### 5/5 — Amazing

*2022-02-08, version 3.5.08*

What you guys have done is awesome love it

### 5/5 — Canton Rep Online

*2022-02-03, version 3.5.08*

Love it! So easy to read and page through. Since I get an email every day, it is a great reminder to check it out!

### 5/5 — Better experience than Digital Edition

*2022-02-03, version 3.5.08*

I love this app and enjoy using it much more than the digital online edition of The Rep.  There’s a lot more news available and I feel like I’m actually reading the local newspaper.  So glad to have finally discovered it.  The Repository should really advertise that this exists, as we only just recently discovered it by chance.

### 5/5 — Section

*2022-01-01, version 3.5.08*

Love reading the Canton Repository on line but, VERY upset you have replaced the Bible Verse of the day with persons quote.
Please return to having Bible verse’s! 
We need it now. Thanking you in advance

### 5/5 — Very Nice App!

*2021-12-26, version 3.5.08*

Nice format and easy to navigate—best of all it works really well!

### 5/5 — Quality online edition

*2021-11-30, version 3.2.63*

The Repository app offers a crisp edition of the newspaper that is easy to access and read.

### 4/5 — I like it

*2021-08-06, version 3.2.63*

Been using this app for quite awhile now and am really enjoying it. It’s easy,convenient, and simple to install. Saves having to go out in the ice and snow or pouring rain to get my news plus you get access to USA Today, which I really like. Any issues I have, which have been very few, a simple call to the Repository was all it took. Works great on my iPad

### 5/5 — Rep Review

*2021-06-04, version 3.2.63*

Love to be able to read the Rep anytime, anywhere! The format is very nice and easy to use.

### 4/5 — Try something different!

*2021-03-22, version 3.2.63*

If you haven’t tried reading the Rep online you are missing out.  It is so easy and convenient. No wet paper, no trudging out in the snow.  
This app is a huge improvement over reading online. The only thing about it I find annoying is that the text always wants to snap to an edge when I go to position it. It will stay put if I hold my finger on it for a second or so, but I would love to be able to have control over this function.  A small complaint.  
I also appreciate the extra content included with the app version.  I haven’t cancelled my print copy yet, but am considering it.
Give this app a try, you’ll be surprised at how intuitive it is to use.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on iPhone

*2022-01-06, version 3.5.08*

The app is terrible, downloaded and deleted multiple times with a paying subscription.  It doesn’t work and nobody at the paper or app developer wants to help.

### 1/5 — No stars

*2021-08-11, version 3.2.63*

Long time subscriber, last December singed up for a year with digital print. Repository suggested to use new app. Did for a few months and recently cannot access my subscription. 2-3 weeks of calls and emails to Repository and only one call back saying from them that they are having issues. As of today still no resolve, and 5 months of paid up subscription going to waste.

### 1/5 — I used to like it

*2021-08-11, version 3.2.63*

Now it is difficult to use. Every time I try to open app, it comes up “sorry, please contact Robin Foss at the repository. I emailed this person and never get a response back. So disappointed because I used to really like this app.

### 1/5 — Why change on line paper

*2021-06-18, version 3.2.63*

It was so easy to view rep before, now it has become difficult. It is so much harder, doesn’t always come up. It takes me around in circles until finally I hit right  buttons. Very disappointing.

### 3/5 — Like it better than I though.

*2022-11-12, version 3.6.13*

Did not want to buy an I pad, wish it worked better on a droid iPad
Cost a lot.

### 3/5 — No response

*2021-12-21, version 3.5.08*

I like the ap on my iPad but cannot get it to work on my phone. It gives me a number to call or email. I have gotten NO  response from the email. I sent a message twice.

### 4/5 — Canton Rep

*2023-01-11, version 3.6.13*

Easy to use and navigate

### 4/5 — E edition

*2022-07-10, version 3.6.13*

I like having the e edition to read.

### 4/5 — From a former Cantonian

*2022-06-16, version 3.6.13*

I find the Repository very informative about my hometown although I haven’t lived there for 40 years.  Family members still live there and I like finding out what’s happening there.

### 4/5 — Just like the old days

*2022-06-09, version 3.6.13*

I very much enjoy the ability to see the paper in a familiar print format. The fact you can click on an article and see it in it’s entirety is great. No need to flip pages to locate the remainder. 

Have an issue about daily downloads. Often times it reverts to previous issues causing me to have to go find it.

### 5/5 — Repository app

*2022-12-14, version 3.6.13*

Good deal

### 5/5 — Digital print

*2022-11-12, version 3.6.13*

This version of the app, while I have both, restores the feeling like you’re actually flipping through the local news each morning like you would with the actual paper and less like the feed stream of a social media site! Best of both worlds if you ask me but if you’re a fan of the other style they have that too! Not to mention have you seen some of the subscription deals they’re offering - practically giving it away- support your local news source!

### 5/5 — The Repository

*2022-11-04, version 3.6.13*

Great way to get daily news and hourly updates.

### 5/5 — Rep

*2022-10-30, version 3.6.13*

Well worth the money

### 5/5 — Local journalism is important

*2022-10-01, version 3.6.13*

App has a great layout for all users. People who like the ‘classic’ feel of reading a newspaper and those who want an audio version of a story would both love this app.

### 5/5 — Enjoy using the app

*2022-09-28, version 3.6.13*

I enjoy reading the Canton Repository every morning without the newspaper mess.  At first it was an adjustment but I finally accepted the online newspaper.  The app isn’t difficult to navigate once you learn its features.

### 5/5 — Great app for a great local paper

*2022-09-01, version 3.6.13*

Nice to be able to navigate between print view and reader view. Previous issues readily available and easy to switch between sections.

### 5/5 — Canton Repository

*2022-05-09, version 3.6.05*

Enjoy reading each day. Great job

### 5/5 — Rep

*2022-03-21, version 3.6.05*

Very convenient.  
Now I don’t have all the paper to dispose of. 
Thank you

### 5/5 — A Nice “Wake Up” for the day!

*2022-03-01, version 3.5.08*

I do enjoy having the Repository app pop up every morning to remind me to see what is happening in Canton and the World.
