  • App seems slow and to require too much touch
    I have the older app, which only disappoints me in its slow and frequent refreshes. So I tried the new one, but it seems even slower to respond. It also seems to require more taps and swipes to reveal information that could easily fit in one view. In short, both the old and new apps are acceptable, but neither is great.

  • I don't like this new design
    The old design was my go-to app for news, ahead of AP. The view of categories was compact, and it took little time to scroll through each to find articles of interest. In the new design, there is so much white space that articles are scattered all over the place. I have to scroll constantly, which is something I disliked in other apps that were redesigned. Apps that are no longer on my iPad, by the way. If the iPad version allowed for the compact view that my wife can select on her phone, maybe I could be content. Until then, I have to endure this modern nonsense.

  • Great content, but ads and pictures slow it down
    The AP Mobile app has a great variety of content and makes it easily accessible. Lately, though, I have noticed that more visually-complex ads have slowed the app's responsiveness. A. If the AP depends on advertisements for revenue to support development of the app, but those ads reduce the appeal of the app, then there's an ugly business problem. B. If there was an ad-free version of the AP Mobile app, I would buy it right away.

  • My preferred mail app, with a few caveats
    Some time ago, I stopped using the iOS Mail app, chiefly because the Gmail app makes it easier to switch between accounts. I'm quite happy, but there are two things I still like better about iOS Mail or Gmail in the browser: 1. I can move messages between accounts in Mail. 2. There are more formatting options available in the browser version of Gmail.

  • Fun to play ...
    ... but this app crashes a LOT.
