ShameI am so disappointed that every article you need to have a subscription

Locks upTimes out and locks up. Fails to recognize my login.

Ginny, Aug 2, 2026

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).
