### 2/5 — Hard to find comics or other specific areas

*2026-08-19, version 8.11.0*

So how to identify and jump to the view that is not digital?  How do I find comics?  Where is a search feature? How do i see obituaries? By dates, when I don’t know who died?

### 4/5 — Missing daily letters to editor

*2026-07-22, version 8.10.2*

When you publish letters on a daily basis, it feels in the gaps that the reporters have missed

### 5/5 — Hate app

*2026-05-05, version 8.9.0*

I read the paper to track the baseball standings and I can’t read them with this new app. After 40 years as a subscriber you have modernized right past me. I will stop my subscription ASAP.

### 5/5 — News is good - but need   for customer service

*2026-04-20, version 8.9.0*

I need to temporarily stop delivery of the paper. This app does not provide info on how to do that. I even searched in Google (shouldn’t have had to do that) - it’s very difficult to find correct # to call. Google listed # from 2015 that is no longer in service. Please add info on App for people who rely on both the App and daily delivery. Delivery customers have been abandoned.

### 2/5 — App load times

*2026-04-08, version 8.9.0*

While the app home page loads quickly, the eNewspaper tab loads very slowly.  Sometimes it will fail to load at all.

### 1/5 — Too many ads ANNOYING paid subscribers

*2026-04-01, version 8.9.0*

I am a current subscriber and a long-term reader of the Tennessean newspaper. When the paper version became unpredictable in its physical delivery, I switched to the Tennessean e-newspaper on the iPad. Now, even though I read the iPad e-newspaper version daily, I am constantly bombarded with distracting electronic META-style advertisements that encourages me to become a subscriber. In addition, I receive other distracting electronic META-Style advertisements while I’m attempting to read the e-newspaper. 
NOTE TO THE TENNESSEAN NEWSPAPER. I AM ALREADY A SUBSCRIBER! I already review the advertisements in the e-paper version of your ‘eNewspaper.’ As a PAID SUBSCRIBER I do not need—and should not be subjected to—further distracting electronic advertisements.

### 1/5 — Terms and Conditions?!

*2026-02-20, version 8.8.0*

Absolutely not. To sign up for a “Tennessean/USA Today” account is nationalist technofascism at its finest. First you have to agree to being a legal US resident (to read the paper?), then agree to be tracked, share your information with 3rd parties on the videos you watch, and sign away your first born. No thanks.

### 5/5 — Newspaper

*2026-02-08, version 8.6.0*

Newspaper concise, yet in-depth.

### 5/5 — Still a decent newspaper

*2026-01-15, version 8.6.0*

It’s much better than the Tennessean’s website, which is mostly country music blurbs and entertainment news.

### 4/5 — Easy

*2026-01-14, version 8.6.0*

Glad we have a digital version of the Tennessean
