Works well
Nice simple app, with hyperlocal investigative journalism.
Response from developer
We appreciate the positive review! Thank you for taking the time to let us know you’re enjoying the app.
Body font needs to be adjustable
Though the settings provide for font size adjustments, it only adjusts the heading text and not the body. This should be resolved to make the articles easily readable by customers with less than perfect eyesight.
Too sensitive on iPad Pro
I have an iPad Pro with S/W version 15.2.1. The ability to move from page to page is totally annoying as I cannot go from page to page without it jumping back to the previous page. It is extremely erratic. It was a continuing problem well before V15. I view on my Pro in the horizontal mode.
Just us the website
This app does not work to read the news. If you click on a story a page full of ads pops up. Might as well use the browser on your phone and not waste the space on your phone for this app.
No Landscape Mode
Why any app created in the last five years would not have a landscape mode is incomprehensible. I always use landscape mode on my iPad and rotating to read the W-S Journal is annoying. Get with the program coders!
Fourth Estate Sale
One of the worst examples of leftist pandering in recent times. Their op-ed page prints mainly diatribes so disrespectful of a sitting President that at times they tread a very fine line between poor taste and downright treason. Too bad I don’t own a pet shop. Your circulation would increase dramatically.

Pretty Good App, But. . . .
I have used the app for a while. The old version took you to a browser for the e-edition. The new one loads in in-app which is nice, but it does not allow you to rotate the device and view the edition in landscape mode. I find this annoying as I read the e-edition on my iPad and prefer landscape mode for this.

I love the Journal, but this App doesn’t cut it.
Barely works at all on my iPhone X. It is extremely buggy and almost always freezes while linking to stories from notifications. I would have deleted the App ages ago if I wasn’t invested in the local news.
Well done local paper
The “Journal” is doing a good job as a local paper. It covers local, regional, and state matters well, with sufficient national and international coverage. It remains a broad spectrum publication, with a business page; and an editorial section with its opinions, and letters, and columns. It has weekly sections on food, gardening, the home place, the arts, and expanded editorial and business coverage. Sports coverage, particularly local, is thorough, but national sports are not shorted. The paper offers daily puzzles and comics for its readers’ diversion and entertainment. It is worth the subscription.

Subscription Needed?
Requires monthly subscription if you view more than a preset number of stories a month including including obituaries. This is on top of the revenue they make from the Ads within the app. Really?
W-S Journal
Excellent source for information on my home town.
Why divert us to the web?
Put complete articles in app. Worst news app ever
WSJ App
Quick look, concise, and timely updates
Good app for local news
Good app that gives a quick news, weather and other options for people to access.
WS Journal
Great, up to the minute unbiased reporting
My go to app for local news!
WSJ does a great job of keeping up-to-date on breaking news and local sports.
Keep up with my home town, convenient
Love the app. I read the Journal when I'm out of town. Also, I'm retired, so even when I am at home, if I don't want to go out and get the paper in the freezing dark, I can read it in bed from my tablet in comfort.
Good Effort
Easy to read and find the day's stories. If only the print edition would have a nameplate to reflect the importance of this outstanding daily.
Cappy
I would love for the App to display the paper just like the one that comes to my door, or, give us the option of display
WSJ
Great way to keep up with local news
