you call in, they then need to call yet another department to find out if that department is open at 8:30 AM. Really? Your customer service department does not know if the subscription department is open? These are old tactics that I think would be beneath the WSJ. But so be it, if you decide to purposefully program your apps this way, then I don’t feel like you really care about your customers. Since your other department was not open ( on a business day at 8:30 am) then my only option was to cancel both my subscriptions.

New WSJ App is terrible. The new WSJ app is unusable. It’s difficult to find articles, hard to see today’s news and even more difficult to find things that were in the days printed edition. And there seems to be no easy way to see a printed edition from a previous day. September 24th update… The latest update is still vastly worse than version 13 - the one we had back in August. In particular, the current version seems designed for a phone and takes no advantage of the beautiful display capabilities of an iPad. Problems in no particular order: 1. No ability to see past editions of the print edition. 2. No ability to download or read offline. 3. Some print edition articles are missing from the app. 4. It’s difficult to navigate to the different sections. The app completely misses the point of the “Wall Street Journal”. The Journal is a newspaper, not twitter/X. Newspapers have 500 plus years of “development”. The typefaces, layout, article lengths, etc. are all arranged around easy to digest bits of information, combined with a few in depth articles in each edition. This app was developed on the back of a napkin by inexperienced designers who don’t have a clue about their readership. Fortunately, I still receive the real printed paper on my driveway every morning. Now I read it. Other than getting ink on my fingers, the print edition is faster to scan, easier to read and contains much more information than the “app.” Even the ads in the print edition are better.

It's ok. Though I have owned and operated a small business for thirty plus years. Little I do or say will make any difference to the big picture. I react to it. I have subscribed to online way since it was available. I enjoy the information and the depth of some of the stories. I am an iPad newbie and this is a great way to continue to read the journal. It is too bad that ability to comment is not available through app format but after the recent difficulties WSJ has experienced maybe that is OK. I wrote this comment several years ago and I do not think the ‘Send’ button when tapped ever sent it. I still feel is is unfortunate that I can not comment through iPad format. Another comment: Having read the staff editorial about the petition, I have to say that now I feel I understand.... in the last year I have written two comments which were dinged by the censor for violating your rules on something. I found the guidelines, glanced through them, and was not able to discern what I had written that fell out of the parameters of decorum. I think I suggested that some one associated with the subject matter was stupid or incompetent. Maybe my remark was too conservative for the news minders. Funny how some of the discussions get pretty heated and are allowed to stand. Let’s see if the ‘Send’ button works today.

Progress, further to Go. I have enjoyed the changes WSJ online has made in the last 6 or so months. One feature that stands out is the ease of switching between editions; I can move from the Far East to Europe as they awake and markets open, then touch down in the US for some serious financial engineering. I suggest that the WSJ hurries and develops what the FT has, namely "Fast Markets," a vertically scrolling series of current news-making, market-influencing and corporately challenging short bits, that can then be expanded for more detail. I am substituting these words for the previous last paragraph to say that I agree with each other comment here, but not the one I erased, simply because I don’t use that feature. I am a financial advisor, and a trader who depends on fundamentals. I have “Fast FT” open on my screens, and sometimes have the WSJ open to the markets front page, hoping to find intraday news. I would love it if you all got better at that.

WSJ online is great but could use some improvements. I am a long term subscriber and enjoy the content of the WSJ. I always looked for the early morning delivery of my print newspapers to begin my day. A couple of months ago an apparent change in the delivery process changed the time of delivery from 4:30 to 8 AM. Too late for me. So I began using the WSJ app on my Ipad regularly and exclusively. I still get the print newspapers for my wife to read in the evening after her extremely busy work day, but I am converted. She much prefers the print edition. Some suggested improvements: Make it easier to get back to the last page viewed in case of a jump to a different section. I sometimes do something that jumps to a different section and would like to have a return to last page option instead of having to renavigate to it. Why all of the blank spaces? I like the access to the NY section, even in California we like to see the NY section not in the print edition. But why not the ‘Best of the web today’ too? I always start with the daily edition instead of the latest news edition because I am afraid of missing something or repeated articles later. Why not have an option to view latest news articles in isolation from the current editions? In general though I appreciate the speed of viewing articles over the print edition and having a few extras also like video clips. Keep up the good job.

