This should be a basic reset capability ### 4/5 — Review of Boston Herald. *2022-06-01, version 3.5.06* I’ve been reading this paper for years and it still doesn’t disappoint. ### 4/5 — Serviceable App *2022-05-05, version 3.5.06* Works well although sometimes has trouble keeping up with larger resolution color images in the comics section. ### 5/5 — Great app *2022-03-02, version 3.5.06* The daily newspapers download automatically. ### 5/5 — Boston Herald App *2022-02-21, version 3.5.06* EXACTLY how you would read the hard copy…only cleaner hands. Easy to maneuver/navigate. Simple. ### 5/5 — Great App *2022-02-18, version 3.5.06* The duel views provide a way for anyone to read a newspaper as they wish. We’ll designed and good daily content. I start every day with the eHerald ! ### 5/5 — Great app *2022-02-17, version 3.5.06* The Herald app is a quick and easy way to get true accurate news. The cost (free) of this app makes it a no brainer. ### 4/5 — Sports *2022-02-12, version 3.5.06* Good sport coverage- need more of Howie ### 5/5 — Boston Herald is a great newspaper *2022-01-29, version 3.5.06* Great content and articles! Plus an easy to use app. Would highly recommend! ### 5/5 — JeffKid34 *2022-01-24, version 3.5.06* Great app. Informative. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2022-01-20, version 3.5.06* Enjoy reading it daily. The app works perfectly and is a credit to the Herald staff in providing this access at such a reasonable price. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Great App *2022-01-19, version 3.5.06* Great news reporting! Accurate and on the ball! Love reading the Boston Herald each morning! ### 5/5 — Wonderful. *2022-01-07, version 3.5.06* Always loads fast and easy to read. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — Really Disappointing *2021-09-28, version 4.32.64* This site has gone from being my favorite place to get local news, to a site I no longer even visit. In their desperation, they are trying to force you to a login in which you have to agree to having your information sold. And yet, you also get all the requisite ads. It is a sad state of affairs when the BG is the more palatable site ### 1/5 — Now one of the worst *2018-11-11, version 4.9.13* The Herald App for years was one of the most solid and reliable. Now, with the current version, it’s a cr@p shoot if you’ll get your morning read before noon. And that’s usually after a call to customer service. The customer service people at the Herald are nice, but it would be more convenient to go to the local library and read the paper. ### 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 ### 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. ### 3/5 — Herald APP *2022-02-07, version 3.5.06* Content good. Display fair - poor. Many words run together, capital letters and small letters appear jumbled. Occasional pages are unreadable as if foreign ### 3/5 — Retired *2021-11-13, version 4.35.00* Old reader of BH! ### 3/5 — Boston Herald *2021-05-04, version 4.32.64* Still love the paper. But am writing to say that the new page turning button is not as good as the old. Without intending to, I often open up an article instead of turning the page ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 5/5 — Great App *2022-08-17, version 3.5.06* Love this app ### 5/5 — Review *2022-06-28, version 3.5.06* Enjoy reading every morning ### 5/5 — Accurate and timely *2022-06-26, version 3.5.06* By far the best e news periodical in the country. Kudos to BH! ### 5/5 — Love it. *2022-05-26, version 3.5.06* Love it, love it. Read it almost every night. Wish I had this a long time ago. ### 5/5 — Apple Problems *2022-05-14, version 3.5.06* Very often the Herald app won’t open on my I-pad saying to try a free trial and buy after. Since I have been buying this App for years I’ve call your office and been told it’s an Apple issue with all I-pads. I very often have to reboot my I-pad and the download usually happens. I love your App, please fix it with I-pads. p.s. I also have the NY Post App with no problem, although your paper digital set up is better.

Much prefer to paper ### 5/5 — Herald Review *2022-03-27, version 3.5.06* Limited corrupt news agency ### 5/5 — Looking forward to BH online everyday- good habit *2022-03-24, version 3.5.06* Every “page” is orthodox spending some time with…. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
