### 2/5 — Ads obscure text

*2021-05-20*

I think I’d rate this higher if the ads 
Didn’t obscure text from the stories. I haven’t found a way to get rid of the ads and see what was being hidden underneath.  I’m losing pertinent info to the story

### 2/5 — Lazy people

*2020-11-28, version 5.6.0*

How about updating the news on the app. Looking at crap from two months ago after it updates. I would expect that from the leaf chronical, oh wait. No name news sources like this are useless anyway.

### 2/5 — Too many adds.

*2018-02-06*

This is a great app for local news. The issues with crashing from older
reviews have been resolved and I don’t have any trouble with them. I would have given the app a 4 or 5 star rating just a couple of weeks ago but within the last few weeks ads have appeared everywhere. I understand that you need to make money on a free app and ads are acceptable for this. But you’ve crossed the line into disrespect when you’ve replaced a person’s obituary picture with a local realtor’s smiling face. Bad form ClarksvilleNow.

### 2/5 — Ok

*2011-06-06*

Was a good app but now it doesn't open. Needs more headlines for local and military news.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2011-01-03, version 1.2*

For some reason it only has articles regarding stuff going on with Ft.
Campbell... No articles are listed under the local section. Not really worth the download as it would be less of a hassle and gain access to more stories by using safari to go to their page...

### 1/5 — App will not open

*2010-11-21*

Despite multiple attempts at downloading this app it will not open.

### 1/5 — Not much of an app

*2022-12-01*

When you get a notification of a news article, it is NEVER immediately available on the app, it redirects you to a website. That website works about 10% of the time when I try to read the article. They definitely need to fix their website and update they’re articles on the app in a timely manner!

### 1/5 — Keep Your God Out of My Apps

*2021-04-11*

Uninstalled after the addition of “Bible passages”.

### 1/5 — Blank Screen

*2020-08-06, version 5.4.0*

I downloaded this app and all I get is a blank screen!!!  I don’t know what’s going on but if that’s all Im getting then it’s a waste of time.

### 1/5 — Open darnit!!!!

*2013-06-06*

I haven't been able to open the app in almost a month!!!! It used to be a good app most of the time, now it's just annoying.

### 1/5 — Nice Thought

*2013-06-05, version 2.0.2*

App hasn't opened in a month!

### 1/5 — Had such hope

*2013-02-27*

I've never written a review, but had to on this one. I downloaded the app to stay informed about Clarksville since I have no television. I can't even open the app. It always says "Content Loading" and after a minute if this it closes out. Keep trying to open it, but nothing. Will be deleting this app.

### 1/5 — Update this app please!

*2013-02-11*

I can't get the app to open the articles that I select. I have really enjoyed this app until now. The details say its a 4+ app but I only see 1 and 2 star reviews.

### 1/5 — Okay

*2012-03-08*

This app wouldn't be half bad if it wasn't geared towards the happenings of FT Campbell and little of Clarksville. Also thus app crashes about 4 times before you can actually use it. Hey if you want to dedicated an app to Campbell create one

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2011-10-17*

Still crashing with the new version on ios5

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2011-07-21*

It crashes too many times. When it does open up (after four or five times of crashing), it has great content. However, even the content can be upgraded or changed to reflect the current news going on in the city, county or region. I feel the developers created this app and then failed to upkeep with the maintenance. If you're one of the few who have no problems with it, then consider yourself lucky! If not, then you're better off waiting until you can get to a computer to log onto the Leaf Chronicle!!

### 5/5 — New App

*2026-08-18*

I love the new app.

### 5/5 — Clarksville

*2026-08-06*

As a fellow Clarksvillian, I approve

### 5/5 — Much Improved

*2026-07-03*

I’m a DBA/Systems Administrator and I get how these backend systems work and I’ll say the rewrite is instantly noticeable. It shows most in the app opening/rendering and open of articles from notifications. Much better than it was.

Now my only nitpick is that in order to go back, I either have to hit home or the logo — usual action is swiping from the left to go back, that’s a bit more of a usual action.

Overall, much improved!! Let’s go Clarksville!

### 5/5 — The only quality news app for Clarksville TN

*2023-06-07*

Leans left but they try and do their best to be balanced. They partner with Dash10 media so they even have video from serious accidents in town. In a nutshell a good source of local news for the 5th largest town in TN (180k) and 147th largest in the US. We have no major networks here and all is out of Nashville so this is the best we can get.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2019-11-30*

This app really helps me keep up to date with the most current things happening in Clarksville and Montgomery County. If I hear something is happening in our City it’s the first place I go to find out more!

### 5/5 — Thanks

*2018-09-27*

So glad to have this resource! Much more useful than The Leaf-Chronicle.

### 5/5 — Solid

*2014-07-13*

I enjoy the app.

### 5/5 — Got it!

*2010-10-22*

Just downloaded it!

### 3/5 — Glitchy

*2026-06-28*

This app is glitchy. Keeps asking for cookies already accepted, very slow loading

### 3/5 — The ClarksvilleNow.com App

*2020-02-03, version 5.0.4*

On my IOS I NEVER get “Breaking News” not does all the local news show up in my feed.  The actual website has more information accessible.  Date: Sun 02/02/2020
