User Reviews

The Herald Star Android app has a mixed reception post-2.0. Reviewers praise the redesigned, polished UI and overall design quality. However, many users report stability issues: frequent errors and crashes when opening or navigating. The biggest gripe is the removal of the Daily Happenings (and wedding/engagement content) and the more difficult content search, which makes finding items frustrating. Content is also seen as outdated or not updated in a timely way. Overall, design and polish are appreciated, but stability, missing features, and content gaps remain drawbacks.
Pros
  • 2.0 introduces a beautiful, polished UI aligned with Google's Material Design guidelines.
  • The app is generally well designed and improved in terms of usability and look.
  • Daily Happenings was a favorite feature before removal, highlighting the value of structured content.
Cons
  • Frequent errors and crashes when opening or navigating the app, causing instability.
  • Removal of Daily Happenings and related content (weddings/engagements) and the harder content discovery due to UI changes.
  • Search functionality is broken or unreliable (search bar doesn't work, poor results).
  • Content is outdated or not updated in a timely way (days behind, missing items).
