Ratings and reviews

I will be canceling my subscription. I get news a day after it shows In the Spectator. Same stories in print each day. This is not getting the news from the Spectator as it differs from the actual printed paper. I will go back to the old way.

Either it is not possible to enter a vacation stop .. or .. it is hidden in the app and not easy to access. In my other news subscription G & M and NYT I can access my account/ manage subscription from the home page. I still don't see a way to do that in the Spec. I scroll down looking for a footer but the home page ends at the last article with no footer / no contact link. When I go off home page I can access a Contact Us link but that does not provide account/ subscription only a 1 800 #

a great format. easy to navigate and pleasing to the eye. articles provide a full overview of the topics in a concise, yet brief manner. I also appreciate that advertising is not the "in your face" approach.
