AFP Mobile for Android
...news organization.
it was... fine before, now it's just a dead app. Won't load any. thing.
Agree with other reviews, it doesn't work well enough to keep. It's gone.
Add stories function doesn't work.
Slow,slower ,zzzzz.
Cannot add and remove topics. The app makes motions like it's doing so, but it doesn't
Can't add or delete topics...terrible...poor show for a national wire service agency....it is disappointing since AFP's content and reporting is among the best.....
What's happening with this app, I can't add any of the topics, just world news and sport. Please sort it out!
The app doesn't work right. I can't disable the default categories or select the other available categories. I HATE SPORTS AND WILL UNINSTALL THIS BECAUSE OF THAT JUNK BEING TOO MANY OF THE DEFAULT CATEGORIES I CAN NOT DISABLE OR CHANGE. ***TYPICAL FRENCH...DOES NOT WORK***
I detest the changing photograph flitting across the top of the screen. It's much too distracting. It prevents me from reading the news in any language! There are no push notifications available. This may be the worst news app on the Web!
Slow to load and difficult to navigate. Needs an overhaul. But a good relatively independent source of news of you are patient enough to wait for the items to load.
None of the features work, the only way to use the app is going to All News and hope they are really all visualized.
Simply not working. To many bugs to fix. Needs total reorganization. Can't control news topics, even though it is offered... and so on.
Slick looking, but very buggy,. I can't add (or remove) news categories. I tap and nothing happens. Also, this app appears to have been abandoned. It's not been updated since January 2015! Uninstalled.
Slow to launch, buttons to remove or add news categories do not work. So, certain items cannot be viewed. This App is worse than the AFP website. Plus: good news coverage.
Not a very well laid out, or user friendly app. Great news source normally, but this app is not. Firstly, I cannot add topics or remove them, this is broken and does not work for me. Making it rather useless for me. I will continue to keep it in hopes that the Dev's fix it and make it better for news junkies. Until then I will continue to use my AP Mobile, BBC News, Bloomberg, NPR and Reuters apps.
BREAKING NEWS: AFP WENT BANKRUPT AND CAN'T AFFORD A DEVELOPER. Serriously AFP? Such a good news source and yet not a decent app!! The app needs a good layout, a widget, and PUSH NOTIFICATIONS! I can't go on the app every time! Thankfully there are many other great apps. This needs a fix.
Get to what you want to read. Does not seem to retain selected news categories. Must add them again each time app is opened.

I tried this app on 2 different phones, one running Lollipop and the other Marshmallows, but both cannot get Internet connection when every other apps work!
App taking a lot of time e to load the news and images and unable to post the news in Twitter and Facebook only link getting displayed. Irritating.
The ugliest and bad design in all apps on the play store. Really afp could not afford a real programmer?
The app crashes when one clicks on an article, which takes a long time to load anyway before crashing. Sharing to other platforms is difficult and so the app is terrible.
Don't show the news, obly titles. Useless. :-(
I mean every time.
This app is horrible...... totaly unacceptable from afp
Remove this app if you have no plan to update.
It doesn't work
Expecting an extemporised version
Really afp? You are the only place whose news I trust. I really don't want to get my news anywhere else. But if you don't fix this god awful app I'm going to give up on you. Scratch that dont fix it, just scrap it and start over. College kids could build a better app than this.
All I wanna say is that, This horrible app just doesn't go with the name, AFP.
Best looking nonfunctional app I have ever used. Looks great but just doesn't work well, sometimes not at all. Web builders need to look for a new line of work on this one.

Useful App .. Just loved it
The app needs improvement on several fronts: first off it needs a breaking news push notification feature. Second, category customization is bugged: your settings never save. The idea is great but the execution is subpar, to put it lightly. A widget ala Reuters, NYT, etc would also be appreciated. The app also cannot synchronize with other apps, for instance I cannot save articles on Pocket or share them via FB-messenger.
How could you program a low quality app like this? Videos don't work even when my WiFi is working well. Images take too long to load for my internet connection.
If you add russian,I'll give 5 stars
The organization in this app and the way articles are categorized are in such a way that you first need to go through several categories before you get the news. In theory a new approch in practise I just end up usibg different apps ghat give me the news straight away, like Reuters and Euronews. Disappointing.
