The news and functionality are good. But the ads are too frequent, appearing on every article on top of the pages. The "x" function reduces the size of the ad but they still obscure some of the reading area. UPDATE: I am uninstalling this app and just bookmarking the website. I still get push notifications although I turned off all push notifications. it's quite frustrating. I like APNews but the app is not good, in my opinion.

Had to knock a star off after the latest update. The user interface is inferior to the previous version. It's like an amalgamation of mobile app and desktop web-based versions, but doesn't rise to the ability of either. Worse, the app is prone to crashing, and I'm considering removing another star if that issue isn't resolved soon. 8/24/24: The issues haven't gotten any better, so I'm knocking this down to three stars.

Clicking on news story notifications doesn't take you straight to the story you want to read, it just opens the app which is left at whatever article you were last reading, so you have to back out of the article to the main page, scroll up and down to find the article (which usually has a different title from what the notification said) and often have to refresh the main page. Due to this, about 50% of the time an article notification catches my eye I don't end up reading the article because I don't feel like hunting for it.
