Independent evidence report
Evidence and review signals
This is where the page changes from an app-store listing into an evidence report: findings, important reviews, pricing and a dated history.
What we measured
Each line is a measurement published as a measurement, never a verdict.
Each line is a measurement, published as a measurement. Where we have not looked, the line says so rather than reading as a zero.

Themes reported by reviewers
No theme reported
Counted from the reviews we have read for this app. "No theme reported" means no theme reached our reporting threshold — it is not a finding that nothing is wrong with this app, and we do not say it is.

Under 65% five-star

Representative public review excerpts shown as user reports, not Appworthy audit evidence.
“Predatory app. Impossible to cancel subscription. The reporters are amazing but the subscription service is predatory.”
“Can't cancel. Keeps taking payments. Why can't I un-enroll from ez pay or simply cancel my subscription from this terrible newspaper? Scam. Doesn't even deserve 1 star.”
