New style looks like it was designed by engineers not marketing specialists who study the interface of the organized screen with the human eye. Move forward by trashing the new format and reinstating the tried and true format. As for me I have switched to Google!!

NicJS582's Review of Ap News
Reviewed on 8/29/18 2:40 PMThis app is so clunky and slow that, despite using it and loving its unbiased content for the past couple years, I’m saying goodbye. It often freezes when trying to scroll through stories feed or when transitioning from the story feed to a story and back. Also, the top news story feed hardly changes throughout the day so I’m often behind on the stories everyone is talking about. These are all fairly permanent problems that have never been resolved with updates. A recent problem has occurred when I try to view photos and it takes me straight to the video instead and starts auto-playing! Features, rather than problems, that are not very user friendly include swiping left/right to read a new story which inevitably happens when you don’t want it to (and then freezes) and the force return to the story after swiping through the last of a series of pictures. Amazing that the app of a major news organization could be so bad in 2018.

Logan.D.Leatherman25's Review of Ap News
Reviewed on 8/24/18 5:54 PMBack when I was on social media, I came across a graph rating most of the known media outlets in terms of quality of publications and respective bias to the left or right, what with “fake news” having become a household phrase. In the center-most column (indicating neutral bias) at the top of the quality chart was AP. I looked into what that was and it turns out it was the Associated Press. So I downloaded this app, and sure enough the articles are high quality journalism, and due to the myriad sources from which the Associated Press acquires information for their articles, there is rarely if ever any interjected bias like there is in many other media outlets. I really like that they do a weekly fact-check of the actual “fake news” to keep readers well-informed of what news is real. The only other news sources that I would say come close to AP are Reuters, The Economist, and possibly USA Today. I don’t get my news from anywhere else now.

Now I have to flip from one screen to another to get to the various topics. There is no more ‘motor racing’ topic and I do not wish to scroll thru hundreds of ‘sports’ articles to find what I am interested in. The old app gave a small ‘snapshot’ of the article, so I could decide if I wanted to open it to read more. There are way to many articles to scroll through to get to the articles that interest me. I want to be able to ‘customize’ my news feed so I can quickly see what I want to read. ‘If it ain’t broke...don’t fix it’. I will be deleting this app and going to Reuters which allows me to customize my news feed. This AP app is not user friendly unless you are a ‘computer geek’.

Reviewed on 8/22/18 12:08 PMDownloaded the AP app after deleting CNN given their reliably biased coverage and thinly veiled political motivations. I thought AP would be better, and it was for a period of time. Unfortunately, I have seen the AP articles drift closer and closer toward the same behavior. This morning, the breaking news went too far, so I’m done with it. Our press has a responsibility to inform us - not influence our opinions - unless they stop calling themselves part of the protected press. I fear the media doesn’t understand the damage they are doing to our country. I hope we the people see what’s going on.
Junky Downsider's Review of Ap News
Reviewed on 8/21/18 9:46 PMThe old version had a better layout. I do not like the way it requires going to the menu to select a different news section. The other used tiles that were very easy to select. This takes more scrolling, careful verification of the section, and precise finger position. At least they added night mode to this one after enough complaints but the ads are huge and interlaced with news. Moreover, the ads are bright from the ad exchanges, so contrast with night mode. This was a problem with the old one too but at least they were smaller. I really do not understand why AP went this way and expect that now my data is being traded off despite blocking my location and ad ID.

kjtvtraveler's Review of Ap News
Reviewed on 8/14/18 3:35 PMWhenever people ask me what my favorite app is I always answer that it is the AP app. It is a productive way to pass the time. When I am waiting to board a plane, on the line at the post office, or lying in bed, I can catch up on all the top news. The new app is different and I don’t love all the changes since I was so comfortable with the former version. I can, however, accept change. The only thing that really bothers me is that in the former app, you could choose a dark background with lighter text. This seemed easier on my eyes, especially at night. The white background is harsher and I don’t think I will be using this app for my news as much anymore. The only other thing that I would like to mention is that in an older version of the soon to be discontinued AP, the Sports topic could be sorted by individual sport. For example, you could choose Basketball and see only stories about that sport. It would be nice to be able to sort them again. Overall, I am a big fan but would love to see the return of the dark background.

