Nice application but "local" is broken if you use a zip code that starts with a zero.. the application removes the leading zero preventing it from finding your proper zip code for local news.. otherwise its a nice application.. Ironically the web version does not have the leading zero zip code bug .. so if you have problems with local zip codes try with safari to get local news.

This is a great app to quickly access all sorts of news. I'm also very happy that they quickly fixed the zipcode bug!

Downloaded it and am really enjoy all the work that went into it. For some reason, the save feature crashes the app. Not sure it thats my phone or something else. FYI.

Did anyone notice the pop-up ad for Intel while they were giving this 4+ stars?

Best news app!!!!

Much better than the online version

Please please re-release the old version. I have been addicted to AP Mobile since getting an iPhone. The old version always outperformed the NYTimes app, which was slow to load and quick to crash. But now with the latest update, AP is even worse. Updates take forever and crash the app before completing, at least 70% of the time. Also, viewing pictures has become impossible, as doing so frequently crashes the app. Before the update, I could swipe through photos easily and quickly. The next complaint I have is a major one. With the old version, as long as I uploaded the news updates before I left the house, I could read them on my subway commute to work. Once the headlines were loaded, without even selecting individual stories, all the stories were then stored on my phone, and could be read without a live connection. This convenience has vanished. It takes so much time and patience to load them, and then they disappear. Additionally, the new format is frustrating because in categories which have sub-headings, such as sports, world, local, showbiz, etc.., the sub-headings are useless, because they cannot all be viewed at the same time. In other words, I have to select "Africa" before "Americas" can even be seen or selected, and so forth down the line. If I want news from "Middle East," I first have to wade through the torturously slow uploads of every preceding page for "Africa," "Americas," "Asia Pacific," and "Europe." Naturally, this is impossible, because it will crash, forcing you to start all over again with "Headlines." The old app was so facile and convenient, I found myself constantly reading it whenever I had a few minutes to kill. Now it is such a pain in the neck that, it can never be utilized for such quick moments. I wouldn't be so disappointed if the old one hadn't been so wonderful! Please bring it back!

I work for the media and I sure as heck use it.

This App is great (Thank you for fixing the local news!)

Fantastic app but 1. Should be able to put in cities instead of zipcodes.... Googling xipcodes isn't fun. 2. Just for aesthetics,,, loooove the hat icon on my iphone but the AP needs to be twice as large.You can't see it. Two little issues , but it is the best news app.... By far!

This news feed always beats tv news, still doesn't replace a newspaper. If you enjoy current events I would add this app.

Chances are when you click on this app you want the latest news. Unfortunately, after playing with it for a a couple of weeks, the news stories do not update reliably. You have no indication as to when and if they are updating, and constantly are left with yesterday's news. The people giving this five stars have probably not been using it for more than a couple of days. You can manually update the stories but this involves clicking on settings, and then update, which quickly becomes a nuisance.

This used to be my favorite app. Mobile news is very important to me. Unfortunately, AP has released 'updates' that have made an excellent program less and less usable. The app keeps getting bigger, slower, and more buggy. Scrolling is jerky now, which causes this latest update to be even more annoying. I would rather downgrade to version 1.0

Maybe I hate these two newest versions so much because I loved the previous one so much. I used to read ap news at least 3 times a day and now I just don't bother with it at all. It takes forever to load anything and now you have to load more pages to even get to the news pages. The scrolling function is totally screwed up and makes me wonder why the ap even let these versions out. The new ap application is TERRIBLE compared to what it once was. TERRIBLE. Content is still excellent, but the interface basically null and voids that. And one more thing, I'd like to see the hat icon back--it was slick and you've replaced it with boring and conventional.

For those of you getting this app right after the 3.0 os update to check out the push technologies, you may be sorely disappointed. In the two days since the new os release, the 4 people I know who are running this app received one (1) push notification, all simutaneously, for the same story, regardless of what categories we selected for news in the app itself. Meanwhile, the app itself continues to update stories all day. I would think all local stories would be pushed at least? Nope, just one story about Supreme Court justices was pushed, at 5:30 this morning, and thats it.

This went from being the best app to the worst. Total garbage.

This used to be my favorite news app but since the update it crashes constantly. It's increasingly frustrating. Hopefully this gets fixed soon or I am just going to deleat it. **Update** After this new update the darn thing compleatly crashed my Iphone...and what is with sneaking the adds in? Save yourself the headache and pass on this app.

Late Breaking News at your fingertips...this is what mobile news was MEANT to look and feel like...and oddly, it has the "iPod" layout found on the iPhone/iTouch...so looking for different "news sections" shouldn't be too hard. And the local news capability and updates is cool too (as you can set multiple cities).

Well it's laggy. I had it installed for about 4 hours and still waiting for something to be "pushed" to me. Is push not working? Miss the old versions.

It's great to be able to view all your local and national news in one place whenever you want! Simple to use, and not as overdone as some of the apps I've seen. I'd give it a 5 star if it didn't have baseball before football in the sports section. An option to set favorites would be nice.

This is a well implemented news reader, I use it daily and have only a few complaints...

Really like this app, but I customized the bottom toolbar and now the app crashes on startup.

Excellent idea, good content and very well-designed UI. However, crashed constantly. Please fix!

The app is speedy and sleek. Faster than nytimes as well. News and local news updates like rabbits popping babies

Before the App Store opened I was using the web version of the Mobile News Network, and it was a model iPhone-optimized web site. This new native version of the application is even better, providing a highly navigable interface to lots of articles in a variety of categories, including picking up local news specific to your home town, and providing great photos to go with the articles.
