Long Time subscriber
I’ve enjoyed the paper for a long time. Living out of state helps me keep in touch with sports and the Midlands.
Can’t download app on iPhone.. ok on older i pad tho ?
Why is there only one crossword puzzle some days Anymore ? Wrong.. you “ advertise” a half a page promoting your many “puzzles.” then you only have one crossword puzzle!
Omaha World Herald
Enjoy reading the entire daily newspaper online. The printed version was too expensive and the price varied every time I renewed. The only downside to the app is that it frequently requires re-logging in, even though still logged into the app.
Horrible
Love the WH and the content, but the app is a waste of time. You try to read an article and it continues to minimize. Started to access through a browser. Have no issues that way. So over this app.
Connection to Community
Reading OWH keeps me more connected to Omaha.
Ac
Ok
Great when it works
I'm constantly having to delete and reinstall the app because it doesn't recognize my account as being a subscriber. Always works when I reinstall, then randomly stops working again.
Omaha World Herald
Well made app for quality local journalism
Bias Omaha District Garbage ‘Newspaper’
The editors of this media outlet do not represent the great people of the state. Anti-Nebraska value turn started when Trump was reelected. Will be getting my state news elsewhere. Bye
Great app - poor notification system
Content is great but the push notifications reset to “off” after each update. And when you click on a notification, you get a paywall notification (doesn’t recognize your logged in). But if you click on home and select the article, it takes you right in. This bug has been consistent for at least 12 months and it would be nice if it was addressed. Plus, lack of notifications reaching users = fewer clicks = less advertising $.
I love my Omaha World Herald!
I grew up in Lincoln reading both the Lincoln Journal and the Omaha World Herald. After graduating from the U of N decades ago, I came to realize that I both needed and wanted to keep up with what’s happening in Lincoln and in Nebraska generally and especially with the Husker men’s and women’s sports teams. The online OWH keeps me very well informed. I still feel very much a Husker and a Nebraskan even though I’ve lived either on the east coast or west coast since my graduation from college. There is no place like Nebraska. Go Big Red! Thank you OWH! Joel Swanson
Opportunities for improvement
The OWH app defaults to featuring mostly sports-related stories. It is very difficult to find the front page stories or the other features stories in the app. The only way to see the front page stories is to view the electronic version of the paper. The front page story should be the featured story on the app.
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.
Review of OWH
Seem to be quite a liberal paper.
Awful layout and ad ridden
Really disappointed with the OWH app. The formatting is awful and the layout is not user friendly. It’s difficult to search for specific articles and as a paying subscriber to the World Herald, I find it surprising that there are so many advertisements still littered throughout the app. Makes for a frustrating user experience.
Not the app of a legitimate news organization
Articles are great when you finally get to read them. However every time you open the app you have to watch some asinine 30 second ad for some lame iPhone game. By default the sound is turned which makes them twice as annoying.
Charged without authorization
I suspended my subscription. I’m a snow bird & don’t need it. I saw an offer for 3 months at $1.00 . That’s worth it to me. Tried to sign up & pay. Kept saying error. I gave up. Called subscription department to say take us off suspension & just stop cancel us. 4 days later got a call i couldn’t take. Week later an apple- world hearld charge appears from Apple for $27.81. It’s was not authorized, approved or requested. They just decided to steel my money, if they could. Steel might be strong but without attention, it’s the same thing. I feel sorry for OMH. Dying industry. There technology & customer service will aid in their demise. Call them & easily resolve the issue. Forget it. Essentially they are not worth the trouble.
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.
Reader
The paper itself is very good. The add format is disgusting much like trying to read a newspaper on a park bench in a 50 mile per hour wind. Guess I’d rather pay a little more money than put up with this nonsense..
Honest journalism that we need
I love the Omaha World-Herald and rely on them to keep me informed on what is happening locally. If you aren’t subscribed please consider supporting them. My one suggestion for the app would be to allow people to select which topics they would like to receive push notifications for. That would let me keep getting the important notifications I care about and skip the stuff I don’t care about. Similar to how your newsletters work.
App will not open.
This app will not open on apple. ???
needs sign in feature
I would give the app 5 starts if there was a sign in feature for digital subscribers
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
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.
