I enjoy the history on page 2 and the coverage of sports, especially MSU basketball.
Great Source of News
Hard to beat the digital version, but I do miss the paper one. I get this one, though. No reliable delivery persons left!
This online version has the great reporting, politics, sports, columnists…in short, it is the Freep. I’m just glad I could get good input on topics about which I care.

Too Many Horrible Add
As a new paying subscriber, I thought I’d get less ads. Unfortunately, about every 3-4 sentences, I have to scroll through another low quality, repetitive, click-tricking ad. I’m canceling after only a week because the ads are overwhelming. It’s hard to find actual news with all the distraction.
Exceptional coverage
Love my daily dose of info

I like it very much.
Good user experience
The Free Press app has matured to a level that it is very pleasant to use on a smart phone.
I never thought I'd see it, but even an old guy can go beyond paper.

Elrick, Ms PWHoward, Rubin, always make my day!
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!
Miss Local Printing
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.

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
Observer
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!