Concise, informative.. Concisely informative. Valuable and timely. Pet peeve: Fix the thing that tries to make me logConcisely informative. Valuable and timely. Pet peeve: Fix the thing that tries to make me log on every single time I click on the WSJ email. It launches to a landing page for new customers, I expect all apps to work correctly and seamlessly with the options of sign . Using google or Facebook but only ONCE. Not everytime I use the app. It detracts from a great app and has often made me just close the app and go to a different site for my news brief on every single time I click on the WSJ email.

Great app...missing one feature. The WSJ app is excellent for the ability to read the daily edition either page by page, front to back, or to search and locate just specific sections or articles. Excellent interface and easy function. The only thing that drives me nuts is the ability to share a article with someone who doesn’t have a subscription. If this is possible directly, I haven’t figured it out. What I can share is a link to the article that stops mid-paragraph and tells the recipient essentially “na na na, buy a subscription if you want to read this...” Respectfully to the WSJ folks, you might generate more subscribers from folks who get to read a shared article than you will with this strategy. I understand the concern about sharing whole editions or sections. So, set a share limit... If I can already do this, somebody please tell me how!!

Content Great, iPad app so so. I love the WSJ. I find it’s content to be excellent, mostly unbiased, and more thorough than most sources out there. I started subscribing about 3 years ago and haven’t looked back. BUT one thing that could use some work is the app, especially the iPad app. Yes you can easily flip from through the different sections, from News, to US News, to Technology. Search is awesome. However, I find I miss content when I open the app and start to read articles - the articles do not stand out like they do in the paper version. When i travel I’ll often get the paper version, I can easily find articles I like, many of which show up in blogs and posts that day. But when I only use the iPad or iPhone version, I see interesting articles in blogs and posts and I find myself thinking, how did I miss that article? I can easily search for it and find it but would love for articles to pop like they do in the paper version.

Decent Content, App And Digital Format Needs Some Finesse. The digital content is decent. They do get a little too social / ESG’y in some of the articles, but on whole much better than other sources. I appreciate the Editorial Opinion Section greatly. The application however is not up to my spec and needs some finesse. Breaking news is delivered through the app then launched in the embedded browser. I found it required me to sign in again(recall this being problematic but is a bit easier recently). While not a deal breaker the fact that it switches to a white background and black fine line font makes night reading at problematic. I do prefer a format that is oriented like a printed edition where I can select an edition by date. The topical navigation within a date would be better. It is unfortunate that when reading a fresh article, related articles from way back surface. For the full subscription price ads are ridiculous & unnecessary. The ads are not intrusive, but when going from the introductory $4 price to $39 price I don’t like them. Also one cannot manage your subscription digitally. One can sign up digitally very easily, but requires a call in during specific hours to cancel. This type of blatant make it harder to cancel is dumb and a practice I was shocked to experience. i did call in to cancel and they gave me the intro rate for 6 more months but i did just pay $39. meh i would love to to see a print orientation and dated edition format.

Doesn’t open anymore. The digital version on the WSJ used to be a pleasure to use. The months long “improvement” process has resulted in significant slowing of the app as well as bizarre relocations of search functions back and forth across the page. Now, it simply won’t work. I have deleted and reinstalled the app but it remains nonfunctional. Fortunately, I still have the traditional newspaper. Addendum: so the app now works again but still has very frustrating features. For example, when it opens, it displays the previous day’s edition, not the current one. Second, it remains very slow to open page 1 (tho possibly not AS slow as it was). Articles are opening more consistently-previously, you could try to open an article and it would just freeze-that seems better. Fact remains, what was a smooth running, reliable and pleasurable experience has been significantly degraded. They keep talking about “improving” the product but if they were serious, they would go back to square one.

