## Detroit Free Press Reviews in Canada

### ***** "detroit free press"
National and local news very well covered. The sports section is excellent. I look forward to it every day. Yes.
-- Tigerfan67, 2025-12-08

### ***** "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.

### ***** "First for news that matters to Detroit"
Best local news, best state news, best sports pages.

### *---- "Weak at best"
Same old dumbed down media coverage.  Give me one person on your staff that actually has an original opinion and I’ll start listening. Right now your a sports only site that is weak at best.  Where the hell is Mike Valente???  Where’s that kind of voice that is willing to step out and go against the grain???  You don’t have one!!  You’re all trolls going along with main stream media to keep feeding the weak minded.  Thank god I can still read local sports.

### ****- "Great!"
I find it very informative. I like to keep up on what is happening all over the world & this paper is just as good as the other papers in the U.S. There's also info on the "Auto Makers" & I like to keep informed on that.
-- SWEET LITTLE ROCK 'N' ROLLER, 2016-01-16

### *---- "Horrible"
Tricked into downloading this app as it was advertised as the official app for the Detroit Marathon to track runners.  You can't even track runners with it and it only loads half the screen.  Deleting immediately, don't waste your time!
