### 4/5 — Great content, design substandard

*2026-02-20*

Great investigative work, the app design and usability is outdated (1 star off)

### 2/5 — App isn’t opening

*2025-06-13*

The app is blank, doesn’t show anything.

### 1/5 — Only blank Page

*2025-06-12*

Only white Page, no Contest shown. 
I want my money bank.

### 1/5 — No data

*2025-06-12*

Data is not downloading or updating

### 1/5 — It crashes and does not even open on iPad

*2024-12-30*

The iPad app does not work.

### 4/5 — Schriftgröße

*2024-03-01*

Ich würde mich freuen, wenn man die Schriftgröße individuell einstellen könnte.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money.

*2023-10-24, version 1.05*

I expected advanced functionality with an app from this site. I was very dissatisfied and disappointed.
Don’t purchase under any circumstances, and just add a link to AvHerald, on your Home Screen.
I gave one star, because that’s the lowest, but it’s not worth one star.

### 5/5 — Good !

*2022-05-04*

This App is reduced to the Information really needed. Not overloaded. Very Good !!!!

### 3/5 — Great info, but problematic app

*2022-02-06, version 1.04*

Anyone else having issues with stories intermittently not allowing you to scroll past the initial page? On iPhone 13 with latest iOS.

### 2/5 — Needs updating

*2019-10-08*

The content is fantastic and thoroughly researched and maintained. Unfortunately the app isn’t. 
Please update and 5 stars will be well deserved.
