User Reviews

Reviewers appreciate the Boston Herald app for long-time readers who value the paper’s content and specific columnists (notably Howie Carr) but report widespread usability and access problems. The top complaints are persistent subscription/login issues, difficult navigation, and repetitive or stale content. Many users feel the paywall makes the app too expensive and not worth the cost, with content frequently behind screens or slow to load. A minority still finds value in mobile access to news and sports. Overall, most reviews call for a major usability update and reliable access.

Pros

Longtime readers value the Herald's content and trust its coverage.
Appreciation for Howie Carr's column and balanced opinions.
Some users find it a worthwhile daily read on mobile.

Cons

Persistent subscription/login issues (signing up but no access, inability to log in, activation bugs, being redirected to purchase pages).
Poor navigation and content organization (front page issues, repeated sections, hard to move between stories).
Paywall and cost concerns (now you have to pay to read, perceived as not worth the price, push to buy).
Content not timely or stale (days-old articles, repetition, slow updates).

Recent reviews

Many articles refer to videos that the Herald has obtained, but there are no links ever provided nor any embedded videos. Is this something that can be improved?
