The app suddenly plays YouTube videos with sound (content, not ads). Can't turn the sound off. Can't stop the video either, because there is an overlay menu that won't go away, which also means you can't actually see the video. App support shoots themselves in the foot with an inane email setup: They route incoming emails through a third party, which forwards them in a way that breaks the SPF record, so the emails are automatically declined. Then they respond by saying I should email them! Fail

notification came to enter a contest, because I am a subscriber. so. when I tapped on the link, it does NOT take me to the contest to enter, all I get is a pop up that says 'you're already a subscriber' .. it's supposed to take me to enter the contest FOR subscribers, but it doesn't, it never does!! can't even get through on the phone, says press 3 for re-subscribers and text help, do that, then dead air. can't even get in touch to complain about bad app or talk to a person.

Hi Ann Marie, thank you for bringing this to our attention. We’ve identified the issue with the contest links for our subscribers and have implemented a fix. This won't happen for future contests, and we appreciate your patience while we got this sorted!

Update: Force closing and restarting the app resolved the display issues in the articles. I still have occasions where I can't scroll/read to the end of all the comments on some articles. Original review: Many, many glitches in the app. It is easier to just read on the website.
