Zero stars is not available?

I registered for the paid ad-free version and now I can’t get ANY version. If I click on a story all I get is a solid red screen for two or three seconds followed by a full-screen ad asking me to upgrade to a paid ad-free version.

Love it!

This is so worth the tiny fee to get A+ Bay Area journalism with no ads.

Same solid journalism. But no ads!! <3

Appreciate sfgate’s commitment to thoughtful honest coverage. Glad to finally have no ads.

What events will you have?

NO ADS!! CLEAN-SCROLL!!! CAN LISTEN TO ARTICLES!!

Take my $4.99 a month! This app is great. Love the different intro greetings every time i open up the app, the crossword tab’s cute animation, and that i finally don’t need to be pestered by mobile ads for my go-to news source.
