### 5/5 — Newspaper

*2026-07-21, version 8.10.2*

Easy to navigate and read

### 5/5 — Great for me

*2026-07-21, version 8.10.2*

Very well formatted, easy to read

### 1/5 — Renewal Subscription through Apple Does Not Wok

*2026-06-02, version 8.10.2*

As others have said, If your membership lapse and you got to renew it via Apple’s Subscription function. It will charge you but not actually give you access to Knox News. Knox News can’t see who’s joined via Apple. It’s a real cluster and Knox News can’t honor same price as app even if you buy through website. Also $149 via the website but only $69.99 via the app for a one year subscription!?! That’s a 112% markup for the same product. Shame on you Gannett.

### 5/5 — Let me being at home

*2026-04-12, version 8.9.0*

I now live in Iowa, but my mind never strays far away from Knoxville. Having the Knox News allows me to always be at my real home. Thank you!

### 2/5 — Knox News

*2026-03-20, version 8.9.0*

TOO LIBERAL!!!! Does not reflect how this area feels!!!

### 5/5 — One of the best newspapers…that provides or covers the home area …. and various interest.

*2026-03-19, version 8.9.0*

Keep doing what you’re doing … because the paper provides news on  many  aspects both local & nationally.  Particularly I enjoy reading what’s happening locally, educational happenings & sports (both college & high schools).  The paper shows a balance in the local & national news.  I just enjoy reading this newspaper mainly because it hasn’t forgotten the local folks & how their stories are so impactful not only locally but nationally.  Finally the sports section is so well covered!!  My impression is this newspaper just gives the facts which inspires  one’s desire to pick up & read.

### 5/5 — Love reading Knox news online.

*2026-02-12, version 8.6.0*

Online format is great. Very convenient and obviously very mobile. Well done.

### 2/5 — Am I subscribed or not?

*2026-02-04, version 8.6.0*

I tried to sign in this morning. Had to reset my password, then found out my subscription had lapsed. Updated my subscription and identified my priority topics—still problems with my password but finally solved that. Invited to download the app and did— entered my password yet again. Now I’m in the app and it keeps popping up asking me if I want to subscribe. What does it take exactly to read your newspaper. I wanted to read an article, not start an epic journey.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-01-21, version 8.6.0*

Once again trying to sign in after renewing showed I was not a subscriber.  I use my Apple iPhone to reactivate but to no avail

### 5/5 — Knox news app review

*2026-01-16, version 8.6.0*

Knox news is great. New app site is the PITTS.
