Ratings and reviews

Tried to read a story and was told Id reached my free article limit. The limit t must be ZERO since I haven't tried to read a story in the app in many months. Its been bad with ads galore and links to products buy, but now they want me to subscribe to read their stories? No thanks. The same content is available elsewhere. Its a bait and switch app. Click on a headline and then told you have to be a subscriber. Remove the advertising and I'll use the app again.

It used to be good, I've used it for years. But recently, I'm pretty sure they put AI in charge of ads. The other day, I heard the say Wendy's commercial 7 times in a row. Basically everyday I turn it on because I like CNN news, but every time I hear the same commercial 3 times in a row, I turn them off. I get roughly 10 minutes daily

I've had to change my review. buyer beware: a little over a year ago they did something and I have not been able to get logged in since. I've tried numerous times to fix it. they continue to charge me even after it was reported to them. I've asked google for a refund and they cant/won't based on CNN policy. looks like I would have to change my entire financial set up just to prevent this recurring theft of what now is $32 a year.
