### 4/5 — UPDATE: You may need to delete the app and reinstall it if it's slow or shows other newspaper.

*2026-08-20, version 8.2*

I've always like to read the paper every morning, since I was a kid.  Reading it on my iPad on this app was always a pleasure. Recently this app wouldn't refresh my subscription in a timely manner, I was halfway done my coffee before today's paper *might* be ready to read.  And then it started showing a whole bunch of newspapers,  instead of just The Calgary Herald! But anyways after I deleted the app and reinstalled it, it started behaving again.

### 1/5 — Home Delvery

*2026-08-14, version 8.2*

Terribly Hit  and  miss.  Still charge for paper when on vacation stop I can’t reach  to explain to get an  adjustment 212 Dalcastle Mews NW

### 2/5 — Unfortunately no longer loads reliably and now ads?

*2026-08-13*

I've always liked to read the paper every morning, since I was a kid.  Reading it on my iPad on this app was always a pleasure. But lately this app won't refresh my subscription in a timely manner, I'm halfway done my coffee before today's paper *might* be ready to read.  And now I see an advertisement on the home screen before I even *get* to the newspaper!  Also, now it shows a whole bunch of newspapers,  instead of just The Calgary Herald! If I wanted all those other papers, I'd download a different app.  So, I can no longer recommend this app to read The Calgary Herald each morning.  Instead, I have to suggest the web browser epaper view, or maybe you'd rather to subscribe to the physical paper copy like it's 1995.

### 2/5 — Poor sports coverage

*2026-08-06, version 8.2*

Compare the Herald sports section with the Winnipeg Free Press. No standings schedules or generally poor coverage.

### 1/5 — Constant crashes

*2026-07-21, version 8.2*

In the last 3 weeks, this app just continuously crashes on my iPad Air 4th gen, and my iPhone 15 Pro max. Both running the latest Apple OS versions. Clearly there's a bad bug in this version that the developer has been very sluggish in fixing.

### 3/5 — Local news

*2026-07-08, version 8.2*

Not enough local news.

### 3/5 — Crashes after last update

*2026-06-29, version 8.2*

My iPhone 15 is having issues since the last update. The reader disappears partway through reading an article

### 3/5 — Navigation needs work

*2023-03-24, version 6.5*

The swiping gesture seems to be poorly implemented. I can’t count the number of times I have swiped up in order to scroll down on a page, only for the app to advance to the next page instead. Frustrating.

### 5/5 — Don Braid

*2023-02-16, version 6.5*

His regular front page biased opinions reflect poorly on this newspaper. His ilk push former loyal subscribers to alternative media where objective and accurate reporting exists.

### 1/5 — Poor update

*2023-01-09, version 6.5*

Latest version of app does not report correct date of issue, particularly for Monday paper. Previous version was much better.
