Missing daily letters to editor

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

Hate app

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.

News is good - but need # for customer service

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.

App load times

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

Too many ads ANNOYING paid subscribers

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.

Terms and Conditions?!

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.

Newspaper

Newspaper concise, yet in-depth.

Still a decent newspaper

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

Easy

Glad we have a digital version of the Tennessean

The Tennessean

The news coverage is good. However, the comics are horrible!!!! Why did you change the comics? The comics are not worth reading. Political pressure????

Aggravated

Logging onto the Tennessean app takes me directly to US Today which I rarely read. Following my efforts to access today’s edition of the Tennessean, I received yesterdays edition which of course I read yesterday. Too much time spent trying to locate Saturday’s November 6 edition, I closed the app and read the WSP November 6 edition

Wanted to send this feedback privately…

…but the Send Feedback function was inoperable. I’m a subscriber and pop up ads are constantly interrupting my reading. Most if not all are USA Today, which are entirely ineffective. So please stop, or I will no longer be a subscriber.

Improved

Latest update solved previous issue with print option suddenly switching to online version.

TN

Excellent

Available anywhere every day

Much better than physical version. Always available, never wet or misplaced, reduced trash.

Way too many ads for a paid subscription

Honestly, this could be a good app if they would shrink the ad space. Literally 2/3 of your screen is always a flashing a moving add. It’s obnoxious when you are actually trying to read articles. It cheapens the experience and I think is disrespectful to the authors that work hard to product the content people actually pay to read. I didn’t pay to watch ads, I paid to read your articles.

Tennessean

Just stopped working. What is the issue.

Epaper

I like the option to read the paper online but my biggest complaint is getting access of online. When I have air travel and download the epaper , it’s never available offline to see. Why???

Informative

Wide variety of news local, regional, national and global.

Good information about Nashville

I like easy to navigate eNewspaper and the Nashville area news.
