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
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.

Videos?
Many articles refer to videos that the Herald has obtained, but there are no links ever provided nor any embedded videos. Is this something that can be improved?
DARK MODE PLEASE
This is much needed
Promo
Signed up for promotional trial for $1. However, I never received but a few days of digital paper.

We love Joes insight. Seeing both sides. The element missing in today’s journalist.
Subscription
I signed up for yearly subscription over a month ago, still have no access to the Herald !!!! 😬
Update
Sorry but I don’t really like the update. I have read the Herald for years but I’m not sure I’ll continue.

Buggy and frustrating
This app is terrible. It’s plagued by pop up video ads and signs you out all the time. Then won’t let you sign back in. Read the New York Post instead. The herald is a joke
Review
Great overall of news and sports I even check my horoscope on the e edition I’ve read the herald for 65years and wouldn’t miss Howie Carrs articles each week being able to read it on my phone is the best keep up. The good job
Herald Review
I’ve been reading the Boston Herald’s for years.
It has never disappointed me.

Abysmal
As others have said, the product is amateurish & seemingly without oversight. Been this way for years so presuming they don’t care. Will cancel subscription.
Terrible user experience
App just repeats headlines over and over. Stale days-old articles.
EXTREMELY POOR QUALITY
Not even worth the price of a subscription. No front page, articles scattered around. Even worse set-up than the printed version of the paper. I signed-up for the digital version because I couldn’t always get a printed version, and I’m only 25 miles from Boston. How amazing that a once Great newspaper has declined so quickly!!!!

So hard to use and feels old
Doesn’t open on front news page of the paper. Repeats sections and stories. Hard to navigate between articles and sections. Needs a massive update.
rubbish app and rubbish paper
I don't know which is more amateurish--the app or the paper. I got a 6-month subscription for $1.82 and overpaid by $1.81.
