2024-08-03	Mm*****	Has much advertising included with subscription and charged nearly double for no ad version without getting prior consent. Customer support is lacking too.

2023-06-18	Da*****	I have 7 day digital and Sunday delivery but only get delivered about once a month. They say they'll give me credit which they don't and don't pay for my trip to the store to pick up a copy.
