Sadly, didn’t get beyond first page….

Downloaded the app, was asked to select which county the paper was in that I had subscribed to - and nothing responded…… very disappointed as I really find the level of local journalism very good with these publications.

Terrible App

Terrible App. Full of glitches & problems nearly every time I use it. Will not be renewing subscription

App problems

App will not load up

Can’t get started

I have a premium account with my local newspaper but trying to reset the password so I can log in via the app is proving to be such a faff that I have deleted the app and given up.

Good local news and trivia

It’s nice to see really local news

Needs Usability Improvements

Using a Ipad a fairly standard feature of apps is to allow going directly to the top of a page by touching near the top of the screen
It is really frustrating having to scroll the whole page, especially on the home page

Also the mechanism for displaying page back does not work consistently all the time as the page back arrow disappears too easily/quickly especially on articles from the main page; it works better when on articles from the News page for some reason.

Overall there need to be significant usability improvements

I wish no other Herald….

The convenience of a digital copy far outweighs the awkwardness of a paper copy. Viewing one page at a time varies from whichever iOS you use.

It’s very useful to read your local newspaper wherever you are in the world too. The Stratford Herald has always been part of local life and long may it continue.

I’m news

Unable to log in as I don’t have a account number and it doesn’t allow me to register an account . So won’t be able to to read the local paper on line now

Useful app

I only read our local paper once a week but regularly log in during the rest of the time to check the local news which is always relevant and up to date.

Dispiritingly poor

No search option for a news app is a terrible thing, you can’t search for historical news, not that there’s much carried here anyway.
Hardly any of the stories carried in the print edition, certainly not the decent ones, why, this is paid for after all.
I want to support local journalism so please improve.

Easy access to local news

Great app. Easy way to access the local newspaper. Worth the small monthly fee that goes to the local newspaper.

Excellent app

Excellent app with a choice of how you want to read the news.

I really like this app and use it daily

I really like this app and use it daily. I am not usually a fan of on line papers but this is updated regularly during the day and full of good stuff

Continually crashes iPad

Occasionally this app works and I succeed in reading my local paper online. Most of the time it doesn’t work. Either nothing happens or the whole iPad instantly closes down - no warning -but black screen appears and iPad restarts.

Subscription Required!

Downloaded to be able to read my local newspaper online only to find it states you need an account number to set it up before you can access anything. There is nothing to say this is a subscription service before downloading the app. Very poor and a waste of my time downloading the app!

Early days

Early days but so far so good. Good content but as this app develops would like to see more content. Loving having the newspaper online every week under these current conditions being restricted with the pandemic, keep up the good work.

More often than not fails to load anything.

Cursor spins for several minutes until it eventually pops up with a message: “Error loading archive. Please try again.” When it does work, it works well. Glad to see the image quality (resolution) has been improved. (iOS 13.5)

great app!

While I have not been able to get out as much as usual, its been great to have my local paper delivered to my phone

Love this

All the news from my area in one place and no distracting pop-ups!! Nice to get all the local papers for the price of one

Not Bad

Clever little app!
