AP News

Push notifications on iOS are completely broken. I set them to Breaking only, and I get everything. I set them to nothing, and I get everything. Otherwise a good app.

Click sensitivity on ads, particularly for Expedia, is absolutely ridiculous. I’m constantly opening safari tabs while trying to scroll. App is borderline unusable because of this.

Reliably Unreliable

No longer a free speech platform. They opened up chat but if you express views on Israel THEY DEACTIVATE your account. boycott AP BoycottAP now

The app works well most of the time. Unfortunately the date on the “Today in History” image is stuck at February 25. Let’s see if the AP’s app developers read reviews as I can’t find any other way to feedback on a bug.

You can click anywhere but when you do, suddenly you’re being forced off the app and into your web browser to the ad that was shown 3/4 of the way down. I’m about to delete this trash. Used to read BBC before they did this. I’m on the cusp of deleting this app too. I’ll go straight to RT news online. At least then I’ll get a bias that’s not liberal leaning.

Promotes extreme progressive agenda. Never misses a chance to denigrate Israel, drag Trump irrelevantly into unrelated stories, and fail to report on atrocities throughout the world that would cast their woke causes in a negative light. Sloppy reporting and writing, replete with misspellings.

Update May 2026 —. I don’t know what changed but this app takes forever to load now. I even deleted and re-added thinking maybe cache was getting too big. When you launch the app it just sits there loading. I don’t know if this is due to the addition of adds and we are waiting on third party loads on top of the news feed load but I’m quickly losing patience after several weeks of this and a few app updates since it started with it not being fixed. And I have 2.5GB internet at my house so it’s not my connection. There is no way you aren’t aware of this issue so what’s taking so long to get performance back to acceptable levels??!!??!! Previous review — This used to be my top news app. I could always count on it having up to date news information. After the last couple of updates things have gone down hill. News stories are not refreshing. I see the same stories for DAYS on my home page. Yes one or two will refresh but others just seem stuck there and stories I see on other news apps are not showing up here. I too, like others, have experienced crashes while reading articles. I also have noticed an uptick in adds in the feeds. There are better news apps out there to pick from and this one is quickly fading away in use.

Every time the app updates, my account is automatically signed out, which means I stop receiving breaking news notifications. I attempt to log back in, and instead of accepting my login credentials, the app prompts me that my account doesn’t exist and I have to create a new account. I have gone through this frustrating circular loop over three times. Please fix it! === I have stopped receiving news alert notifications after I upgraded to my new iPhone 14 Pro Max. I have checked the AP app settings, I’ve checked my phone’s notification settings, I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the app, I’ve shutdown and restarted my phone: none has resolved the issue. The Associated Press is my number one and most trusted news app and I read it daily. It is a major inconvenience to me if I can’t receive breaking news alert notifications. Please fix.

The fact that can’t scroll past an Expedia ad without it opening up safari is ridiculous. Add that there is an ad after every couple articles makes it impossible to be infuriated. Will stick with Reuters

I hope they fix the bug that stops any audio you are playing.

Open this to read the news and all music stops. Great design. Should be able to turn off auto play.
