Pls bring old font and font size back!

The font in current version is so ugly.

Terrible FONT

Please return the font back to what it was in prior version. There is too much white space between the lines!

Upgrade better

Good -stock quotes from within the article, able to browse old articles.

Miss the paper of course, but the info is here

Used to be so excited to fold my barrons & walk to wherever I would read. Now I open app first thing sat morning. Also you can stay up to date as they pull stories & analysts, which beats the one day weekend read w monday market swing.

Poor handling of passwords

Seems the site can never remember my last password. The password reset site is inconsistent and sometimes I have to reenter old passwords in order to gain access...

Improved, but could be more readable

Loads Barronss fine. Stock quote feature is nice. Would be nice to have more control of font/size. Also white print on black background would be more readable. Ads are annoying. Totally better than paper version that would sometimes end up in my driveway.

Great app

Love Barrons content. Love their app. Still appreciate the newspaper though.

Great source of market news. Great app.

I dont even read the paper version any more. Love the app.

Want to forward articles to friends

I wish I could forward articles to friends but they cant read them if they are not subscribers.

Very good app

Very good app for stocks and good reading on stock markets.

Its alright.

I love Barrons, and everything from the magazine works perfectly. But Im only giving three stars because I can no longer access my watch-lists on the app or the website. Its been 2 months since I contacted them and they still havent fixed it!! Im not sure if Im going to keep the subscription anymore, because its a waste if I cant use the watchlist feature, which has always been my most used feature.

Great app

Great app. Desktop is better, however a good place to stay up to date

Keeps getting better

The app keeps improving. I like the content and new font. I wish all charts and photos from mag were there. Oddly, I miss some of the ads.

Saturday morning

Im hooked, reading Barrons on my iPad early Saturday morning. It is now the only financial magazine I read. The new version works better but I did like the older sectioned format - columns, features...

Nice app and good content

Always liked Barrons. Great content and analysis. The app is a bit clumsy but well done.

Content vs Tech

As with much of todays media, Barrons content is great. The technology can sometimes negatively affect the overall experience.

A must read every week

I read Barrons every Saturday morning to prepare for my investment week. It gives me a clear direction for what is ahead in the markets.

Excessive advertising

Update: since the most recent app refresh the magazine now seems to take longer to load and the font has been updated to one less readable. On iPhone the app consistently will not update with the newest content each week, continuously forcing restarts of the app or complete reinstalls in order for the content to update. While Barrons content and quality is excellent, the current format of the app leaves much to be desired. The level of forced advertising is totally excessive, forcing the user to scroll through page after page with hardly any text on it just to read a brief article.

Barrons content where and when I need it

The app is easy to navigate and contains all the Barrons content which has made me a devoted reader for the last 35 years.

Summer deal

I took advantage of a Barrons summer promotion to get both the paper delivered & digital version for the same price as just the digital subscription. Overall, very happy with my subscription.
