buy with only 1 USD for the first month

I am an English learner who wants to subscribe to a centre/centre-left newspaper. This is a fairly reasonable price for me as they’re also games to play

They just want our info to sell. (Phishing)

I just want an app to give straight news. This app requires you to sign in and they’re very open that they’re going to share your info with whomever. There’s no opting out or skip method. I can’t actually tell you the quality of the news because I won’t play their phishing game. Make no mistake, albeit subtle, this is phishing.

US news, can't change region; no notifications?

Disappointed that the app defaults to US-based for the news while the commentaries are UK-based, and that there's no way to change the setting and see UK-based news. I do not wish to be viewing detailed US news like what the President has just done or said hours ago. There also doesn't seem to be notifications. This is itself bad, though it's at least a relief that I do not need to be bombarded with US news.
