Article selection is incomplete. Sticks to sports, pop culture, and automotive and national news stories. This app is useless for local news.

Long time Detroiter, support the Free Press, however this app makes me miss physical paper, then there wouldn't be pop up ads chasing me as I scroll, so they have an ad free subscription?
