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

I hate the fact that I have to change the system font to adjust the app font. My system font is just where I want it but the app font is too small. No other app I use has this restriction. For an app that I only use for reading articles it's so frustrating that the articles are so difficult to read because I can't change the font or it's size!