However, I have noticed a problem that was nonexistent with the previous app, and that is the slowness of the app. It doesn’t take long for the app and news stories to load, but it takes a good two seconds for the app to respond to my touch, whether that be selecting an article or simply swiping up or down. I believe it’s because of all the ads on the app. I don’t mind the ads, but if they negatively affect the user’s experience, then something needs to be done.

Hotbrains315's Review of Ap News
Reviewed on 7/20/18 12:21 AMIronically, the old AP Mobile app is still better than every new version of this app, the only reason I’m using new app is due to old app being shut down. The news is no longer presented as easy to choose categories like the old version, instead, the user is forced to scroll through a long useless list of unorganized articles. *(the categories list is a button on bottom of screen, the old version actually presented the news in categories, you know, like a newspaper or a well organized website). I prefer to be the person in control of what I choose to read, not what an algorithm chooses. (I think they do this to increase the number of ads I’m forced to view with this app) The AP is still my #1 source for news I trust and their new app still delivers that news, albeit in a very clumsy and unorganized way, rather than the much more polished presentation of the older AP Mobile. Great news! Crappy app!!

If you get the app to finally open (after repeated shut downs) will freeze/not allow screen scrolling. I don’t usually give app reviews but this is so beyond bad couldn’t help but do so.

ToonMusic's Review of Ap News
Reviewed on 7/19/18 2:47 PMThe older app "AP Mobile" provided a much better news feed experience than this c***** replacement. I wouldn't be inclined to review this app if we weren't being forced to stop using the old one in favor of this. But instead I will be opting for a different news source entirely. The old AP Mobile app was easier to read, had a more eye friendly layout, and the user interface was better... this app is just lame in comparison. Thanks for ruining a good thing.

Scott-49's Review of Ap News
Reviewed on 7/18/18 11:52 PMThis new version is a step back in ease of use and functionality. You can no longer simply select the news topics you like and reorder them by dragging them in the list. In World News there isn't a way I could find to pick regions of interest (Europe, Africa, etc.). To "unfollow" a topic you have to go to the topic list in Settings, open the topic, and click on the "unfollow" button. I'm dropping AP News from my iPhone and iPad as it has been "improved" to a worse, less user friendly version. UPDATE: 7/18/18 I’ve just deleted AP News from my iPad (it’s long gone from my iPhone), for the reasons stated above. Not worth the effort to use.

Reviewed on 7/16/18 4:57 PMUpdate to my prior review regarding Version 2.0 (see below). If anything, this latest release is even worse. It often does not respond at all. I have to close the app, open another app, close that app and go back to AP News and hope it does something. Now you can’t even bypass the app and use a browser to read the news. Every page is now interrupted by a window that pops up to want to open the story in the app. It’s like rubbing salt in the wound - if the app worked, I would not have to use a browser!!! I have regretted deleting the original APNews app ever since I switched to the “new and improved” version. It is less elegant than the original, has more ads, and is less efficient to navigate. However version 2.0 is better than the latest release. If you have not updated to 2.1 yet, do NOT do so. It is less stable and often unresponsive than version 2.0. It’s easier to just read the APNews on their web site

987ks610's Review of Ap News
Reviewed on 7/16/18 11:34 PMSpoiler alert: positive preaching ahead. If the US Constitution is our finest national living document, the AP represents the finest of our living history as provided by the free press. It's a dangerous digital tickertape to walk, making facts your cause in a time when written, oral, and pictorial sources are manipulated within a digital bit of their integrity. AP gets it right - or left - or most often, in between where we must all live with one another. AP presents the news for all, plainly spoken, straightforward, with depth. The style of the app, the tap-n-read mode that our age embraces, would be improved only by what all sites need, ever sharper editing to be certain the accuracy, the very words of the online document correctly reflect its substance. I am encouraged that we might expect at least this one institution to outlive us all by the nature of its legacy: literacy. Why not believe that our species will long retain the ability to build our own brain activity, enhance collective dialogue and embrace challenges we must all face? Got hope? AP does, and no sugarcoating.

You get a “story is too new” type message and it tells you to check back later-later could be over an hour where as other news organization apps will have already posted a story I love this app and it is my trusted news source. I am however getting frustrated with it freezing, crashing and still being frozen when I exit and renter it after several attempts.

