The LAT sends me notices every once in a while telling me it's made
another deduction in my bank account. I thought it was only 4 times a
year, but I just discovered that my subscription is costing me almost
$1000 a year. That rate has gone up drastically in the last year or so.
Not sure if keeping track of what's going on around the world is worth it.

Now post has restarted after a long hiatus my letters to the UK have on average
taken 3 weeks for airmail[1] I assume the same is true from the UK.

Don't know, but the native app feels faster and the UI a little more
slick. You can certainly cut and paste easily enough
