WSJ app on iPhone shows white screen when opened, then disappears

Every morning I download the current issue onto my iPad. I am running version 16.7.8. Once it is downloaded I leave the house. When I start up the WSJ app it appears to be fine, but if I do not have an internet connection, which happens on airplanes, or at restaurants, my gym, or anywhere else, I cannot read the articles. This happens regularly when trying to read the Opinion section as well as various columns. There may be an article that I can read, but mostly I cannot as the majority just bring up a blank. this has been going on for months. Obviously if I have a subscription that includes read the WSJ on my iPad there are going to be a lot of times I will be out of internet range and my iPad does not have cellular access. Why is this a problem. I do not want to buy a new iPad and then pay for a data plan for it. I want to download the WSJ and read it anywhere I travel that day, which most of the time is on planes or trains.

I cannot get the app to update on IPad, and I can't get any content whatsoever when I open the app.

I read the WSJ on my ipad. I now can only get the whats news version that is on my iphone. I hate this! I can’t choose the daily paper and i can’t move from page to page. How do I fix this.

What did u do to the ipad version of Wall St Journal? It looks like the iPhone version. I can’t get the page one. Or anything else the way it's been for years.

Cannot view app in landscape mode on ipad

The app started showing on my ipad with the portrait orientation, instead of the landscape. Landscape is my preferred orientation for reading as it makes everything somewhat larger and longer length left to right. Why did is suddenly change? All my other apps work properly except the WSJ? Ideas?

This happens constantly while reading WSJ print edition on iPad while connected to wi -fi. I keep getting a notice that I have no internet connection. It is true but i already know it and it is annoying to se the same message pop up repeatedly. Is there any way to stop this pop up message?

The app used to prompt when there was a new issue available, and give me the option to leave where I am and go to the new one. It does not do that any more.

Hi, The app says I am logged in, but it keeps asking me to subscribe. I have seen this problem reported elsewhere. I have deleted the app, rebooted and downloaded again, to no avail. M

After reading a few articles, the next article won't open, so I have to shut the app and reopen and it's OK for a while. If I switch to a different tab, the WSJ will no longer open a new article. This has occurred for quite a while. I have reloaded the WSJ app with same result. Android.
