The current version refreshes obnoxiously and your place/even specific article gets reset and you have to constantly scrolling to find where you left off.

This app malfunctions all of the time. It frequently crashes when opening the app. You read a top story, then the app freezes and stays frozen on relaunch - no response when tapping the eNewspaper or any other button. Paralyzed. On the occasion the eNewspaper does open, articles are unreadable because there are no spaces between the words, especially in the sports section.

Very frustrating. The app allows access to news stories, BUT try to report a missed paper is impossible! Likewise the telephone number for Free Press sends you to a Medicare Advantage rep and you NEVER get back to report a missed paper. Almost makes me want to cancel!!!

Ads that auto start and cannot be paused even though there is a button for that. Shame on freep. They are unable to correctly mark subscriber only articles. They mark some but most you find out when you click on them. It’s simple so are they after click bait to claim they are read or is it like their research for stories that they just don’t care They have solved the comma splice by just rewriting the rules. Out with the comma, in with the dash Just one sided psa and fear mongering I like the big white screen where an article should be

I enjoy reading the newspaper but I seem to be only able to read it if I am in the U.S. I have reached out twice to customer service/support about this issue and have received no response. When I travel abroad in the future I would like to put a hold on the enewspaper. Why pay for something I can’t access?

The Freep provides depth to issues touching our local community with solid reporting. The format for the delivered news is solid and is easier to read than online App articles. (though I miss the larger print copy). Iusw the App daily as print is not available. The App seem a to have too many ad interruptions and non-relavant as content. I may need switch to reading the appbprivided “print” version. Which has seemed difficult in the small screen.

App works well, but autoplay ads with sound are becoming a big problem that’s preventing me from reading in some public places. Really need a way to automute.

It’s not even the visual aspect of this. It I wanted audio from an advertisement when I’m trying to read the news, I’d play YouTube in the background. Get rid of auto-playing advertisements in the middle of articles!!!

Do not like how you treat word puzzles back to back on Sunday and too long articles on old news stories!
