Terrible app. The top of the news feed displays 1-3 new articles. Then you have to scroll past a photography section, a review section, weekend reads, a weekend playlist, the most watched videos, short stories, several categories, today in history, and the most read stories BEFORE FINALLY GETTING TO THE LATEST NEWS!!!! Hello!!! what do you think people are using the app for - BIG SURPRISE... IT'S TO READ THE NEWS!!! News isn't news if it's recapped from days before - it's then old news.

App now requires advertising tracking. Will never use again. Developer only sent a no reply, still has lost a user permanently.

I thought this would be a good news app but am going to uninstall it. Tons of ads and one has to keep scrolling to see content tons of different content.

Dead on arrival news and journalism... as useless as British monarchy. If you like to know about their journalism, go to Aljazeera and see the news they omit, even on American politics and economy.

I just got a new notice from the app about data that it's going to store and share. So I uninstalled it.

The app asks me to reenable my advertising ID every time I open it after I explicitly disabled it. What part of "no" does AP not understand?

Deleted your app since you think you are entitled to all my data across other websites. There is no way to opt of out that. Bye.

Unfortunately, I am updating my 5 star review from 2020 due to the AP app insisting on changing their data policy in such a heavy handed way. I don't now, nor have I ever, needed personalized adds. I have left my original review intact below. AP appears to be as neutral as it gets. As good an anchor for honest journalism as I have been able to experience in this day and age.
