    It warms my heart every day when I login to the Athens Banner Herald and see “Good morning Judy.” You definitely start my day the right way. Thanks so much!

  • The old E paper app was much better

    I don't like the E paper feature on the full news app at all. The response time is very laggy, particularly for zooming in and out. And the decision to not use the built-in iPad share menu cripples this feature. In addition, shared links are useless unless the recipient has the full news app. Why would I even need to share a link to an article if the recipient already has the app and can read it by simply opening the epaper? I realize that I can share an image of the epaper article. But this feature is extremely kludgy compared to being able to share the actual text of the article or a link to a webpage, showing the article, that is not behind a pay wall. The old E paper app was much better. But apparently it is now abandonware. It now has a super annoying nag screen that encourages the user to install the Banner-Herald full news app. I have already installed the full news app. But the nag screen continues to pop up every time I open the current app and every time I switch away from the app and back to it!! The only advantage of the new app is that the news is more up-to-date.
  • We need the journalists that provide this education!

    Many thanks
  • Athens banner herald app!

    This is the worst app in the history of apps! You can’t go from small letters to large! Most apps let you decide how big or small you want the letters to be! When it goes to large you are reading a small section of the paper ! If you go small, you can only read the title of the story! I have read this paper for over 50 years, I am 82 years old! Y’all can do better! Curtis and Diane Smith
  • Worthy, easy to use newspaper site

    Keeps me up-to-date on local activities in my area.
  • Practically Useless!!

    For many years I subscribed to print edition but the current rates for print or online versions are way too expensive. Most of the articles featured in the app are for subscribers only thereby making the app useless. Only tho g I use it for these days are the obituaries.
  • When it works, it’s fine

    Long time subscriber and still, I keep getting blocked from content with an ad telling me to subscribe. You’d think something as basic as recognizing a logged in user as a current subscriber wouldn’t be difficult.
  • Terrible

    Every time I try to read something it says “only for subscribers” which I am. So I sign in (again!) go back to article , get an ad asking if I want to subscribe. Erghhhhhhh
  • More local news

    Needs more local news stories and fewer sports stories.
