Rockford Register Star IL Reviews

I got Rock through Apple somehow. I used to be able to use the E Edition of the paper with a different app through this subscription, but the E Edition stopped working for some reason. When I contacted the paper, they told me that I got Rock through a third party and could not help me. I contacted Apple and they told me they could not help me. The E Edition is not included any more and it’s four times what I pay for Rock. Needless to say, I am deleting both apps and canceling my subscription. Rock seems like it repeats articles and is hard to “read the paper”. I liked the other app better (the E Edition), but am not willing to pay more than my subscription for the Chicago Tribune for it.

No news paper for 2 weeks No way to contact.

I only read the paper to get LOCAL stories, high school sports in particular and lately the coverage has been terrible. Nothing on Friday night games and today even had an incorrect win by Guilford over Boylan reported. A corrected version appeared on Facebook. I followed the link to the RRS ap and was asked to rate it. Oh boy, here's my chance, but there was no survey attached.
Then, the corrected article said that all the conference standings would appear below, they don't.
Gatehouse, you are killing this newspaper and it's painful to watch.

I have an online subscription to the Rockford Register Star. I pay them every month. And every month I have a problem with Rock. I can only read a couple articles then it tells me I have to pay for a subscription. When I click on “already have a subscription” and enter my info it says “no subscription found”. Calling them does NO GOOD. Their answer is to delete Rock and reinstall it. Don’t bother unless you like paying for something and not getting it.

I can’t find the e-edition.

There was no online paper on 2/22. Plenty of sports and real estate listings. Unacceptable!!

The new format is horrible!

I find the E-edition of the paper very irritating. Today is Feb 19th and we still have articles on finding your best live Christmas tree. Sssssoooo many articles are repeated over and over.

Rock should provide a way to display new articles only. I read each day. 50% of my time is looking for new articles. Even if you put a date on the article it would help.

This is almost impossible to read as a “newspaper “.

I have had Rock for over 3 years. With each update the site operates worse than the last update. Come on people, get an IT team that is worth having. Print is dead.... Soon this will be your only option & if you can not do better than this version, nail the doors shut. I get kicked off of the site at least 4 times per reading each day! That is terrible. Only in Rockford......

“Old” paper e edition was much better but can’t get it now, only this poor on line “new” version. If my husband didn’t like the print version we would just drop our subscription.

Crashes quite often and news isn't updated timely enough.

Continues to crash.

iPhone Xr

I like the newspaper format better The daily push notification for the newspaper format has been discontinued. Very disappointed.

This is a free app you get most the main stories that a person would get if they bought the actual newspaper I would like to see a paid app where I could get all the news stories

App works fine. Would like to see the main articles that you see in the paper though. Also don't like how the web site makes you pay to read their articles.

Keeps me “in the know” with Rockford area news when I am in Florida for the winter.

I appreciate having local news available at the touch of an app. The news is usually up to date. Rock , however, is tediously slow to open. I hope that will be fixed in the next update. Also, the current style for photos --displaying only a portion of the face -- is, in my opinion, ugly.

Working well, not a fan of opening ad for 6 months at $1 when I paid $10 for a year.

The Register Star has all the local news I can’t find anywhere else. It’s very reliable, and the stories are quite accurate.

I found Rock to work just fine for me. No crashes. I use Rock daily and I really enjoy how easy it is to navigate throughout the articles. You can even save or bookmark up to 100 articles. Definitely get this. Great job RRS. 
