However, I find it distressing that often time a non-editorial news articles are slanted towards a woke point of view. Traditionally news reporters were tasked with reporting the news in a direct non - biased fashion so that the reader could form their own opinion about what to believe. That doesn't appear to be the case any longer which lessens the value of the news. ### 2/5 — Focus on St Augustine *2024-03-04, version 27.6.1* I accepted the $1 for 6 month offer in an effort to understand what is happening in STA. What is being built where and when, local politics, events, etc. All I have seen is local sports and info I read in the Jax Times Union or elsewhere. Where can I get real STA news? because I’m not seeing it here??? ### 4/5 — The Récord Review *2021-10-21, version 26.5.9* It’s somewhat improved from the rabid right wing trumpet it once was but fact remains: the Op-Ed staff still favors the Trumptard hit parade putting parent choice above public good in regard to masks and vaccine, anti-abortion Evangelical spew over a woman’s right to choose and continues to herald big developers clear cutting everything in sight to build what’s amounting to facsimile of Palm Beach, making St Johns County a de facto extension of JAX and Duval County. Frankly, the only worthwhile column day in/out is Sutton’s Fish Report on Thursday. Glad I have a digital sub to this rag, hate to think of the trees lost to print the rest. ### 3/5 — Can’t zoom *2021-02-25, version 6.4.0* I need to know how to zoom in for easier reading ### 2/5 — Old News *2021-01-23, version 6.3.0* The app itself functions satisfactorily but the Record can’t be bothered to update all the sections. The Opinion section goes weeks or months without an update. Equally damning is that they DO update the photo of the available pet of the day but do not tell you which rescue to contact. The lack of effort and follow through is truly unacceptable. ### 1/5 — St. Augustine.com website *2018-05-23, version 6.0* Subscription page states ‘Unsecure website’. Do not feel comfortable in using the site. ### 1/5 — Doesn't function without membership *2014-08-21, version 5.10.3* Terrible and now deleting the app. ### 1/5 — Used to work... *2014-03-12, version 5.10.3* It was working well and I enjoyed checking it often. However now it asks for a log in and says to check the mobile site for subscription information. When checking the mobile site there is nothing about a subscription. It's a great concept, but requires management. ### 1/5 — Unfortunately.... *2014-01-12, version 5.10.3* App isn't ready for prime time. It stays on the page with the logo and the sky background. There are no widgets or anything to press. It's simply not ready. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Be very careful *2026-03-24, version 28.9.0* To start this is just the USA Today with a somewhat local slant. St Augustine does not have a local paper anymore. Furthermore is you do subscribe the fee charged to me was $99.00 for a year. Digital only. I immediately called to cancel and get a refund. No they won’t do that. They keep their STOLEN money. So your warned! ### 1/5 — Hardly Works *2024-09-04, version 27.12.0* The e edition never loads. I already cancelled my subscription after one day. Of course you don’t get a refund so I just got ripped off. Live and learn….. ### 1/5 — Prefer Paper News *2024-03-30, version 27.6.1* I find the new app cumbersome. The old app would easily download my Saturday paper, not anymore. I am old fashioned. I like holding my newspaper in my hands. I don’t like the idea of having to figure out how to print the crossword puzzles from my iPad. I still read paperback books as well as hardcover books. I hate online reading. ### 1/5 — Cannot be read…. *2023-12-13, version 27.5.1* Totally unusable and a complete mess……..after 30+ years with the record I think I’m done ### 1/5 — No reporters, no editor, no news *2023-12-04, version 27.5.1* A few years ago this paper was sold and now there are no reporters and no editor. You’re better off going to the internet or one of the free papers at local businesses . There is no coverage of any St Augustine news. ### 1/5 — No reporters, no editor, no news *2023-11-28* A few years ago this paper was sold and now there are no reporters and no editor. You’re better off going to the internet or one of the free papers at local businesses . ### 1/5 — Communist Propaganda *2022-10-23, version 26.12.5* The app pushes out notifications to their left leaning attack articles with no sense of fairness or balance. This USA Today phony communist rag wants to keep Saint Augustine in the dark about the realities facing our residents and visitors and actively seeks to subvert American sovereignty. Needless to say, I deleted the app. Truly disgusting. ### 1/5 — Yawn *2022-01-09* One new story in the Sunday edition. The is old news. Is there a place to read “ TODAYS” news that rivals getting the paper? This is truly disappointing. ### 1/5 — A waste *2021-11-02, version 26.5.9* I’m not sure how this paper still circulates. You are lucky to get a new news story every 3 days. There are stories that are over a year old still listed on the main page. Does anyone even work there? This paper is not worth the monthly subscription. ### 1/5 — Frustrating ap *2019-12-05, version 6.7* This app has trashed my ability to get a copy of the Record on my iPad. I find it to be VERY FRUSTRATING!!! Contacting the Record support team gave some suggestions, none of which have solved my issues. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best option for SA *2025-10-19, version 28.5.4* Best option for local news. No where near what it was a few years ago. So sad about newspapers in general. ### 5/5 — Love the coverage! *2025-06-25, version 28.1.0* I own in St Augustine but live in Atlanta. I depend on the SA to keep me up to date and informed on all state and local news. It never disappoints, thank you for the timely news and coverage. ### 5/5 — Best option for SA *2025-06-15* Best option for local news. No where near what it was a few years ago. So sad about newspapers in general. ### 5/5 — Well Done! *2025-05-22, version 28.1.0* This app makes my life easier! ### 5/5 — Reliable news, reliable app *2025-05-18, version 28.1.0* Get local, state and national news with the ability to share articles with this app. Support main stream media that gives the people the information they need to know. ### 5/5 — Jack C *2025-03-30, version 28.1.0* Covers local news best. ### 5/5 — The Paper *2023-04-09, version 27.0.4* Enjoyable read when the paper edition is not available ### 5/5 — My other hometown paper *2021-09-22, version 26.5.9* I enjoy keeping up with the happenings in St. Augustine. I consider it my second home and The Record keeps me in touch year round. Pleasure to see on my phone. ### 5/5 — Great coverage of local news *2020-11-20, version 6.2.0* Covers local interest matters very well. ### 5/5 — Well Done! *2020-10-29* This app makes my life easier! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
