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.

The general layout is nice, but there are a few shortcomings to this app. 1) I can't turn on news based on my location w/o turning on loc on my phone. zip and state options would be nice. 2) app keeps crashing - is it not backwards compatible for people with older phones? 3) accessibility is a problem. I need an option to turn off side swiping. I am constantly struggling to scroll straight enough to not open the adjacent article. 4) causes my VPN to crash, which I saw in another review as well!

Simple. Not as left as CNN, yet not as far right as Fox. .... Thank you. Thank you. The widget is back! Nice, great, in fact, to get a preview of current news before you enter the app. .... SUGGESTIONS: A settings button for or within the app's widget would be a plus. 1. to control the font sizes beyond the device and app settings (for users with low vision). 2. to allow for a widget feature listing the latest headlines first, from the top.
