Suggestion: Stay on page

When I switch from this app to another and come back, it would be great if I could just come back to the story/page I was on, instead of back to the home page every time and have to navigate to the story again.

Always a Memphis Fan!

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. Barbara Moorehead

Cumbersome app

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.

Tiger Fan

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.

Impossible to log in

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. “ It appears you have privacy settings enabled to prevent the execution of some JavaScript on this site. Our site will not function properly without Javascript enabled.

trying to cancel subscription

Like many long time subscribers, I am canceling my subscription to the CA - if I can ever reach anyone in Customer Service. The quality of the paper has gone down since Gannett took over, and now there are other local options for better news reporting - The Daily Memphian which is new and the Memphis Flyer and local business journals which have been around a longer time.

Journalists and photographers A1+

To know how to write a story is one thing. But, to make the story readable and enjoyable (about some subjects) takes a special skill. Majority of CA reporters and photographers have this special talent. Of course, news articles about fatalities, murders, so forth can be presented only one way.

Back Yard Burger Ad kills the ap

I read the CA and Tennessean on my IPhone. For the last two weeks or so, the Back Yard Burger advertisement has been popping up and won’t allow the user to scroll away or close the ap. It’s the most intrusive advertising I’ve experienced. If it’s not fixed soon, I’m going to cancel my subscription. I’ve already sent an email to the designer, but didn’t get a response. In its current status the ap is useless and a waste of money.

Should have known -No Stars

Called automated number to place a vacation hold. Got all the way through, and it said technical issue, call during business hours. So downloaded app. After waiting an hour for password reset email, and resetting password, trying to activate account says “already associated with account”...but can’t get to anything. The solution? Call customer service or email. Oh, during business hours, of course. Pathetic.

Commercial Appeal Ap is terrible!

Let print subscription expire as local content diminished and digital became preferable. However, Ap kept crashing, kept having to call in, so let it go. Now tried to give it another chance through an into-rate via Apple, same problems, Ap keeps kicking me out! CA help deskCould not help me before, and now this time say it’s an Apple issue but it’s still their Ap!

My Hometown Paper

I have been gone from Memphis for 30 years. It is still my hometown and the CA keeps me in the look as I look forward to retiring there. Good work

Works great for reading my local newspaper

The app has worked great for me in getting headlines emailed that I can click on to read in the app.

Really enjoying my CA. App

I live in Africa most of my time and really enjoy being able to stay in touch with my home town area Memphis, TN. Thank you Commercial Appeal and the online staff.

Great app

I grow up on the Commercial Appeal, reading this newspaper every morning. Now, I have all this news at my fingertips.

Online version

Small town paper. Nothing new so same articles and contributor pieces are posted online for up to two weeks. Shallow reporting rarely answers basic fact gathering. Not many uses of links that would provide greater backstory. Some Okay coverage of state-wide issues because of the ties with Gannett and USA Today network.

SHOULD BE 5 STARS, B UT‼️

Have been a subscriber for many many years to the delivered paper copy, NEVERTHELESS, they don’t want me to be able to see their online apps, until I subscribe‼️‼️ 2 calls to customer service, and they still haven’t been able to strengthen it out❗️

Love the commercial Appeal

It is easy to navigate and the content keeps me up to date!

Great coverage!

I still enjoy the CA. They manage to cover national news while still maintaining a local paper feel.

Horrible

After spending 12 minutes on the line with customer service. Uninstalling/reinstalling/changing passwords/logging in online vs the app/finally the rep says they are doing updates and to use the online site for the next 24 hours.

The Commercial Appeal gets it done!

The Commercial Appeal has timely information on a daily basis. It thoroughly covers Memphis, National and World News and Sports!

Upgrades a welcome addition

Recent upgrades make the app much more user friendly

7 years ago, Missing the old paper

Needs more

With USA Today ownership, this no longer seems like a local paper. There is not much content for a paper in a city this size. Most articles are very bias. I still read because it’s the only source with some local content available.

Ads

Just disappointed that with a paid subscription, one is still inundated with ad after ad. Senseless but I guess not priceless. Ad free option would help. Otherwise I like the product.

Up to date news

I love that I can get up to date news notifications. Great app!

Used to Enjoy...

For the past several weeks this app has been crashing like it’s competing in a demolition derby. And no response at all to the emails sent requesting help or explanations. Not even a “Thanks for your inquiry but we’re too busy and under-staffed to do anything but process your monthly payment.”

Harder to use dice update

Can’t figure out how to log in with existing account. I’ve been a subscriber for years but this recent update has been a problem. Customer service is hard to get on the phone.

Missing Section

I am going. To cancel the paper, after being a faithful subscriber for over 50 years. Each week-at least once, a section of my paper is missing. It is usually on a Tuesday but not always. The comics are in that part, as are the latest food news, etc. I lived in a rural commmunity and receive my paper by mail. I have called local P.O. , The Commmercial office, and spoken with my mail carrier...all to no avail. I looked forward to that paper so much! Now I just fume, wondering if today is “missing section day?” Martha Cook Oxford,MS

The worst news App available. Use the website this thing is awful. Advertisements pop up and besides the usual cheap shot miss-click tricks; sometimes it opens up modal and hijacks your session. Love my hometown paper but someone over there needs to make better technology decisions. Just bad.

Memphis basketball news

In the current article, they could have provided the date the Tigers would play in their next NIT game and what TV Channel would carry the game.

Just as bad as the paper

I’ve tried for 2 days to log into my account to ask for delivery of a paper that never came. It welcomes me by name but when I tap my account, it just continues to ask for my login and password. A waste of time to try using the app!

Terrible

I’ve been a subscriber for years, but this app keeps asking me to sign in again and again. Then when I’m trying to sign back in, the wheel spins and spins before I can get signed back in. If y’all don’t get this app fixed I’m going to drop my subscription.

Love getting local updates on what’s going on in Memphis.

New app

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

4 years ago, htfogle

It’s impossible to sign in or get immediate help. Having a delivery subscription and digital does little good. I am getting fed up and ready to cancel if things do not improve!!!

Paper of record for Memphis.

3 years ago, will not even let me review

Worst experience ever with the app

Spend more time with logging in and stories loading in than being able to read anything. I HATE it.

Poor access and slow response

Access is difficult and inconsistent. Support is hard find

Commercial Appeal

I wish I could view the paper as if I was looking at the print edition. In other words, a screen shot of each page.

Makes your login all the time

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

Back yard burger issue

What’s the deal with this pop up blocking the ability to read articles or scroll to other articles? I am deleting the app as it has become unusable.

E newspaper is worthless!

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

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.

Print edition

It is almost impossible to find the print edition. Why isn’t there a link from the main page?
