The app is reliable and stable. My criticism has to do with the push notifications. I have the feature enabled for breaking news. The majority of the time I'm getting push alerts for celebrity gossip, sports, or other non news events. AP needs to do a better job at prioritizing what is worthy of an alert and stop sending spam.

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.
