★☆☆☆☆ Crosswords are terrible!
by 59diz95 · Jun 29, 2026

What have you done to the Crossword section? In landscape, the print is so tiny I can barely see it. In portrait, I can’t see across and down clues at the same time. <br/>My completed puzzles don’t stay in the App so I can’t tell which puzzle I did last. <br/>Please change it back.

★★★☆☆ Gift Links Don’t work.
by Queen Kathy I · Jul 4, 2026

Please fix app so I can send gift links This used to work. Now link says it copies but recipients can’t open. Sends them to subscriber/log in page.

★★★★☆ Sustainable business went dark
by Foodfighters · Jul 1, 2026

Always have appreciated the quality of reporting especially with the Sustainable Business section. Too bad they took it out.

★★★☆☆ no comments
by Lind345 · Jun 30, 2026

I don’t get why this app doesn’t let you leave comments—only on the website. It’s 2024, how hard can it be to add such a basic feature to the app?

★☆☆☆☆ Please fix the Crossword puzzle!
by 4reel? · Jun 29, 2026

Not sure what happened, but it’s a mess now. Put it back to the previous iteration…from a few days ago so the iOS keyboard can be used and we can preview letters, words etc. Other aspects of the app are fine.

★★★★★ They solved the comments issue
by cara0910 · Jun 30, 2026

They finally solved seeing comments in the app. Thank goodness.

★☆☆☆☆ Opt out bug
by MobjackMan · Jul 7, 2026

If you don’t choose “accept all” it goes into a terminal holding pattern that requires that I delete the app. Until this is fixed, I have to use the browser for content.

★★★☆☆ So-called issue download doesn’t work
by ThosParb · Jun 30, 2026

I tried to download the most recent issue before getting on a plane (which had no WiFi), but the so-called download let me read only about half the articles. Half the articles only showed an error message that I needed to have internet access. <br/><br/>A far superior download capability was eliminated when the WSJ app was overhauled a couple of years ago. Please bring back that full function. You certainly can’t be proud of this weak halfway offering.
