Pros and cons of AFP Mobile app for iPhone and iPad

AFP Mobile app good for

Timely and deep resorce for international news. Top wire service. And dont let the "agence France presse" worry you. Its in English! Thank you AFP!
Perfect, and very reliable program. Very news delivers with a speed of light. A+++
Nice app, but could you please enable push notifications? Then youll get 5 stars, instead 5.
I was originally put off buying this ap because of another review that said it featured ads but I was so desperate for a good news source like AFP that I went ahead anyway. So far so good. The UI is pretty cool and I havent seen any ads in the articles. But yes, it does not include French language support. Seems like Arabic is included in this version.
Very informative ap ranks up there with guardians ap as well as nytimes worth the money!!!
What was 5 stars would have been 2 had I not tested a theory. For anyone experiencing crashes on section change after installing this latest update, try completely uninstalling then reinstalling the app. I have seen this happen before in other app releases. Sometimes the developer knows and sometimes not. In any case after this my app seems completely stable. Afp loses one star for being troublesome. Ill give it back on next update if it is smooth. I concur with the other reviewers on the question of how afp can produce an app with several language options EXLUDING French. This is ridiculous!

Some bad moments

Very slow loading and crashes allll the time but not a bad source of news.
The left side of the articles are cut off due to applications improper formatting.
The articles were image files and cropped to be illegible, the first few uses I could navigate menus and at least get headlines, now it crashes at first input. It needs to be patched before I could recommend it to anyone. Use McClatchy instead for your world news.
フランスの通信者なのにどうしてフランス語がないのか謎。
AFP news is great, but this app itself is horrible. Takes like 10 min to load the top news, and you have to tap other categories to make the app download the other 3 categories of your choice. I start in the morning but Im practically in the office by the time this app finishes downloading. Needs serious upgrade!!! Please.
AFP: accuracy, speed and clarity, indeed, though, this app is too crappy to read articles. Showing pictures on the toppage should be a option. There are so many to KAIZEN.
