So here's my honest take on the Bellingham Herald WA newspaper app. I've tested a bunch of local news apps and this one's pretty solid overall. The coverage is comprehensive and I like how they surface the most important stories. And the layout is clean and easy to navigate, though it did take me a little while to figure everything out at first. The ability to get breaking news alerts and share articles is also really handy. On the downside, the ads can get a bit intrusive, and some of the more advanced features are locked behind a paywall. But if you just want a simple way to stay on top of what's happening in Bellingham, this is a pretty good option.

Description

Been using the Bellingham Herald WA newspaper app for a couple months now. It’s basically a news app that keeps you up-to-date on what’s going on in the Bellingham area. Pretty solid if you’re into local news and events.

Here’s what you can do – there’s breaking news alerts so you always know what’s happening, plus you can read all the latest local stories on topics like crime, weather, traffic, and more. And it’s got some nice features too, like the ability to share articles on social media. Took me a little while to figure out the layout, but it’s pretty intuitive overall.

Look, if you live in or around Bellingham, you’ll probably find this app really useful. It’s not perfect – the ads can get a little annoying if you don’t pay – but it does a good job of keeping you informed about what’s going on in your community. Worth checking out.
