It’s great to be back!

It’s great to be back reading your fine paper again. I love the world news, sports and editorials. Am engrossed on with the state-wide coverage too.

Soo Sad …

Are used to love reading your paper karma but now that you need a subscription for most everything, I’m pretty much turned off to the newspaper. It’s much easier to go to another website and read all you want for free without being interrupted and trying to pick and choose between the subscription rate. It’s a shame because I think you’re losing so much in customer satisfaction and an advertising due to asking for the money I still read your paper from time to time but it’s dropped off 95%. It’s just not worth the time and effort to filter through to what you can read easily on 100 other websites. Thanks for all the years you’ve given me and I’ve been joyed your paper

Sports Page

I only subscribe to the Detroit News for the sports page. I was raised in Michigan, but now live out of state. This app keeps me up to date.

Just A Mini Freep

I once had both the Free Press and Detroit News apps. I dropped the Freep app years ago because it just became unreadable for anyone other than an extreme left winger. Now the Detroit News is heading that way. I just want to read news. News, not opinion. I like reading opinions in editorials but not pawned off as news. If you’re a liberal, this is the spoon feeding you desire. If you are a moderate or heaven forbid, a conservative....you’ll be sadly disappointed. Manna for lemmings.

Problem app

I have a digital subscription which I have no problem accessing from my laptop but continuing problems accessing through my iPhone app. It frequently stops me from reading subscription stories even though my account is up-to-date. I keep getting a “buy a subscription” message that doesn’t allow me to confirm my existing subscription. Frustrating.

Better national and world news

Sports are great. But when leave sports for other stories I loose interest. See flip as an example of best

Great app

The new DetNews app is a Great way to "keep up to date" on the News throughout the day.
Some of the new changes are good too, but I really don’t like having some of the best stories for “Subscribers only”.
I DO understand the economic realities and the need to be able to make money and not give everything away.

Tigers and Red Wings

As a former Division I Hockey Player at Western Michigan University, and a lifelong Tiger and Red Wing Fan, I feel qualified to add my view. I do enjoy the reporting by The Detroit News of the Red Wings and Tigers. It is knowledgeable, interesting and insightful. With the hiring of Steve Yzerman as GM of the Wings, and the hiring of AJ Hinch as the Tigers manager, his insightful hiring of his coaches. I feel both teams will be markedly better next year.

Enjoy

I really enjoy looking at the Detroit News. Nice easy app. The only downfall is the fact that they have gotten greedy and want subscription fees to read anything of substance.

Fast accurate news

Read first thing in morning and get news updates all day long. Nice!
