Knoxville News for Negative User Reviews

✓ Decent local newsDecent source for some quick local news..NobaduVersion: 5.16.1

✓ Another day unable to read our paper!We have struggled with this ap for several months. Now once again, it keeps locking up every few minutes. No other app is this hard to navigate! Hate it!.Newspaper lover app haterVersion: 5.21.3

✓ Ads auto run videos - terrible!This app was my go to for local news. The recent change of auto running videos has pushed me to use the local tv station apps for news. You killed a good app! Why am I paying for this!!!!!.HuffzooVersion: 5.3.1

✓ A subscriber and unable to access subscriber contentI’m a paying subscriber and cannot get an explanation as to why “subscriber content” is unavailable to me. Each time I call for customer support, they are unable to explain why. Therefore, a 1 star for this app..Drunkin'SwmerVersion: 6.8.1

✓ Opting out of tracking and targeted adsIs not available to be changed anywhere within the app. I went to the website and was greeted with a huge mess. Go to this website to do this. Download the app choices app… Go to opt-out tool… blah blah. Ridiculous. This is clearly done to make it so people cannot easily say NO. Do the right thing. Please. Allow us to block ads and targeting. Otherwise, I’ll be a subscriber and reader you lose. More importantly, Southerners value their space and privacy. You violate that by not allowing us to opt out in the app and on the news website..FurrawnVersion: 6.5.8

✓ Orientation is locked to portrait in enewspaperLandscape was especially useful for reading comics. Swiping to change pages is not always responsive. Not all pages are available from the sections display. For readers of the e-edition, this app is worse than the older e-edition app; fewer options, more difficult navigation. I will probably uninstall this and return to the old app..CSAnglicanVersion: 7.0.4

✓ You’re subscribing to ads more than newsI am a paid subscriber. I tried to scroll through the headlines and was harassed by the same ad THIRTY-FIVE TIMES! The ad continuously repositions itself and impacts the scrolling function within the user interface. It is so obnoxious that I’m not sure it’s worth it to try to read the news. I would encourage prospective subscribers to look elsewhere for a news source that has a more reasonable ad policy..JCintheNCVersion: 6.12.5

✓ Low quality and questionable ethical practicesApp is subscription based yet riddled with ads. Worst part, subscription auto renews with the only cancellation method available being a phone call.PshedVersion: 6.5.8

✓ Nothing but adsThis app has become useless. Every story you click on is ad after ad. Been a newspaper subscriber 30 plus years. Ad after ad. Update 6/9/20- critical Covid 19 info for subscribers only. Greed shows over public well being..Thrty2CharlieVersion: 5.24.3

✓ Keeps blocking me from articles asking me to subscribe ?I’m a paid subscriber. Can’t read most of the papers articles because block pops up asking me to subscribe. I sent in email asking for help.. no response. I can’t find way to fix problem. Content is good if you could actually read it. I hope someone reads this and tries to contact me to resolve issue before I cancel..Cotton LBVersion: 6.5.9

✓ Disappointing, complex. No joy.Logging in was ridiculously difficult. Password manager did not work with this site. The app kept taking me back to the same sign in page. Once logged in, could not find my way to a previous edition of Knoxville news Sentinel. If you’re planning to go mostly to an E edition format, you must clean up this app..FghjuyrsgjVersion: 5.25.1

✓ Can’t save articlesSince subscribing and downloading this app, I am not able to save any of the articles. Each time I click on the “save” ribbon/tab, the app closes. Please fix..Tn2goVersion: 6.2.0

✓ Lots of ads. Not much news.I guess what we get for a paid subscription is a ton of ads and very little news. This is the news wasteland we live in now..Financeguy66Version: 6.10.0

✓ ReviewI used to think the NS hired college sophomores as writers. I was wrong. More like high school sophomores. Terrible. Just look at a digital front page article today on a UT football player’s arrest. What is the purpose of the story? It is impossible to follow the logic of the article. This is typical. I find myself having to re-read NS articles to understand what the “reporter” is saying, the point of the article. Greg Conner Knoxville.4doggerVersion: 5.21.3

✓ Pop ups!Just stop with the pop ups! If I want to r ad an article, I will select it! Trying to read one and THREE pop ups interrupted! Maddening! Also the “select topics” section (which I’ve done) won’t allow you to remove it—the “x” at the upper right is non-functional. Pretty clunky app given it’s 2023!.Rubi-RichVersion: 7.0.4

✓ Subscriber who can’t read content for subscribers?After logging into account, I am unable to read subscriber only content. Really?.PulpVincentFictionVersion: 6.5.9

✓ FrustratingHave subscription and account shows as logged in but try to read an article and get message to ‘subscribe’..Kboy momVersion: 5.25.1

✓ This is a newspaper??!This is a terrible representation of a newspaper. Really a mockery, as it is filled with a singular track of liberal programming. I am a centrist who leans toward a libertarian belief and this rag just leaves me wanting. PLEASE… cancel my subscription. Keep the money, my sanity deserves better..Journeyman.tnVersion: 6.8.1

✓ Can’t find stop paper sectionTakes too long to stop paper when going on vacation..ShepleyRIVersion: 6.10.0

✓ Stop it with the injection of sign upsI can’t get through an single article, that I pay you to present, without such Annoying ads and signup questions. Do yo want to sign up for , this, that and the other…. STOP!!!!! I’m canceling the subscription in one month if you don’t fix it. I’ve turned off everything in the app and it continues…..SdkjackVersion: 6.12.5

✓ Worst news appThis app is super annoying. As you scroll down the available sports related articles to get to the other stories, the app scrolls right back up to the top and you have to start over again, and again, and again. Let’s not forget the pop up ads that are every three or four articles and never go away. If you’re interested in the attractive singles in your area, the top attorneys, or information on purchasing unused vehicles that are being sold super cheap by the government, then this is the app for you..Chelsea's mom klynnVersion: 7.0.4

✓ Help!My Mom has this app so it’s on my phone with Family Sharing. I am paying the subscription and she can not read anything. The VPN message has taken over. I can not get a message to the developer and can’t even cancel the subscription. I’m tired of paying every month for something that is useless!!!!!!.HarpnpipesVersion: 5.22.2

✓ Doesn’t always recognize meI’ve subscribed to the KNS for years, yet this app sometimes doesn’t let me log in automatically..Mr. BrownVersion: 7.0.4

✓ TerribleAfter subscribing to the news paper, they still bombard you with ads. Even worse, if you accidentally click on a video, an ad launches that you cannot close until it finishes. You can’t get back to the newspaper without force-closing the app. It’s difficult to support local news with apps like this..Jake006Version: 6.5.9

✓ IOS 14 made the app not workSince downloading ios14, the app no longer works on either my iPhone X or my iPad Pro. Not sure if there is a patch coming. I still get the alerts, but if I click on one of them, the app opens, spins and then closes immediately. PLEASE HELP!!!!.AbnVolVersion: 5.25.1
