Review

I like the format. It looks like an actual paper newspaper.

Local news!

I have been a loyal Record Searchlight subscriber since 1993. It’s taken awhile to get used to the online platform, but so glad to still have access to local news coverage each day.

Puzzles

Love the convenience but really wish I could play the puzzles online!

Local News and events

My husband and I read the online edition every day. We would appreciate more local news and notifications of local events before they occur.

Review

I really like it. Check it out several times a day. Just takes a few minutes each time. Like the listing it by departments. And that it is updated during the day. Good job.

Make My Day!

I love starting my day with the RS and a cup of coffee. Thank you for the great coverage of local news, events, and the local restaurant/business buzz!

Changing video programing

The video layout is a mess. You cant tell what days news story you are reading without a search! Finding the days stories collected is a challenge Some of the ads are questionable. I dislike it & always try to get the traditional layout. Accidentally touch the wrong place & it disappears & you have to reload.

Wonky

Works most of the time but at least, once a month I have to sign in again. Which means looking up my password, etc.

5:30 every morning

I really enjoy the mix of world, state, local and interest stories, not to mention Dr Roach’s daily tidbit next to a quick weather summary. Goes great with my morning coffee!

Sue

Little things make a big difference. Example is the Sunday crossword puzzle. I can now print it regular size and I don’t have to use my magnifying glass to read the clues!! Happy puzzler

Where is “Print” button?

Tried to print some puzzles but no print button when using my ipad (ios 17.2). My Windows 11 computer showed a print button that worked.

I enjoy reading the E-Paper daily

It’s a good bargain, staying informed of the city of my youth, and my Alma Mater, Shasta High & local area sports. I also subscribe to the London Times.

Erecord-review

I really enjoy reading the paper online.For me it’s just easier.

I Loved the previous format

Do not like this one at all. Forced to give this 1 star to post.

Record Searchlight

I’m trying to change debit card information it will not make available to me. They get paid through this debit card.

Very little current news

Same headlines day after day

Fails

Crashes or fails to load. I am a subscriber and it won’t let me read certain articles.

If this area was your home this is a good source of information.

I grew up in Northern California. Siskiyou and Shasta counties. Moved away years ago but an article with Shasta Lake or a photo of Mt. Shasta will always get my attention. This app/newspaper helps me feel like less of a stranger.

I downgraded the app for 2 reasons. 1) targeting cookies cannot be turned off. 2) I cannot cancel the subscription from the app.

Terrible source for facts

This news outlet is overly bias and promotes mis-information that promotes the divide between philosophical beliefs in a community that is built on diversity. Very poor over sight and coverage of important events.
