Michiganians living in Minnesota rely on the Free Press to keep up with our sports teams and Detroit area news.


App is too sensitive in iOS 13
Bcase17

With the latest version of iOS, the app links are too sensitive when scrolling. If you accidentally touch a link while scrolling in an article it opens the link far too easily. Previous versions allowed for you you to only open a link if you deliberately pressed on the link. Now when there are articles with a large number of links, it is very difficult to read the entire article without getting unwittingly redirected.
