The app embeds advertising EVERYWHERE and it’s impossible to scroll articles without accidentally clicking one. Im always having to relogin and it feels like it’s part of their strategy. Today I kept getting a pop up telling me an update was available and when i click it, Im taken to a spot to write a review….do better SCJ. And then there is the obvious liberal bias that tends to drift into their local reporting as well.

I subscribe but get asked to login way to often - my other newspaper subscriptions recognize me and don’t require such frequent logins
