### 4/5 — Much improved

*2023-04-07, version 4.0.0*

The current version is an improvement over past versions of the app.  Although I wonder why when the app starts up it shuts off streaming music I have going on my iPad.

### 1/5 — No paper

*2022-12-25, version 4.0.0*

Many days I try to open the day’s edition but it remains on yesterday’s edition!

### 1/5 — Stop punishing subscribers with more ads

*2022-11-10, version 4.0.0*

This Nov. ‘22 version is better than the previous in that it actually functions.  However, REMOVE the additional ads at the bottom.  The content in the Herald has been reduced to so little that the only reason I subscribe is to support some sort of reasoned journalism in Boston.  Continuing to be assaulted by ads will push me to leave.

### 1/5 — Update Ruined App

*2022-11-05, version 4.0.0*

Thanks!  I used to spend $3-4 per week buying a few editions.  Then you updated the app in early November 2022.  Result?  No way to purchase individual editions, app no longer recognizes my login info and app won’t let me create a new account.  Perfectly logical business plan!  Take paying customers and prevent them from being able to give us money!  What a genius plan!  DELETE.

### 2/5 — 3rd Day this week its late

*2022-11-05, version 4.0.0*

Ok app and redesign seems ok but the e edition has been late all week  or its caching the old edition.  please fix

### 5/5 — Great Boston Herald at fingertips

*2022-09-30, version 3.6.24*

Instead of going and having to buy the herald at store etc, it’s at your fingertips. It’s great to look at local news to know what’s going on in the place you actually live.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2022-09-16, version 3.6.22*

Very user friendly. Can print out crossword puzzle.

### 4/5 — Password or username

*2022-09-06, version 3.6.22*

No apparent way to reset password or username when forgotten. This should be a basic reset capability

### 5/5 — Great App

*2022-08-17, version 3.5.06*

Love this app

### 3/5 — Like the product, iPad doesn’t

*2022-08-17, version 3.5.06*

Look forward to the paper every morning, enjoy the HERALD.  However , my iPad doesn’t.  I have to delete and reinstall the app almost weekly as the iPad seems to forget my login and treats me as a new subscriber and then locking me out forcing a delete and reinstall.
