The news is ok, but what is really annoying is the advertisements that seem to insert into the feed as you are reading, meaning everything jumps and you have to find your place again. As you scroll up or down the adverts will suddenly insert themselves, following your scrolling of the feed, moving all the surrounding text as this happens. I can't use an app that does that, it's like reading a paper and someone ripping it away from you, and having to search for your lost place again.

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.

Just uninstalled. Despite adjusting the notification settings several times (and ensuring I was logged in and saving my choices), the app consistently changed my settings back to push all notifications instead of the ones I selected. I was looking for notifications on breaking political news ONLY, and the AP News app made that impossible. I was getting 10+ push notifications a day about sports, movie awards, celebrity culture, and more.
