Clicking on a story from the widget always led to the wrong article - instead of fixing the widget with an update, they removed it altogether.

Worst revamp of the app ever. Text is ineligible, and the settings just ask you to increase your font size on the entire phone? What kind of vibe coding hallucination caused this?

unreliable and requires frequent updates in order to function

The 8/10/26 update removed the Home screen widget. Seems a major error to remove a feature that drove traffic back to the app. Left a huge void on my home screen. Bring it back please.

I can't read "Reader Comments" on this version. It just doesn't work on either of my Android devices. Please fix! Forcing the reader to change font size in System Settings isn't good. Please add font settings into the app.

Same good content, awful redesign of the user interface. Looks amateurish, low quality and to change the text size you have to do so at the OS level in Android. What a PoC.

They took a bad app and made it worse. I can't adjust the font size without adjusting it at a system level. I don't want to change the font size for all my apps, just this one. For an app that's mainly for reading articles, this is awful! And it won't follow the system font. It has its own which is too bold and hard to read. And there are no options to change it. I'm so annoyed because I want to read the content and the app is now much worse than it was. Please allow app specific fonts and size.

So wonderful to have the app in Dark mode. Been waiting for this feature for years. I can now see more clearly the charts and investor relevant news. Greatly appreciate the new app layout!

Awesome with an abundance of investing information.
My experience reading notifications from this app has been frustrating. Roughly 1/4 ends in an error when the app fails to open on my Samsung Tab. I mainly use the tablet to access Barrons since sitting behind a PC isn't very convenient. I'll probably cancel my subscription over this.

A drop after an update usually means the update broke something.
