### 5/5 — Love the app

*2026-03-25, version 3.19.23*

So far I’ve had the subscription for a few weeks. We originally got it for a Mariners promotion. I wasn’t sure if I would read the paper a lot, but come to find out I actually enjoyed it. I hate we don’t get the weekend papers, and there’s no way to add them into your subscription, so that sucks butt.

### 3/5 — Herald App

*2026-02-09, version 3.15.03*

I do like subscribing to local news and having it read to me on the app. I do wish that the app would let me go into other apps while it is reading, though.

### 5/5 — I enjoy the Daily Herald since moving to Redmond

*2025-12-22*

We used to enjoy reading the print version every morning, but reading online on my iPad since moving to Redmond is a good substitute.
We are keeping up with Snohomish County news and read the editorials, especially Sid Schwab’s analysis.
Thank you,
Hans and Martha Dankers

### 5/5 — The herald

*2025-11-12, version 3.15.03*

Love the local paper.  We need it very much

### 5/5 — Local insight

*2025-09-16, version 3.15.03*

I love getting local news from the Herald.  There is always something interesting that is “news” to me.

### 5/5 — Great Reporting

*2025-09-09*

I was reluctant to switch from paper to digital for my news. The switch has been great! Getting the news wherever I am in an easy to use format fas been a pleasure. Contrary to what I had expected, I read more of the paper now. I’m so glad I made the change.

### 5/5 — Please provide more unbiased reporting.

*2025-08-07*

I am enjoying the app, the Herald newspaper and the format-it reminds me of newspapers gone-by. 
However, I am concerned about your biased, and frankly, unconfirmed data towards our local politicians. These local elections matter, as does what you print. Please take time to verify all information before printing. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2025-07-14, version 3.15.03*

I much prefer receiving the Herald via the internet as I can read it at home, on vacation, in a coffee shop or ?  And I don’t have delivery issues 😊.

### 5/5 — Great Regional Reporting

*2025-07-07, version 3.15.03*

The Herald always brings great analysis to their publication. So much better than other smaller local online publications which rely heavily on SEO and clicks.

### 2/5 — Format

*2025-05-19, version 3.15.03*

Works terrible on my iPhone
