AP News. Where the news gets its news.

Ratings and reviews

Excellent source of news, but the latest redesign has been a bit rough for me. The share button seems to have completely disappeared so I can't easily share articles that I find interesting. Notifications also don't seem to work properly. Clicking on a notification opens the app, but it doesn't actually open the article mentioned in the notification.

This app sucks since it updated. Constant notifications, mostly about non-breaking news. It crashes often. Touching a notification used to take you right to that story, but since the update it either takes you to the main page or crashes 75% of the time. The font is much harder to read. The Top News page is crowded and ugly. I'm a journalist and have never been without the AP app, but I'm probably going to delete it and go with Wash. Post instead.

I'm experiencing all of the same issues as other recent 1 star reviews. Noifications for headlines no longer consistently open up the article in the app (like it works maybe 10% of the time), navigating the app is less smooth and straightforward than before, links that lead to AP articles just cause the app the crash. The most recent update made a well made, smooth, easily navigable app into a buggy frustrating mess.
