Great local paper
We read it daily and appreciate the political updates and local news.
GNR online
I read a number of publications online. GNR is by far the worst,.

Avoid this app!
This app has major known faults, yet it has not been repaired for weeks (Aug. 2023). Avoid downloading until it is fixed.
Current, paid-up subscribers cannot advance beyond the second page of the e-edition. Despite multiple phone calls to online support and individual N&R staff members over a period of more than two weeks, this access problem has not been solved. Email contacts with staff have been ignored. One online support person acknowledged the issue but had no plan for addressing it.
Considering the current diminished state of print journalism, it seems the least a publication can do is to allow those who have already paid for the service have access to it!

Needs a lot more work
Not user friendly. I am allergic to newsprint so I keep adding this app, . Then I have to delete because of all the frustration. This morning the app kept freezing. My speed tester reported that the problem is not my Ipad so I deleted the app AGAIN! So now I have to suffer the newsprint again. Someone please invent a newsprint that is easy on allergies. Someone fire the person who created this poor app.

Meh
Like the paper but the app doesn’t refresh — still seeing an item from 3 months ago under Local News.
Alerts are DAYS late
I assume it’s an editorial decision to push out stories that are days and days old? Just like the updates sent via email, OLD news. Application seems to be working better than it was.
Only let’s you look at 15 articles
You can only look at 15 articles and it will make you make an account not worth it. Try Fox 8 app for local news no account needed. And it’s a lot better
Initial pop up ad lags
Your initial ad, usually a real estate company, will not swipe up or close out in a timely matter. I'd like to spend more time in your app, but the lag is frustrating so I am deleting this from my iPhone. I'm not technically challenged and have a newer model phone, so no issues on this end. Please update.

Review of news & record app
It is as timely and accurate as any newspaper app.
Layperson
Mostly, I appreciate push notifications of recent local and state headlines.
Woefully incomplete
Pretty pitiful. Whatever happened to a section labeled "Sports"? ACC and high school boxes just don't cut it. Headline news: "jailer forces oral sex..." (The very first news item!) On the front page? How pitiful is that? Surely something worth publishing can be gleaned from the state, local or national news. When do we stop with the horrific and Hollywood crap? I'll stick to the other sources of the news.

It WAS my go to new app
I just don't go on the app anymore since they limited the articles to read. I tune in to fox8 where it's free to read all day and everyday.
Do not read over 30 articles in 30 days
I have been block for reading 30 articles in 30 days. Email New & Record and have not gotten a response back this has been over 90 days.
Go to app for What's Up in G'boro
This is the first place I go to find out what's happening in my hometown, Greensboro
Article Limit
Was a good little news app but now they limit the number of articles you can read. I understand this is probably due to lower hard copy sales.
Good layout and easy to navigate
Good layout of stories and very easy to navigate
Great
The News-Record app is well laid out and consistently reports the top news stories in a concise and timely fashion.
Not Great!
This app has no way to get into the e-edition. I have subscribed thru e-edition for quite some time, but this paper does not meet needs of e-subscribers. The sites come and go and I must enter and re-enter my ID and password to read stories. Very irritating!
Moderately Useful
There is no search function. Passable for browsing a few headlines but useless if looking for news or updates on a specific topic. The print version of the paper is quality. Disappointing the app seems to be more of an obligatory afterthought than a true complement to the newspaper.
Worst app for Newspapers I take
Look at Palm Beach Post and WSJ for a good app....News and Record the worst newspaper app I subscribe to
