### 4/5 — For all the news we need and current events around Port Huron.

*2026-06-26, version 8.10.2*

No Investigative Journalism. No Border Stories regarding The Chemical Valley and Line 5 nor any Environmental Exposes. There’s No Opinion-Editorial Page either.  Very little regarding Education Secondary Education and Health. The Times Herald is a simple, low budget Gannett Publication. It is improving in the past decade. I am glad the religious Columnist retired and has not been replaced. The Journalism is sub-par and they never dig deep into any story nor question Anyone related to the Story nor ever hardly quote anyone. It’s also a Newspaper largely edited by AI. But it’s better than nothing. Our ‘Freedom of The Press’ is our Nation’s most Powerful Tool. I hope the Times Herald Does continue to improve.

### 1/5 — Not very current.  Not worth the $$ spent

*2025-12-26, version 8.6.0*

Stories are old. Top stories stay as top stories for several days.

### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2025-11-16, version 8.6.0*

The app crashes multiple times on an iPad.  Fix the problem!  Crashed 11 times this morning and can’t open stories on main page.  Get someone who can actually make an app that works!  We are paying for the news, not another frustration!

### 4/5 — News

*2025-10-23, version 8.5.4*

The newspaper is very handy to have. It is nice to be kept updated on local news along with world news.

### 1/5 — Worked better before upgrading

*2025-10-22, version 8.5.4*

Wish I could go back to the original app - they forced us into going to this new app and it doesn’t work half the time.. needs to be improved

### 5/5 — Website

*2025-10-13, version 8.5.4*

Easy to use. Very informative.

### 1/5 — App Problems

*2025-07-11, version 8.1.0*

Your app has problems on my iPhone 11. The top stories page does not open when the app starts. It causes the app to close almost immediately. Sometimes the app does open in the top stories page, but the app immediately closes when you touch a story to read it. The eNewspaper does work.

### 5/5 — Summer activities

*2025-05-28, version 8.1.0*

Informative but need to add the MainStreet Car Show at Downtown Port Huron

### 1/5 — Can,t read as e-newspaper and no place to call for support

*2025-04-02, version 7.11.2*

I have been reading The Times Herald for years on my iPad and in e-newspaper mode. Then one day I open your app and it’s in Top Story mode and will NOT open in e-newspaper mode. 

I’ve cleared the iPad cache, turned the iPad off and on, deleted the app and reinstalled, checked to make sure my iPad and the Times Herald app were both up to date and they were. All to no avail. I cannot open the Times Herald in e-newspaper mode. To make matters worse I cannot find anywhere a phone number or website for support.

### 1/5 — App Problems

Your app has problems on my iPhone 11. The top stories page does not open when the app starts. It causes the app to close almost immediately. Sometimes the app does open in the top stories page, but the app immediately closes when you touch a story to read it. The eNewspaper does work.
