Awful. You can purchase a subscription through buttons on their web page. But to cancel they make it difficult. Even though there is a canceled subscription option in the app. You just get a message to call to cancel. I called and the auto answer does give an option to cancel. When that was selected it answered I don't know if I can help you with that and then repeated to call during business hours. UnSubscribing should be as easy as subscribing. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

It's getting better but app still has issues: - Notification settings erased weekly. I must re-enable them manually. - App does not identify LJS hyperlinks so you must log in with a separate browser when clicking shared hyperlinks. UPDATE 8/26/25 v9.18 has been retaining push notifications setting! Nice. Please fix to allow LJS hyperlinks to default to LJS app vs browser.
