I've tried to use the app for years and it's very frustrating. The latest is a blue screen with "Network Error. Retry" I haven't been able to use the app for months, even after checking for updates

Do not subscribe to this nightmare of an app. I tried to cancel my subscription, and they continued to charge me and made the cancelation process very difficult. We are in the 21st century and they couldn't or wouldn't send a confirmation number and email!!!

I often have to uninstall, and reinstall this app in order to view the "paper"!
