Barron’s - Investing Insights Positive Reviews
I’m Diggin ItWell done Barron’s. It looks good and is easier to use. I can’t ask for much more. I do have this issue where it keeps telling me I have a payment issue to resolve. My card and info is current, I’ve checked on the website multiple times but I still get a notification every time I open the app that there is a pending payment issue that needs to be resolved. Please check it out for me! No other complaints though.Reviewing Apps StinksVersion: 15.0.1
Solid app, but could use improvementsI gave this app 4 stars because app is solid, but I found it wanting in the following two ways: 1. Search Feature: Their search feature might be where the app is most deficient. It’s hard to search for articles on the app. If there’s a way to search for articles, I can’t figure out. I can only search for stock symbols, which give the 5 most recent articles that mention the stock. A lot of times that’s not enough. It would be great if we could search articles by terms, authors, date, etc. 2. “Open in App”: When I open a Barron’s article I found in Google, my Safari web browser gives me the option to open the article in the app. But doing so just opens the app to wherever I left off the last time I was on the app. With no way to search for articles in the app, this can be frustrating. The only way to read these articles seems to be by signing in to my Barron’s account on my web browser, which I don’t want to do.
Other than that, the app is pretty solid. Nice user interface, nice font, good articles..GojaseVersion: 5.3.4
Frequently logs out and doesn’t open automatically from the email linkIt’s a good amp, but has two major problems. Frequently logs out and doesn’t open automatically from the email link.
Barron sends out newsletters with links to articles when I click on them instead of opening the app it opens in the browser and again ask you to login. This is no good.
It should open the app directly and go to the article that I’m interested in to make the user experience better. so this is my request to the developer please do so thank you.Top gun 80Version: 5.19.7
Great AppI love this app and how easy it is to get useful information. It is easy for me to use and it had many great features. I use this app almost every day and it is one of my favorite news sources. I recommend this app to anyone who does not want to spend a lot of money for great information..Krushal winnerVersion: 5.6.1
Not User Friendly at TimesOverall I enjoy the App. What is frustrating is I will receive a email from Barron’s with articles of interest. When I click on a article, I’m routed to the internet asking me to subscribe. Why not route me to the App where I have already subscribed and paid Barron’s their fee. When I go to the App, I will try to find the articles they emailed me with no success. This is frustrating since I’m already a paid subscriber..Kruser99Version: 5.3.3
Minor bugI read Barron’s and WSJ on the iPad. Recently, if I am mid article and let the iPad go to sleep or I lock it and then I reopen the iPad and Barron’s/WSJ app, the the same article comes up but it is reset to show the beginning of the article. So you have to scroll back to where you left off. The apps used to save your spot in the article whenever you locked and then unlocked your iPad. Basically a pain in the neck since I read these papers and their articles off and on throughout the days..Barrons FanVersion: 5.0.1
Frequent mis-cue on articlesThis problem occurs frequently enough that I actually feel the need to write this up. 10-15% of articles don’t match the title clicked. When this happens on an article, it persists so that the original article isn’t reachable at all — the app will continually pull up the same, wrong article. iPhone & iPad apps both have this problem.
Good content, just frustrating that only a portion of titles are reachable..J99akVersion: 5.18.5
Solid app with some minor glitchesSolid app with very nice layout and UX. I wil give 5 stars if below issues are addressed.
1.When clicking on notification it takes me to the website instead of app. Pretty surprising that this basic routine feature is missing in Barron’s app
2. There is no dark mode option available to view the articles. We need this..Santu14Version: 5.17.7
Good app in general, but audio bug needs to be fixedIn general, I enjoy using this app to read and listen through the financial analyses, which are good content. However, it seems that the audio cuts all the paragraphs where there is bold fonts in the text. This bug is really annoying. I hope this issue can be fixed soon..TongpkuVersion: 5.11.16
FR: Listening queueI love to use this app to listen to articles. Most articles ends at around 5min. So I want it allow to add articles into a queue, and the app plays them one by one, without letting me find next one to start listening..Wangzhou26616Version: 5.11.1
Annoying ads even with paid subscriptionApp allows ads that auto plays sounds which is really obnoxious. Lately it also frequently forgets that I am logged in and I have to keep signing back in.
I wish Barron’s would stop with the clickbait style headlines on latest section.
All these things combined encouraged me to ditch my subscription, not the level of quality I expect.AE2023Version: 5.3.17
Font size is tiny, can’t make biggerIOS 16 has font size settings that are easily adjustable from Control Center, individually for each app. When will this app start making use of this feature so we can change the font size for comfortable reading?
