Always enjoyed the sun.

★★★★

I like it a lot, not overwhelming and good control with the notifications. Just wish you could assign your own individual notification sound.

★★★

My delivery service is very unreliable so this is better than nothing but I would still prefer the printed version if we could get anyone to deliver it on a regular basis.

★★

Can't search, many articles very old. Pretty much worthless.

★

Terrible News reporting. Stories about drag queens and today over 10 stories about Coachella. Not everyone fawning over this. Also hard to cancel subscriprion.
