★★★★★ Unfortunately it constantly crashes.
★★★★★ App keep crashing every time it appears to present a new ad graphic.

★★★★★ I don't even owe this company money and they sent me to collections and dropped my credit score 47 points over $40.
★★★★★ I was disappointed at turning the pages of my actual newspaper to find limited information in the "Recent home and property sales" there was a general, NOT a specific URL.
★★★★★ A free app that you need to pay to use?

★★★★★ App keep crashing every time it appears to present a new ad graphic. Not worth the aggravation. Will get my news elsewhere.
★★★★★ Good luck finding what you want; trying to dodge intrusive ads is like playing an unpleasant video game.

★★★★★ Just useless for local news.
Nothing stands out.

I live in Florida now. I lived In Wauconda for my entire life until we moved 6 1/2 years ago. I have had the Daily Harold app on my ipad and phone for 20 years plus. I looked forward every morning to reading your paper with my morning coffee. I looked forward to being informed on “Lake county news” including Wauconda and other northwest suburban towns such as Fox Lake, Lake Zurich, Grayslake, and Waukegan to name a few. Now all I get in Mount Prospect, Arlington Heights, Naperville, and Des Plains. I want to see what is happening with Wauconda sports, but all I get is Fremd, Stevenson, Buffalo Grove and Wheeling. I have had my Herold app for more than 20 years but now the formate has changed. I called customer service to see if there was a different version I needed to switch to and was told “ it is what it is “! So sad that the northwest suburbs is being so neglected.
This app is terrible, and the Daily Herald refuses to fix all the bugs, the last updated version was 3 years ago.
Why no DuPage or Cook County news in those sections? Why no news of significance in Top Stories. If I wanted a few local stories about restaurants closing, I can look up that “news” in The Patch. Horrible.
The app is not working as it once was. About six weeks ago seems everything changed. The Business section has more articles than usual, a lot of repeats and only one line of text showing. No articles for DuPage County today. At least the strange characters seem to be gone now. Please fix. Thanks
App is fine - needs a search engine similar to web version.
