Disappointed

Disappointed with new format and more disappointed that the look and feel of the actual paper as it appears on my iPad every morning will soon vanish. I assume that this a cost cutting format - that’s too bad as it destroys the overall character and feel of the Hearld as I know it. And if and when the old format is finally suspended, I will most likely cancel my subscription and that’s too bad.

prefer the previous version

This new version offers more ways to view daily content.

YMMV, but I find I don’t prefer any of it.

I prefer to read the daily edition in “newspaper” mode. The previous version provided a superior presentation of that mode than this new one does. The previous version readily offered a smooth scroll of the pages to browse thru. This new version requires me to click to launch into newspaper mode, and then click “content” to arrive at its scrollable presentation. Once doing that, the scrolling presentation is inferior to the previous version’s doing so — as mentioned in other folks comments, it doesn’t offer the scrolling mode in a full-screen
view, making it less easy to view, which makes it inferior to the previous version.

More clicks, inferior presentation, for me I am uninstalling this new version and keeping with the previous version for as long as it will work.

The previous version was better.

Where is the paper?

Please cancel..if I can’t get the app to resemble the actual print paper..
Huge mistake

Not an improvement but a blast from the past.

The new app (or is it revised?), does not allow the page to fill the whole screen. The reason I started using the previous editions is that the app closely resembled a printed page. Now I have to enlarge each page as I flip to a new one. It’s very cumbersome. I am not a fan of customized news feeds. That is a problem with communication in America today. We can read or hear only what we want to read or hear. And not what we NEED to read or hear. I will continue to use the old app until it just does not work. Then I will reconsider whether or not the Herald is worth the subscription cost.
