Just writing a review to inform UK subscribers that there is indeed a cancellation option within the WSJ website, so you don't have to phone to cancel. Also, for added peace of mind just subscribe as I did with a virtual card which you can delete at the end of the subscription period.
With the bonkers US news and the great joining offer I thought I'd give it a try. No complaints so far, the WSJ looks very professional and comprehensive.

I was surprised to see such a bad…
I was surprised to see such a bad rating for one of the most reliable and well-known newspapers. Okay, there are not many reviews, I guess people just don’t bother to write reviews for one of the most popular mediums.
I appreciate that the Wall Street Journal keep its style of providing long and high-quality news analysis. While everybody else focused on writing short news and clickbait titles, they kept their standards high, respecting the basic postulate of journalism - being objective and informative.

5 Stars for excellent journalism; minus 1 Star for historically awful customer service
I give the Journal 5 Stars for their high quality journalism. Of course, their in-house editorials and a couple of their columnist are very conservative, but it's their paper so that doesn't bother me.
Otherwise, the Journal has become one of the few news products these days that retains traditional journalism ethical principles. They strive to write objective, balanced, well-researched articles and they succeed. Their editors must be demanding, smart, and usually right because I rarely find significant errors or sloppy writing and I've read the paper for most of the last 30 years.
Even my beloved New York Times has started slanting their news articles more and more to support liberal, or at least left-of-center, political, social, and economic theories and beliefs. Even though I am a moderate Democrat and often agree with a left-of-center policy or political position, I am reading the newspaper for NEWS, not opinion. When it becomes increasingly difficult to differentiate the "news" from the "editorials" there's a problem.
I gave the WSJ 4 stars because the customer service problems other folks have described are real. The Journal, well really it's Dow Jones & Co. and their parent company that somehow managed to maintain a terribly disorganized, ineffectual, unprofessional subscription and customer service for years! In the past two years they have (slowly) begun to improve, but they still have a ways to go, as evidenced by all the blunders and f-ups many, many people have described on this page.
