Moved back 10 years

Eliminated access to reader comments. Writers’ egos could not handle it. Blamed it on tech. Grow up!

App stinks. Content good.

Got zero response on fixes from non-bots. Good luck trying to get magazine version. It kicks you right out of the app and ask if you want to subscribe.

I’ve been a subscriber for 20+ years. Absolutely hate the new app! Loaded with headers. No distinctive type face nor coloration. Might as well be scrolling down a mid 1990’s www screen. Gaak.

The new look is ugly

I use to like the way the latest news looked, but they changed the whole layout to a green box layout. Removing until it looks better.

Great UI

New UI is amazing

Widget removal?

If the new update removed the widget, it sucks. Half of the reason I open this app is that I want to see the articles on my homepage. It’s very likely i downgrade my subscription.

The new app stinks, the old one was better

Try selecting the latest stories tab. Hasn’t had an update in 5 days. Great job Barrons! Much harder to find content. The old app was simple and worked. Change for change sake and made things worse.

Content does not load

After upgrading to this new app, content no longer loads on my iPhone.. I can view the content without problem on my PC

New App Downgrade

The app now displays a narrow column of news stories in the middle of the iPad. It used to take better advantage of the extra size of the iPad screen.

If It’s Not Broken Why Do You Have to Fix It?

I don’t like that apps are constantly redesigned and then it’s hard to find stuff.

I’m Diggin It

Well done Barron’s. It looks good and is easier to use. I can’t ask for much more. I do have this issue where it keeps telling me I have a payment issue to resolve. My card and info is current, I’ve checked on the website multiple times but I still get a notification every time I open the app that there is a pending payment issue that needs to be resolved. Please check it out for me! No other complaints though

Redesign is nice

Dark mode, watchlist news tab, better tab layout, nice clean graphs can id some key levels quickly, dark mode again,

ENABLE DARK MODE

Enable dark mode, it’s too bright for nighttime. It would be so easy to enable this.

Password again!?!

Why can’t they figure out a way to make it so I don’t have to sign in every day???? I have many news and magazine subscriptions, and this is the only one that stores much of its content somewhere else, then requiring a sign in daily. That is what really makes this app suck. The mediocre content and various errors and stuff don’t help either. But the constant log ins make it GARBAGE. Very close to cancelling.

Dark mode

This app lacks dark mode and the suggest an enhancement button doesn't work

Please implement universal links!

As title says. Please implement so that the link automatically pulls up the app. Otherwise it keeps opening safari and I’m asked to sign in non stop. Extremely annoying.

Completely broken

Error loading error all the time

Downloads broken

Just about to board a plane.

Before going into airplane mode, loaded Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, NY Times, and Barrons.

Page through every Barrons article, all content from March 14 2026 issue is there and displays content correctly.

Board plane, go into airplane mode.

Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, NY times display content correctly.

Barron’s displays Error loading content. On every tab, one every page. Same error I’ve been getting for over a year

I’m running the latest version of everything on an iPad.

A premium product developed by a team that can’t get the basics right. And does not appear to be trying or even acknowledge an issue, from what I can tell from release notes and all the app feedback.

Quit inflicting mediocrity on your customers and fix this. Please!

Add dark mode / Night time feature

Add dark mode / Night time feature

Downloads only work if connected

Downloaded on strong WiFi. Checked every page, content there. Get on plane, nothing there. Same old problem, never fixed. Running latest app version, latest iPadOS, logged out, logged back in, even deleted app and reloaded. Very repeatable problem that should be fixable. Financial Times remains the gold standard for downloads.
