Terrible paper

The Herald Mail used to be a decent local paper but it has been gutted by USA Today’s management of it and I am very unwilling to pay for AI-generated stories I can find elsewhere.

Pathetic

This app is not worth the money you paid the developers. I enjoyed the previous app which allowed me to read an e-edition of the Herald-Mail, this app does not have that option. I guess I will have to consider my subscription a waste of money since I no longer enjoy “reading” the Herald-Mail.

Local Sports Team

When is this paper going to wake up and realize that we have a fine baseball team and superior new baseball park, The Flying Boxcars and Meritus Park.
I canceled my hard copy of The Herald-Mail because of this and will probably cancel my online subscription if coverage of this team and stadium doesn’t improve.
