Unfortunately, they give you limited clicks in order to force you to buy a subscription to their paper. If I had the money to burn on it I would get the paper instead.The info in the paper is more accessible and has more content than the online version (obits, funny pages, puzzles, coupons and local adds, etc.) They made revenue off of clicks, but if people dump the app (like I did) they lost even that revenue. Hope it works out for them. ### 1/5 — Just as good as the print copy *2014-01-01, version 4.7.0* Too bad they don't offer zero stars. Doesn't work at all on iPad. ### 2/5 — Herald dispatch *2013-07-06, version 4.5.5* App does not provide near as much news as to when it first appeared. No more sports info, obituary s or regional news. App not near as good as when it first appeared. Original app was nice particularly when you was out of town. This newer revised app is hardly worth opening. ### 1/5 — Not good *2013-05-13, version 4.3.0* Way too limited ### 2/5 — No EVENTS! Limited CLASSIFIEDS *2013-04-02, version 4.3.0* We're tired of reading the articles of past events, knowing that we MISSED them bc there is no events section in this app!! Highly disappointed. Have been for a year. Also, we'd like to see an expanded classified section. I want to see stuff other than cars & jobs (sales). ### 2/5 — new app mobile *2013-03-02, version 4.3.0* this doesn't seem to be working. top sites appear only as a scroll across top of page. Can't get to any other tiles but weather and opinions on iPad although i can get the total page with all tiles on iPhone. I'm sure this needs an update otherwise it's useless on iPad. ### 3/5 — Alaherdfan *2013-02-16, version 4.3.0* Like some things about this version and few about the old. But glad to have it to see what is going on in the hometown area. ### 1/5 — Mobile ap *2013-01-28, version 4.3.0* Horrible. You have to watch the ticker to get any news. Am I doing something wrong? ### 1/5 — Downgraded! V(4.3.0) *2013-01-22, version 4.3.0* The older version was more fluent, user-friendly, and simply had a better design. The newer app is difficult to navigate and quickly find desired sections and articles. ### 3/5 — Obituaries *2013-01-17, version 4.3.0* Are the obituaries on here? If so where? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Junk app *2022-02-21, version 6.0* Will not keep you logged in. Constantly have to delete and reinstall app. Will not be renewing my digital subscription. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2022-02-14, version 6.0* If you're considering paying/viewing the Herald Disgrace through the app, don't bother. If I could give it zero stars I would. The app won't keep up logged in. I've had to remove and add it back multiple times. Glad I only got a trial subscription! ### 1/5 — Needs work *2020-07-27, version 5.3* Can’t log in most of the time. Log in page reverts to the last page viewed. ### 1/5 — Good luck *2018-12-15, version 5.1* Logging in despite having an account is impossible even after reloading the app. ### 1/5 — Don’t download without a subscription *2018-03-26, version 5.1* Unless you subscribe to the paper, you can’t read the articles. It’s useless. Deleted app. ### 1/5 — Not useful 2 *2015-08-12, version 5.0* I agree with review #1. This used to make me want to go buy a paper version oh HD to see everything but with lock outs I have no interest in app or paper version. ### 1/5 — Not good *2015-08-04, version 5.0* Very Limited info unless u subscribe online. If I wanted a subscription I'd have one. The paper s not worth the price. Sorry but I don't like it at all. ### 1/5 — Not useful anymore *2015-08-03, version 5.0* I used to use this app daily. I loved the photo galleries and top story articles. It didn't have every article, but that was ok by me. After this update, without paying for a subscription, it's an entirely useless app. I deleted it. ### 1/5 — Hard to read *2015-01-13, version 4.7.0* The app does not make all the stories available. Very cumbersome and confusing. ### 1/5 — Needs an overhaul *2014-04-25, version 4.7.0* The headers for stories are extremely hard to read since it is written with dark grey against a black background. The app version has almost no resemblance to the website. No access to older photo galleries. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Herald dispatch app *2015-01-19, version 4.7.0* The app is great I just wish it was more like the paper with the comics and articles and I wish I didn't have to create a login to get the latest paper on the app and maybe the classified section can actually show up but I give the app 5/5 stars for the weather reports ### 5/5 — Long time fan *2013-08-27, version 4.5.5* I love this app. It's wonderful ### 5/5 — Great *2013-06-17, version 4.5.5* Great little app with lots of features. Easy to access different types of news. ### 5/5 — Cool *2013-04-23, version 4.3.0* Cool ### 5/5 — Great app! *2012-12-27, version 3.3.3* Been waiting for this app for a while and glad it's here! ### 5/5 — Better than the paper *2011-10-19* And free ### 5/5 — Good work *2011-03-26, version 2.0.8* Nicely done ### 4/5 — Good app.... *2013-08-07, version 4.5.5* Overall, it's a good app. The only thing it is lacking is access to the obits at anytime of the day. I have to go to the H-D site to do this. Can you fix this? Thanks! ### 4/5 — Better app than before *2013-02-12, version 4.3.0* I like the new version much better and find the app easier to use. ### 3/5 — Fix The App *2026-08-13, version 7.0* Nice updates to the App, and enjoying the newspaper! That said, while the App has improved, I must enter my User Name and Password every single time when opening it, which is frustrating!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
