AP used to function just fine on my Samsung Galaxy Z6 Flip. Now, when I open the app, the homepage works fine, but if I click on an article to read, the app freezes and will not scroll up or down. After a few seconds of trying to scroll, it will simply crash. I've checked for updates, uninstalled and reinstalled, cleared cache and data, and always get the same results. I guess I'm on the hunt for another reliable news source with a functional app.

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.
