All news services slant left or right depending on the agenda of those managing and funding the service. This has been the case since Colonial time, pre-Revolution. The AP, most of the time, reports news with the LEAST amount of bias. Most of its readers and viewers continue reading and viewing AP content. Simple. Not as left as CNN, yet not as to the 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.

The app seems well built. However, it consistently crashes when I am in the middle of reading an article. Reopening the app reloads the article from the top, meaning that you have to scroll back to your place. Additionally, there seems to be no way to control the amount of notifications the app sends.

Oh wow, it's even worse than my previous review! (7/25/22)I've used this app for about 2 years? The most recent update is the worst. Can't save a story cuz the app will quit, the suggested stories that used to be at the bottom of every article are now gross ads and there's still no way to manage the notifications on topics! And still no easy way to even access saved stories! I've tried to email AP support and haven't heard anything back from them. So disappointed
