Updated app now charges for DailySkimm

When I first installed this app I could read their dailyskimm newsletter for free - which I can already do via email but I found this slightly quicker to access. I was only asked to pay a subscription for the other features of the app (which I did not use so did not pay). When I got a new phone and installed the latest version of the app, now no content is free, even the exact same newsletter I receive via email for free. The convenience of using the app over email is not worth a monthly subscription fee to me. Uninstalled the now useless app. Disappointed with this change.
Worth the tiny fee

theSkimm daily has been such an additive service in my life for the past few years - I had to sign up the day skimmahead was launched. The calendar integration is genius and appeals to my serious brain and flighty spirit. Onward ho team skimm!
My Reason

What’s the reason to pay? I don’t have to update my calendar. Skimm does it for me. I don’t have to read lengthy news articles. Skimm brings me important points in way that I can relate and understand. Why pay? Because you get what you pay for, so I pay for Skimm. I stand behind their BRAND.
Easy to digest news for the busy professional

I love that this app provides me a layman’s terms version of what’s happening in the news, politics, media, etc. I don’t have to try to research more information online unless I’m really interested in a specific topic. I work at least 40 hours per week - sometimes 60. So listening to the “notes” is helpful for me on my way to work. If you are extremely knowledgeable on politics, geography, history, and just generally what’s going on in the news then this isn’t the app for you. It’s for someone who barely has time to work, eat, sleep let alone know what’s going on. OR just a more digestible factual explanation of trending topics. Highly recommend and worth the small monthly fee!!
How do I cancel?

Not easy to find headlines. Hard if not impossible to customize. Seriously, how do I cancel.
Love to Skimm

I love the information I get from Skimm. The writing in clever, the topics relevant, not biased. I don’t watch the news much anymore, I feel Skimm cuts to the chase. I am so glad my friends introduced me! Thank you!

For $2.99 a month...I feel like I should be getting more for this subscription. The short daily news summary idea is great, but the latter half of it becomes advertising. I feel like the price isn’t quite worth the info. Please do a weekend edition at the very least...
Great content - but lose the cute Mean Girls references

I absolutely love the concept of DailySkimm and I am a regular listener/reader. It really helps mold a fundamental understandings of greater issues taking place today. HOWEVER, everything from the baby nursery jingle in the opening to the “How the F..” inserts I find terribly annoying. It’s like they feel the script needs to be dumbed down to keep young audiences looped in and, as a fellow member of this demographic, I find this a bit irritating. I wouldn’t be surprised if they compare Trump to Regina George - can we just keep it straight to seriousness of the topic, please?
