great content, awful app
The audio read option is awesome, great articles, easy access, but has a glaring flaw: settings. For those of us who logon to READ the WSJ, we do NOT want to have a video automatically play. I absolutely HATE auto video. It's distracting from the READING an article. Why can't WSJ make this a setting that can be turned off like 99.9% of other content apps???

Turn off the autoplay
You gotta turn off the video auto play with sound. It’s obnoxious. Especially when your phone is on silent. Turn it off.
Ads playing
Had wsj for years. Somewhat recently, maybe months or so, the ads have started to automatically play with sound. It's so abrupt and jarring, and plays noise publicly, I'm about to uninstall and unsubscribe.
Even without sound, for over a year, the auto play has been pausing whatever I'm listening to in the background automatically. Put a setting in to turn it off.

“Restore Purchase”
Since the price hike ($45 ☠️), the app won’t let you read any news articles unless you subscribe or restore purchase. I’ve been loyal to this company for years and have resubscribed. It still won’t let me view any news - just takes me back to the screen to “restore purchase”. If this isn’t fixed within the week, I’m going to delete WSJ and move on to some other news source.

Ads too touch sensitive!
Your overly touch sensitive ads make reading articles in the app an exercise in frustration. Tone down the sensitivity to match your competitors please. I don’t like constantly popping up new ad windows which take me outside your app involuntarily.