If you want to see an app that implements this feature correctly, check out the NPR app on iOS..MStyleFTWVersion: 5.11.5
Locks out an iOS featureThis version of Barrons prevents the user from selecting a single word to get a dictionary definition. You are permitted only to select one paragraph. Select All is also not allowed.
Maybe to better protect Dow Jones' intellectual property the app could be redesigned to present all text as a graphic, with screenshot disabled, and the screen darkened if a nearby smartphone lens is detected..Jophus21029Version: 5.0.3
Great Articles, App Needs WorkThe articles are the main show here and are great. Very informative and valuable.
However, the app needs some work. I get random slowdowns where I can’t scroll down the article. If you exit the app to respond to a message and return, you lose your spot in the article. Extremely frustrating..Capin131Version: 5.0.2
Great articlesJust going to give some advice if you decide to cancel you can only do so through iTunes, go to iTunes, account settings, subscriptions, click on Barron’s, then if you choose click on cancel. Barron’s was not clear on this process so wanted to give a heads up to any who subscribed and was lost as I was..Brandon.g.RVersion: 5.0

Love Barrons but there needs to be more Kindle-like functionality.I used to use the newsstand reader on my PC which was the actual virtual version of the paper edition. You could highlight and write on the surface and ave the entire edition.

Barron's on iPadExtremely user friendly. Easy to switch sections. Love it,.Kilimanjaro17Version: 1.2
Finally updated--much better!The end of August brought a surprising and welcome update: Dow Jones has finally updated the Barron's app to support both the retina display of the latest iPad, and the multitasking features of iOS 5! I had truly given up hope and thought the publishers had abandoned the app.
The app now works very well for offline reading of Barron's content (subscription required). It appears that they also fixed an annoying tendency for the app to navigate to the table of contents instead of the next page. I am very happy!
I am rating the app as 4 stars out of 5, because it's good, but not perfect. I notice that the graphics aren't quite "retina" quality (bitmapped text is still fuzzy, etc.), and I think there is room for improvement re: the article navigation bar on the right. It would be better if this could be hidden to allow the article to use the entire screen area.
Overall I can now recommend the app to any Barron's subscriber with an iPad..OracleGuyVersion: 1.2
Needs much improvementThis app needs to improve a lot to make it as accessible as the print version. I would advise that they change the layout so that you start at the cover and can flip through the app in the same way that you flip through the paper. It seems very disjointed having it organized by columns and features etc.
The app should remember your spot when you leave the app and then come back. This is very frustrating, especially if you are in the middle of a longer article. As well, often when I have been in the middle of an article and swipe to continue, it brings me to one of the content pages as opposed to the rest of the article. This is very frustrating.
Also, if you are like me and read Barron's for much of the statistical information, this is incomplete. Much of the Market Data is missing which is frustrating as there are certain things I can't find elsewhere.
I think the developers need to rethink how they present the information through this app. I am not sure to model it after the WSJ makes sense, as they are very different papers..Samm007Version: 1.0
Great!One of the best iPad apps out there. Must be a subscriber to take advantage of great articles and features..AGAggggggVersion: 1.0
It's Very Well DoneNow this is the kind of thing I bought the iPad for. Elegant and simple. Price? Here's where the grin usually turns into a grimace with iPad publications - but not here. The weekly sub is priced about the same as a good cup of coffee..NumapassVersion: 1.0
Decent appReview update: I am surprised nothing has been done to fix the poor readability of the font and the limited text size options. The more I read issues displayed in this font the more irritating it becomes.
Original review:
Decent app for subscribers. Display needs some more thought. The WSJ app works better. Type size selection is odd. Medium is too small, large too big. Font is also less clear than most other apps, including the WSJ..ToollioVersion: 1.0

Barron’s - Investing Insights Negative Reviews
Why can’t I print?!It seems that they absolutely do not allow any printing from the app. They apparently also made it impossible to copy an article to paste into a different app and print from there. While I understand that they’re trying to protect their intellectual property, it’s hugely annoying and inconvenient. I mean, is it a huge problem for them, enough to justify annoying their customers? Or did some tech in IT say, hey people possibly maybe can sometimes cause lost business by printing and distributing articles so let’s block everybody including our honest customers. I’m sorry, but I still like paper for those few articles I want to annotate and file for future reference. The saving of articles in the app just does not provide the same convenience. Plus, I’m older and my eyes get tired faster reading on screens that with paper. It’s stupid, makes me want to cancel my subscription..MrstsanVersion: 5.1.7
App Dissimilar From Barrons Web PageI have had the Barrons app for a number of years. It is good for quick access to a story but it seems deficient in depth and access to all aspects of Barrons. I don’t have a lot of time so certain timely information is important to me. As examples I have Barrons emails sent regarding stories. When you click on a story from the email it opens in the web to Barrons. It then asks if I want the app, which I have, so why not open up in the app.
