Signed up for annual membership unlimited. Worked for a week after 3 weeks of trying to get help resolving the issue. I no longer have access to any subscriptions.

After a year of putting up with these inefficiencies and no fixes from the MR staff, I have canceled my subscription to MR. This app has taken away the joy of reading the articles.
