For a couple of weeks now keeps you in a "log in" loop where you can't even access articles with a paid subscription. It doesn't look like I'm the only customer having this problem either

Bad app by a bad media conglomerate. Constantly freezes. Will charge you even after you cancel. Was charged for 5 months after I submitted a cancellation request. Cancelled cause app sucks and is overpriced for the quality.

There website has no updates on important issues occurring in the community immediately. You have to go to social media to get real time news. Most of their coverage consists of wire reports snd there is no in-depth investgative reporting of local issues. So much for local news. And the paywall got me to uninstall their app.
