Comments on AP News: World & Local for Android

★★★★☆ Jaiden Miller · Jun 27, 2026

AP News is my primary source for reliable, unbiased reporting. I appreciate the real-time updates on global and local events, and the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalism is consistently high-quality. The app is well-organized, making it easy to find news that matters to me. I also like the inclusion of both English and Spanish articles. While the ads can be a bit frequent, the content more than makes up for it. A must-have for anyone who wants to stay informed with facts.

★★★★☆ Mick Willdo · Jan 31, 2026

After a month's use I'm pretty pleased. Reporting seems balanced and gives me another perspective to my other News apps. I've not experienced any annoyance from ads. Everything seems to work fine, with one exception. I've put two favorites in Bookmarks. When I click Soccer I get European News and when I click European News I get Soccer!

★★★★☆ V M · Feb 11, 2026

Since the last update, something has broken in the app. When you're down in Entertainment or 5 articles down from the very top of the app, and you read that article, when you go back, you go back to the very top of the list of articles rather than staying where you were, which used to happen before. Please fix this. It's hugely annoying. And tell your QA team to add a regression test to ensure this doesn't break on future updates.

★★☆☆☆ Douglas Webb · Oct 6, 2026

News notifications pop up. Click on them and the app just spins. It used to be great.

★☆☆☆☆ Kevin Doyon · Apr 6, 2026

Ads appear randomly on the screen as you scroll and even though you're not clicking on them, just scrolling past, they always open and make using the app impossible
