Horrible Experience

Long time subscriber here. I know have to sign in every day to use the app. Does not support family sharing at this price! Crazy.
Bye Bye
JDJim is disappointed

Lousy app takes forever to load stories!

Upgrade the app please!
PPPierre the pro

new app sucks

your new app isn't anything like the news paper and if you don't fix it we'll cancel our subscription. We just want a new e-reader

Used to be a worthwhile read!

Same stories over and over! Some as old as 4 days!
Used to faithfully check site for news, now don’t even look at it!
