ShameI am so disappointed that every article you need to have a subscription
Locks upTimes out and locks up. Fails to recognize my login.
Useless app unless you pay…Now you have to pay to read all your articles. No worries once I get a notification from the app about an article that catches my interest I just go to the internet and search and get updated that way (unless it’s something very local to the state then I don’t even bother).
