The free app lets users personalize their news experience in a big way

so they can stay on top of breaking stories of special interest to them.

They can do this by customizing their news feed, choosing to follow

specific topics and newsmakers as they appear in developing stories—

whether it’s Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan or Beyonce— and

setting up news alerts by subject.

Easier workflow allows for more AP video. Users will also find

curated pages by topic, including politics and sports, shareable

collections and more local content from AP member news organizations.

Moreover, the app seamlessly transitions users to members’ websites for

this local coverage, giving the outlets a traffic benefit.

“There

are a lot of news products on the market, but AP News is really built

for you, the user,” says AP’s global director of mobile, Michael Boord.

He describes the features of AP News in this video.

AP News is currently available for iOS users. You can download it here.
