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?!

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.
