Ni siquiera la he usado pero todos le ponen 1, 2 🌟 lo que significa que los encargados/la empresa debe ponerle atención a sus usuarios

La App es pésima No suscribir. Me suscribí a través de Play Store, mi suscripción está activa, pero no tengo acceso al diariorio. Llamé a la oficina del Espectador y me dices que hay dos suscripciones: una es a través de la App y la otra directamente con el diario. La suscripción que se obtiene a través de Play Store supuestamente te da acceso a cierto contenido, pero es limitado. Si quieres tener acceso a todo el contenido debes pagar la suscripción directamente en la página web del Espectador.
