Nice paper
Well written paper, like the time line on page 2 and sports section is top notch

I did not think I’d like the e-newspaper, but I was wrong. I love having my Freep with me anywhere I go!

I am a huge sports fan. Getting day-old results and stories almost makes my old Free Press another lost childhood memory. I am afraid the paper is trying to kill itself with current publishing policy.
Sad.

Can’t read anything
The app doesn’t allow you to read any articles. Everything needs a subscription, including breaking news, which is free everywhere else.

I like it very much.
Love eNewspaper Layout
I am old school and miss holding, reading and folding a paper newspaper every morning. I love the eNewspaper layout on my iPad because it’s as close to my old morning routine as I can get and the Detroit Free Press offers diverse coverage.
Meh
Too many subscribers only articles - and they don't bother to label all of them, so you think you can read an article only to click on it and it be blocked. Latest update, not a fan

Always the truth whether I like it or not.
Love it, but
I love the on line newspaper and read it 6 days a week. The only thing I don’t like are the ads for the paper that interrupt me when I’m reading it!
Detroit free press
02-03-25 I didn’t assign the one Star Rating I enjoy reading the Free Press, but nothing has changed, it constantly reboots and jumps back to page one; plus I still can’t read the paper waiting in the car. Since the App was update about a month ago, it is constantly updating & constantly taking me to a different page. I have been a scriber to the D F P for over 50 years and started reading it on line when my kids gave me an iPad 5 years ago for my 80th birthday. Up until about a month ago I could read the D F P where there was not a WIFI connection. Now if I try to read it without out a WIFI connection it locks up after about 2 or 3 minutes. I tried changing to the Airplane mode but it still tries to update an I am unable to read it after a few minutes. Any suggestions ? Tom Hacker Sr.

I’m 87 years old - I have sent several Emails saying the cost is now unaffordable - if I don’t get a discount I will cancel my subscription when it comes due this fall

Bad app
Nearly everything posted in this app needs a script to view the article. I can see a few but nearly every article is like this.
Doesn’t work in Europe
Works fine back home in US. Cannot read for more than 30 seconds when in Europe. There’s a Sign In link but it doesn’t work. Very frustrating!
Bad
It stinks ! I have been an avid Free Press reader for many years.
I used to love holding and reading the paper every day.
Even since on line news started, I have still been an everyday reader.
Now, it’s seems the Free Press doesn’t want anyone reading them any longer.
I have never seen an app that blocks out articles more than the Free Press.

The Detroit Free Press APP is easy to use.
As for the news paper itself, I have always enjoyed the informative articles. They keep me up to date on happenings at the local, national and international levels. I have been maintaining a subscription for many years.
Love the Freep
Thorough, thoughtful and fulsome coverage of the news, local and national.
Too many pop up ads
I love the Freep. I delivered the Freep as a kid. I downloaded this app a year ago, looking to enjoy my favorite newspaper. The app is a failure. Every 10 to 60 seconds a FULL PAGE ad will pop up that promotes a different section of the newspaper. You have to click a tiny “x” in the upper right hand corner to hit rid of it. I have had to clear 5-6 of these annoying ads while trying to read an article. It’s like having someone snatch the newspaper out of your hand and scream in your face. There is no way to turn this function off, even though I pay the for the full subscription. There is no “help” or support page to alert the Freep to cut this out. I am now forced to cancel my subscription. This app makes the paper unreadable. What a shame…