Meh. I’m glad there is a WSJ for portable devices as I no longer read the paper version of any newspaper. The on line WSJ should have the classified ads the print edition has. It was a huge mistake to not include them. The print size in the classic portrayal in the on line version is too small and there is no function to expand it. Also, and this has nothing to do with the online WSJ per se, the Journal has clearly started to tilt left. I do not like this at all and I’ve shifted my preferences towards the N.Y. Post as a result. I would have thought this horrifying not that long ago. The worst part of the “New WSJ” is the reader commenting function (normally my favorite part). First I can’t comment on articles in the WSJ on line version for portable devices. Second, and this is my biggest disappointment, the Journal’s commenting practices are biased to the left and suppress free speech. The WSJ also allows obviously leftest trolls to comment all they want. I’m very disappointed. George Skakel a subscriber since the mid 1970’s

The sticky irritating ads are Driving me crazy. I pay good money for the online paper. I am ok with you putting ads into the online paper but the increasing use of ads that do not go away make me very mad. While I am at it I will also say the ads that share part of a page with an article and move around or behave in other ways to get the readers attention are VERY irritating. I am a long time reader — since 1984. You are destroying your brand in my eyes. I used to love the WSJ. I no longer do. Unbelievable that the people in charge of the brand.... yes that includes the CEO and publisher let this happen. Think of great brands — they do not let this happen. You are no longer a great brand. You have trashed it. Congratulations!!!! Now 4 days later..... Mr publisher I do not pay you good money every month for you to take me hostage! Just now while reading Peggy Nonan’s column I was held hostage by an ad for National Geographic— something about 4,000,000 free coins— the only way out was to kill the app and start over. Not only are you destroying your brand you are dragging others like Nat Geo down with you ... good work!!!

Glitchy for subscriptions. App works 50% of the time. When it works the app is great and love being able to keep up on current events and trends. However even though I pay for a subscription the app doesn’t always register that I do. I will get a notification about a new article and if I try to read it then it tells me I must subscribe monthly and it will billed to my Apple account. My subscription is through the WSJ website directly so not sure why the app and the website are not syncing properly. I try restoring purchases on the app to get it to identify my subscription and tells me there isn’t one present. But if I sign in on my computer I can read the article just fines. The developers need to look into this issue! It really affects the user experience when you can’t view the articles you pay to read. I’m giving this a one star because while the app works great when it identifies your subscription. It’s basically useless when it doesn’t. Can’t select anything without it telling me to sign up for a new subscription.

WSJ is the single best news source out there, app is very good. The most unbiased news source available today and a rock solid app. Two app related items prevent it from getting the 5th star. 1. Some articles launch to a web page at the WSJ instead of staying within the app. The page will not give me the complete article … asking me to log in … when I am already logged in. I can work around this by hitting an icon in the upper right corner which provides access to the complete article … still on the web. I can then click the ‘open’ for the app in the upper bar to get back into the app with the complete article. But why is all that necessary? Just provide the entire article in the app the first time around. 2. Access to comments is either not here in the app … or not easy to access.

Great Way To Stay Informed. If you’re under 25, don’t read this review. Okay, so call me a dinosaur but there’s no experience quite like reading a real newspaper, especially a grand paper like the WSJ. (And a special shout-out to its level-headed editorial board.) Having said that, I’ve been enjoying the WSJ app on my iPad every morning for at least several years and It kills me to admit that I now choose the app over reading the physical paper, which is delivered to my door. True, my iPad’s small format simply cannot replicate the ‘grandeur’ of the large printed page, but the other advantages are too numerous. I’ll try to list some of my favorite features (in random order): ‘Anywhere’ access, live video feeds, photo arrays, instant dictionary, real-time news updates and push alerts, no ink on my fingers, adjustable image size, Internet hyperlinks, etc. I deducted one star only because the real newspaper experience cannot be duplicated... Unless maybe I get one of those big iPad Pros!

