Cost of Subscription
How much is a subscription on the iPhone/iPad app?
There are two levels in the Los Angeles Times mobile app:
- Visitor: Enjoy a select number of free articles each calendar month in the Los Angeles Times mobile app.

What do I get with my subscription?
Your Unlimited Digital Access subscription includes access to the eNewspaper and the latimes.com website. If you purchased your subscription via an in-app purchase, you will need to create a separate registration in the app so that you have a username and password to use for access.
When do I get charged?
- Payment will be charged to your iTunes account at confirmation of purchase.
- Subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
- Account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period and identify the cost of the renewal.
- Subscriptions may be managed by the user and auto-renewal may be turned off by going to the user’s App Store account settings after purchase.
- Any unused portion of a free trial period, if offered, will be forfeited when the user purchases a subscription to that publication, where applicable.

Finally, tap Don’t Have an Account? Register Now at the bottom of the screen.
I tried to register, and it says, “Looks like you already have an account.” What do I do now?

I can’t remember my original password.
