Freezing, log-in issues

Always freezing and crashing between pages, but now I can’t log in, when I try to, the log in box comes up again and again. Please sort it!

Cancellation Scam

Subscribing is effortless but, you have to call in to cancel. Creating this friction is not user friendly and aimed to squeeze the most out of subscription fees in my opinion. Horrific.

Overheating

Ram packed with adverts that slow down your phone and cause it to overheat (even though you’ve paid for a subscription). Have now removed it and just read articles through chrome
