### 5/5 — Great App

*2015-05-02*

Had issue with sign in required, reinstalled app and it fixed it.

### 1/5 — Breaking News?

*2015-04-05*

This used to be a fairly decent app but I'm beginning to think that The Record may not employ reporters anymore. The news sections are filled with editorials and rarely ever contain news stories. The same is true with The Saratogian app.

### 5/5 — Great paper

*2014-02-01*

Try it!! It really us a great over all paper!!!

### 2/5 — Cortland

*2013-10-05*

Needs to be updated more often.

### 1/5 — IPhone upgrade

*2013-09-20*

The news is no longer current so I downloaded the upgrade!

### 4/5 — Enjoy

*2013-06-02*

Like being able to check and follow the local news.  Good job with high school sports, too.

### 4/5 — Loving it

*2013-04-19*

Fantastic !!!!

### 3/5 — Expatriate

*2013-04-09*

Okay when it's updated. Useless when everything is 1 day old

### 5/5 — Good

*2012-09-04, version 1.1*

Does what it should, nothing more, nothing less.

### 3/5 — Obits

*2012-07-28*

The obits must have a limit of how many can be listed at one time.  There is never a complete list.   Perhaps there should be an option for the user to sort. ie - list today's only; list only memorials; list only obituaries.
