Won't let me view articles even though I am subscribed.

I subscribed at least a month ago...set up my email/password to get into the app site, saved this info to my phone and now WCF Courier says it is incorrect.....and do you know how much stuff you have to do to reset everything?? This is way too frustrating. I want my money back. So sad. You beg for subscribers and then when you get a new one, things don't work right. Fix your app.
