Just love IT people who f things up because they have nothing better to do. Can't scroll through print editions as you use to, have to keep hitting back button, took away gestures/swipes. Feels like it went back 10 years.

When was it great? I tried to use it for months, and reverted to only reading the print edition, and wouldn't even use the app when I was overseas.

It's a moot point for me, their 2020 COVID coverage lost me for good. It's sad, because a lot of their content was good, but I can't reward them for their 2020 garbage.

Can’t speak to the app but WSJ is far and away the best MSM outlet. Meet me at sonic

I agree. There is an iPad WSJ Print app that at least is structured like the paper, but it’s harder to read.

Same. Every article was about Covid. Literally. Had to cancel. They still send me letters in the mail asking to come back.

The editorial page was the opposite of the news division on covid. Caused some conflict.

I tossed one of those out yesterday. It's about once a month I get one, and it's been a little over three years since I canceled.

OP, what I tried to use in the app was what used to be called something like, "view print edition." It at least looked like the regular paper, unlike the utter dogshite the normal arrangement looked like. It occurred to me that you may not have been using Print Edition view (or whatever it is called now.)

The news division is liberal and the editorial page is conservative.

That's the news, but it wasn't Slate articles being published in WaPo or the NYT at the time.

Today, the editorial and news division are in sync. They are just a step ahead of USA Today.

Pathetic rag.
