### 4/5 — Usually always Great

*2026-03-19, version 8.9.0*

Works good.  Every once awhile, there is a glitch whereas I am unable to open a particular page.

Wish all of Lane County sports team were covered.

### 3/5 — Not what it used to be

*2025-11-06, version 8.5.4*

I miss what the R-G used to be. Now most of the “news” is 2 days old and I’ve seen it elsewhere before I read it on our paper. I only keep it for the local obituaries. I really miss the birth announcements, marriage license applications, divorces, bankruptcies, etc.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-09-17, version 8.5.0*

Don’t subscribe

### 4/5 — Usually always Gre

*2025-08-28, version 8.1.0*

Works good.  Every once awhile, there is a glitch whereas I am unable to open a particular page.

### 2/5 — Newspaper no more

*2025-08-23, version 8.1.0*

It is unacceptable what has happened to the Register Guard news paper!
Having information repeat over several additions and “upcoming” events reported after the fact is a disservice to the area and those who look to be informed.
Today’s e-newspaper addition was missing the front page and began on page A2. It should be called an AD PAPER, the recurring full page and half page ads seem to dominate our once loved and respected local news paper.

### 2/5 — Too much Sports

*2025-07-20, version 8.1.0*

I wish there were more pages dedicated to news, and less to sports!

### 3/5 — The software is very good, the content is pretty good.

*2025-06-28, version 8.1.0*

I feel it’s important to support local news, so we have a subscription, the paper itself though is not so great. There are misspellings, repeat sentences and occasionally repeat paragraphs. The news is often old and sometimes you even talk about upcoming events that have already happened. Letters to the editor are important, but missing. The sports section is probably good, but not everyone cares about sports. The comics are great!

### 4/5 — My opinion

*2025-06-26, version 8.1.0*

The Register does a decent job covering the very biggest local stories but after that, nothing. Bucketloads of local sports but way short on news. Also many stories are repetitive one day to the next and many are simply duplicates of USA Today. 
I believe in local papers, emphasis on local.

### 4/5 — Great app! Editing still needs attention…

*2025-05-26, version 8.1.0*

We’re enjoying the new app, and appreciate the local news. Note though in sports reporting, for example, that our University of Oregon is abbreviated “UO”, not OU. Ohio? Especially not in a headline.

### 4/5 — Pricey Subscription

*2025-05-20, version 8.1.0*

R-G subscription costs far more than the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, and The Economist.  But it is where we get our local news (ignoring the USA Today fillers), and we want the crossword puzzles.  So we continue to overpay.
