Boston Herald Reviews

Shame on BH for making us now pay to see routine news.
Goodbye and good riddance!

Same comments as WSK 25.... repeating the headline over and over? Why? Annoying and adds no value!
And having technical problems ... scrolling on screen isn't working. Great!

First, as others have stated the articles appear more than once on the main home page. Then two days ago I was asked to create an account to continue reading articles for free. This morning there are no free articles to read - opening every article results in a prompt to sign up for a paid subscription. Removing BostonHerald .

Use to be my go to for fair news. Now you have to sign up for free account that gives you hardly any news. Such a shame.

The font setting doesn’t work. At its largest setting it never changes from the minute size. The layout of the articles and sections, if really there are any, is illogical and useless.

I’m not sure what was wrong with the last version of BostonHerald that drove this downgrade. And how is BostonHerald rating still over 4? Given the ratings I read that looks false.

The latest release is terrible. BostonHerald has been getting less user friendly for the last year or so and every new release just makes it worse. You used to be able to change articles and even sections with relative ease. Now it’s just painful to use. Guess for a free app, you get what you pay for...

How does BostonHerald have a 4.4 rating? This is an improvement, the layout is terrible. The same headlines are repeated in the different sections as you scroll down. Why do we have to see the same headlines more than once? I agree with another review, there was nothing wrong with the layout of the previous app. I don’t get it? Someone or some department is supposed to feel good about the job they did with this, better go back to the drawing board!

Shame on the Herald for telling you that you must set up an account in order to view the content. When you do, they block you from reading anything until you pay for a subscription. This is no longer a free app and the Herald is being very deceptive in saying that it is free.

If you use BostonHerald you can expect it NOT to connect to it’s server 50% of the time. The rest of the time it’s painfully slow and poorly organized.

They want you to pay for everything that you read. Most of the same articles or stories are available on Fox News or NECN for free why would I pay the Herald. Paid subscription required

Why did they change BostonHerald? The print is so small you can hardly read it! I liked the old one better.

Old version was much better. The layout and presentation not good. Do not use app much anymore.

I have tried very very hard to like BostonHerald. However, it is simply too difficult to navigate and takes a lot of time better spent elsewhere on other newspaper apps.

BostonHerald is a disappointment. I don’t find it user friendly at all. It takes too much time to go through. I’ll probably find something else to get my Boston News.

Readers can adjust the font size in the articles themselves but not on the home page where the articles are listed. BostonHerald has to have the smallest font of any app I’ve ever seen.

This latest "tweak" update is so confusing to maneuver. So much "white screen" and hunting and pecking to find relevant articles. Very disappointed in the "new look" to the Herald app.

Headline Print is extremely small and you can’t see who the columnists are without clicking on the story. Also, when they killed the previous app there was no heads up. It just stopped working. More though needs to go into design and implementation.

I like the sports coverage and follow the Boston teams while living in Scottsdale AZ.
I am able to get the scores, trades and info on the Red Sox, Bruins, Celtics and Patriots.

The recent reviews made me hesitant to get an e subscription to the Herald. I have an old iPad (iOs 9). This loads quickly, pages change easily, resolution is fine. No complaints.

Quick reads to stay informed at my fingertips.

I went from buying Harold every day to using BostonHerald now I’m done why did you change it The font is way too small!!!

I have never seen a more user unfriendly application. Way to lose readers

The whole format is all wrong. Print is to small layout of story’s are terrible definitely a terrible job . Time to read USA

Very hard to navigate simple story’s without being bombarded by ads.

Difficult to maneuver. Previous layout more visually pleasing. And was better organized

The new app is just plain awful can’t tell who wrote the artisan the pictures don’t come through just awful

A decent means of following Boston sports in an otherwise right wing rag.

Not very happy with it. Much more user friendly 2 improvements ago

The layout in the previous version was much better. In addition the ability to change the font size is not working.

Good job Real news Doesn’t hide bias as news
