It's getting better but app still has issues: - Notification settings erased weekly. I must re-enable them manually. - App does not identify LJS hyperlinks so you must log in with a separate browser when clicking shared hyperlinks. UPDATE 8/26/25 v9.18 has been retaining push notifications setting! Nice. Please fix to allow LJS hyperlinks to default to LJS app vs browser. Edited

Awful. You can purchase a subscription through buttons on their web page. But to cancel they make it difficult. Even though there is a canceled subscription option in the app. You just get a message to call to cancel. I called and the auto answer does give an option to cancel. When that was selected it answered I don't know if I can help you with that and then repeated to call during business hours. UnSubscribing should be as easy as subscribing. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I find this paper informative and to the point. If I could get the hard copy the same day, I would subscribe to it, too!

Now the app functions fine, but everything is behind a pay wall. So much for LJS. back to NPR and BBC. New update broke the app, asks for permissions, fails to load and most of the articles just link to the website anyway. The advertisements have gotten larger and more obtrusive and of course they're loading normally while the app is at a standstill. Sloppy job at the upgrade sacrificing functionality for a slick look Edited

There are too many ads for something that you pay a subscription to. To make matters worse, the ads make the app user-unfriendly by limiting reading/user space and by also popping up when you try to get to a story. The app is also just overall clunky.

I understand your frustration, however; Ad revenue is a major source of revenue for newspaper outlets.
