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!

I use to pay the annual subscription but the one touch (or one light brush while scrolling) ad links are way too frustrating to keep using the app, even the free version. I will not subscribe again until that is changed
