The Calgary Herald

Not updating on galaxy s4

I used to like the app and the guts are still there. I understand ads help pay for free apps. Between every second to third story there is an ad. I accepted that. Now in addition there are full page pop-up ads. You've gone to far. I am uninstalling this app as soon as I finish posting this review. Very unfortunate.

Very little info basic uniformative and kinda lame. Post stuff a 3rd what ctv has.

Very slow at getting big news updates. Often 30min to hours behind other news sources. Articles are also not updated frequently on the app and generally carries the same news stories for weeks at a time.

The calgary Herald app should go extinct just like the Herald newspaper. Intrusive ads, horrible editing and extremely slow with news updates. You will see most breaking news on other apps before the Herald. Garbage.

The worst invasive ads

It is worth it

Done with the herald and app for blatant bias. Won't miss ya.

Calgary Herald News

With the comments section gone I don't even use the app anymore

The app won't even load most days.

It is worth it

Where is the comments section?

The old app was 10x better: stories loaded completely, faster, the comments section created a sense of community, debate and participation. This new one does none of that. Stories are often unreadable or missing large chunks of information. For years the herald app was the best around, fast, functional and complete. I could share stories and engage my community. Now I barely even open it because the content is often missing. You couldn't even update your notes on the play store to change Regina to Calgary..

This app was good for the different point of views in the comment section. Now that's gone. This app is full of bugs and advertising. Don't download! Save your time!

I use this app daily and its improved a lot. Love pop up messages should be more regular.

I like the format of the latest version, although the intrusiveness of the ads is slightly annoying and why why why why why can I only share an article via Gmail?!?!?! Why is this restricted at all? Shouldn't you want us to share your articles? I am personally abstaining from sharing your content until you offer some more reasonable sharing options (e.g. SMS/Messenger, WhatsApp, Hangouts, etc). Get with the times.

None of the actual body content is displaying for the articles; only the image, headline and byline. Tapping or pulling on the top "winndowshade" does nothing - according to the help, it's supposed to let you navigate between sections.

The new app is smoother doesn't crash like the precious version and is very nice to use. Wish list item : add text messaging as an option for sharing content.

The latest version is constantly crashing. I used to use this app everyday now its so unstable I can hardly open it up without it crashing.

I like the new format and sleek design. Also, well done removing the comments sections.

Great app

Removing comments was a bad move. What are you afraid of?

I wonder how much the full page 'elections-Canada' yellow conservative ad had to with your recent endorsement. Sadly I can't pretend you're unbiased anymore, so uninstalled. Can't retain youth readers with idiocy like that.

For months I have been unable to like any comment other then the first one. For over a year pictures have never shown up and I'm on a new phone. Time to look for another news source as your other app is crap.

No more World news Section!!!????

This app is 1/10 the size of the "improved" version that attempts to replace it - but much more stable and efficient to read.

This app is absolutely awful!! It still has breaking news coverage of the Alberta budget which was put out weeks ago!!

Much, much better than the shockingly horrible new Calgary Herald app (which I uninstalled within hours). The Herald should be ashamed of the new app. I have subscribed to the Herald print edition since July 1982, and I am ashamed that my Herald has developed and promoted the horrible new app.

No search capability, inconsistent implementation of the back button. Has a lot more content then the new ap, however. Usable if you are just browsing, but still frustrating.

Its a good app news wise but loading comment takes foooooooooorreeeeeeevvvvvvvvveeeeeeeerr

I am a reasonably savvy computer guy but have been trying for days to load the Calgary Herald app to my android tablet and to access my newspaper. The instructions say my tablet is compatible but the little circle just circles. This is after buying a second 99 cent subscription after having paid full price for an earlier subscription and not being able to access my paper because of some pop - up that kept popping up and refusing me access, notwithstanding that user-id and password were accurate. I then just gave up and asked for a new password which was emailed to, I got access once, and then never again. I totally give up. Sheesh.

Only top news and sports section, actual let you read the full articles

App is constantly hanging and causes phone to lock up

Constant failure of App! Will rate 5 once fix happens

Crashes 6/10 times randomly

Always freezes and shuts down

When I swipe through news items it locks up at news item 12 or 13

Work

Good app but crashes at least daily
