User Reviews

AP News offers strong, unbiased journalism and reliable updates for free, but users repeatedly report a painful UX: intrusive, touchy ads; slow loads; buggy behavior; and a scrolling UI that’s hindered by photo carousels. Notifications also fail to open the exact article. Content quality is widely praised, but performance and UX need improvement to match the caliber of the reporting.

Pros

High-quality, informative AP news with reliable updates.
Unbiased, objective reporting that readers value.
Free to use with no paywall.
Consistent updates and broad coverage that users rely on.
Good readability on iPad and across devices.

Cons

Ads are extremely sensitive and frequently trigger as you scroll, causing accidental taps and navigation away from articles (e.g., Expedia ads).
Very slow loading times for lists and individual articles.
App stability issues: stalls, freezes, and inconsistent loading.
UI/UX issues like mid-screen photo carousels blocking vertical scrolling.
Notifications do not deep-link to the article; tapping a notification returns to the home screen.

Recent reviews

The articles are well written, but the app was recently updated to remove the ability to stop autoplaying videos. Now they just start blasting away as soon as you scroll past. I’ve cancelled my monthly donation until they fix this.

Subject: Lost customer due to intrusive mobile-app experience I’m writing to explain why AP News has lost me as a customer. The repeated prompts, interruptions, and aggressive messaging in the mobile app felt less like customer engagement and more like harassment. They significantly interfered with simply checking the news. I have decided to stop using the app—and cancel my subscription, if applicable—because of this experience. Please share this feedback with your mobile product and leadership teams. An app should respect its users rather than repeatedly pressure or interrupt them. Love the app - not worth spending more money and being harassed.
