It asked if I want to support The Guardian and had an introductory price and when I pushed the button they charged me full price. Anyway, to get a refund for that.? Please cancel this review. I just found an email that said that the subscription was at the trial price. Sorry.

The Guardian provides exactly what Americans need to help take our blinders off. While traveling over the years throughout Europe and Mexico, I've been able to see first hand from a perspective outside the US what the term 'ugly American' really means. Trump embodies that humiliating, but not inaccurate summation. By removing the rock under which far right racist and religious extremists hid, he's brought our dark underbelly into the light. That truth has brought heartbreak and shame to progressives not only during this Trump autocracy, but for a lifetime. We love our country, and are not True Believers, but its true patriots. In our determination to rout Trump and his MAGA cult out of office, we can only hope the world will finally understand by our example that Christian Nationalists and Evangelicals do not represent the majority of the American electorate. The eligible voters are under a third, the majority of which are generational descendants of the Confederate South. Consciously or not, collective rage at their loss still fester. It's not an exaggeration to expect, when asked, that a frightening number would see no problem in bringing back slavery. Please forgive us, Guardian readers. We are a democratic republic and social democracy. We, as liberals and humanitarians, vow to bring a correction to this political aberration we're suffering through now. After November of this year and November of 2028, there will be a sea change, a tectonic shift in our political system. We owe it not only to ourselves, but to you and to the world outside our wounded and debilitated United States. Then the healing can begin.

I like the app normally, but over the last few weeks the app crashes daily. I have the most recent update.
