## Review summary

Reviewers praise Press Herald+ for a newspaper-like reading experience on mobile but report repeated reliability and usability issues. The key complaints are intrusive banner ads, frequent crashes and poor refresh access to the latest edition, and updates that remove useful features and degrade navigation. Getting the current day’s edition is inconsistent, sometimes requiring reinstall. Overall, the app works when stable, but its reliability and consistency are major concerns.

### Pros

- Easy-to-use interface.
- When functioning, the app provides a solid mobile reading experience.

### Cons

- Banner ads appear at the top of pages (and within content), making reading harder.
- Frequent crashes and instability; difficulty accessing today's edition and refreshing the edition.
- Update-driven UI changes remove or hide features, reducing usability (e.g., missing page controls and header info).
- Daily edition is inconsistent or not readily available, often requiring reinstall or workarounds.
- Inconsistent experience across devices (iPhone vs iPad) with readability/navigation issues.
