Just installed the new version (6?) released with iOS 8. It is a huge step backward in usability and content. 1. It appears they have substantially reduced the number of photos. I did not find a Photos of the Day. Maybe it was there somewhere. I didn't see it. Bring back Photos of the Day. 2. The number of photos within each article has been reduced. Bring back the additional photos. 3. I am no longer able to see all photos on the first page of an article. The few photos that are present are scattered across the pages of an article, rather than appearing on the first page. This limits the photo spread for shorter articles. In the past, even a short (text) article might have several photos. No more. Make all photos accessible on the first page of each story. 4. Ads are now inserted into the center of individual articles. In prior versions, the ads appear between articles. Now we get bombarded by the same inane ad several dozen times while reading the morning paper. Remove full page ads from individual stories. 5. Navigation is a disaster. They have created several ways to navigate, which don't all lead readers to the same set of stories. The section summary screens no longer include all the stories. To see every story, you have to open the sidebar, scroll down, and click on a story title. But many story titles are not descriptive. So, you can't tell what the story is about (not even close) unless you open the story. Bring all stories back into the section summary screens. 6. If you are trying to read the stories via the sidebar, you have to click once (on the 3-bar symbol) to open the sidebar, then scroll down in the sidebar list to find your place, then click on the next interesting story. In contrast, the old version took you back to the highlights page (section summary?) just by swiping down. Simplify sidebar navigation: when I reopen the sidebar, the story I was just reading should be selected in the sidebar so I don't have to find my place in the list every time. 7. Swiping seems to have disappeared. Instead, you have to find the small user-interface element and click on it (e.g., the return arrow in upper left or the 3-bar symbol in upper right). There is a reason swiping is a key part of tablet UI: it's an easy action that conveys intent but does not require precise finger placement. Bring back swiping. I've been a WSJ reader for over three decades, including several years on iPad. I'll reluctantly find another source for news if this app does not improve quickly.
