‘Non-millennial’ finds HeraldNet phone app easy to use

Everyone knows that times are tough for print media, as many letters to the editor have already stated. The general consensus, though, is that effective local news is absolutely critical to the democratic process. What to do, what to do??

I signed up for one of the HeraldNet online Zoom tutorials recently, but unfortunately there were technical issues, so it was cancelled. I thought, “Well, strike two”.

So out of desperation today, I jumped into the HeraldNet app and gave it a shot. I was very pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to read, and how clear and intuitive the navigation was. And I’m no millennial; I’m about 50 years past that!

Congrats to the app development team for maintaining the look and feel we are accustomed to. Keep that local news coming.
