Decent content. Horrible app. Jumpy and disjointed. Even though I changed the refresh interval, the app takes me out of the section I am reading back to the very first "top story" nearly every time I leave an article. Blossoming but slowly loading ads cause articles to shift and jump as you are scrolling sections. Its like the app was a rushed high school programming assignment. No thought or refinement. WSJ just look at the google news app to see how it should be done, or the Times. I could understand and deal with it if it was free...

Nicely tabbed, but screwy categorization. I like the tabbed interface, nicely done. However, the number of tabs seems to ebb and flow. It starts with top stories then the next tab is Most Popular. What's the difference, or why have the Most Popular tab, in the precious real estate of a small screen, come second? I wonder who makes the call about what the top stories are. It makes me wonder, How do Commentaries become Top Stories, especially those that are entirely partisan? Also, how can the 'news' of a new section of the app (Virtual Reality Video from the Wall st Journal) be considered a Top Story? #screwycategorization Regarding the adverts, the subscriptions aren't free, far from it! But then I'm exposed to bandwidth and battery consuming advertising. They come at an increasing rate, it seems. Did I mention that my subscription is not free? There are slight, yet embarrassing formatting issues. Look no further than the bylines to find them. And finally, how do I get rid of the tab called New York? WSJ app developers: look at the BBC's app to learn how to allow users to customize tabs.

Not free as stated I really hate the old bait and switch. I was suprised when their app stated it was free so I dowoaded it. Turns out it's just a thirty day free trial, if you provide your credit card information, otherwise you get nothing at all. I would have actually paid, I used to like the WSJ, however I hate slimy tactics like these so much I will never read another WSJ paper or other. In fact I just went with, and paid for because they didn't try and trick me, The Investors Business Daily, the IBD is better anyway

Sign-in seems fixed I added this app to my phone today and when one pulls up it up for the first time just click on the 3 dots (android, at least) in the right upper corner, the usual place for option selection, and "log-in" will be one of the few choices. As I already had added a cell phone subscription to my one for print, simply putting in the user name and password achieved full access, and that stayed the default (no further sign-in needed) the next time I clicked on the WSJ icon. Whatever, my only gripe involves the subscription choices not bundling tablet with cell phone. Whatever..... Note if one doesn't want to get spammed daily with WSJ news digests, same as for Circa and many other sites, one has to opt-out - it's an automatic opt-in otherwise, per usual.

Not well thought off.... I recently updated and immediately went back to the old version....Looks like WSJ did not really provide a concise update to its app, as the only positive changes I noticed are appearance (looks more like Play Newsstand) and the ability to "download" the print edition. And I have the word in quotes, because you do NOT really download the paper! If you lose connection, you still see the endless circle loops! The app is far slower to load than the old one (takes many seconds, even via LTE or WiFi) and still does not download the content... How to make it better? Why don;t you guys look at the Kindle edition and try to replicate it? All subscribers need is to be able to download their paper every morning and read it on the train regardless of having an active connection or not! For live updates, we can still go to the website!!! On top of everything else, you advertised the "new" app, as if it would bring any meaningful upgrades..Well, apart from appearances, the app went south...Shame

A lot to like, but some serious flaws I like a lot about the new app - the look and feel and navigation work really well on my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet. But after spending about 30 minutes futilely trying to find a way to search for an article I contacted tech support and was told that the search function is no longer available on the android app. A newspaper app without a search function? Hard to believe. The app also forces a portrait orientation with the tablet's buttons on the left - the exact opposite of how I hold my tablet when using portrait orientation. And no way to use it in landscape mode. Search capability and orientation options should be no-brainer givens with any app, hard to believe WSJ would release their app without those capabilities.
