User Reviews

Users appreciate the app's convenience for accessing the Boston Herald in a digital format with true-to-paper experience, especially on tablets. However, many reviews highlight instability, crashes, and frequent login problems after updates. The newer versions complicate access with extra steps and suffer from content display issues like missing or repeated text. The interface is considered poorer than the old version, causing frustration with navigation and printing. Overall, while the app serves the purpose, these ongoing technical and usability problems diminish the experience for many users.

Cons

Recent versions require multiple additional actions to access the daily edition, complicating the reading process.
Frequent login issues after subscription system changes, preventing access to e-editions.
Content display problems such as missing words, repeated phrases, typos, and formatting errors within articles.
Poor interface and user experience compared to prior versions, including difficulty moving around, printing, and incompatibility with certain devices like Fire tablets.

This app is unstable. I've had to re down load it a couple of times to get it to work

I've been happy with the new platform in general. Unfortunately, the other day I downloaded the issue to read on a plane. In airplane mode I couldn't start the app because of an incorrect API key. Would be nice if that could be fixed. Update 4/13/23 no longer get the API error in airplane mode. I can open the downloaded paper but it wants Internet access to open articles. Hopefully this flight has free WiFi...
