### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-01-25, version 28.6.0*

I absolutely love this app, it’s a must-have for sports fans in Bergen county

### 1/5 — I can never find what I’m looking for.

*2023-01-25, version 27.0.1*

All I use is the search button. It’s now 2 days past the Bergen County Relays for winter track and I have yet to see any coverage of the meet. So not only do I wonder about the content, I think I must just be missing it?  Who knows. All it wants to give me is football scores and box scores that are not updated. As well the medal tracking and performance lists are not updated.

### 5/5 — Crashing!

*2022-06-11, version 26.10.0*

As of a week ago there is a serious bug that causes it to crash on my iPhone Xs!

### 5/5 — Reviews

*2022-03-02, version 26.10.0*

### 5/5 — Best Local sports in New Jersey!!!

*2021-12-01, version 26.8.1*

### 5/5 — Varsity Aces

Varsity Aces is an excellent source for high school sports.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-03-09*

I absolutely love this app, it’s a must-have for sports fans in Bergen county

### 5/5 — Great resource

*2020-12-09, version 6.2.0*

A great way to keep up with local high school sports!

### 1/5 — From first to worst

*2020-01-20, version 5.22.2*

The Record used to provide great coverage of the local high school scene in Northern New Jersey, winning awards for the quality of their work. Now they cover only what they deem as important (usually non-public), providing cursory info (at best) for the rest.
When they do condescend to provide additional coverage, it’s at least a day late.
What a shame that the legacy of your predecessors has been minimalized.

### 1/5 — Payments

*2019-11-16, version 5.21.3*

You have to pay for every single article🤦🏾‍♂️
