3. And then I google and its free to download the pdf's! Which works 100x better than using this crashing,sluggish crapfest.

4. Best to just get the print edition delivered.I want a refund for my month of subscription because this app is a pile of dogshit.

5. This app doesn't let you create an account AND refuses to acknowledge that I paid for the yearly subscription.
