Comments on North Jersey: Record & Herald for Android

★★★★★ Bob Vogt · Jan 19, 2020

The app gets most of the main articles news weather sports at no cost. It works smoothly, and I use it many times a day👍

★★★★☆ John Carluccio · Sep 23, 2025

The local reporting is very good... I would like more opinion writing, especially regarding local elections and issues ... Unfortunately, the app is sometimes difficult to navigate such as right now in trying to "send" this response and then move on.

★★★★★ Mark Nemhauser · Dec 29, 2022

Great source of news for people from Central Jersey (Yes, there is a Central Jersey)

★★★★★ Stanley Zalenski · Aug 22, 2026

This newspaper has really evolved into a 1st class #1. Special stories / investigative reporting is amazing.

★☆☆☆☆ Jeff K · Sep 18, 2025

So glad they updated this on 9/15/25 to include "bug fixes." i gues the three different articles that I just tried to read didn't really crash the app. Must have been my imagination.

Duplicate Accounts & Unauthorized Charges! I've had to report them to the NJ Attorney General's office. Beware of these sharks. They are now owned by Gannett Group, and are apparently living up to their name. They make it virtually impossible to cancel your subscription, will make charges for less than $10, then tell you it's their policy not to refund anything under $10. I set up an account with them on October 9th at 8:01pm, and they set up 2 accounts at exactly that time. I wrote to them, and they told me I would not be charged for the duplicate. I was. I then wrote to them again, and it has taken me until today, 25 emails, 2 app "chats" and a long phone call to get them to simply cancel my trial digital account. I'm still out for the duplicate $3.00! They outsource their "customer service" to some far off land, and leave customers literally at this third party's mercy. Your payment will be processed by this third party, and as a result they will make fraudulent charges and refuse to rectify them. You will discover it is impossible to find someone at North Jersey or Gannett to talk to. Never, in all of my life have I experienced such terrible, blatant racketeering. I can only imagine how many elderly they are successfully ripping off through duplicate charges. Avoid them.

★★☆☆☆ Robert Kaznica · Jul 28, 2019

I have to give this app a low score. While I like reading local news I have a hard time getting the right article.I have filed several. Request to customer support but nothing ever changes. I see a headline and click on it only to be taken to a different story. This has been a problem for quite some time. I used to use the app for free but about 6 months ago I bumped up to a paid subscription so now I am not getting what I paid for.might as well just cancel and use news 12
