Rating
Good comprehensive writing!
Poor Opening
The app only opens correctly half the time I try to open it. Half the time it spins forever and doesn’t open.
Commercial Appeal
Good source for a variety of news including local, national and world news. Not extremely in-depth , but gives a good overview view. It even has the comics and sports-high school , college and professional.
App hourglassing
I read news in the morning. Every time I open the app, the app hour glasses without end. I am about to terminate my subscription.
Print capabilities
Consistency for printing is off. Can you fix?
Love the sports section ! Love the sportswriters !
Grizzlies information is my main reason for going digital. Enjoy my subscription in keeping up with the city and region too !

Difficult to maneuver
Great app
Easy to use. Loads and resolves quickly.
Cannot print from the app
I was printing the crossword in the enewspaper but the latest app will not allow that.
New app
You need to have a way to submit problems you run into with this app, otherwise it is a good app for the paper.
bartlettcb6397 review
I only receive the Commercial Appeal in print on Sunday, due to my schedule and for the crossword puzzles, but read it daily as enewspaper. I’ve been a subscriber for 50 years, but really enjoy reading the paper on my iPad.
E newspaper is worthless!
Glitchy software, slow responsiveness, screen freezes, frequent reloads, etc. totally unusable, bad customer experience.
Enjoy

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.
Tiger Basketball (and football)
I’m an avid fan of the University of Memphis and greatly appreciate Jason Munz’s Tiger Basketball test messages as well as his and Jonas podcast! Jason provides exceptional updates and outstanding pre- and game time information in all facets of the game! The podcasts are also informative (except when they digress to Wrestling!).
Awful!
The content is this app is often dated and irrelevant. The "Top Story" in this morning's Memphis Commercial Appeal app was regarding the economy in Columbia, Tn - near Nashville .....amazing
Memphis ca
I love Memphis comerapil Appel Because when I use live in Memphis Tennessee I use read the comerpel Appel every day the best Memphis newspaper in world ok everybody in Memphis Tennessee
Sign In
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!!!
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.
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
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
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.

Old School Great
Paper of record for Memphis.
BR2
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.
Good Stuff
for a newspaper

How do I cancel this?
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.
