I never imagined I would read my morning paper electronically, but I love this application and enjoy it every morning with my coffee. I can also immediately share informative columns with my family. Old habits die hard, but this was a positive change. The delivery is always on time.

The app ignores notification category preferences. I don't care to receive notifications about sports stories, for example, and I have turned off that category, yet I get spammed with sports stories sometimes multiple times a day. Emails to support go unanswered and ignored.
