## Waterloo Region Record Reviews in Canada

### ***-- "Where are the crosswords"
I would like to see the daily crosswords available to play on the app.
-- Kiki707070, 2024-12-13

### *---- "Little content"
I find there is very little information provided for each article.
-- Tribalfamily, 2024-08-30

### *---- "Horrible subscriber experience"
Despite being logged in, when I click on an article it won’t load fully and says only for subscribers. Worse yet it doesn’t even give an option to login on the article page, only an option to contact us. Trying to support local journalism but they aren’t making it easy.
-- lookin out the the window, 2023-11-03

### *---- "Not much contents available and not up to date"
for the region
-- Boryeonni, 2023-09-23

### **--- "Annoying banners"
Recently they added ‘breaking news’ banners. They are very annoying, appear to stack as multiple articles are assigned that status, and it looks like you can’t deactivate this ‘feature.’  Try again, or at least let us deactivate it.
-- subsubkscb, 2023-08-02

### *---- "Never get the editorials"
On my Record app, there is still, today April 28, only one editorial showing fir the whole of 2023.  So disappointing. When friends tell me about interesting info,   I search for articles by headline, buy author, and often get nothing.  And we pay for this?!?!?!
-- Chevy Bolt, 2023-04-28

### *---- "Useless"
How do I get the view the actual newspaper??? 
This app does not give me everything my in each daily newspaper, even as a signed in paid subscription. 
Useless.
-- Havingabreak, 2022-02-26

### *---- "Horrible app"
Totally terrible. I changed from the record app on my newspaper subscription which I had used since COVID started and it easy and functionality was great on my iPhone. Since  it needed renewed, I am now forced to use this app that is terrible and full of old news, no obituaries when all I want to do is see the actual record paper and press on any article in the paper. I can’t get the newspaper view to enlarge to even see it properly on iPhone.
-- Boo to shaw, 2022-02-14

### *---- "Paywall now"
Added paywall to as an enhancement. Deleted app
-- Is any nickname available?, 2021-12-23

### *---- "No longer free.  Have to subscribe."
The new update requires you to subscribe to read the articles.
-- TheRealGuy2019, 2021-12-23

### *---- "Paid subscription???"
For what? For news about junkies overdoses? For news about incompetent city of Cambridge municipality? For safe injection sites updates? For MZO news? For COVID updates? For what???
-- Der Sharp, 2021-12-22

### *---- "Frustrating"
No longer free to read.
-- Apparition1979, 2021-12-22

### ***** "Great app"
Love it 👍
-- Pieper b, 2021-02-25

### *---- "???"
Some days it works great and most days lately it just drops. You open again,try to scroll and bang it drops.
-- dakotarag, 2021-01-13

### ***** "So. Much. Better."
From exclusively complaints to none. Major improvement to the app. Functionality is now on par with current decade.
-- Mikethinks this so is..., 2020-07-02

### *---- "Not working"
Worked fine for a week now it shows signs of starting up then the screen goes white.  Has not been working for me now for days.  They need to get this fixed!
-- 1387658923957235047204670=49, 2020-06-22

### *---- "Not working since last update"
Since the lat update app only shows up in portrait orientation. It was annoying, but manageable. However for. The past week, it tries to load and I end up with a blank screen.
-- lprospero, 2020-06-22

### *---- "A complete and total failure"
Will not open, or crashes within seconds to leave a blank screen. Poor.
-- HeusLepus, 2020-06-21

### *---- "Won’t move to landscape mode"
I hold my iPad in landscape mode. The cover works that way as well, but not this app.
-- SherpaSteve, 2020-06-03

### *---- "What a joke"
This thing is an iPhone app (small and portrait mode). Even if it were a use app (it isn’t) I wouldn’t use it because of that.
-- A Happy Mac User, 2020-05-14