Krox10's Review of Ap News
Reviewed on 12/22/18 12:36 PMIn previous versions, it seems like the wait time was centered around loading the app. (Every single time, not just on the initial load.) Now, however, it seems to be a bit less during the app load - but there is now a marked delay in pulling up specific articles to read. Overall, to me, this results in a worse user experience than the performance issues in the previous versions.

Groenlo's Review of Ap News
Reviewed on 12/16/18 12:39 PMThe app is ok, though I do miss the categorization of the older version. The AP app has remained my favorite news app and go-to for several years. Apart from the app itself, the writing has been good and fairly neutral. But it has become increasingly biased against Trump to a degree that colors the reporting far too deeply for me to take it seriously. Any story with a political component goes out of its way to bash Trump. The number of actual news stories has dwindled as the anti-Trump editorials have proliferated. Fox is too far in the other direction. AP has become Fox’s opposite twin. So I’m on the hunt for a new news app.

Reviewed on 10/30/18 9:57 PMYou don’t need to actively monitor my location in order to provide local news coverage. A simple zip code will suffice. Really good of you folks to shutdown your older app (which didn’t track me) in favor of this “upgraded” version.
Pennut butter's Review of Ap News
Reviewed on 10/30/18 9:30 PMHow about objectivity in reporting political events/stories? Skewed accounts call into question everything being told. Fairness in reporting is not only proper, but there is a huge market for it because the public doesn’t trust the mainstream media (such as AP) and fair reporting is how trust can be garnered. Thank you.

Redbird51's Review of Ap News
Reviewed on 10/28/18 9:25 PMI love AP ap. It’s easy to use, but more importantly it’s well balanced. Wether you need WSJ or Ny Times, this should be part of your daily read. It’s basically just the news, no partisan slant from what I can see. For me I read all three - it’s a great way to get to the facts.
PhilaJoe's Review of Ap News
Reviewed on 10/28/18 3:35 PMThe AP app has excellent, virtually comprehensive, accurate local, national and international news. The app (and my usage of it) is greatly diminished by the AP allowing incredibly distracting animated advertisements to appear in the banner ad at the bottom of every article. While I understand and support the AP’s need to monetize the app I hope they will consider other less distracting types of ads such as ‘sponsored’ content (clearly labeled) that would likely bring in more $$ and be more effective for advertisers too.

I am unable to read some of the articles I wanted to read. This needs to be fixed. This is happening on my iPad. Update: Oct. 2, 2018. The app quits on me when I am reading articles. I am persistent so open the app up to continue reading. I have had to reopen the app 6 times or more to read an article. It is frustrating and annoying. This is on my 4th generation iPad. Other apps on my iPad do not do this.

This is next level.

The AP is also not government-funded, therefore completely free from the agendas, whims and propaganda associated with the state.
It's Eddie's Review of Ap News
Reviewed on 10/11/18 7:53 PMThe older AP app displayed more content above the scroll line and was easier to customize. Now you may see three or four headlines before scrolling is required to see more stories. The old version would display six or seven headlines. This is, from a 'user' or consumer perspective, a step in the wrong direction. AP should make it easier and quicker to view news rather than require MORE effort. Very disappointed. UPDATE for October 2018: The above review continues to be relevant with this addition - all the advertisements accomplish two things in my old iPhone 6: 1) drains the battery super-crazy-fast and 2) heats-up the back of the iPhone, sometimes up to 104 degrees (fahrenheit). It's kinda frightening how hot it gets! Seems clear this is caused by the advertisements as they have so much animation and garbage that taxes the CPU. PLEASE fix this!

HON3STABE's Review of Ap News
Reviewed on 1/13/19 12:37 PMOn a day-to-day basis, I read through multiple news apps on my phone. My news apps range from what some consider h******* conservative media outlets to the opposite left wing liberal media outlets. I go through at least 5 news apps that usually cover the same stories everyday. I do this because I want to be able to read between the lines and cypher out all the nonsense of biased reporting within the media. The AP WAS one of my GO-TO news sources for decent journalism and accurate coverage, but it seems as if they have deviated from their original reporting. I am now seeing a lot of important issues being covered with VERY opinionated stuff. From what I’ve been reading, they use certain words and phrases within their articles to evoke an emotional response from their readers.... LOGIC AND FACTS OVER PERSONAL OPINIONS & EMOTION... That’s what reporting is. Keep your reporter’s opinions within your company and go back to your legitimate and non-opinionated ways.... Sincerely, A Longtime AP Fan.