I like the data option which only appears in the web version and there is no access from the app. If you pick the e edition access from the app it seems to take forever to load. I have no time or patience, so its not the best option either. A good app would be more like the web version..126rogue4Version: 5.1.12
Glitchy app with poor offline modeThis app needs work. I used to get Barrons via Kindle, but that stopped a while back. It was a pdf that you had to scroll through - not a great experience, but it was reliable and all available offline. This app frequently has “error loading content” because it is trying to serve an ad or online content that fails. On my ipad pro, the screen freezes and requires me to force quit and restart the app. Even after multiple updates, I get the same behavior. Also, I’ve tried to download articles to read while in airplane mode, but then also get an error..Kpaj35Version: 5.19.1
Older iPad? No Barron's for YOU!Those of us with iPads not capable of running iOS 10 can no longer even use prior compatible versions as of now. The old app tells us to download the "new and enhanced" version but we cannot because the App Store says it requires iOS 10. And the older version, while still downloadable, simply tells us to upgrade. I've never had this happen with ANY other app. It is find to not support older iOS apps but not fine to just cut off those of us who don't get the latest hardware every year. Let us use the old version unsupported! My six year old iPad 3 works fine with iOS 9 for everything I want to do .... Except read Barron's. Disappointed. maybe the website will still work..RN1973Version: 4.6.6
Stutters, glitches and crashesFirst time subscriber and user of the mobile app. The app crashes for me on both ipad and iphone. Before it eventually but inevitably does, I experience stuttery scrolling behavior. Also, parts of the content is missing, for example in the recent piece on biotech companies, the biotech index chart would flash for a fraction of a second an disappear, never to be seen again on both phone and tablet, unless you use the tablet in landscape mode. Really annoying and disappointing. I’ve used some exemplary apps from other free news providers. You can do better..—yay—Version: 5.1.1
Obnoxious video adsRecently the app starts playing annoying video ads with sound while I am trying to read. I tried muting the ad, but it starts up again as I scroll down a little to read the story. I am paying for my Barron’s subscription and I am disgusted by these obnoxious ads. I have to turn my sound volume down to zero while using the app, and then remember to turn it back up when done. The app needs a way to choose sound off all the time.
Also it now makes me log in constantly. The app is updated weekly and requires I log in after each update..VolatilityQuantVersion: 5.3.18
The autodownload never worksExtremely frustrating that despite the issue auto-download set two „3“ and background app refresh enabled across multiple devices, the Barron’s app actually never downloads the full magazine. I need to tap on every single article first to be able to read it offline or download the e-edition which is cumbersome to go through. Have reached out to support but only get standard answers like „make sure to download the latest version of the app in the app store and/or reboot your device…“ 🙄.Taffin74Version: 5.19.6
Bug on comment1. I clicked on a story 2. Click on the comments icon 3. Type my comments or I even tried it blank 4. When I click on sign up to post, the app crashes 5. Expected behavior: when I click on the comment icon, I should be single signed on to the comments page and only the submit or cancel buttons be available. I should not be asked to sign up for posting the comments. When is this bug going to be fixed? I’m frustrated with the application crashing since I can’t write comments..Edison residentVersion: 5.11.10
Bugs with login and video adsI’m a subscriber to the content, but the bugs in the app are interfering with my ability to read articles:
The app asks you to login to view content when you’re already logged in. Clicking login after this notification does nothing. You have to close the app and reopen to view subscriber content.
Video ads play by default and sound is on. Scrolling away from the article with the embedded ad doesn’t stop the audio. Closing the app is the only way to stop it..Mikeb0tVersion: 5.3.14
Crashes ConstantlyI’m usually patient and rarely write a review, but I have to since this app continually gets worse and worse. It crashes at least 10-20 times each week as I read the magazine, and god forbid you pause for any length of time since then I have to close the app and restart it on my own. Daily articles are fine, but I can’t get Saturday delivery of the paper where I live and don’t want to wait until Tuesday to read the content. However, it is getting worse and worse making the value drop week in and week out in my eyes..Reviewer499Version: 5.8.0
Potential still unrealizedThis should be a great app — perfect use for an iPad — but it continues to fail. Navigation is clumsy and while some of the tiles are better displayed, it’s still confusing to find what you are looking for.
