The Tennessean: Nashville News Reviews

I need to temporarily stop delivery of the paper. TheTennessean 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 TheTennessean and daily delivery. Delivery customers have been abandoned.

Starts with having a good paper to begin with. This is not such a common thing anymore for a lot of cities. TheTennessean makes finding older stories easy and all sections are accessible. Good format very readable. I'm on an intro special but I will most likely stay on at full price. A lot more useful local info than can be found from other online sources.

I really like the Tennessean and it’s app. I kept a star for how the ads appear. I realize ads are just part of the news now, but theirs are really large, and look too much like the news links which makes it look a bit visually confusing.

I've been a loyal subscriber to this paper for many, many years. Have used the Print Edition app for the last several years. Lately, TheTennessean has all but quit working. The newspaper loads, and as soon as you click on an article to read it, TheTennessean shuts down. I haven't been able to make it through a complete edition for the last few days, and I've had it. And trying to reach a human at the Tennessean to talk about it is pretty much impossible. I don't recommend TheTennessean as a method of keeping up with any kind of news.

TheTennessean is great except for the constant notifications about sports. I turned off sports notifications, yet constantly get them because I have "breaking" notifications turned on. Some of the things in breaking are important and I don't want to miss them, but it's frustrating to constantly get updates about the titans. The titans are nothing to me except a huge traffic inconvenience on Sunday. A first down does not carry the same importance as a shooting!

After a year of living in Tennessee, we finally subscribed. We are so glad we did. The reporting is helping us know and understand our new region better. It’s been an excellent reminder that print journalism offers the most informative and unbiased news around.

...and just what you'd expect out of Gannett. TheTennessean fails at the one thing a news app should do ... auto-update and deliver news. Other than Top Stories (and what makes them Top Stories? Timeliness? Number of times the story's been read?) none of the other news feeds update regularly. Weather stories from June still appear.

Reflective of Gannett's slipshod approach to local journalism in general. At this point, the only reason I still subscribe is for the Sunday crossword and because subscriber loss is what leads to reporters losing their jobs and the paper getting worse.

I’ve really kept on top of it thanks to the Tennessean.. my daughter lives there in Nashville, and your paper being on top of events , feels like I have A relative checking in on her and reporting back to me!
I love the regular alerts, both good and bad news..even weather these days. Tennessean covers all of it for me Way down here in
Florida! Thank you!

Clean app. I’ve used local paper apps before and have been disappointed by the layout and features. Not this one. Easy to use. Easy to manage notifications. I’m thankful to be able to get headlines I care about but not be bombarded.

On my desktop Mac I had no problems, but on my iphone the login page won’t ever finish loading, or loads but then immediately goes blank. This is even with all content blockers turned off and cross-site tracking allowed. Looks like maybe someone at The Tennessean really wants to play hardball against users who might use any kind of privacy settings at all…seems like a very hostile, self-defeating approach to running a business 🤦‍♂️

Tennessean has some of the better inside stories about local issues as well as national and international news has in-depth Information when it comes to investigation

When I try to view some articles, app gives me warning that I only have 4 articles left to. It’s this month. For an additional 90 cents a month I can have more access. About feed up with this message and the Tennessean! I rarely use app, not worth the stress of having a warning box popping in to block over half the screen of what I am reading. Seriously considering dropping this service,

I enjoy Titans coverage as well as sports coverage of UT (my alma mater.) I also like national news and sports. I have little interest in local Nashville news as I am not local to that area but overall I enjoy The Tennessean.

After living in Virginia since 1983 I rely in the Tennessean to keep me up to date on what is going on in my home state. I really enjoy the high school sports updates the most as I like to stay up to date on TSSAA football and girl’s basketball!

I’m digitally subscribed to over a dozen newspapers/magazines/etc and this is one of the few where their app is preferable to just using the mobile website. No real complaints.

The info is mostly here, but it strikes me as a site without order. The layout seems sterile. I look forward to getting the print edition or reading it online. This to me lacks depth. Maybe if the articles followed the same order as an actual daily.

You can signup online for a promotional subscription but you cannot turn off auto-renewal or delete your credit card number once the Tennessean has it on file. You will have to spends lots of time on the phone on hold in the weeks prior to the auto-renewal date trying to request a cancellation

I like my newspaper on a section by section, page by page, all the news that appears in print basis. I love sports and miss the stats portion of the sports news. I enjoy the orderliness of the articles, item by item. I like not having to search for the articles I am interested in, switching from section to section. I have an allergy to newsprint, so online is my only option.

This is easy to navigate and gives you options and categories to browse. It lets you clear the cache too.

The Tennessean is not much of a “newspaper” anymore. Half of the newspaper is ads with way too many full page ads. Would love to see some world news included in the paper. This paper also needs to be bipartisan since it is the only newspaper in the area. It’s sad when you only get the paper once a week for the crossword puzzle, sale fliers and coupons. Won’t be renewing our subscription.

I enjoy the digital news. Updated all day, so when I want the latest news or sports, this is where I go!
Criticism, sports articles always have pictures included that are totally unrelated to the article? Are you advertising the other articles?

I find the journalism in the Tennessean to be well balanced and informative. A great way to keep with Nashville and regional news on the go.

The notification filters are awful. If I want sports notifications I would turn on the sports notifications. I just want breaking news. Since when is experiencing the first half in pictures of a sports game or ways to watch said game considered “breaking news”? The Predators in the playoffs could be considered breaking news, but not 50 notifications about regular season Vols, Vandy or Titans games. Seriously...

At app is okay, navigation is sloppy, but the biggest issue I have is it’s lack of customization. I dont care to receive notifications about high school football, but I want to hear about other sports (college and pro). I don’t care about the power being out in an area 3 hours from my house, only my county. Please fix.

I have an active digital subscription, but TheTennessean constantly logs me out. I can't stay logged in no matter what I try. Half the time it won't accept my login credentials at all - I enter them, and the empty login fields just reappear. Not even an error message. So I use the web site exclusively. TheTennessean is useless until this gets fixed, which I imagine will be the day after never.

Love getting the Tennessean.
BUT HATE their politics .

To bad there can’t be a newspaper
that would put local news on the
first pages. Then have two totally
different USA sections,... one by
democratic writers and one by
republican writers. Then the sport
section and classifies. You could be the first.

Regain a huge subscription base by giving everyone an opportunity to select
the reporting that would best suit them and throw away what doesn’t!! Even
better, read both in hopes of getting a better understanding of each other’s thoughts. I’d sure love it.

TheTennessean baits you with a news headline but when you select a story, it only displays the first line or two. They make you pay to read the full article. It's suspicious that all of these reviews are full of glowing praise without mentioning that. I would hope that The Tennessean wouldn't stoop so low as to leave fake reviews to outnumber the honest ones.

The Tennessean has been such an incredible resource for staying up to date on the social and political happenings here in Nashville and all around the state. Definitely worth subscribing!
