I have been monitoring AP since 83 that is 1983 since I started with Abc till today they are great. When I am disabled and retired You guys are a great journalist.

App locks up on iPad

Locks up after scrolling about half way

It is ok

Not that bad

Scrolling nightmare

While scrolling through the news I’m getting bounced all around the topics. This with my iPad. Other than that it’s my favorite news source.

Ads make reading almost impossible

I’ve used the AP News app for many years, but lately the various pop-up ads and reminders from AP make it almost unusable. My position while reading the text jumps around without me touching the screen, and I have to constantly dismiss advertisements. I’d rather use Apple News to read AP news now.
