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

This app is consistently buggy no matter how often it’s updated. *Sigh*

AP News is one of the rare free news apps available, and is fairly comprehensive. Ads are to be expected as a trade off. However, the ads often render such that they cover content. This is especially noticeable on the homepage, when they cover titles of articles. This is why I am rating it 4/5 stars.
