User Reviews

Users find AP News useful with broad world/local coverage and trust in its non-profit stance. Major complaints center on intrusive ads and overlays that disrupt reading and sharing, plus reliability problems after updates. Privacy issues and difficulties opting out of data collection are also common. Overall sentiment is mixed: useful and trusted, but marred by ads, usability barriers, and stability/privacy concerns.

Pros

Very useful for staying informed
Broad world and local news coverage; serves as a go-to source
Perceived trust and integrity (non-profit status cited)

Cons

Ad-heavy experience with intrusive pop-ups and ads disguised as news
Sharing and screenshot features hindered by overlays (blocking or removal)
Reliability issues: crashes, app won’t open, and update-induced bugs
Privacy concerns: data collection and opt-out options are problematic

AP News is my primary source for reliable, unbiased reporting. I appreciate the real-time updates on global and local events, and the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalism is consistently high-quality. The app is well-organized, making it easy to find news that matters to me. I also like the inclusion of both English and Spanish articles. While the ads can be a bit frequent, the content more than makes up for it. A must-have for anyone who wants to stay informed with facts.
