Sarasota Herald Tribune App User Reviews

Great paper EXCEPT

Stock market closing data is one day old. Hard to believe that the Sarasota Herald Tribune continues this as sports and all other events are reported correctly. No excuse for this one day delay in market closing information. How confusing for readers. How embarrassing with todays instant information so readily available.
Sports section, Restaurant reviews and real estate information is excellent. Entertainment section is a keeper.

Easy to use!

We really appreciate the ease of flipping through pages and keeping in touch with news back home from wherever we are in the world…today Athens, Greece.

Local news from a liberal slant

Local coverage from a liberal point of view and canned national news from the mainstream liberals - all a day later than available elsewhere. Seriously, why bother reporting yesterday’s sports scores as “late”? Do you really think readers have an interest in what happened in the stock market 2 days ago?
Just stick with local news and at least give the appearance of objective coverage.

Convenient to read on iPhone.

Ability to isolate and enlarge one article at a time makes for an easy read on a small device Good app like this makes it easy to read the news fast.

Read it daily

I fully support having daily local news. Don’t rely on all that’s floating around on the internet. Know your reporters and support them.

Easy to use

Very easy to page though the newspaper and expand articles to read in depth.

Very satisfied

Functional app and informative, well-written articles about local news. Sometimes I also catch a bit of national news that I missed elsewhere.

Very impressive

I was a long time subscriber for the paper version for many years. Over time, the paper got smaller and the price kept increasing so I canceled my subscription. I recently received a very enticing offer for the digital version so I subscribed once again. The format is excellent and very user friendly. The best part of all is that this version includes several extras not found in the paper version.

Easy to navigate

Never thought I would read my newspaper digitally but I love it!

It is easy to read and easy to navigate.

Convenient and quick service

Really enjoying my e-version of the Herald Tribune. I can decide how quickly I want to scan it each day or if I have time I can read it cover to cover.

New to this

New to the app. New to this media. Still learning. The app is easy to use. My phone easily runs the app. (iPhone). Looking to use a search feature for looking up old articles and organizing. Thank you

Not the best

It’s OK. You CAN a read the paper, but to do a whole article, you need to go to INDEX, find it, then go BACK to the overview to find anything else. ANNOYING. The PHONE VERSION a allows you to TAP on an article and go right to reader view and then back again! That would be great here! But…no one listens.

The app is slow to load and uses a lot of power when viewing. It’s response to SHARING is slow and poor. The Newspaper is again trying to decide what it’s identity is by switching between Left days and Right days and, in doing so, is coming off as wishy washy.

If I had another source of some local news, I would drop this.

Why don’t the increase in costs come from advertisers instead of the readers? And delivery of the paper edition is subbed out and is a disaster.

USA today network newspapers

As a subscriber of another USA today network newspaper from Rochester New York the major value of subscribing to the Sarasota Herald Tribune is to see local news. I find it interesting that the national and international news have the identical pageSet up with the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.

Glad to have newspaper to read on line.

Thought i’d never get used to this online part instead of holding paper in my hands…..but I did. Plus, I don’t have the weather to confront when getting the paper from the street.

Great app

Extremely easy to use on any device. It’s the way I keep up with everything happening in the Sarasota area. I recommend this to everyone.

Great choice for reading the paper

We have had a long time subscription to the Herald Tribune in the paper version. But we are finding that by enrolling to the digital version. Plus, we don’t waste paper and can read the articles any time or place on our iPhones. It was a good move. Nancy DeMarte

Not worth it

The app works OK but the paper is a waste of money. Sunday sports don’t get reported till Tuesday. A big portion of the news articles come from USA Today a day or more late and the Tampa Bay Times. Good luck trying to cancel your subscription. Can’t do it from the website or app so it requires a phone call with extended wait time. On top of that, after finally cancelling I was charged for another month. Waste of money.

Works well

No complaints. The App works well enough, navigation is straightforward, and I can run through the paper easily. Like having post the print paper layout and ability to move to an easy read mode.

Convenient. Never wet.

I like having the paper available every single morning, on time and dry, even when I’m traveling. It took a little adjustment to the iPad paper, but it was worth it.

Great way to access paper while traveling

The app works well even on an iPad mini. Great way to follow the news while traveling
