Get rid of the pay wall! The Herald has questionable journalistic integrity as-is, there is no way a significant number of people are going to start paying $13/month for a subscription. Competing area news outlets are still free. Revamp your advertising strategy and keep the news available to the whole population, not just people that can afford $150/year for the local paper.

I know national news is important, but there are plenty of other places where someone can get that. BH I feels needs to have more local news on a daily basis.

This app is frustrating. I’ve paid for a digital edition, but frequently while I’m reading an article, the page zips to the right and is gone. Then I have to hunt for the article again, and then the same thing happens. I tried clearing my cache and that didn’t help.
