Being out of state this is my best way of being back home

Love it. Sitting at a watering hole in S.C. and not missing a story back home. Better living through modern technology.
★☆☆☆☆A Google User· Sep 15, 2013
I checked back to see if they fixed the problem: Now it updates - Headlines, photos - BUT no articles. Here is the kicker - it has been like this for 4 days! Does noone on staff check these things? So there is an updated app. Lovely. But OP does NOT UPDATE THE NEWS. Time and again these people fail to update the content -ALL THE CONTENT - for DAYS at a time. Then I went online to check the news. Now a person must create an account to access that. Do you people think you are the New York Times? You are fortunate ANYONE wants to visit your popup ad infested site at all. You are killing off the only followers you have left. So sad. Goodbye, and good luck.

This place will steel your money. Signed up online, autopay online but can't cancel online. Called yesterday they can't find my account, but they just tried to run another transaction autopay to my card. Just cancel me already. Online is convenient for the business, but they don't care about you as an individual 🖕

Uninstalled. It at least works now but when bringing up articles the background is gray and the font is a medium gray making it hard to read. I also gave up on the E Paper because of issues. Used to read the Oakland Press all the time. Sad.
