Ratings and reviews

From the top stories screen, when you click on an article it says I have to sign in. I click sign in and it says you are already signed in as ____ blank. Click sign out and nothing happens. Endless loop and can't even read any of the top stories even though I'm signed in. Extremely annoying. Edit 10/29/24: After months of not being able to fully use the app, suddenly this morning it gives me a sign in screen that actually works. I can now access the top stories.

Great news but horrible app. If the app loads properly than I fight with my subscription. It will say activated in account settings but constantly nag that it's not when using the app. I can fix it by going to settings each time. Ads still seem to float around because of this and it's beyond frustrating. Why not make a PWA app of the website and call it a day? I'm not sure if I can justify paying for this app if this isn't fixed soon.

The app just simply won't launch. Crashes every time. Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling. And yet McClatchy keeps taking my money every month for the subscription.
