App Profile: Boston Herald E-Edition

Rating: 4/5

I like the content — much more balance and objective than the Boston Globe — and the app works pretty well, but I have two criticisms: 1) There’s no easy way to upgrade my subscription from electronic to print plus electronic. 2) I get emails on featured stories but I don’t get logged in automatically when I follow the links. Furthermore, the links should bring up the app rather than the web browser when I’m on my phone.

I find the coverage of the Herald as simple and clear as any source available today with a slant toward the topics that have always been part of life in the Boston area. Examples are, ineffective and wasteful state government, corrupt police, firemen who can’t put out a fire, teachers union that is self serving and well connected to Beacon Hill, transit workers making six figures, underfunded public pension plans, decaying infrastructure, the merry-go-round of criminal enterprise, our children falling further behind on the world stage, widening economic gap, racial tension, etc. So many stories to write. Keep up the good word. Bob

Very easy to navigate, good layout of the paper with ability to increase size of article, excellent for iPad, once in a while last few pages don’t download and don’t appear until well after I’ve read the paper, but I enjoy reading the paper in this fashion.
