Don’t Do It!

Subscribing to this paper is like Hotel California - you can subscribe but never cancel. App is glitchy and you can’t manage your subscription AT ALL through it. If you want to spend two+ hours on the phone trying to cancel your subscription, then download away!

Worst News App

I subscribe to five newspapers and this is the worst of the bunch.

Wonderful to wake up and hold the paper with a hot cup of coffee.

Great newspaper!!

Good News App but Technical glitches

Good news app but many times asks to re-log in and won’t keep me logged in day to day. Also, when reading on an iPad, when scrolling down a page, it keeps jumping back up to the top, even if you try to hold the pages in place. Support at the WSJ are never able to help, except delete App and re-load, which I have done numerous times.

Can’t view stories after re-subscribing

I also deleted the app and reinstalled. No luck. For $30 per month this should be reliable
