## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — E-app

*2026-01-16*

Terrible

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2023-04-11*

No reporters and u want me to pay for this rag if a subscription.  You say u have in depth news on the local issues; you have none. Don’t subscribe to this paper as they have no reporters and you can find all the crap they have elsewhere

### 1/5 — New app

*2022-06-22*

I just am not happy with this new format.  It’s difficult to find the current news, I don’t want old news.  Trying to navigate it all I get is news that is days old.  I want the old app back.  It stopped working yesterday.

### 1/5 — Subscription Required?

*2013-10-18*

Herald app does not require a subscription.

### 2/5 — Staunchly Democratic Propaganda

*2021-11-04*

Just another completely biased view on local events. Disappointing. They used to be impartial.

### 3/5 — new app slow to load

*2016-07-03*

The new app looks nicer but it often fails to update

### 4/5 — Great local news

*2016-11-06*

If you are looking for a newspaper app that provides spot on local news coverage then this is the app for you. It is easy to use and the articles are well written. I only wish the app would rotate so I could make the fonts larger.  Otherwise I have no problems using it. Since I no longer get a paper newspaper this really meets my needs. I recommend others trying it.

### 5/5 — Newspaper

*2020-01-03*

The best publication in all of the Monterey county.

### 5/5 — Good coverage

*2019-03-09*

I no longer live in Salinas but find it important to stay in touch. I think the Californian does a fine job of covering local and regional news.

### 5/5 — Review

*2017-09-25*

### 5/5 — Well Done

*2015-11-18*

This is different. Digital news has hurt news print, but The Californian is doing a good job of helping their readers transition from the old way to the new. Also, it allows to get timely local news. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Excellent New App

*2014-05-17*

Love the new Californian app- very snappy, up-to-date, and great local Salinas news.

### 5/5 — The Salinas Californian

*2013-05-20*

I would have paid at least .99 cents for this app.
