Renewal Subscription through Apple Does Not Wok
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.
Great coverage
Great coverage of Knox area; events; communities; the arts and the Vols & Lady Vols
Knox News
TOO LIBERAL!!!! Does not reflect how this area feels!!!
Too many ads and too many typos
I’ve been reading the News Sentinel for 60 years. It’s how I always start my day. It has gone downhill a lot in the last few years. Paper delivery got so expensive I had to start reading online. It’s a fair substitute, but on top of the regular ads, I have to endure intrusive pop up ads. They need an editor that actually reads the content. There are lots of typos that make the content at times unreadable. I still read though. It’s better than most of the biased news I see elsewhere.
Great for me
Very well formatted, easy to read
Terrible
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
New app
Love the new app and its features. I miss the old stories when the paper was about Knoxville.
Am I subscribed or not?
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.
Just OK
I don’t understand why this app cannot be identical to the USA Today version. When turning pages, the display should got to the top of the page, not the bottom where I ended on the previous page. I am a paid subscriber, yet I have to endure additional ads at the beginning of the paper, and at the first page of the sports section. Until recently, this was not a problem. The ads appear superimposed on the top of the newspaper page and there is no way to skip them. You have to just wait them out. If it weren’t for the local news, I would cancel and just read USA Today.
Let me being at home
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!
Customer Support
App is horrible if you have any type of issue.
Enjoy the headlines
I enjoy seeing he headlines
Not user friendly
The whole process of entering into the esubscription repeats itself or does not work. After having the subscription for several years I get a notice to,renew.
One of the best newspapers…that provides or covers the home area …. and various interest.
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.
Hate the new format!
This is like reading the news on Yahoo or some other browser on the way to my email. I subscribe to a newspaper to read a newspaper. Please bring back the original newspaper format!
Frustrating app
Seems to be getting worse. You read an article, scroll to go back out to the next article, then it takes you back to the beginning. The more articles you read, the more frustrating it gets. I hope there is a fix for this.
Love reading Knox news online.
Online format is great. Very convenient and obviously very mobile. Well done.
Not again!
Purchased an eNewspaper subscription. Immediately experienced technical issues. I contacted the Customer Service team. To start with, there was a definite language barrier. Secondly, the representative seemed unfamiliar with how to resolve the issue. It’s worth noting that I had similar experiences when I had a subscription back in 2018. After spending 45 minutes on the phone I decided to just cancel my subscription.
Crashes too much
I have tried to open the “paper” several times and am met with a grey screen. The most recent frustration involved opening the “paper” and beginning to read a story only to have the app close the page and reload everything. Major bugs!
Knox news app review
Knox news is great. New app site is the PITTS.
Another Liberal lying rag that always tries to con you into buying their worthless content!
Meaningless stories mostly. Editorials from Mr. Adam’s are inflammatory and don’t unite the sports majority (VOLS).
Great App
Enjoying the way the app reacts
New app terrible
I finding anyway to reach a real person at NS I’ll say that this new app is terrible with pop up ads when I pay for a subscription. Terrible and it jumps around at times with no reason. Now it won’t load the e version and nobody to contact for help
Retired federal employee
It’s always there the first thing in the morning.
Terrible App
Most of the time the app won’t open the eNewspaper. That’s the only reason to use it.
Editing issues
More often than I would like to see, there are editing issues like double words, missing words or correctly, spelled, but wrong words in articles. They should be caught by a human editor and not rely upon “spell check” or automatic editing to find and correct these issues. I find examples of this almost daily.
Poor app
I can’t get to any other section of the paper. This app is nothing but aggravation!
Please keep traditional paper
I love a physical paper but when I am traveling or not at home the epaper is tremendous.
New app
I am sorry but I really hate the new app. I have been a subscriber for many many years both printed and electronic. The ads are very annoying and the stability is horrible. It’s enough to make me switch to another paper if one were available. Sorry…I love the news but hate the app!