iPad changes 2023. The WSJ iPad app used to be my go to for news, the separate sections and more. The recent changes create a poor customer user experience as articles from previous weeks and days clog the most recent stories and create a very uneven news read. Additionally when there are delivery delays I could always go to the app as a stop gap - something I can no longer do. I will revisit my subscription as the digital access is no longer attractive. I am updating this review as the Print Edition app does not update - I have closed and refreshed repeatedly and it still shows yesterday’s paper. This WSJ app does not show the full front page of the print edition, but rather a limited version. I even googled print edition today and it showed me todays front page visually, but when I clicked through to eventually end up at the WSJ Print app it still showed yesterday’s edition. Not sure what the issue is but it is certainly not being addressed or fixed. What a shame - it wasn’t broken.

Most irritating iPhone app ever experienced. This was the most irritating app on my iPhone before I deleted it. It’s very sad because the app itself is very well done in many ways, but the manager who decided on the offensive and persistently harassing security features completely ruined the experience for me. It is literally the worst experience of my life on an iPhone app. I only tried to access the WSJ on my iPhone 2-3 times a month, and apparently once per month, it is necessary to re-authenticate from scratch, starting with your entire email address, without any option for voice entry, and no autocompletion like everybody else has. You really have the type the entire thing one character at a time, on your phone, with your thumb, in many cases while you’re holding the phone with the rest of your hand, etc. Then of course there is the password entry. Having to do this on the order of every time I tried to use it simply offended me to the point that I had to delete the app for health reasons if nothing else. LOOK AT WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE DOES AND STOP BEING RIDICULOUS.

Ok but not great. I read the content in the WSJ via the app every day, but the app functionality and support is not great. Positives are that the content can all be downloaded every day (which is critical for commuters like me who read on the train - some other newspaper apps have to be online to access full articles), articles are well organized and easy to access, and it’s easy to see different levels of detail on each article (headlines, the first few paragraphs, full articles). Negatives are that I can’t find a list of companies mentioned in the paper each day (like I can in the hard copy), I can’t find a market summary page (showing various equity, fixed income, commodity, and currency indices), and the online support is AWFUL. I’ve submitted several questions/issues online only to receive automated responses but ZERO follow up after that. I’ve even reached out several times on certain issues and have had the same, unhelpful response. It’s basically a “black box” once you subscribe.

Does its job, but could be better. Pros: Lets me read the WSJ Keeps me logged in Allows me to set notifications for new articles by my favorite writers Very fast Cons: I have no idea what the My WSJ tab is for - it shows me articles I’ve already read, doesn’t prioritize or necessarily even show my favorite writers/columns The recipe columns are a pain - I emailed a good one to myself but I’m not logged into WSJ on my computer so came back to the app and searched for the column - the recipe part is no longer there, only the article around the recipe is available. Guess I won’t be making that for dinner... The search is not good - you have to have the exact word in the title (‘health’ doesn’t return ‘healthy’ articles) It’s not always obvious which articles are videos (I’m reading the news in the morning with my coffee - not at my most awake). I never want to watch a video, so I wish I could either filter them out of the home page or at least just start the headline with ‘Video:’ so I don’t click on it. It’s not clear how the articles are shown on the homepage; it mostly shows the same things to my husband and me on our 2 devices, but sometimes I’ll see an article he didn’t. Is it just a timing thing that the article was posted 2 minutes after he opened the app? Apple News shows some articles earlier than the WSJ app, which makes no sense to me - I’m paying for WSJ directly, shouldn’t I get the article at the same time as it’s in my Apple feed?

WSJ app. I have been a user of the WSJ app since I bought my first IPAD about seven years ago. I love the content. I do not like the current layout. I find myself starting to read articles and realizing that I had already read them the day before. All articles should have time and date stamps. I think there should also be a way to select how much data should be downloaded when operated on cellular. WSJ is very large and can chew up your data plan as quickly as videos do. It should show headlines and download the article if you choose to read it. A choice could also be offered to download the whole paper. Right now I am having problems with the App on my iPhone X. It totally stopped working for 3 weeks. I spoke with tech support, but received no guidance of when to expect a resolution. On June 11, 2018 I happened to try it again; it worked! However now, 2 days later, I find it won’t show any newer content than what it downloaded the day it started working again.

