This app used to be good but it keeps getting worse all the time. Things like not being able to scroll if you touch the area of an ad are annoying, but now they have gone too far. It's fine that there are some articles for subscribers only... but when they send out a news alert, but you can't view it unless you subscribe, that is too much. Or they send out alerts on stories that were published hours ago. Etc. This app is no longer a useful source for news. Too bad they ruined it.

The latest update released on March 2, 2022, Version 6.10, hangs on launch and eventually crashes. Behavior seen on multiple devices and with the same update for many of its companion apps for sister publications. So much for the subscription I had just purchased prior to this update... Even before this update, ads frequently hid or obscured content above, below or otherwise near the ads, necessitating creative scrolling in an attempt to reveal the content.

Signed up for a subscription through the app, and my bank records and Google Play both indicate the transaction went through, but still didn't have subscriber access. Tried emailing them and they said they couldn't find my "Detroit News" account - even though my email asked about the issue with my Detroit Free Press account. Subsequent emails went unanswered. Call center support person couldn't find my account despite apparently checking their systems for several minutes. Unsubscribed.
