Not goodThe updates don’t allow users unable to afford newer phones to use the app so it’s useless to me. The updates will not allow use even if I go straight to the web site. 😔
Updated right out my iPadYour upgrades have made your app useless on my iPad. And no options to choose a compatible version. I can't afford a new iPad. So I'll have to stop using AARP. Boo!
Not as AdvertisedThis app is not user friendly or easy to navigate. The pages take forever to load and often freeze the screen. The print is very small which I find ironic as AARP is typically associated with Seniors in mind. The settings menu was incredibly difficult to find and upon arrival it would not allow me…

Stroke SymptomsVery very informative! Thank you AARP!
I love this appThis is how I keep informed on so many topics not just Social Security and Medicare but many other topics that we may not think about every day but have an effect on our daily lives. AARP helps to me expand my knowledge about things l need to enrich my life as a senior citizen. Thanks AARP.
Learning everyday!So many varied topics offered every day! Love the short clips that peak my interest & curiosity…. To dig deeper into a topic I didn’t know I was interested in!
