### 3/5 — Better than nothing

*2025-10-19*

The local reporters are fine professionals but too few stories, mainly a perfunctory front page and then it’s mostly USA Today — always interesting, and covering a good range of topics— but it’s scarcely a local paper. And we seem to have lost the ability to go back to past editions. I do appreciate the traditional newspaper layout and its implication of what’s important. Not a great local resource but I’d miss it.  Laura, Boris, Connie et al are good observant writers.

### 5/5 — Good substitute but I’ll always miss the actual paper and staff

*2025-09-30*

This is a well organized product that has solved many glitches. It provides real news with uncensored comments. That is what actually keeps America great.

### 5/5 — End $1.00 subscription, I’ve enjoyed it but my age has taken my sight somewhat.

*2025-06-27*

Cordially,                                                                            Walter L. Hatfield

### 1/5 — Terrible service

*2025-06-25*

I have had a subscription for years.  Over 30.  I closed the card attached to this account and forgot to add a new one.  They of course cancelled my subscription as unpaid.  I never got a notice or anything.  Now they want to double and triple the price I was paying.  I think this was on purpose to get a higher price.  Pretty low

### 4/5 — What I think

*2025-06-06*

Well, I miss the old ones but if I have to get the news on line, this works okay.

### 5/5 — Great local news

*2025-04-20*

So happy to have an app for local news in a small town! It’s precious and we need to support it.

### 1/5 — Worst upgrade ever

*2025-04-04*

I now understand why newspapers are going out of business. This app has transformed what was an easy way to read the semi-local enewspaper that I paid for into a marketing and sales site trying to hawk the terrible USA TODAY content.

### 1/5 — Subscriber

*2025-03-26*

Terrible

### 1/5 — Ridiculous

*2024-11-19*

We have to call at least every 2 weeks to restore our account (You know the wait, the music, the eventual condescending voice on the other end)…. We’ve paid for a year. It always fails to recognize our account when trying to open. It’s beyond maddening. I would cancel but my husband wants the paper…. Not too much to ask. I’m getting my news from the internet. The Herald times is a waste of our retirement money.

### 5/5 — Subscription Cost

*2024-06-08*

I cannot find the subscription costs anywhere.  Are you ashamed at how much it costs?
