### 5/5 — Dependable

*2026-07-04, version 4.0.1*

Quality, inclusive and detailed solid read!

### 1/5 — Can’t read paper

*2025-10-21, version 3.18.05*

New format is not compatible for my iPad.
Customer service told me to buy a newer
Version to read Recorder. Could you buy 
One for me. I do get a hard copy delivered
But it is always late. How much longer can
This paper stay in business ? Been reading
It for 60 years, worst ever. MFC

### 2/5 — Bad update

*2025-10-06, version 4.0.1*

It’s harder to read an article all the way through. And when I want to print one, or share it, I can’t choose just that article. It won’t work anymore on our older iPad that we got specifically to read the newspaper.

### 1/5 — No longer usable

*2025-10-01, version 3.18.05*

I can’t download the latest version nor use the version I currently have due to my iPad’s age.

### 4/5 — Needs some tweaks

*2025-09-22, version 4.0.1*

iPhone user. Clunky user interface. Some navigation steps are sporadic. Some articles can’t be selected. A disappointing, and frustrating experience more often than not.

### 1/5 — The Greenfield Recorder App terrible

*2025-09-22, version 4.0.1*

The app is terrible.  
-In full page mode, the entire news page does not fit on the screen.  
-When in article read mode, the advertising is distracting.  There is a wide bar at the bottom, and embedded ads that often flash, distracting the reader from the article. 
-The app does not respond to keyboard commands on an iPad
-The new day’s enews does not automatically load.  I have to back out from the last page of the previous day, find the new day, and open that.  
-The old app, while not as flashy and new looking was much more intuitive to use.
-Comparitively, this app is terrible.

### 1/5 — Have the classic, or legacy view return.

*2025-09-03, version 4.0.0*

New interface is not what I like to use to read the Recorder. I’d rather have the paper delivered and it’s not an option for my route any more. Have a legacy option made available please.

### 1/5 — Hate new format

*2025-09-01, version 4.0.0*

What happened to the traditional turn the page technology? It was simple and straightforward. Turn to the next page and chose an article to read. New online version is a maze where you keep turning up on the page you’ve already read.

### 1/5 — Have the classic, or legacy view return.

*2025-08-28*

New interface is not what I like to use to read the Recorder. I’d rather have the paper delivered and it’s not an option for my route any more.

### 1/5 — Really?

*2025-08-26, version 4.0.0*

Why did you change the way the e-paper works? I preferred the way it was. Like so much tech, it feels like change for change sake, not really an improvementment
