Used to Love this app delivered as kid now able to keep up with my teams and area since moving away. You guys are ruining this paper just look at the avg. review. When you leave a story it takes you back to the top page, you have to scroll down again to get where you were,just pain in the a**. UPDATE you have articles with pictures of different stories if I wanted to read that story I would have clicked on it. put pictures of story with article, we like to see picture of the story you're read

Last update screwed up scrolling. Can't seem to figure out why,but it appears maybe the ads are affecting the scroll where it gets jittery and sometimes reverses. The scrolling is so bad, I'm uninstalling the app. Freep has always been my go to news. Not anymore. Low quality loses me. Hey Free Press, fix it and I MAY come back. Probably not though. Too damn frustrating.

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.
