Former Daily Herald correspondent
Jim Baumann used to be the news editor back at the Daily Herald and now I know The Daily Herald is employee-owned.
Coverage for all of Lake County
I live in Florida now. I lived In Wauconda for my entire life until we moved 6 1/2 years ago. I have had the Daily Harold app on my ipad and phone for 20 years plus. I looked forward every morning to reading your paper with my morning coffee. I looked forward to being informed on “Lake county news” including Wauconda and other northwest suburban towns such as Fox Lake, Lake Zurich, Grayslake, and Waukegan to name a few. Now all I get in Mount Prospect, Arlington Heights, Naperville, and Des Plains. I want to see what is happening with Wauconda sports, but all I get is Fremd, Stevenson, Buffalo Grove and Wheeling. I have had my Herold app for more than 20 years but now the formate has changed. I called customer service to see if there was a different version I needed to switch to and was told “ it is what it is “! So sad that the northwest suburbs is being so neglected.

This app is a joke
This app is terrible, and the Daily Herald refuses to fix all the bugs, the last updated version was 3 years ago.
Try joining the digital age
Why no DuPage or Cook County news in those sections? Why no news of significance in Top Stories. If I wanted a few local stories about restaurants closing, I can look up that “news” in The Patch. Horrible.
What’s Happened?
The app is not working as it once was. About six weeks ago seems everything changed. The Business section has more articles than usual, a lot of repeats and only one line of text showing. No articles for DuPage County today. At least the strange characters seem to be gone now. Please fix. Thanks

Needs search capabilty
App is fine - needs a search engine similar to web version.
Sent me to collections for $40
I will never buy this newspaper again. I don’t even owe this company money and they sent me to collections and dropped my credit score 47 points over $40.
No search?
I downloaded this specifically so I could research one ongoing news story and there’s no search feature. Seriously, how is that even omitted?
No comics?
Selecting sections is OK but no section is shown for neighbors so what do you select for the comics section? And how about Sat when it's in the main section?
Help?

Keeps crashing
I love this app… I have been using it daily for several years. Really like that app looks just like the actual paper version. Love to be able to move from section to section. But in the last few weeks every time I try to read on my iPad mini, the app just shuts down. Very frustrating. Please fix whatever bugs are going on so that I can read the whole paper.

Frustrating
When it works it’s great. Unfortunately it constantly crashes. They say they are aware and it’s being addressed but still no improvement.
Needs a few tweaks
This app needs a search engine so we can find articles that appear in the print version. Also should offer a section to find columnists, like Patricia Babcock McGraw and Burt Constable.
Constant crashes from flash Ads
App keep crashing every time it appears to present a new ad graphic. Not worth the aggravation. Will get my news elsewhere.
Great Way to start the day!
Love the App. Maneuvers easily and gets me up and running to start my day.
Terrible
I didn't think this app could get worse but it has. Today, 8/25/17, as I write this at 7:30 a.m., the opening page "Top Stories" does not contain a single new story. Each of the 25 articles listed is at least three (3) days old, all dating back to 8/21 and 8/22. Pathetic! And as I've stated on previous reviews, the overall content is poor. Also, the app doesn't allow finger pinches to increase the size of text or photos.

Ok
Ok for overview. Synopsis of the printed version.
A Waste
I was disappointed at turning the pages of my actual newspaper to find limited information in the "Recent home and property sales" there was a general, NOT a specific URL. I opened the app and was further disappointed. There is NO search function. There was NO neighborhood section, that intuitively sent me to the content I was looking for. I looked in each of the sections and found another disappointment, the Cook County area "had no content in the feed"!
A complete waste of time!

Easy to use
Like the app. It is easy to use and reasonable to navigate. Allows us to occasionally check out what's up back where we lived for so long.
Good app
Hate the ad that pops up the second I open the app and the sensationalist ads about Kelly Ripa and Ellen Degeneres insult me.
The news content and navigation are great.
The news content and navigation are great.
Great app
Especially great for an Arlington Heights resident. I like the local, global, and Chicago news.
