### 5/5 — Great way to keep up with the news

*2026-08-05, version 8.11.0*

I have always respected the herald and always have enjoyed reading it.  I prefer paper but costs make this more affordable by going digital. Just a sign of the times 🥴

### 5/5 — Great local news.

*2026-07-23, version 8.10.2*

Enjoy

### 5/5 — Sarasota Herald Tribune Mobile App

*2026-07-15, version 8.10.2*

So easy to use.  Always up to date.  Daily editions are available for those early risers.
So much better than waiting than waiting around at home for the carrier to deliver my paper.
Cost effective.  Convenient.

### 4/5 — Great

*2026-07-10, version 8.10.2*

Thanks for staying on top of storm info

### 2/5 — Too many ads!

*2026-06-15, version 8.10.2*

I paid for a year subscription of news stories, and get more Advertisements and pop-up ads than continues news text.  Why did I have to pay, when obviously USA Today is getting a lot of money from selling ads.

### 2/5 — What happened to my paper?

*2026-06-15, version 8.10.2*

I’ve subscribed for a few years yet now when I open the HT app it restricts my access to articles.  Some I can see and read yet others it wants me to subscribe to.  I’m already subscribing!  It even recognizes me when I open the app but things go downhill from there.  The app doesn’t let me check my subscription status, so I have no idea what’s going on.  I can still read the HT by opening the e-mailed edition but that’s a hassle.  May cancel for a few weeks and then resubscribe at the lower rate they advertise to me.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-04-21, version 8.9.0*

Am a subscriber. Pay $25 a month but cannot read articles. Site keeps asking to subscribe.

### 5/5 — I love the online version

*2026-04-01, version 8.9.0*

It’s like reading the paper without the physical paper.

### 5/5 — News

*2026-04-01, version 8.9.0*

Always enjoy the news.  We download the paper everyday and catch up on sports, local and national news.

### 1/5 — To Late

*2026-03-08, version 8.8.1*

Yesterday’s news tomorrow!
