User reviews

Thank you for finally updating the app.

The app is still a pain. When you try to change pages or resize a page to read it sometimes does it and sometimes it just does random things.
Very frustrating.
How do you look at your account?

Worst ap

Of all the apps I use this is the worst by far. Perhaps you should send you IT team to the offices of the WSJ and have them pick up some tips on how the app should work.

E edition of Beacon Journal

Enjoy all the options tp read the daily paper

New newspaper app

Your new app is not user friendly. It takes too long to get to the print page, when you try to scroll down to the bottom of the page it opens an article, when I try to print a crossword puzzle the print is too small. Pop up ads?? I liked the old app much better. I could read newspapers from all over the country, not now. Two thumbs down. I tried 10 nicknames but all were taken. How much time should I spend on that ?? Alan
