Overall, the app is considered unreliable and poorly maintained by users, diminishing the value of their subscriptions.

2023-10-15	A *****	The App fails to open 80% of the time. I have to go to the website to read the World Herald. When I click on a breaking news alert the app freezes or does not load the "breaking news" article. I said the app was horrible 7 years ago.....and nothing has changed for an upgrade in stars.
