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
Old news
It seems like a lot of the news in the paper is 2 days old and there is a lot of repetition in the articles. Sports section needs another feature writer or 2. It doesn’t seem to be organized like it once was
Average Website
This website could be a lot better starting with allowing readers to comment on some articles.
Clunky App
Inconsistent, freezes and refuses to get out of certain modes.
News, Late
I’m very surprised that an online version of the news cannot capture current news! Sports scores and articles regarding the game are not available if the game ends after nine or 10 o’clock?
Seems that it would be easy to have someone write an article remote so the results are available for subscribers in the morning.

Terrible
Zero stars. I’ve been a subscriber almost 40 years. I also subscribe to the Milwaukee Journal and Naples Daily News. Until about a year ago, all three newspapers used a similar e-edition format. WSJ switched to a different format (vendor?), the result has been a certified mess. Their new format has been inconsistent in it’s story highlighter. Now the
‘Next page” arrows don’t work. Combine this with their failed “newsvue” for local high school sports. Just a terrible app.

Disappointed
The latest update seems to have added problems to the e-edition. I tried to report the problem but only got an answer to close, remove and reload the app. This is unacceptable. There needs to be a better way to report and fix problems. There is a reason the overall app rating is so low. As more subscribers let go of the paper, a more robust e-edition needs to exist and be supported. Even after using it for several years I am disappointed. I cannot read the paper because there is an auto-move to the top of the screen. Please ask the programmer to work with the app prior to each release. This is not an unreasonable request.

Wisconsin State Journal has Outstanding Coverage
Wisconsin State Journal covers Madison news and the state of Wisconsin legislative issues thoroughly. Outstanding coverage of sports and Madison events. It provides adequate coverage of events in the adjacent communities of Middleton, Verona, Fitchburg and Sun Prairie, and Waunakee.
Your app stinks!!!!

WI STATE JOURNAL IS SCAM
First, they intentionally make it very difficult to cancel your subscription. You know how every other website has a “cancel subscription” button? WSJ doesn’t do that because that’d make it to easy for you. You have to call & jump through hoops for 39 minutes. Last week we got off the phone with the lady & she said “okay your subscription has been cancelled.” Suddenly today we see a pending charge for $29.99… not to mention their journalists write false/extremely exaggerated stories just to generate clicks. Terrible company. Super Scammy.

Long time reader
Wish I could pull current page to get to next page like my Milwaukee Journal. At least once a week your app has a glitch. Wish all articles could be double tapped to get just that article.
Terrible app
Poor design, unreliable and not user friendly. Why these companies don’t spend some of the money they are spending to promote this garbage on product testers during development, I’ll never understand.
Not it.
Making Wisconsin residence pay for something like this is just stupid. Restricting access to stories and articles is annoying and tbh just flat out stupid. Wisco residence pay taxes.. so why should we have to pay to hear or see local news that pertains to us. Ignorant.
Does not work
I just subscribed to the paper but the app does not work, even after several attempts
Quirky reading app
Today I only got half the newspaper. I usually spend about 5 minutes a day clicking past stories and content that I have already seen.
Need quick way to get to different sections.
There is no fast way to start reading SPORTS.
