### 1/5 — Not functioning

*2025-08-23*

### 1/5 — Aap news

*2020-03-15*

### 1/5 — Not being updated. Sad

### 2/5 — Stuck in the past

*2020-01-08*

The most recent issue of the News is September 2019.  No new content for 5 months

### 2/5 — Doesn't work

*2012-11-25*

I downloaded an earlier version of this app when I got an iTouch a few years ago. It was so buggy, I deleted it in less than a day. I just got an iPhone 5 and decided to try the app again. It is just as bad as it was the first time I tried it. The app quit repeatedly or wouldn't open pages the way it was supposed to. As a pediatrician, it would have been handy to use an app like this when I was waiting to pick up one of my kids, etc., but at it stands, this is a waste of time.
