STOP WITH THE ADS !!!
Yes I understand when I am using the free version to get basic news, since my Apple Watch tends to favor giving me notifications for Argus over anything, it was annoying to scroll over the ads. However, I have been PAYING $12 a month for a while now and it isn’t any different…. There is absolutely no difference other then they consider articles that will get more clicks “for subscribers only” just to get you to pay. If I am paying for my news please treat me as such and lose the ads EVERYWHERE. You already have my money just let me read the article!

Chewed up 11GB of data in 30 min
Installed this app on my new phone and left default settings in place. Checked the news on home WiFi then put phone away and drove to work. Came to find out that the app chewed up 11GB during the brief time between home and work WiFi. Now I have a big overage charge. Not immediately clear that setting “hands free update” to “never” is how to turn off data use. Why does a news app need to send that much data anyway if not for unnecessarily needy ads.
