Unable to share news articles after the latest update. Seriously?!? All the news apps I have on my phone have a share feature, but AP does not. Disappointing 😞 1-star UPDATE: After all the issues with the app, I continued to use it to get a different perspective on current events. But now the app is unusable unless you ACCEPT data collection by the app. There is no option to DENY data collection 🤬 I'll give AP a week to fix the option to DENY data collection. Many other news apps available.

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.
