Wall Street Journal is my primary source of business and economic news. While I have both the digital and print editions online, I actually prefer the online print edition app. Especially for page one, I have everything in one place and can zoom and scroll to the items I want to read through. I also like being able to see who’s advertising to this market and what they’re saying. Having the full page image works great for me.

The app displays the paper exactly like the print edition which is a huge plus. Selecting back issues is easy as well. My only reason for leaving four stars versus five has to deal with the audio option (read aloud) of the app. The voice sounds like that of a serial killer chasing its victim. Yet the audio option of the nonprint edition app sounds like a regular human voice with the proper tones and inflection.

I have read the print edition of the WSJ and articles on the web. But having an exact copy of the paper on the phone means I can read the paper at home or at work. It has always been good for national, world and financial news. But, over the years, the Journal has taken on increasing areas of interest. It truly has become indispensable.

I like scanning the print edition is the print format, as it is what i am used to as a senior. The ability to read an article by clicking allows me a familiar format, and also lets me scan headlines without actually reading the article. My only real complaint is that sometime the article does not open fully and I can’t read it from the article highlighter. This is infrequent, occurring a couple times a month.
