Scammy premium pricing

The subscription had an in-app “on sale” price of $6.99 per month. When it went through authorisation it changed to $24.99. I can see from my subscriptions that it appears to have an ongoing price of $24.99. In-app sale price was a lie. Now I am trying to cancel from the app and it will not allow any option other than to continue at $5.99. Very scammy. Also I didn’t realise the premium content would be weird right-wing stuff, I expected unbiased reporting. It’s truly bizarre.

New is NOT better

After months of trial and waiting I have concluded that the Navigation and readability of articles on this App are so laced with advertising, videos & photos irrelevant to the article, unclear limits on articles and advertisements, that I am abandoning using it in favour of other superior news sources that are far easier to navigate and read. FAIL .
Happy to pay for well written news articles without all the fuzz.

New App Sucks

The App wasn’t great but the update has completely stuffed the layout and navigation of the site! And are you subjected to ads even if you pay for the subscription. All in all poor quality App, poor quality journalism and I am fed up of being conned into paying for Viva and other content that should already be included. I am about to move overseas so I will be glad to get rid of this subscription.
