    I’ve been reading the Boston Herald’s for years. It has never disappointed me.

    As others have said, the product is amateurish & seemingly without oversight. Been this way for years so presuming they don’t care. Will cancel subscription.
  • Terrible user experience

    App just repeats headlines over and over. Stale days-old articles.
  • EXTREMELY POOR QUALITY

    Not even worth the price of a subscription. No front page, articles scattered around. Even worse set-up than the printed version of the paper. I signed-up for the digital version because I couldn’t always get a printed version, and I’m only 25 miles from Boston. How amazing that a once Great newspaper has declined so quickly!!!!
  • So hard to use and feels old

    Doesn’t open on front news page of the paper. Repeats sections and stories. Hard to navigate between articles and sections. Needs a massive update.

    I don't know which is more amateurish--the app or the paper. I got a 6-month subscription for $1.82 and overpaid by $1.81.

    No login button so I can’t log in to my account. “Restore subscription” button can’t find my subscription. I do have a subscription. Also, they have very few articles!

    On the phone with the Boston Herald for 30 minutes trying to activate purchase. Works while on the phone. Doesn’t work the next day.

    The November 2022 update completely destroyed this app. I have cancelled my Herald online subscription and will find another source for my Boston news. Whomever engineered that update should be immediately fired. HORRIBLE.
  • Archaic technology

    In 2022 you should be able to swipe to the next article. instead the user must use a back button that rarely works. Make the default screen the news page. Currently the user has to navigate back and forth to different subsections or select news from the menu. The content is mediocre at best. Save your money.
