1/5Not an easy sight
This site is terrible. The old one worked much better. It jumps around, locks up and will not enlarge without jumping off of the page most of the time. I wish they would bring back the old version.

1/5New App
New app is terrible. Old addition was easier to read. If I did not have it on another device I would cancel.

1/5Ads?
If I have to pay for your service, you better not make me watch ads. You did though. Done.

1/5Old news
Very little new news makes it to the app. Sometimes the articles are over a week old.

1/5Problems
Resubscribed digital access but not thru ITunes. Won’t let me link accounts and no one responds to emails or calls. Have they got too big to worry about customer service???????
