Meh

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. Still broken 8/2026.

Excellent & Free

This app provides the latest news, written in a professional and unbiased manner. And, unlike apps such as Reuters and CNN, it’s totally free. It’s now my primary source for U.S. and world news.

Racial tensions

Why do you guys constantly push divisive conflicts between White and black people on your platform? There is more to the world than social justice issues.

Buggy

This app is consistently buggy no matter how often it’s updated. *Sigh*

Ads cover content, but it’s free

AP News is one of the rare free news apps available, and is fairly comprehensive. Ads are to be expected as a trade off. However, the ads often render such that they cover content. This is especially noticeable on the homepage, when they cover titles of articles. This is why I am rating it 4/5 stars.
