Thought maybe the much hyped new app would be an improvement. Not so much. Topics seem randomly placed with the same articles in latest news, business and sports. Just as mixed up as old app except in tiles instead of just titles. Still has ads. I still see no ability to search. Remains to be seen if they will do any better job of keeping articles updated. Right now looks like they only added some lipstick And now it crashes and locks up my phone and ipad. Totally useless at this point. The app is finally functioning in early September. But if you are expecting any actual content change you’ll be disappointed. Most of the featured stories in each section are days old! Annoying ads are inserted every paragraph which makes it hard to scroll without clicking them (on purpose I’m sure). I see Herald tweets and can’t find those stories anywhere on the app. Very disappointing as a subscriber (who had to give up print because it was only actually delivered to me 10% of the time). This is pretty much the same thing, delivers a 10% experience so thats half a star.

I absolutely abhor the new app. It now resembles a news feed typical of social media. If I wanted to get my news from a social media news feed I would use a social media app. The previous interface combined the traditional look of a real newspaper with digital technology enhancements. It was like literally having the newspaper delivered to your front door, but on a modern digital screen. I wouldn’t have a problem with the new app if it gave you the option of switching to the traditional newspaper view. I just renewed my subscription, but once it expires I’m done with Miami Herald. I guess I’ll just have to go to social media to get my news going forward.

I feel bad for the staff, working hard and subscribers can’t get to content. I am sick and tired of being a subscriber and not being able to get into the app or online. ALWAYS asking for login and even though they are saved on all devices it says it is wrong. So I reset the password. It works the first time and the next time it wants a login which it won’t except. AGAIN! Over and over. It is a McClatchy issue. The same thing happens on my KC Star account. Won’t be renewing either. After another year of it, I’ve had it.
