Get rid of the pay wall! The Herald has questionable journalistic integrity as-is, there is no way a significant number of people are going to start paying $13/month for a subscription. Competing area news outlets are still free. Revamp your advertising strategy and keep the news available to the whole population, not just people that can afford $150/year for the local paper.
This app is frustrating. I’ve paid for a digital edition, but frequently while I’m reading an article, the page zips to the right and is gone. Then I have to hunt for the article again, and then the same thing happens. I tried clearing my cache and that didn’t help.
I loved the previous app! This new version freezes up constantly & I don’t like the layout at all. The previous version was much easier to go from story to story in the list on the left. Definitely NOT an improvement at all!!!
I miss reading the "real" newspaper. The critical difference is the old print paper perhaps 50 articles a day, weather, obituaries, births, local news. The new Herald has perhaps 1 local, new, article a day.
I know national news is important, but there are plenty of other places where someone can get that. BH I feels needs to have more local news on a daily basis.
I thought my older iPhone was the problem. I have new phone iOS 16 now & if anything the stories load slower than before. The website is clunky and difficult to use compared to my NYT app. Why?!
Like they want you to search through old archives and resent issues to find an article from last week. This app wastes your time and raises your blood pressure.
My subscription does not end until June. I keep getting msg saying my free time is up. I have reported this before and it stops for a short time only. It's a pain Trying to report this is even a bigger pain and very time consuming
This latest is version is impossible to use. It doesn’t work like an e-edition of the newspaper. More ads. Once you pinch open an article you can’t get back to the full page.
I now like the APP. I finally found what I was looking for but only by luck. I wanted to read the actual paper and found your other APP the bellingham herald that goes direct to the e-print edition. Disregard, I'm on a tablet. The view pane can't be resized. The settings do not work. Option to read the actual paper is gone. Looks like your trying to compete mor with larger news outlets which is saturated. Hope you get this more local.
We're excited to offer this app and hope you find it useful. If you are having trouble seeing content after our Summer redesign, you may need to reset your cache. In the app, click on More, Settings, Reset and Reset all settings and cache.
I love looking at this app almost everyday, BUT the newest update took away job listings and classifieds from being able to obtain. Please bring them back to the app. I don't have problems with crashing or request to login to anything. It's a solid app, I felt like the update was made to be like the Seattle times app, but it should stick with its own style.
I find it difficult to get the proper view on my screen iPhone 6s. Especially annoying is the comics section where I cannot turn the phone sideways and see the whole strip. Also have been unable to print the crossword puzzle. News stories or not shown in their entire day and make it difficult to move to the part that is not on the front page. :-((
I've been using this app for months, now suddenly in the middle of reading stories I'm told I have to have a paid subscription to read anything. Most of the time I only get one new story a day anyway. This app is a joke! Don't bother downloading this app. If this app isn't fixed back to. A FREE app very, very quickly I'm going to delete it and not look back. You guys should be offering at least basic news to locals. That why you exist, isn't it? GET IT FIXED ASAP, OR LIKE YOUR PRINT PAPAER IT WILL FAIL TOO.
Not very useful and the edit function does not work. Elections are finished so take it off. Also I'm unable to locate an option to view northwest or national news. Ill uninstall and stick to the mobile site which is better but not by much.
Finding digital replica was difficult. I'd like it to be one of the first options available. To find it now, you have to go to "obituaries and more" I still like viewing the replica paper. I like to see the layout.
Used this app for almost a year, found it satisfactory until now. Constant add popups started a while ago, but now in addition to that you are required to pay for a subscription and log in. Going back to buying the paper on Sundays and leaving it at that.
As of a day or two ago, it's started asking me to log in after I tap on an article. don't know if this is a bug or what but I guess I'll have to trash it, because I'm not going to log in.
I think its stupid i have to pay to read most of the articles now, and i will not do that, i will get my news else where if this is going to be permanent!! Way stupid!
