2.5 out of 5
Print is unclear, page controls gone

What was wrong with the last version of PressHerald? It had easily accessible page turning controls at the top (they are now gone) and the print was always sharp. Half the the time, when I zoom in with this new version, the print is out of focus/unclear.

What bug fixes?

I keep expecting an app update that will allow the iPad version to function as well as the iPhone version. No luck so far. Reopening yesterday’s paper prevents opening today’s. There is no refresh button - , instead, getting to today requires powering down and a very long wait to reopen.

The previous version with the black P was better

Please give us back the previous app with the black P. It was fine as it was. This new one is frustrating. The pages seem to get snagged up, page turning isn’t as easy: it just isn’t as good.

Get Some Good Tech Folks - You Need Them

When you get towards the end of the ‘paper’, every time you close an article the paper closes. If you want to continue, you have to start over again and leaf through every page. Frustrating!

Not an improvement

The new app is not as user friendly as the old one. New is not always better.

NOT a good App, but they say they are fixing it????

It is EASY to use, BUT NOT if you want current paper!
They say they are updating it??

NOTE:
PressHerald is YOU PPH!!
Why doesn’t someone check it daily to ensure it is working properly??
AND, if there is a Negative comment - FIX IT NOW..
Gets tiresome to keep getting yesterday’s paper...
Which, just for the record, is NOT FREE!!

I guess you can put me in the “Un-Happy Column”, at least for the time being....

Buggy app

Frequently the days edition is not available. I have to delete PressHerald and reinstall. This sometimes works.

Good content, bad app

Unable to get the current days edition with new app. Going through the e-edition website the current day is avail

Crashes too often

Works well enough when working. Can’t get through an entire paper without it crashing. It had crashed on every single use so far.

Crashes too often.

Please fix the constant crashes!

Great when it works

Great app when it works. Crashes frequently

Update removed too many features

The recent update adds some interface improvements, but also removed two frequently used and very useful features including persistent display of the time and the ‘Page x of x’ in the header. Please restore these features as soon as possible.

Not liking new format

I do not like the new format when PressHerald was updated in May 2023. It appears less than full page on my iPad and is difficult to see the articles prior to expanding them. This was not an improvement.

Uses Storage

I have to watch PressHerald because it uses GBs of storage even though I NEVER download the newspaper. I always read on line and have checked my options. It is frustrating to have to delete PressHerald an reinstall it to get rid of garbage.

Nice Format, Nice App

PressHerald works great on my phone. I like the true Newspaper format. Makes it more enjoyable to read than a web page.