But even worse: Memory management is terrible; you cannot load a new article half the time. The bug was reported at least 3 years ago and remains unfixed. Essentially forces you to a browser version, which negates the value of the app. Barron’s should do much better than this..FunkydowVersion: 5.3.3
Unable to create watchlistWhile trying to create watchlist for my favorite stocks, i always am seeing this error banner stating “Unable to create watchlist”.
I think watchlist if one of the most basic and essential feature of the app and should work as expected. Having not many features, It reflects a very negative experience for first time users like me that even among the very few features provided by the app, one of them is not working.
Also, the UI to create watchlist is not that intuitive.
Please try and fix it for the next release..RushirkbVersion: 5.1.9
App crashes; no offline viewingI am amazed at how bad this app is relative to its sister app, WSJ. My app does not download for offline reading. It crashes often. Barrons has good content and when you have a network connection AND the articles load properly / app doesn’t crash, it is good. Unfortunately, this is 50-50 with the app as I constantly have to reboot it. The issue that initiates me the most is the inability of the app to download the full magazine and allow for seamless reading offline. How has this not been fixed yet!!.Ashish L.Version: 5.1.6
Hacking my privacy?For over a year now this app asks me if it should track me all the time or “ask app not to track” EVERY TIME I open the app. To make it worse neither option is clickable so to see the content which I PAY FOR, I must just slide that pop up away, effectively not answering. Therefore I assume Dow is taking liberties with tracking my data and I give a low rating. Tried contacting through Apple. I just deleted and reinstalled the Barron’s app so THAT didn’t help! Maybe someone can read this and respond or reach out with the fix..Coffee956324Version: 5.8.0
Simple things overlookedWhy is it that the WSJ can’t even get the simple things right in their apps. For years you could not access the app if there was an update available. That was problematic as we don’t always have Wi-Fi to update when trying to read the appear. They finally got that fixed and the new update requires you to login again. This is a very easy fix so it must mean that they just don’t care about their customers..Saildad_2000Version: 5.3.18
Auto playing video ads ruin user experienceThis is a terrible app with two desperate flaws. First, it regularly fails to recognize subscriptions and one has to click through login in and restore purchases dialogs.
Second it has auto play video ads with intrusive soundtracks. Listening to music while reading your paid subscription articles is impossible because the video ads launch every few seconds.
This for a $400 annual subscription is absolutely pathetic..Pmg51Version: 5.3.17
Offline reading no longer supportedPrior to this latest app update, I could download and read an entire issue - in fact several issues - on the plane. Loved that feature as it allowed me to catch up with recent stories I’d missed. This new app requires an active internet connection, so I can no longer read on a long flight. Please restore the app to its previous functionality. Note: the Wall Street Journal app still supports offline reading. Barron’s and WSJ apps used to work identically. In this case, newer is not better..Bg1000nicknameVersion: 5.0.2
Losing readers due to technologyIf you only care about readers with the latest ipad then you are fine. But if you want to retain the maximum # of eyeballs then your app should be able to differentiate between ipads that have the latest ios and those that don't. The app store will not allow me to upgrade Barron's since my ipad can't use the latest IOS. So i cant read Barron's? What happened to concerns about universal access? Please fix or I can cancel my subscription. Suddenly Barron's is not a part of my weekly Sunday morning ritual..PlsemailVersion: 4.6.6
Come on!A long time subscriber. Watchlist still not corrected. Three weeks of unloading and reloading app for updates and still no watchlist. A service call with talking to 4 reps a week ago and watchlist glitch still not corrected. This is a paid subscription. Yahoo and CNBC are fee. Highly recommend Barrons take into account the demographics of subscribers.
