### 4/5 — Commercial Appeal

*2026-06-02, version 8.10.2*

Good source for a variety of news including local, national and world news. Not extremely in-depth , but gives a good overview view. It even has the comics and sports-high school , college and professional.

### 5/5 — Rating

*2026-03-20, version 8.9.0*

Good comprehensive writing!

### 1/5 — Poor Opening

*2025-12-24, version 8.6.0*

The app only opens correctly half the time I try to open it. Half the time it spins forever and doesn’t open.

### 2/5 — App hourglassing

*2025-11-28, version 8.6.0*

I read news in the morning. Every time I open the app, the app hour glasses without end. I am about to terminate my subscription.

*2025-11-28, version 8.6.0*

Consistency for printing is off. Can you fix?

### 3/5 — New app

You need to have a way to submit problems you run into with this app, otherwise it is a good app for the paper.

### 5/5 — Love the sports section ! Love the sportswriters !

*2025-06-27, version 8.1.0*

### 5/5 — bartlettcb6397 review

*2025-05-20, version 8.1.0*

I only receive the Commercial Appeal in print on Sunday, due to my schedule and for the crossword puzzles, but read it daily as enewspaper.
I’ve been a subscriber for 50 years, but really enjoy reading the paper on my iPad.
