App is unstable

And the writers are too. This paper is only for liberals and has no problem voicing their negative views of conservatives. I’m cancelling once my promotion ends.

Bham herald website app

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?!

Response from developer

Try clearing the cache on the app and then delete and reinstall. If the issue continues, please take a video recording or screen shots of the app screen and email it to mobile-team@mcclatchyinteractive.com to resolve this issue. Thank you.

Bellingham Herald app

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.

Response from developer

We apologize for the issue you are having, delete and reinstall the app, this should resolve the loading issue. If the problem continues, take screenshots or a video recording and email them to mobile-team@mcclatchyinteractive.com for further assistance.
