Worthless app

Links don’t work. Search function doesn’t work. Crashes regularly. Worthless. Update…App developer response explicitly implies I don’t know how to navigate the app which is causing the problems. Yea, cause I don’t know how to “click” a story/advertisement poorly disguised as a story. Or how to click on 3 week old stories still populating the home page. Yep.

more popup’s than website, reporting truly terrible

this app has more interstitial ads and popups than any website ever did, even in the 90s. it also forgets your sign-in information constantly when the mobile website remembers it. as far as the paper goes, the writing has really gone downhill in the past three years. unsubscribing since a combination of other local outlets do everything better. check out nebraska examiner, silicon prairie news, grow omaha, and huskermax.

Garbage App 0/10

Why do we pay so much for OWH only to have an app filled with ads and videos? A service we pay for should not have such a spammy app. 0/10

Constantly having to log out and back in

If you love logging in and out of apps you’ll love this one. While you’re logged into the app, if you want to read anything beyond the headline, the app makes you sign in. But you’re already signed in, so it won’t work. So then you have to log out, then log back on. It’s ridiculous.

Horrible app

Content disappears when you scroll. Real estate listings included with news. Feedback goes to a BHMedia email address. The World-Herald is owned by Lee Enterprises. Berkshire Hathaway hasn’t owned the WH for years. Of course, no response to feedback.

New updates terrible

Update 5/15/21: Pop up ads continue, but worse with annoying videos. App keeps you logged in until you want to read an article then must log out and back in before you can read it. It will give you a pop up to login but not anywhere to put information in. Must go back to app, logout then back in. Sooooo annoying. Update 9/12/21: It gets worse…now pop up ads as soon as you open the app. I’m a paying subscriber, this should not be happening. It’s also super annoying that the app keeps asking me to log in instead of keeping me logged in Hard to figure out where to find all the news articles. Finally figured out you had to go a news article to get to the menu with more options. The old layout was much better to see categories. Now I’m trying to read articles only to get the pictures but not the story. Tried copying a link to open in a browser and it’s the wrong article done this several times with different articles. Also tried to favorite the articles but again wrong ones were then listed. And it’s bad enough that the app can’t keep a subscriber logged in. Go back to the previous version. And beta test before pushing out updates!!

Ad opener

Having to watch an annoying video every time I open the app leads to this one star rating. The content is fine.

Totally weak!

$26 a month and you still have to view ads! I wouldn’t pay a dollar a month for this app!

Vulgar, violent, intrusive ads- even for subscribers

30 second ads at startup and now randomly that occur while using the app that make it impossible to do anything but wait it out. This is terrible enough but some of the ads are both violent (an ad for game apps where people are mass shooting zombies) and racy. Again this occurs even if you are a paid subscriber. I absolutely thought OWH and BHM had better standards than this.
