Ratings and reviews

The content and news alerts are great, but if you only have the free version, you quickly find out that many of the news alert notifications you receive are for articles that are only available for paying subscribers. Very annoying. I wish there was an option that would only send me alerts for articles I have access to. Also, every time you open the app, you're greeted with an ad for their subscription service, which isn't cheap. Ultimately, I've decided to delete the app for these reasons.

I have no problems to speak of with this app. I am enjoying it. I decided to subscribe this year! I have enjoyed the additional articles. Of course, I wish it was free but as a former journalist and TV anchor I realize the predicament that newspapers are in at this point with no one buying the paper product. The writing is crisp and clear and for the most part unbiased which is hard to find. The ads that are sent in separate emails can be annoying.

This a subsequent review, twice I sent in the documentation the programmers requested and I got no response. Maybe if everyone quit paying they would fix it. I have been an ad-free subscriber for many many years. Even though I am now paying a very high monthly fee, for a very poorly written app. The programmers seem to be unable to grasp the idea that when you pay for ad free and titles that you should get what you paid for. You should refund half my monthly fee for a product only half done.
