User Reviews

Reviewers praise OWH for strong local journalism and easy online access, especially for sports and Nebraska content. The primary drawbacks are ads (including pre/post-load and video ads) that degrade the reading experience, frequent login/subscription issues, reliability problems (crashes, broken links, search), and confusing navigation that keeps front-page content hard to reach. These issues can undermine the value of a paid subscription despite quality content.

Pros

Quality local journalism and sports coverage helps Nebraskans stay connected to Omaha and the Midlands.
Online access to the full daily newspaper provides a convenient, often cheaper alternative to print.
The app is well-made for delivering quality local journalism.

Cons

Ad-heavy experience with startup ads, video ads, and intrusive ads that disrupt reading, even for paying subscribers.
Frequent login/subscription issues: not recognizing accounts, requiring re-logins or reinstalling, and paywall prompts.
Reliability problems: crashes, broken links, poor search functionality, and content occasionally not loading or disappearing.
Poor navigation/UX: front-page access is hard to find, and the app overly emphasizes sports content over other sections.
Value concerns: paying for the app but encountering ads and performance issues that detract from the experience.

I’ve enjoyed the paper for a long time. Living out of state helps me keep in touch with sports and the Midlands.

The editors of this media outlet do not represent the great people of the state. Anti-Nebraska value turn started when Trump was reelected. Will be getting my state news elsewhere. Bye
