Most other “News” sources are just disguised click-bait. They bury the lead five or six paragraphs down in the body of the article. AP delivers the news quickly, traditionally, easy to get to the facts of the story. Thank you, AP.
I used to go to AP News to read the headlines which would show up on my phones and the stories which accompanied them however, in the last two years, I find that the application has become less and less accessible for those of us who are blind that is to say completely blind. it is impossible to read the story using voice, and it appears that they don’t even care. They have taken an application which was mostly accessible and turned it into an application which is not accessible. It makes me sad.
It is very annoying that this app fully refreshes the headline listing whenever the app is deactivated then reactivated. If we leave the app to answer a text and go back to it, we shouldn’t be forced to scroll down to find where we were in the list.
As an independent voter looking for sources that don’t offer just one viewpoint, I’m very disappointed in the direction that AP has gone down. There was a time when this was my number one trusted site for a non biased news, now it’s just another left wing outlet.
News Blast: Trump’s in the2024 Election - not just Harris
Most all the election news stories are on Harris, all favorable too. Very disappointing because the least of my expectations is that AP provide equal coverage of the candidates in the 2024 election. Also disappointing to see is that Harris “stories” are all favorable presenting her as someone who is perfect, can do no wrong, which is clearly incorrect given her past 3.5 years lackluster results.
The AP has long stood as the most reliable source of news but they’ve really gone done over the last few years. Now headlines are sensationalist and misleading. Articles are improperly checked for facts. We’re talking things that can be disproven with 30 seconds of googling that are making it into articles. It’s shameful and disgraceful.
Unlike nearly all other news apps that are trying to sell you upgrade subscriptions to dozens of other magazines and other outlets, this one just gives you straight news from AP, which is of course more limited than the rich content you might get from something like Apple news, but it’s also free and good enough to catch up on headlines without getting sidetracked into deeper stories like investigative reporting and opinion pieces.
As a retired person, I can read the news at my leisure. I always start with the Associated Press, because the stories are clear-eyed, well-written and pretty much free of bias. (AP is also usually first to get the story, too.)
AP is our most fair and trustworthy news source America has! If only all other news sources were even close to AP’s credibility and standards…. Good and bad journalism should not be the norm. Our population needs to know what is really happening and what’s really important so we all have a better understanding and knowledge pathways. Thanks soooo much AP!!!! Jerry Schwartze Coburg, Oregon
Yep, very sad it’s clearly left leaning on everything and far too much opinion and too little actual “news” anymore… Just the way it is for the most part but yah, would love to think the AP of all sources wouldn’t have fallen into the trap they so obviously have… Sad…
Everyone should go to AP first—the only remaining news source where the reader can find out what’s going on in the whole wide world. —Steve Kenney, Portland, Oregon
Facts. Not biases and agendas. God the Associated Press has become one of the most precious and critical resources available to the American people. I’m not sure that there’s another unbiased new source out there anymore.
As someone who despises propaganda to its core and cannot understand those participating in it, I’m thankful for this outlet. Please keep up unbiased reporting. I want facts, not promotion of an agenda.
AP undoubtedly provides unbiased news and events in Gaza war as it happens on the ground compared to twisted and deceptive presentations of mainstream US news media like NY Times and LA Times. I get news from AP that are without bias. Investigative journalism is at its best from AP News.
We know about the quality of AP journalism so I don’t need to speak on that as this is a review of the app itself. The app itself, is not a great experience. The layout is… not well designed. It has to reset to the top of the page nearly constantly when reading an article, which makes it nearly impossible to use. Sometimes just scrolling will confuse the app so it reloads… which, you guessed it, yanks you back to the top of the page. Even if it doesn’t get confused, sometimes it’ll register a SLIGHT sideways swipe, which yoinks you back tot he top of the page. They plaster ads on the app, and loading those ads… is buggy and sometimes… yup! confuses itself and the page has to reload. Its like it can’t help itself. It’s been this way for years. I got a new phone and downloaded the app to see if its been fixed 🤣 it hasn’t. Web pages can remember where you were on a page while this dedicated app… can’t for some reason. This is on an iPhone 15 it’s not like it’s outdated hardware. Do yourself a favor. Just use the website. 👍 You can save it to your Home Screen and use it like an app and have a better experience.
This app is absolutely terrible. Reloads constantly, and you can't exit the tab without losing your article most of the time. it cant keep still, even if it holds your article it reloads anyways and if your wifi isn't top tier it will take a million years. And even if all those hurdles are surpassed, the article randomly reloads and makes you loose your place. And of course stops your music/ whatever's playing. Considering finding a new news source cause these problems make the app borderline unusable. So frustrating to use.
Not journalism. Distorts facts to advance their narrative while ignoring important stories that do not. Seemingly not content with misreporting the news, some might go so far to say that AP is creating news by blurring the boundary between observation and participation in the world’s sad state of affairs, while, at the same time, attempting to rewrite history.
I love this app and appreciate all the hard work that goes into the news reporting. The one feature that would make this 5 stars is having notification preferences. I want to co trip what kind of issues I get notifications. I only want one or two a day about some important issues but I get a ton about some things I don’t care as much about. I want to keep notifications on but it’s hard when I’m trying to minimize distractions. Please consider my request. Thanks!
Anyone who takes just 30 minutes of their life (which I would love to have back!) to browse the videos on offer and scroll the articles on AP’s app, can tell very quickly what we are supposed to think, feel, and believe. LONG gone are the days of impartial and unbiased news coverage. I downloaded this app as I have family who use this is their primary news source, and 30 minutes of reading and listening explains a lot I have not been able to understand about viewpoints and politics of some in my family. It is now clear… AP, you are not telling us what is going on in our world and in our country, but you are now telling us how to feel about it, what to think of it, who we should believe… and in the end which way we should vote. I hope more and more American patriots see right through your lies and deceit, before we lose this great nation we love. If only I could have given you zero stars in my rating! God bless the USA.
AP news has changed to having bias as of late that is more left-leaning. I understand we live in a fired up climate but to report news with bias feels less authentic and more skewed. I would forego AP news during election time. It’s less informative than it used to be and feels like an echo chamber for left-leaning ideologies.
