I'm getting an additional "download the app" page before I can access the Journal on the app as a paid subscriber. If I leave the page and come back to it (still open) the pop up is there again before I can continue where I left off. Customer service has been unresponsive all week after I have messaged them twice, so I thought I would try here.

I like reading the paper in the print format. I find reading the articles very frustrating on my android tablet. It never zooms in or turns the pages like I want. I spend more time flipping back and forth, in and out than reading. I also have the app on my chrome book and I have a much easier time.

Unsubscribing and uninstalling. I said for years I would, if the ads didn't behave, and they just got worse. I hate how, when reading an article, an ad will change size and shove away what I'm reading, for some gimmick that only the most gullible mainstream trash reader would tap on. And just now, I dismissed a fullscreen popup, only to have another take its place. That's it; I'm done. ProJo, sadly, will surely fold anyhow, for abusing their subscribers like this, so I won't miss much.