Horrible redesign that makes app almost worthless. Final update: Things are pretty good now, thankfully! The app works mostly as it used to, though it does feel rather spare in some ways. Still, it’s a pleasure to read the paper on the app again. And yes, I’ve renewed my subscription lol. Update: Print edition section isn‘t updating! Design has improved a little, but only by moving back toward the great design they ditched for who-knows-what-reason. What was once an excellent app is now little more than a sandwich board full of shouted headlines, with no clear sense of story organization by time or topic. I‘ve subscribed for almost twenty years, so I’ll give them a few months to correct this debacle. But if it‘s not changed by the time my subscription is up for renewal, then I‘ll cancel (making note on my calendar as I speak). I can always read it on my Apple News plus account anyway…

Most articles. 85%. Too many articles not enough time. Agree. Could you summarize each day’s 5 to 10 main points on page one? Give the reader a chance to have broad knowledge of significant issues that are or could impact us in a very large way. If most of us have this we will have this most conversations will have more meaning. Implications are many for our personal and business lives. The WSJ is extremely well written compared to other sources of news and is often considered “the authority”on major issues. Our world is increasingly challenging. Please help us understand it more efficiently and with more depth. This would require huge amounts of time, human and technological resources. I sincerely hope that you evaluate this possibility. The world needs a lot of change and WSJ is in a place to help make this happen. Keep on plugging!

Opinions (and layout of news) lack context. I’ve been on a spree of comparing so many news sources, and it’s great that WSJ allows itself to be free to access for my university through the app. (The feature of making an account and being able to see articles through their respective app thanks to our school account was easier to set up than the Washington Post, but more difficult to set up than The New York Times.) Unfortunately, WSJ has been my least favorite source of the upper-echelon news sources. The news I find to be a scramble to mix of important and unimportant stories on the main page, and important stories do not seem to have as easy of a way to catch up on them or have full context compared to NYT or Axios, for example. Most important to point out, though, is that the opinion section is completely useless. Opinions lack any good evidence; they seem like uninformed grumblings of people who haven’t even stopped to think about the context of the story. I did not just read one and come to this conclusion, I looked at them over and over. I don’t mind an opinion section that leans to the right — in fact I was looking forward to this — but the content is simply not high-quality in this section whatsoever. I appreciate that the Wall Street Journal is not sensational with its main news, and seems to report very factually. I just find it to be lacking compared to the other sources in its tier.

The last remaining news print worth reading.... Great journalism, adequate mix of topics with up to date news available e-readers. However, I do think personal opinion and bias is creeping into everyday articles. Many have been less than friendly and or fair to our current president. Please keep it neutral and within the op-ed sections. Would love to see more technical or science based articles. Please limit the full page advertising add.... it’s been a huge nuisance trying to advance pages while reading on an iPad. Too much, too often, I’m not even aware of the advertising firm... in fact, when I inadvertently try to advance but directed to a window of the advertiser, I’m upset. Reduce the size, use it sparingly! My last review and comment for a customer service agent to contact me fell in def ears! I’ve been a twenty year subscriber and is disappointing to not hear from you regarding dysfunctional subscription delivery and pricing, even though I’ve never received a paper copy!

Good information. The WSJ provides timely and useful updated information as the news breaks. An invaluable resource edited to meet the objectives. Sometimes they take on guest editorials not well grounded. Indeed I have found guest editorials grossly out of step with actuality but laden with both partisan misinformation and a misstatement of historical fact. I am writing you from Seoul Korea where as author of Abramson Lincoln’s Path to Reelection in 1864 I am addressing their newly formed Abraham Lincoln Society. Also met with member of their National Assembly as key members are involved in the Lincoln group.
