Hello! It sounds like you're experiencing an issue where the Detroit Free Press app opens but shows a blank screen on your iPad. Let's work through some troubleshooting steps together to try and resolve this.

1. Force Close the App: Double-tap the home button or swipe up from the bottom of the screen to access the app switcher. Find the Detroit Free Press app and swipe it off the screen to force close it. Then, reopen the app.

2. Restart Your iPad: Sometimes a simple restart can make a big difference. To do this, press and hold the power button until you see the "slide to power off" option. Slide it, wait a few seconds, then turn your iPad back on.

3. Check for Updates: Make sure that both your iPad's operating system and the Detroit Free Press app are up to date. Go to the App Store, tap on your profile icon at the top right, and scroll down to see if there are updates available for the app.

4. Reinstall the App: If the above steps don't work, you might want to try uninstalling the app and then reinstalling it. To uninstall, press and hold the app icon until you see an "X." Tap it, then go to the App Store and reinstall the Detroit Free Press app.

5. Check for Storage Issues: Sometimes, insufficient storage can cause apps to behave unexpectedly. Go to Settings > General > iPad Storage to see if you have enough space available.

If you've gone through these steps and the issue persists, there might be a compatibility issue or a bug in the app. In that case, you could also check the help center for potential updates or issues reported with the app Detroit Free Press Help Center 1.
