FraudstersWould leave 0 stars if possible. Their Yelp and TrustPilot reviews tell the tale - fraudulent billing and rude customer service. I’ve reported them to the BBB and Colorado Attorney General and filed a case with PayPal. Steer far away from these scammers.

DupedI didn’t see a notice for payment. And I thought if I downloaded this app I could easily remove it if I didn’t want it. Boy was I wrong on both counts.

No access with free version.To read more than just a couple articles a day, you need a subscription that is rather pricey for the material that is offered.
