User Reviews

Users praise strong local coverage, credible sources, and a readable mobile format with accessibility options. However, recurring pain points include paywall and pricing friction, forced login requirements, and stability issues like crashes and content-loading problems. Some users also miss aspects of the older newspaper-like experience and additional features. Overall, the app delivers solid local news but suffers from access friction and reliability concerns.

Pros

Broad local coverage with credible national sources and a one-stop news experience (Rock Hill Herald, plus affiliates from Tribune News Service, Washington Post, and AP).
Accessibility and readability features, including adjustable font sizes for the E-edition and compatibility with text-to-speech options.
Mobile-friendly design and ease of use on iPhone/iPad, with a layout that users say mirrors the mobile site and is fast to read.
High-quality local reporting, especially sports coverage, that keeps the community informed.
Frequent daily use and broad appeal within the local community.

Cons

Paywall and subscription pricing are a major downside, with users unhappy about mandatory payments, higher costs, and article limits.
Forced login/account creation to access content, leading to friction and frustration for some users.
Stability issues and crashes (white screens, content loading errors, force closes) reported across multiple app versions.
Desire for features from older app or newspaper-like reading experience (e.g., comics, local events) and concerns about missing convenient reading formats.

Recent reviews

I read the E-edition evwey day, they adapt it on the iPhone for low vision users. You increase the font size so it's easy to read the black on white page. I wish a dark mode were available. The alternative is copy the text and paste it into a reader like voice dream. I listen to articles with Voice Dream as well as read the articles in white with black background. I like how the paper draws news from Tribune News service, Washington post, AP news and local bureaus. I like that I do not need to subscribe to other papers. The herald is truly a one-stop news source. I am happy to support our local newspaper.
