How can you not give the Houston Press five stars? Want your money back? It's FREE!! These guys are…read morereally doing Houston residents a service. Not only do they have a list of the coolest events going on around town, they do some hard-hitting, in-depth reporting on some issues that the major newspaper might not want to get into. These days, the press is generally cutting back on everything, but nothing beats a reporter on the beat, asking difficult questions at City Hall. Since this is a weekly publication, the Press has the opportunity to go more in-depth in some issues that a daily newspaper mightn't want to take on. It's all free! The paper is heavily driven by advertisements, but they tend to be colorful and interesting to read. I wish they had more regular features that seem to have been cut out, like the News of the Weird, or a few more cartoons. I miss Life in Hell! Houston doesn't have a lot of options when it comes to free local news to read, and this is a valuable resource. I suggest you pick one up where ever fine free publications are served. If you're not into the news copy in this free publication, it is always good as a fly swatter or material for papier mache.

Free is always a good thing in my book…read more Whenever I'm bored I pick up a copy and check out what's happening in Houston. From time to time there are some really interesting articles from some cool POVs. My biggest complaint about this thing is the endless adult ads. Yes I understand that a free publication has to pay for itself somehow, but really how many super spas and strip clubs are there?!

For three years being with Fast Boy Marketing, I am so happy with the service, their monthly charge…read moreis clear and straight forward. Fast Boy even gave me 5 months credit for not opening during COVID-19. Support team is extremely nice and helpful, specially Ms. Nguyen Luu, Mr. Son. and team.

I also feel secure and confident now when I can keep my customers in tact and communicate with them via sending out promotions, reminders ....and ton of good features... Thanks a lot, Fast Boy Marketing. Lotus Nails Spa.

I had an issue with a t shirt order and they remade the tshirts at no cost! The owner treats you like family from the moment you walk in the door. Now I will say, if you are rude and uppity don't expect that warm family feel. The owner is a smart and successful man and does not take kindly to those who are too busy for basic mannerisms. *ahem the reviewer below* Smile & treat the staff the way you would like to be treated and you will receive top-notch service that can't be beat!

This one, published by the Houston In-Town Chamber of Commerce,…read morehas an inner-loop focus, plus they host lots of networking events at area bars (even breakfast events - not at bars). The articles tend to be about local events and personalities, and the party photos are kept to a minimum (two big pluses). I actually find this magazine somewhat useful in determining good contacts/events for the central area of Houston. Another plus - no nasty cosmetic surgery ads!

This is not about Houston Chronicle as a publication. There are a lot of excellent writers…read morecontributing to the excellence of the publication and I am happy to read it. However, as a paying customer, the Chronicle falls short. I signed up for a deal of .99 cents for 6 months. After ballooning up to $25.66 and feeling like I only read a few articles a month, I decided to cancel. Tiffany was my support person and initially was extremely cordial and offered everything down to the point where it was $0.99 a week, but once I mentioned I wanted to cancel again, she became cold and tried to rush me off the phone. Did not offer any kind of confirmation via email and said she's unable to do so. It helped me understand that I was actually making the right decision after all. The cancellation process was a nightmare. One can only cancel over the phone (#1) and the waits were extremely long. There was no indication of how long the waits would be and the automated prompts were frustrating to deal with. Eventually the phone line would disconnect after 20 minutes and I only learned recently that the phones are only open till 5pm on weekdays. To add to the frustration, their digital support service via email (#2) does not quickly reply. Eventually, I was able to call in the mid afternoon and cancel my subscription over the phone. They offered me as low as $.99 each week for 3 months, but given the technology woes, the inability to view billing statements online, and the hassle it took to cancel I declined. ___________ (#1) (713) 362-7211 (#2) digitalsupport@hearst.com / help@houstonchronicle.com

If I could give 0 stars I would. This is the worst subscription I've ever signed up for…read more I signed up because I was really interested in the newspaper and looked forward to receiving my daily paper. I paid $30 for a 4 week paper service. After 2 weeks, I had not received anything. I called and emailed and they bounced me around from person to person for days. Finally after 3 weeks, I got ahold of someone who could not give me a refund but credited my account and extended my subscription until November as an apology. They confirmed my address and phone number and ensured me this time I would definitely receive my paper. It has been over a week and still no paper. This is a scam. I paid $30 and have received absolutely nothing from them.
