### 3/5 — Hard to navigate

*2026-08-08, version 28.11.0*

The app used to be better. I’m simply trying to suspend delivery for vacation and can no longer find the link. Using the magnifying glass to search, only goes to articles. This is so annoying!

### 1/5 — Bad. Just bad.

*2026-05-21, version 8.10.1*

Glitched, constantly needing to “restore my purchase”.    Delete it and rebuild from scratch.

### 5/5 — Reliable source

*2026-05-20, version 28.9.0*

Great place for local news and the USA today for national topics and sports, equals a great combination

### 5/5 — North Jersey Record

*2026-04-08, version 28.9.0*

Enjoy every day!

### 3/5 — Not enough news

*2026-04-07, version 28.9.0*

Give us a local section on Saturdays

### 5/5 — My morning start!

*2026-03-15, version 28.8.1*

My husband and I always enjoyed our morning paper with our coffee.  When he went on dialysis five years ago, we switched to the online edition. He has since passed, but I continue to enjoy The Record and even print out the puzzles to keep my mind active. So, thank you for the many years of keeping me well informed and entertained.

### 3/5 — The record

*2026-03-09, version 28.8.1*

Why are there so many articles bout Paterson and so many food reviews for Montclair?  You would think that the area from Rutherford to Hackensack didn’t exist. Please be more inclusive so that all of your circulation areas can be served equally.

### 1/5 — Terrible app!

*2026-02-12, version 28.8.0*

I can never get on this app !!

### 4/5 — Hard to use. I pay and I am somehow in wrong place and I amAsked to be a subscriber but I am

*2026-02-09, version 28.6.0*

App hard to use always confusing. Not like reading a paper

### 5/5 — Only Buy In The APPLE STORE!

*2026-01-22, version 28.6.0*

I was buying this directly for YEARS. North Jersey news was billing me $19.99 PER MONTH!!! It’s great. A newspaper has actual editors, writers, proofreaders. North Jersey News is a great source.
