It's great to now have easier access to the Record, but the app doesn't update its newsfeed.
Used to be a better paper a long time ago. I do appreciate the app. So thanks for the convenience of that.
Will not open after most recent update - says cannot connect to Internet.
The apo is beautifully designed, and works well. But I have problems with it. First, there's a section for "Top Stories" and another one for "News," and — as I use the app each day — I'm not clear about what the paper thinks the difference is. More important, all news stories are given equal play in the way the app is laid out. Not so in the print paper! There it's clear what the two or three big stories are. And the layout makes me want to read them. Here, everything seems equal, and so I might not read important stories, just because the headline doesn't grab me. (And it's even worse on the paper's website, where stories just one paragraph long get equal play with really big ones.)
Ok for the stories but buggy. Will shut down randomly. Find the same thing happens with New York daily news app. Wonder why Keeps you up to date with local stories ok. A left of center opinion and editorial page. But that's ok.
This could be the worst news app out there. There is no search bar to look stories up with, the world news feed never has any "content" in it, and the other sections are mostly worthless and jumbled. Typical of how the print edition has diminished in quality, this app looks as though it was hastily assembled, with no thought of how the reader should navigate it, and more concerned with cost. It's something you might've seen 11 years ago as news apps were beginning to develop. You're better off with the local cable news station app.
This is a great app. Have subscribed to the Kingston Freeman newspaper for years and years. What a rag of a paper that has turned out to be. Thank you for your great job on local news and sports.
