Ratings and reviews

They updated their games and puzzle page. Now I cannot access any of them. I have a Samsung S9. It doesn't do anything when I press the accept button for cookies. Ehen I try to do a crossword puzzle it tells me I have an ad blocker on. Emailed them twice and they don't even have the decency to respond.

Having relatives there, this allows me to keep up with what's happening there... Unfortunately I'm suddenly unable to log in to the digital subscription with no notice. Why?

They want you to pay for a subscription. They put up about 4 articles per day, and they want me to pay for that. This app ought to be free. Nothing else to say.
