App is very glitchy. Reading articles is very frustrating. Ads constantly load causing jumps in page, scrolling lags, jumps to home screen while reading with no prompting. Definitely not worth the money I'm paying. Do better. The money you take is a contract to provide an acceptable service. You are definitely not living up to your end of the bargain. Note: I see some say update fixed this, not true. I have cleared cache and uninstalled/reinstalled to no avail.

Hard to cancel and Gannett (Parent Company) keeps raising the price. Even with a subscription, each article has thousands of ads. It's a total scam.

update 11/23: rating lowered yet again. i'm a subscriber and would like to post comments on articles but for some reason no working keyboard loads on my android; used to work well but it's been this way for a few months. this should be easy but it just ain't. 1 star. update 10/22: rating lowered. subscribers shouldn't have to deal with full-screen pop-up ads on every story they read. 2 stars. update 11/21: app is functional (as opposed to "good") and not very customizable. 3 stars.
