Ratings and reviews

Unable to share news articles after the latest update. Seriously?!? All the news apps I have on my phone have a share feature, but AP does not. Disappointing 😞 1-star UPDATE: After all the issues with the app, I continued to use it to get a different perspective on current events. But now the app is unusable unless you ACCEPT data collection by the app. There is no option to DENY data collection 🤬 I'll give AP a week to fix the option to DENY data collection. Many other news apps available.

AP used to function just fine on my Samsung Galaxy Z6 Flip. Now, when I open the app, the homepage works fine, but if I click on an article to read, the app freezes and will not scroll up or down. After a few seconds of trying to scroll, it will simply crash. I've checked for updates, uninstalled and reinstalled, cleared cache and data, and always get the same results. I guess I'm on the hunt for another reliable news source with a functional app.

Regarding just the app: it NEEDS custom notification settings. If I'm being inundated with notifications and can't choose what I want to see, I'm disinclined to read any of it. I want to choose what I care about the most. Instead, I had to turn off ALL notifications. News is important, but only when you can actually read it.
