  • My two cents

    I’m not sure who is responsible, and it may not be Apple News Today’s fault, but I’m extremely frustrated that there are more stories that require a subscription than what I can read. I no longer rely on ANT (Apple News Today) for even a quick news flash for what has happened overnight, during my day and the last site I look at before going to bed.

    Very disappointed. Not everyone can - or wants to - spend $$ for a resource for news. It’s heading like charging people for water at a food market. I’m not suggesting you don’t charge people to read news stories that are “extra” like People Magazine but I feel strongly about being unable to teach my kids to be a good citizen or become familiar with what’s going on around the world. We are privileged in the USA for a lot of life wants and needs. Teaching kids to read, comprehend and having an age appropriate discussion is really difficult at best when they see a headline but turn to me all the time and “give up” because they are confused by a (mis-)leading headline.

    Oh well, hope you read my entire post. Thanks for your time.

  • Why does Apple have the worst app on the App Store?

    I initially liked the convenience of all my favourite news articles in one place on my iphone that I could quickly scroll through, digest, compare and then get on with my day. But having to scroll past so many terribly airbrushed AI generated pictures and fake ads at the end of every paragraph makes the whole reading experience excruciating. Many times I’ve given up on reading an article in Apple News because of all the intrusive fake pictures.

    I have stuck with this app for as long as I possibly could but Apple has succeeded in turning me away from digital news consumption. I now have a strong desire
    to find a newsagent (if any still exist) and pay cash for an actual oversized paper copy of my daily mail news so I can once again
    enjoy the reading I experience!

  • Terrible and constantly getting worse

    This app is so frustrating. The suggest more or less (thumbs up and down) do nothing, pretty much half of everything is behind paywall these days (even things that aren’t behind paywall on a web browser) if I block a publication, its stories still appear (just without the picture), and, to top it all off, when I do use the thumbs down, block or scroll past things I’m not interested in, they persist in the line up for days, weeks, sometimes even months, so I continuously have to keep scrolling by them. I’ve put up with this for so long because I liked the simple interface better than alternatives I’d tried before, like Flipboard or News360, but recently I’ve started searching for alternatives again.

    Funnily enough, last weekend my husband was web browsing next to me and I looked over to see what he was up to; his search was for “Apple News Alternatives”. Neither one of us had mentioned to the other how annoying we’d been finding it yet, but we’d obviously been feeling the same way.

    We know Apple could fix the problems with the app, but they don’t seem to have the desire—it feels like they are more interested in the publications and advertisers that pay them to be in Apple News than their customers’ user experience. It seems they’re so confident in their standing that they don’t realise customer satisfaction still matters.
