North Jersey: Record & Herald Reviews

by EvelynMcH

Before the Record was sold to Gannett, it was a convenient way to catch local news. You could read 100 articles a month. Now you can’t read most because they are for subscribers only, and you can read ten truncated stories. After that, you can see headlines and less than a paragraph usually designed to tell you nothing. The content is barely local anymore, since the axing of most of the local staff. You will do better with any of the news streaming apps, even if all of them are biased and out of New Jersey. Deleting this off my phone after decades of being a loyal subscriber. The Record turned its back on NJ.

I see the same news every day... can’t find national or international news... can’t even find local obituaries unless the person was famous.
I’m sorry I ever signed up for NorthJersey but they started charging so much for their delivered paper I don’t have a choice.. stick with the free news on the internet. I thought I would be getting so much more locally but I guess its just USA Today crosses out and replaced with the Record

I’ve been using NorthJersey religiously for months. They offered 1,000 free article a month. Now I have “reached my limit for the month”. What Bull is that? They don’t even provide the actual number we are allowed? Forget it now. Turn away.

This is not the Herald News local Passaic county stories. This is an app that has late local news typically from Bergen county. My father subscribes to the print edition that’s delivered daily. The print version is somewhat more current than NorthJersey . If you want to view obituaries; forget it. There are no local funeral/viewing announcements. If you are looking for the help wanted and public announcement sections; forget about it. NorthJersey is not the way to get hyper local news that’s updated continuously.

Worthless app unless you buy their subscription. You used to get all articles free. Then it was 100 a month. Then it was 30 a month. Now since 1/1 it has told me I have exceeded the monthly limit. The other day I actually got to read one full article. So I’ve read a whole total of one article this month. Do your advertisers know this?

NorthJersey is the worst!! Signing in is impossible and if you’re lucky to get in, most of the time, when you try to return, you’ve been signed out and the frustration starts again. FIX IT!!!

The loss of the BERGEN record on line has been changed my
Need to read a newspaper. You don’t have obituaries only repeats of the past year
No reasons to try and find local news you continue to repeat the same stories your local news, sports, weather,lottery,are terrible
The Record was a great local and all news paper why would anyone want your on line news your going the same way as the New York Times another loser

Both NorthJersey and the website have auto-play videos that run every time you select an article to read. It is horribly annoying. I prefer to get my news elsewhere.

I attempt to log into my subscription and I have not been successful yet. I obtained a subscription about a couple of weeks ago. Free articles work without a problem.

This is a pretty good app but is very repetitive. It needs more up-date stories instead of repeating older ones to fill space

Cannot put print subscription on hold via app. What’s the point of signing into account if you can’t make updates to account?

Too many notifications

In an age when it is harder to get local news, this source delivers. Do I wish is was larger staffed, etc.? Sure. But they do the job with what they have.

I grew up in Bergen County reading The Bergen Record on a daily basis. I moved to a different part of NJ where the Record isn’t available. Now I can read it online which makes me feel like I am home again.

Good government requires checks and balances. The Record is my go to source for important stories and insights impacting northern NJ.

Left Paterson a few years back. NorthJersey helps me stay connected to the 973 all the way up here in New Hampshire. Great App!!!

Used to be a great app but no more. It will not let me read any stories. I actually get the paper and NorthJersey is not included. Very disappointing. Have watched the quality of the record decline over the years.

Been a subscriber for years and the local news are latest that you couldn’t find elsewhere.

Covid related news locally are also covered well.
