1. [R2] WSB-TV News 5/5 · US Excellent Updates: Excellent News Coverage
2. [R5] WSB-TV News 5/5 · US I appreciate what’s making news, as a former TV anchor in San Francisco, now retired in Marietta, GA: The constant updates and factual information provided by WSB-TV News is a CONSTANT in my life. I thoroughly appreciate how WSB-TV STAYS ON THE JOB…Delivering news we can all TRUST AND BELIEVE . THANKS TO ALL WHO MAKE THAT POSSIBLE.
3. [R12] WSB-TV News 3/5 · US App Needs Work: I enjoy reading the news on the app. However, lately, in the middle of reading a story, the words disappear and I have to close the app, re-find the article and just hope it doesn’t disappear a 2nd (or 3rd or 4th) time.
4. [R62] The Wall Street Journal. News 4/5 · US Sustainable business went dark: Always have appreciated the quality of reporting especially with the Sustainable Business section. Too bad they took it out.
5. [R1] WSB-TV News 1/5 · US Not user friendly: This app a waste of my time. It cuts the story off while the interview is going and just moves to the next story only to do the same thing. Also, most of the videos don’t show when you click on them; you can only hear people talking.
6. [R3] WSB-TV News 3/5 · US Stalls a lot: Can’t enjoy the app because it does not stay on or the videos stop frequently. Have to continuously come out of the app and go back in.
7. [R19] WSB-TV News 1/5 · US The app sucks: Never lets you watch videos and the links from notifications never work
8. [R92] The Wall Street Journal. News 4/5 · US Great content, but drains battery: I find the content and writing is top-notch, the app UI is intuitive and easy to use, catering to those who prefer both blog style with most recent news appearing at top as well as broadsheet like the print edition. Another plus: the ads are low-key unlike other news apps. Starting a few months ago though I’ve noticed the WSJ app seriously drains my battery. I’d
9. [R40] WSB-TV News 1/5 · US Delete it: I used to rely on this app when I wasn’t able to watch the news but last couple of months it has been freezing and crashing every time I open it so I deleted it
10. [R42] WSB-TV News 2/5 · US Unreliable App: It is very frustrating to receive push notification teasers only to have the app crash upon opening more than half the time. Please fix this bug. It definitely has caused me to get my news from a more reliable app.
11. [R44] WSB-TV News 1/5 · US Would be Five Stars if it Didn’t Keep Crashing: I love the WSB app and relied on it for local news and the pollen count, but now the app cannot even open properly. Every time I open the app an error message is thrown saying “App Could Not Be Started: The app could not be started. Please check your network connection and try again.” No matter how many times I press Retry, delete and redownload t
12. [R70] The Wall Street Journal. News 1/5 · US Can’t login with Sign In With Apple: I’ll change this rating once this is fixed, but I’ve subscribed to the app but can’t login with Sign In With Apple! I’ve tried over and over on multiple devices. It takes me to the Safari browser, I select my account, it signs in and stays on a blank page. It doesn’t take me back to the app, and the app stays signed out. I’m extremely frustrated with this!
13. [R25] WSB-TV News 1/5 · US Ads: You post way too many ads and from very aggressive home improvement companies
14. [R34] WSB-TV News 2/5 · US Disappointed with WSB: Too many ads! The same news is repeating
15. [R88] The Wall Street Journal. News 1/5 · US WSJ App now just a con game: News content is no longer accessible via the iPhone app. Regardless of an active subscription, every attempt to read beyond the headlines will be met with a screen demanding the purchase of an additional $39 monthly subscription. There are ample legitimate news options available via iTunes apps. If you truly need to read WSJ, try a print subscription.
16. [R96] The Wall Street Journal. News 3/5 · US Love the WSJ, don’t love Ads.: I am disappointed that the app has ads, even when offline. I am a paying member of the Wall Street journal, and I don’t find it respectable that you guys choose to have banner ads in app.
17. [R54] WSB-TV News 1/5 · US Needs improvementS!: As much as I love Channel 2 & WSB, the app is very disappointing. It’s buggy, sluggish, & the only thing that loads half the time is an advertisement for something that only appeals to elderly consumers. Many times I see something interesting that I would like to read, but the app is so frustrating that I simply give up.
18. [R106] The Wall Street Journal. News 1/5 · US Bait and switch: Beware. If you click on article and can’t access and subscribe, it may charge you for a service that does not include the article or only gives a Barron’s online subscription. Do not buy anything through this app. Customer service does not care and will ignore the issue.
19. [R112] The Wall Street Journal. News 1/5 · US APP needs serious work: Content top notch, but the app is serious bad. 1. When I open an article, even if the content has been downloaded before, without internet connection it still refuses to load. This is terrible - internet connectivity should not affect article viewing for the articles that were already downloaded. 2. Offline mode is buggy. Today is May 10, 2026. When I am on a subway, th
