User Reviews

Reviews show a mixed experience. The WSJ Android app is praised for strong, in-depth journalism and audio listening, but it is plagued by stability and sign-in problems, poor in-app reading with redirects to web pages, missing offline features, and limited audio controls. Users cite crashes, login loops, and subscription issues, with many preferring the website for reliability.

Pros

Strong depth and quality of analysis/presentation across topics.
Ability to listen to articles (audio playback) is a valued feature.
WSJ brand credibility as a trusted news source in contrast to some apps.

Cons

Frequent crashes and unresponsiveness after updates (crashes, freezes, not responding).
Sign-in/login problems and subscription management issues (loops, re-addition, charges).
In-app reading often loads as web pages rather than a native reader (redirects/cookies prompts).
Missing offline reading and print edition access (no offline mode; print edition visibility broken).
Audio playback limitations: no automatic playback across saved articles and no speed control.

Recent reviews

What a nightmare! On this Juneteenth, because of difficulty with digital version, I foolishly uninstalled the old ap and reinstalled new. It's a totally different format. No longer can you jump pages to finish an article, or swipe left or right, only vertically through 58 pages , to view "print edition". You can no longer access a week's worth of older editions easily, the side bar is gone. No " letters to the editor " access either. Oh... don't forget all the new digital advertising. FAIL ;(

Lately, this app logs me out every couple days. I can tell it's going to log me out when I tap on an article from my pull down shade and the app sits there an loads for about 10 to 15 seconds. Then it brings up the sales/log in screen. Sooooo annoying. When paying nearly $50/month for the app, I expect the app to be considerably better.

The app sucks. When I click on an article notification I want to read it goes into a constant loop trying to open the article but never opening. It will keep doing it until I hit back or close it. I know I am expecting a lot from an entity owned by Rupert Murdoch (the demise of journalism). Looking at other reviews, they had technical issues for many years. What a joke of a company.
