Detroit Free Press: Freep 12+

I normally will not read newspapers on line, but the Free Press app is really easy to read and find what section you want. This is the best newspaper app that I have and I definitely will keep reading it! My complaint I'm now having is that the advice column is terrible - sometimes there aren't any new questions for days - my Oakland Press has new ones daily in Dear Abby....sigh! Line Dancing Grandma The advice columns aren't any better....they disappear for days - what happens?. I just changed the number of review stars to one...why, because again and again columns are disappearing, especially the advice columns!! I will close the app if this doesn’t clear up. This has gone on for days - I have been a Free Press reader for years and really like this app since we go to Florida. This app is getting worse and worse! Is there a reason why certain sections are not updated daily! I will no longer recommend this app to my snowbird friends from the Detroit area - please do not ask me to rate this app again unless you’ve fixed this problem! Now I can’t even read the regular sections! There’s a title, but when I click on it, there’s a blank screen with black photo squares. This is a horrible app and I’m going! to need to cancel it! This is happening again - HELP!

Thoroughly enjoy using the app and having access to great content. However since the last update I’ve been experiencing an issue. If I’m in the middle of an article and my phone lock screen comes on (e.g. if I don’t touch the screen for a certain amount of time), when I swipe back in the article automatically returns to the beginning/top of the page. Very annoying for longer articles having to go back through and find my place. Please fix!

This app is easy to use and I’m grateful to have a local paper that I can subscribe to! Unfortunately the Detroit free press uses the heading “Breaking News” a little too leniently. It actually seems that they use it only to share sports news. Breaking news is not sports. Breaking news is active shooters in our area, or updates on US war relations with other countries or literally anything other than what’s happening between two teams. I’m afraid to turn off notifications for breaking news because what if something actually important happens locally or in the world? Because of this, I get basically 2-10 breaking news updates a day about the lions. Now, I care about the lions! I want to see them win! But I don’t need multiple breaking news updates about them. I think the free press is straying away from journalistic integrity by doing this and I would be forever grateful to the editor or person in control of app notifications if they could reign this in. Please, I beg you, use the breaking news headline for actual breaking news.
