### 5/5 — Good coverage of news

*2025-05-02*

I’ve been following The Canadian Press beginning during an era before the internet. It’s a tremendously valuable resource.

### 5/5 — Journalism at its best

*2025-01-10*

Informative, quality fact checking information. Thank you Canadian Press for your dedication and integrity.

### 3/5 — Paywall articles

*2024-12-11*

Please indicate them with a “$” in the lead.

### 1/5 — VERY LITTLE FREE NEWS WITH INTRUSIVE ADS

*2024-06-19*

Good luck finding free news with this app.  Every publication you click is greyed out, I’d say over 97% of the news is not free.  Very disappointing and the ads are intrusive and have a wait time.  

When an ugly ad pops up I just shut down the app completely.

### 1/5 — oops

*2024-05-06*

Cannot believe this has over 4 stars.
If I could give it no stars I would, terribly boring and pop up ads ..like every other Canadian news app.

### 1/5 — No news only advertising

*2023-10-03*

It doesn't work

### 2/5 — Not organized

*2023-04-19*

This website, unlike that of the Globe and Mail, does not appear to be organized in any meaningful way. It runs off in all directions and suffers from being cluttered. The news is presented on several different pages of our receiving tech equipment. I have been tempted on several occasions to cancel the service and still may do so.

### 1/5 — Canada Press

*2023-02-18*

I used to love Canada Free Press. But something changed and now I am not getting any good articles.

### 5/5 — All the News

*2022-05-30*

Canadian Press is a great collection of Canadian news sources in one place. The best way to keep abreast of what's happening in Canada.

### 2/5 — Publicité agressive.

*2022-02-04*

Je suis déçue de cette application. On nous impose à pleine page de la publicité non sollicitée, vulgaire et avec le son à tue-tête, de façon à être bien certain qu’on ne la ratera pas. Ai-je envie de voir des filles en bikini qui dansent sur une plage?  Au cas où vous ne le sauriez pas, on est en 2022, et cette façon de faire est sexiste et dépassée.