Review the reviews. Boss man 2 years ago versus current. What happened? Big down turn in markets this week and use free version of CNBC. SHAME ON YOU!.Same blah blahVersion: 5.1.5
The same information again & alwaysThis is a critic over Barron’s editorial line. When you sign-up for Barron, all you hear about, all you learn about, is the same stuff. On Monday it’s about Tesla, on Tuesday it’s about Apple, on Tuesday it’s about Microsoft and then Thursday it’s Tesla again. Can you guys expand your views and tell us about things we actually want to hear about? But no, every headline is about how Tesla is this and that. We don’t care. Do your job and tell us something new..Pierrot5678Version: 5.1.11
Login NightmareFrom the moment I downloaded the signing was a struggle. On the iPhone, the face recognition never worked. It ask me to sign in every time I opened the app. Finally after spending 20 minutes trying to login, resets my password, face recognition failing, it informed me my subscription ram out yesterday. Why could it not tell me that when I open the app 20 minutes ago??? For obvious reasons I will not be renewing my subscription do to issues with the app.Muskey HunterVersion: 5.5.2
Not working anymore!!The App is now useless as there is a bug that block you from reading articles. Even though we have a full paid subscription it constantly wants me to log on because it says I have no paid subscription. And it seems from the latest reviews this is a common problem that Barrons is doing nothing about to fix! Really not a way to treat trusted subscribers for a 20 USD a month subscription..NiVi-CAVersion: 5.2.2
They can’t figure out tables and imagesI pay for Barron’s yet I am forced to watch loud flashing video ads while I read articles on Saturday morning. I don’t know what’s so hard about tables and images for the Barrons people, but not 1 table shows properly without getting cut off.
There is no offline functionality. You download the magazine and if you open it on an airplane is says “unable to connect. Retry”. You still need the physical paper copy in 2020.
Dow Jones hires really poor programmers.U2NyRVersion: 5.2.3
Getting buggierThe current release crashes regularly at open on an iPad Mini 6 (current model). Downloaded issues aren’t actually fully downloaded for offline use. And too many ads populate articles as one scrolls, often delayed and disrupting readability. Basically, a subpar app that makes being a paid subscriber much less appealing. I hope Dow Jones prioritizes a better Barron’s app soon..JHNoahVersion: 5.3.7
App Continues to get worseIt seems that Barron’s feels that the well working app from a year ago needed to be “modernized” and thus broken. The sterile looking top stories section, now infused with ads, detracts from the excellent content. Get rid of the black! Expanding a graphic on an iPad is now unreadable. Any white background area becomes black rendering all text unviewable and unreadable. What used to be an enjoyable experience has now become irritating. Tied with the ridiculous price increase, not worth continuing my subscription..Eagle3010Version: 5.0.1
Come on guys. You can do better!The content is great but the app is horrible. It keeps auto playing ads with sound, despite having my volume all the way down and the switch turned Off. And I have to log in numerous times. I expect better from a prestigious periodical. Looks like this is happening to several other people too
Let’s get this right!.JohnF12345Version: 5.3.18
Fix the search functionThe Search function is terrible. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Searching for a company name or ticker will sometimes link you to an article, other times it will show zero results (even though there ARE articles), and other times it will show you the articles but then instantly crash the app.
Hire someone to fix this ASAP.
Content is good, app needs work..SF Times readerVersion: 5.2.4
Watch list issues and ad issuesJust downloaded the app after buying a subscription yesterday. Within the app, I am unable to create watchlists...it keeps giving me an error. Also, like other reviews have stated, you are unable to listen to background music or podcasts while on this app because the ads takeover any sound. Frustrating. You would think if you are paying a monthly subscription, ads wouldn’t be plastered everywhere..Potterxi11Version: 5.1.3
Horrible customer supportCustomer service does not read emails and provides responses completely unrelated to the described issue.
Then they lie to you telling you that the subscription you were using exclusively through the app on your phone for years does not grant you access through your mobile phone but only laptop and iPad.
