*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.

### 2/5 — App hourglassing

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.

Consistency for printing is off. Can you fix?

### 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.

### 1/5 — ca

*2025-04-12, version 7.11.2*

Difficult to maneuver

### 1/5 — New app

*2024-08-08, version 7.11.2*

Your idea of this new app format is really bad. Harder to navigate!!! You need to get new people to replace those that thought this new app was better than the old one. Change is not always called for

### 1/5 — E newspaper is worthless!

*2024-07-24, version 7.11.1*

Glitchy software, slow responsiveness, screen freezes, frequent reloads, etc. totally unusable, bad customer experience.

### 1/5 — Awful!

*2023-06-11, version 7.1.1*

The content is this app is often dated and irrelevant. The "Top Story" in this morning's Memphis Commercial Appeal app was regarding the economy in Columbia, Tn - near Nashville .....amazing

### 1/5 — Makes your login all the time

*2023-02-12, version 7.0.3*

Commercial appeal has treated it’s subscription access like you’re trying to break into the defense system of a pentagon

### 1/5 — Impossible to log in

*2023-02-05, version 7.0.3*

It’s impossible to log in. Every time I try, I get an error message about Java. It happens when I try to use safari too. Complete garbage.

### 1/5 — BR2

*2022-08-01, version 6.12.5*

Horrible. Never remembers I’m a subscriber; won’t remember right after I log in; and hitting “restore purchase “ is useless. Doesn’t help to call for help. Totally worthless.

### 1/5 — Commercial Appeal

*2022-06-30, version 6.12.3*

How do I cancel this?

### 1/5 — Commercial appeal

*2022-05-10, version 6.10.0*

Can’t get much out of it due to all the ads you have to endure.

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

*2025-06-27, version 8.1.0*

Grizzlies information is my main reason for going digital.  Enjoy my subscription in keeping up with the city and region too !

### 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.

### 5/5 — Tiger Basketball (and football)

*2025-03-26, version 8.1.0*

I’m an avid fan of the University of Memphis and greatly appreciate Jason Munz’s Tiger Basketball test messages as well as his and Jonas podcast!  Jason provides exceptional updates and outstanding pre- and game time information in all facets of the game!  The podcasts are also informative (except when they digress to Wrestling!).

### 5/5 — Cumbersome app

*2023-11-20, version 7.3.2*

I have used many news and current event apps and this has to be the least intuitive one I’ve ever used.  It is very difficult to navigate and next to impossible to find some information. I would give it 0 stars if I could.

### 5/5 — Always a Memphis Fan!

*2023-09-01, version 7.1.2*

My husband and I lived in Memphis for most of our fifty year marriage. He was a United Methodist Minister so from time to time he was pastor in other parts of Western Tennessee and Western Kentucky. 
     Wherever we lived (outside of Shelby County), we alway kept informed via the Commercial Appeal!!  We never missed Memphis Sports, especially Tiger Basketball!  While living in Paducah, Kentucky we often drove to an area where we could hear the basketball or football game on our car radio.  I am still a Memphian and a Tiger. 
      Thank you, Commercial Appeal, for always keeping me informed about new developments in Memphis. I am excited to 
see the new Tom Lee Park and all the new
development coming.

### 5/5 — Tiger Fan

*2022-09-25, version 6.12.5*

I left Memphis 28 years ago. I have read the Commercial Appeal since I was 10 years old. I love Memphis and everything (almost) about it. Thank you Commercial Appeal for allowing me the opportunity to stay connected.
