NOTE TO 2010 USERS: This is a separate app from the 2010 version so your saved data/notes will NOT be ported to the 2011 version.

The Associated Press Stylebook is an essential tool for writers, editors, students and public relations professionals. It provides fundamental guidelines on spelling, grammar, punctuation, usage and journalistic style, with special sections on reporting business and sports.

Take the 2011 AP Stylebook with you anywhere with this easy-to-use application. This handy app lets you:

- Search listings across all chapters
- Create your own custom entries

- Changes in AP style for email, cellphone and smartphone

Stylebook Mobile is updated annually and the content mirrors what is offered in our spiral-bound printed Stylebook. If you are a student using the 2011 Stylebook as a textbook or if your newsroom follows the 2011 book, you will have identical guidance with this app.

Issues with AP Mobile v4.4 for iPhone

Michael Boord — Tue, 17 May 2011 22:45:08 +0000

It appears that the new 4.4 version of AP Mobile may be having some problems with iOS 4.3.3 that was released almost simultaneously. Since location cache is apparently now deleted by the OS you may need to sync your device with iTunes to re-verify the user account. We apologize for the inconvenience but this issue just started hitting the discussion boards and appears not to be limited to AP Mobile. We are investigating further and will issue a hot fix as necessary.

Users have reported that uninstalling and reinstalling the app seems to do the trick. Also, please email us at iphone_support@ap.org with any information that will help us to fix the issue.

Thank you.

AP Mobile issues on Windows Phone 7 devices

Michael Boord — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 21:20:36 +0000

There have been complaints that the AP Mobile app for Windows Phone 7 is crashing frequently. These problems seem to be correlated with an OS upgrade and most complaints are coming from users with HTC devices that were updated to OS version 7.0.7390.0. There was a significant upgrade build already in the works, which we are expecting to release in the next week or two pending final testing. This should address the crashes as well as several other bugs and performance issues. We apologize for any inconvenience but we are working hard to address the issues and provide a best in class app and experience.

Thank you.