It’s the bad service that made me quit not even the multiple issues the app has..No lord nameVersion: 5.20.5
Unable to report delivery issueI have now had the print/digital subscription for some time. I reported the issue once and now i am unable to report the issue when it occurs. I get a pop up saying call customer service. Please update this app asap so ‘report delivery issue ‘ works, same problem when i go online on my pc. I did call customer service several times and they are not helpful, at all. Also, please update the app so i can turn off the ‘auto renew’.Disappointed %$@%Version: 5.1.4
Ignores Phone SettingsWith the most recent update, ads always play sound, even though I have the sound turned off on my phone. Not sure how it ignores my phone settings but I clicked on App Support and it send me to a MarketWatch subscription page, rather than a place to provide feedback / seek support, so the lack of quality control makes sense. Not sure I trust this app ….Risky Business ManVersion: 5.3.17
Broken navigationI use the app in my iPad and it seems geared to just deliver up the magazine, not the breaking news. It also sometimes just shows a blank page page if I am following a link from the alert on my screen. After frustrating interactions I usually give up on the app and just go to the main page via a browser. Skip the app, it’s not worth the pixels it’s painted with..OPAzityVersion: 4.6.6
Can not access full articlesAm having a similar problem that I trace back to the acquisition of a new iPad. Access was never an issue with my older iPad but with my new one, I am unable to read full articles. I keep being asked to sign in and when I do, I am either denied or am asked to signed in again. Circular. Tech confines that I am a subscriber, and I continue to receive the paper hard copy but otherwise, Tech support has been anything but helpful..Osprey1955Version: 5.0
Please fix your app, ad video constantly take overBefore I finish one article, the ad video constantly pops up and takes over the whole screen, with this creeping old man looking right at you then walks off to a chair by the cabin. What the hack? I can’t stand it. Even when I move the screen to hide the ad section, the video still takes over as soon as I read further down the screen. It’s so disruptive. Maybe it’s time to cancel the subscription..MMM12356789Version: 5.1.2
Pop up advertisement videos are annoyingAs you read articles, you get rudely interrupted by their pop up marketing videos. When you pay for service, l don’t want to be interrupted by your sales marketing. If I wanted to watch advertisements I’ll turn on the television. Fix it and stop the pop up advertisements. Readers should have the option on whether they want to watch a stupid advertisement or not. The advertisement shouldn’t be forced upon them..DesinovaVersion: 5.0.2
CrashingImpressed with the content but it would be nice if I could actually use the search bar without the app crashing. Not looking good beyond the free trial..SwtBuyVersion: 5.2.3
App is a disasterAll I want to do is read news stories. It constantly crashes, articles disappear when I move back and forth, and images constantly flicker. It also seems to drain battery as the iPad struggles to process whatever this app is trying to do. It needs to be rewritten from the ground up. Unfortunately it makes Barron’s (which is a great publication) a slog to read..GS_9Version: 5.2.3
Too many crashesI like the content and have nothing against those. I’m just writing in regards to the app. The app crashes for me 1 out of 3 times. Once it crashes, it starts continuously crashing every time I try opening it again..PakdebongVersion: 5.1.12
Unprofessional appUnusually I don’t leave the review, but this app really hurts my feelings, I paid for content, but cannot even login with this app in my iPhone, and numerous crashes make user experience so bad, even make me to unsubscribe the Barron.Pg135Version: 5.1.6
Notifications open in Safari not AppIt’s pointless to have an app that doesn’t insist you use the app. Why are the notifications opening in the browser instead of the app. This issue is completely illogical. It’s like the app is dumb and doesn’t know it exist!.ApapnejaVersion: 5.11.6
Content good…but app is flawedI really enjoy reading Barron’s. But this app ongoing glitches and instabilities. The company should be embarrassed with the technical failures of the app..DiikobrazVersion: 5.3.17
No refundAfter being barred access to my account I was told that my account couldn’t be found despite them charging my apple account. Complete nonsense. The service is overpriced anyway..JHeinrichsVersion: 5.2.9

Latest “Enhancements” turned the app into JunkBarron’s used to be one of the best digital reads a serious investor could find. Now it's an ad-driven nightmare. Just like the web site. The app often crashes. It often fails to properly download the weekly edition for offline reading - I suspect because the advertisers don’t want you to read offline because you don’t see their annoying ads. Many links within a story give you an error message and ask you to “try again” ( the definition of madness?). When you click on an image, to make it bigger and more readable, much of the image becomes blacked out. I’ll be cancelling my subscription when it comes up for renewal unless things improve. I am not optimistic..VobogeckVersion: 5.0

Great Magazine / Buggy AppThe magazine is great. Not so much for the app.
The app freezes up continuously. Either the front page stays frozen or you read an article and you can't go to the next page because it's frozen..JohnbmtlVersion: 3.1
Requires subscriptionDoes not make clear a paid subscription is required. AND beyond ridiculous does not let you buy one. #fail.Yreva884Version: 1.1
Retina support plsDon't understand what holds them from upgrading the app to support Retina Screen. WSJ has done it long time ago. They belong to the publisher..Dow Jones GuyVersion: 1.1
Needs HDThe app is designed well, but suffers from a lack of HD. This is noticeable on my older iPad, but really pronounced on the new iPad. The blurry text is just unreadable. I am considering canceling my subscription until an update is made available. Don't waste your money until/if an upgrade comes..Pca526Version: 1.1
