### 5/5 — Precision Reporting, Exceptional Experience

*2026-07-08*

AAP News is a standout platform for credible, fast, and well‑curated reporting. The app is thoughtfully designed, easy to navigate, and consistently delivers accurate updates without noise or clutter. It’s a must‑have for anyone who values quality journalism and dependable information.

### 5/5 — Fact based News!

*2026-03-31*

Very happy with the news collated by AAP factual, accurate information and reporting. Definitely a trustworthy source for News.

### 5/5 — Refreshing

*2025-12-17*

Just switched from the ABC which is so heavily bias these days. Such an instant improvement in the quality of news, very happy.

### 5/5 — Great Content but the Ugly New Font.

*2025-05-03*

Up to now loving the great content and easy on the eye layout and readability. Court reporting as always impeccable.

Then I did an iPad app update and almost cried.

Where’s the iconic blue gone!

Research shows the eye scans certain fonts and layouts online better than others. 

The app updated to reveal a rebrand to an ugly old fashioned print style font a la SMH (print) making it all much less readable. 

As for the logo. Ugh.

Still great content though.

### 5/5 — No Spin

*2025-04-25*

It’s nice not having to wade through editorials and spin to find the news.

### 5/5 — Facts only

*2024-10-18*

I love the fact I can read the simple facts about current affairs without clickbait and without opinion.

### 5/5 — AAP is great app

*2023-11-13*

This app is great. Does all you need News and everything great reporting
However, the only thing is, I couldn’t afford the subscriptions. I had to get rid of it, but can understand.
Thank you

### 5/5 — News as it should be

*2023-04-27*

Wire reporting is of paramount importance in our democracy. AAP’s ethical standards are impeccable. When politicians and big business try to undermine the news, AAP stands firm. Even rivals - former owners News Corp and Nine - tried to silence to silence AAP. They valued AAP as worthless. Yet AAP survived. Supporting AAP is supporting our democracy, without fear and without favour.

### 5/5 — Just the facts

*2022-08-07*

Great unbiased news source.

### 4/5 — Unbiased news

*2022-06-10*

Direct news from the Associated Press - unbiased and excellent value at $10/month. Just wish that the search functionality was improved beyond just article tags to find specific news stories with key words in headline.
