User Reviews for WSJ Print Edition
Well Done, WSJ!!
I’ve been a loyal reader of the WSJ since my MBA Economics professor made it required reading over 25 years ago. We were even tested to ensure we knew where in the paper information appeared and on which day certain columns ran. I have had a combination digital and print subscription for years. But, I’ve never really liked the digital version. You see, the way the print edition is formatted - the size of a headline font, the location (above or below the fold), even how many columns are devoted to a story - provides key information about the significance of the article in the eyes of the editors. And, I like to see who is running advertisements in the print edition. I thought it was a significant improvement recently when I signed up for the email that provided the pdf version of the print edition. And now the Print Edition app! Apparently, I wasn’t the only person that craved the print edition as an app. Thank you for listening to those of us that prefer the format of the print edition with the obvious benefits of digital delivery (especially when traveling to locations where finding a print edition is very difficult - I’m looking at you Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada).
This app helped make WSJ a daily read
At first I didn’t think I’d like the print version but I was sort of forced to try it because the other WSJ doesn’t let my account use it for some reason. After a day I was hooked. It reminded me of years ago when I’d go to a coffee shop and buy a newspaper and then sit and read. These days I tend to read in the digital age format. But this app made me realize I miss seeing that front page and going to the different sections. I like that you can zoom in and move around and jump to continuation pages. To app is done very well. I’m also a recent regular reader now (never paid for a subscriptionbefore) and I found that WSJ has quickly become one of my favorite sources all around.
nice app for reading WSJ
I like the app for the most part. I find it easiest to read in Fit mode with one page width. The only issue I have is the scrolling in Fit mode on an iPad Air in landscape mode. The scroll control appears to favor being at the top of bottom of the page. As I scroll down, the scroll control skips down to the bottle of the page when my finish the scroll operation. This makes reading the center articles difficult. A work-around is to slowly scroll down or up to the center section, which allows for the scroll offset to stay. Suggest that the scroll control keep the last scroll offset when the scroll operation is finished instead of being set to the top or bottom of the page.
Good app, great paper!!
I use this app every day, and it works quite well. It used to collapse regularly, if I switched from one issue to another, but that problem seems to have been resolved. It’s intuitive to use, and pretty simple to share articles with others by email. I send myself the crossword puzzle every day, for printing. I wish it was accessible for online solving right thru the app, but I believe that you have to go to the website for that. When clicking on and reading specific articles, Occasionally articles that continue to another page don’t continue thru the app, and sometimes there are textual errors (mixed up lines of text). But you can also read by expanding the page to zoom in on any story, and there are no issues that way. This is all to say that, with a few minor annoyances, this app works very well, and is a good way to read a great newspaper. I only hope I can afford to keep the paper once last years Black Friday special runs out this fall! I’ve loved the WSJ since first receiving it at the student rate long ago, but the regular price tag is hard to fit into the budget of a school employee!
Like the Good Old Days
I’d been reading WSJ for about 2 years on the iPad app and had really enjoyed getting a sense of the layout of the paper as I read articles. You get to see what the publisher is prioritizing, glance through stories, and a sense of where to find consistent items of interest. Having the actual print edition available has taken that to the next level. Charts and graphs, a crucial element of many WSJ stories, are laid out in a more readable format. I can quickly go find what I’m looking for, and more easily glance over headlines and stories I might want to read. Just like the good old days. There is still a little bit of smoothing out to do with loading on this app, which has me holding out on that precious fifth star, but with the love this app gets I’m sure WSJ will be resolving that soon.
WSJ App
One suggestion which is important for my usage of the app. The e edition needlessly refreshes itself a few times while I am midway through reading the a day’s edition ( in spite of my turning OFF the background refresh in the app settings ; and also in the offline mode ). It takes a little while for me to get an article correctly zoomed on my 8 inch tablet. While I am reading the article, suddenly it will refresh itself. This happens when I switch screens fora minute to check my mail etc. And when I return to the WSJ app, BOOM… it refreshes, … Although it will come back to the same page after this un-commanded refresh, I need to go back looking for the article that I was reading, zoom it back, then locate the paragraph or sentence I was reading. . My suggestion is that the edition should NOT refresh itself till the reader decides he wants to refresh. The little extra advantage that is derived from having an updated article made available, is more than negated by the inconvenience of the disruption caused by the refresh. I really HOPE the edition does not refresh un-commanded …Overall, a Very easy to use app, and replicates the experience of reading print edition, ( while being eco friendly too. ) Thanks
Great app!
I am a new subscriber to the Wall Street Journal. I love that you can read the newspaper online as a digital version or as if you had the print version right in front of you. I like that you have the overall view of how that days cage is laid out and you can either zoom in an article you want to click on it and it will go directly to a much larger version of that particular article. This easy to use what do you want to turn the page as if it were a real periodical, or if you want to skip to the right and in the section. I also love that if you are busy doing something and you want to read the paper and yet don’t have time to devote only to reading to the paper, you can actually have a newspaper read to you by the app. That is good for busy people or those who are a little visual challenged. In my case, I could have the newspaper read to me why apply my make up or brush my teeth. Lol while I love the online feature I also still enjoy reading the tangible paper copy. (May that tangible version never go away.)
A Skeptic’s Take on the WSJ “ Print E-Edition
This is written by someone who has had a morning newspaper on his breakfast table for nearly 60 years and whose experience with e-editions has ranged from disappointed to disgusted. I not only missed the “feel” of the real thing, but I found them to be user-unfriendly and difficult to “flip through,” as I like to do. Then came the Journal’s version and I was, if not converted, pleased that it gave me the options I needed to feel at home with an e-edition newspaper. It’s layout seems infinitely adjustable to the reader’s needs, and combines the ability to see the entire page in one window with the ability to focus in on a single article. It is user-friendly and offers the reader access to the entire print addition, advertisements, Pepper & Salt, and all! We still have the print edition delivered to the house, but now my wife and I can read the Journal at the same time and even tell each other to look at page whatever for a good article. May “real” print editions live forever, but the Journal’s e-edition comes as close to the real thing as you can get. We’ll done, WSJ!
Good App but still has bugs
As a WSJ subscriber, I find it a bit annoying that the regular APP is not included in my subscription on a tablet. Weirdly, I get the regular APP on my IPhone but not the IPad. So rather than using the web based version, I have gone to this Print edition app instead.While it is good overall, it still has bugs. The print version presents the paper format on one side of the screen and a reading pane on the other side. What is supposed to happen, is that when you select an article from the print based version on one side of the screen, the article can be read on the other half of the screen. Unfortunately, MANY times the two sides don’t play well together. This often seems to on pages where there is a block of advertisement. You click on an article and see the advertisement as well and there is no way to bring the article itself into the reading portion of the App. The only way around it, is to enlarge the Print version and read it from there.
Well designed app
I use this WSJ Print app and the non-print WSJ version. Both work really well, but I prefer this one because I can see the layout of the paper. It’s like being able to see the blue-prints of a house you want to buy rather than just seeing pictures of individual rooms but not knowing how they fit in with the whole house. You can tap on each article and it appears in an easy read “reader view” that is easily navigable. The only downside is that when you navigate away from the app (even without closing it), it returns to the front page when you come back. Also, obviously, it doesn’t update throughout the day like the other non-print version does. Still, I think they’ve done a really good job designing this app!
