A good blend. ### 2/5 — Mr. *2015-05-16, version 4.13.0* You should make this app to viewed in all positions when you hold the devise. Good other wise. Just frustrating to have to switch the devise to be able to read the content. ### 2/5 — News coverage on iPhone app *2014-04-24* Poor to bad not all of the news that is in the paper. Why do I pay for this? I see front page stories on the news stands but not on the app ### 3/5 — More history than news. Needs news updated more often. *2013-08-29* More history than news. Needs updated more often. Don't like that you can read part of an article then have to subscribe to their website, not worth it . ### 1/5 — Useless *2013-07-21, version 4.5.5* Do not install this app. Complete waste of time. ### 1/5 — Even members don't get a break *2013-07-06* Am a paying electronic member. However, cannot make comments on articles and editorials via the IPhone during lengthy traveling. Also get the full-article-for members message upon opening and then have to log out and then back in. Very frustrating and not very professional of a city newspaper to have such practices as described by the reviews on this thread. Get busy and do some tweaking, HJ, or else get a new platform. ### 1/5 — Bffs *2013-07-03, version 4.5.5* Rediculous. Terrible app ### 1/5 — Not good *2013-06-24, version 4.5.5* Is sad that you now have to pay to read this app. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2013-06-09, version 4.5.5* You can't even read anything anymore without being a member. ### 1/5 — Not worth the time to look at. *2013-06-08, version 4.5.5* Terrible, you have to me a member to read the articles!!!! ### 1/5 — No Good, No More!! *2013-05-11, version 4.3.0* Don't waste your time with it now. It use to be a good app. No More! ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2013-04-01, version 4.3.0* I hate to have to agree with the rest of the reviews. But; this was not a wise move. I will be deleting this app as well. ### 1/5 — Nice move HJ News! *2013-03-26* Used to be a great app for local news on the go and when I travel.I subscribe to the paper Friday to Sunday. We used to get Monday's news but no more. Now you give a snippet of info on the app and want another subscription fee. Considering canceling the paper now. I get full stories from Utah and national news outlets at no charge. Bye bye HJ news! Deleting app as it is now worthless! ### 1/5 — Bogus *2013-03-26* The Herald seems to be wanting money for EVERYthing now. I read articles on this app daily because they want a subscription to use their mobile news site. Now, however, they want to tease you with a snippet and make you pay or a subscription to get the rest. Goodbye HJ. ### 1/5 — No good no more *2013-03-23, version 4.3.0* App used to be very good and enjoyed it immensely. Now you are only teased with one paragraph. Don't waste your time downloading now. Deleted app!! ### 1/5 — Worthless App *2013-03-20* I enjoyed this app to read a little of the local news for quite some time. However they have recently limited the content making it a worthless app. Don't waste your time or data on this! ### 1/5 — Logan Liar does it again *2013-03-20* Was okay until they limited the content. First news app I have that does that except for the national chains. Don't kid yourself HJ editors, you won't pull in any extra revenue from this business decision; probably just have more angry customers, something you are already accustomed to. App not worth your time. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ridiculous *2018-10-01* The latest version is a mess! It looks more like a Tremonton or Idaho paper than one for Cache Valley. Navigation is a joke. More items from years ago than current items. I’ll keep it on my phone for a while longer, hoping for a massive, practical new version. ### 1/5 — Crash City *2017-11-15, version 5.3.3400* This app randomly crashes all the time. If I open the app: crash. If I try to enlarge a photo: crash. If I try to share a story: crash. ### 1/5 — No good at all *2016-05-06, version 5.3.2600* Requires you to log on with user profile to read anything and then does not offer any way whatsoever to even create a profile. This is bloatware and useless. ### 1/5 — Doesn't update the news *2015-07-03, version 4.13.0* Worthless app. It was poor to begin with but after the HJ changed the web version the news doesn't update. Stuck in time in May. ### 1/5 — Stupid - Full Articles NOT Available *2015-02-02* This app is stupid. It's like they are trying to use it only to get people to buy a 'membership' to their websites to get the whole article. I don't understand the point of this app. It might just be me, but it seems quite useless unless you are already a 'member' or are going to purchase a membership. ### 1/5 — Poor *2014-07-27, version 4.10.0* This was a poor service it have false info and and a bad user experience ### 1/5 — None *2014-05-06, version 4.9.5* Herald Journal doesn't even allow you to read the news stories unless you are a member. Isn't that what the advertising banners are for? The only news worth reading in Logan anyway is if the town burns to the ground. ### 1/5 — Errors *2014-04-26, version 4.9.5* I get "404 - file not found" errors when checking the classifieds and other areas of the app. ### 1/5 — No news is good news??? *2014-04-20, version 4.9.5* This app is more evidence that the Herald Journal just can't keep up with the times. The only way to read an article is to go to a full browser. Worthless! ### 1/5 — Worthless *2013-08-30, version 4.5.5* A complete waste...you have to be a member and go to the website to read articles. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Enjoy getting local news *2017-08-21* Has all the features of the newspaper, without the ads, and is up to date. ### 5/5 — Great paper and App *2017-01-14* I throughly enjoyed your App. A very reliable source of local, State,National and international news. Good Job. Thanks ### 5/5 — Great App *2013-03-04, version 4.3.0* Easy to use, convenient, efficient, cheap. Five stars. ### 5/5 — Good app *2013-02-12, version 4.3.0* Happy valleys best app! ### 5/5 — Seriously smooth *2012-12-16* This app is great. For a small newspaper in Logan this is legit. Don't know who created it but big time props to them and whoever at the HJ is backing it up. ### 5/5 — Cheap & Convenient *2012-11-26* Much cheaper and more convenient that print and more accessible than the online version. Love it ### 5/5 — Nice job! *2011-11-14, version 2.1* Easy to use. Lots of information. ### 5/5 — Well Done *2011-11-07* Very well written app!! If only their website was this well done! ### 5/5 — Great App *2011-09-06, version 2.1* Great app for great local news and information. ### 4/5 — HJN *2017-04-10* Love the app and the emails of news! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
