Press Herald ePaper

crashes, inability to refresh to the updated edition of the paper , poor user interface all together , not much good to say. Come on PPH you can do better

I have to watch this app because it uses GBs of storage even though I NEVER download the newspaper. I always read on line and have checked my options. It is frustrating to have to delete the app an reinstall it to get rid of garbage.

I keep expecting an app update that will allow the iPad version to function as well as the iPhone version. No luck so far. Reopening yesterday’s paper prevents opening today’s. There is no refresh button - , instead, getting to today requires powering down and a very long wait to reopen.

What was wrong with the last version of this app? It had easily accessible page turning controls at the top (they are now gone) and the print was always sharp. Half the the time, when I zoom in with this new version, the print is out of focus/unclear.

The recent update adds some interface improvements, but also removed two frequently used and very useful features including persistent display of the time and the ‘Page x of x’ in the header. Please restore these features as soon as possible.

Please give us back the previous app with the black P. It was fine as it was. This new one is frustrating. The pages seem to get snagged up, page turning isn’t as easy: it just isn’t as good.

The new app is not as user friendly as the old one. New is not always better.

I do not like the new format when the app was updated in May 2023. It appears less than full page on my iPad and is difficult to see the articles prior to expanding them. This was not an improvement.

January 2023: Upgraded to iPhone 13 Pro Max. Cannot swipe to change pages without this app crashing. I have to reload the app and can’t get past page 2 without navigating with the arrows at the top of the page or jumping to a page. Even with those alternatives, or heaven forbid I tap the body of the page with a finger, the app crashes. My Original review, 2020: I downloaded this app today, and really wanted to give this a shot. Whether scrolling, zooming, turning the page, or just reading a still image of the e-Paper, this app has just crashed (evaporates from screen, requiring a re-launch) and I have to find the paper and the page again. Why? Pros: it looks really crisp on my iPhone 12 Max Pro. Cons: haven’t been able to read a full page without it crashing; I can get maybe 4 minutes of reading in at the most.

This app works great on my phone. I like the true Newspaper format. Makes it more enjoyable to read than a web page.
