overall reasonably happy with app. But often find yesterday's news is still featuring when I open up for a new day's viewing; waking at 6 and often finding little new content until later in the morning. And have often seen the same stories (not updated) run for 3 or more days

I find it informative but some of the articles need subscriptions and it's a little frustrating. I understand that the Herald needs people who pay to keep going. Still would recommend the articles.

To my mind there's too much emphasis on local news in the main menu. I'd like more world news and important news given more emphasis. Another bug is the app continually locks me out of premium, even though I pay for it. Very irritating.
