Content Loading Issues

Once this app was amazing and always up to date and now the app fails to load article content. I am always met with the message, “problem loading articles, please check your connection and try again.” This persistent issue makes the app unless for staying updated with the latest news and so I have to fall back on Mac rumors or another outlet not that I don’t like the content from Apple insider but I want the notifications of new updates.

New price to much for me

Love this app. Been using for years under subscription. The upcoming price hike is way too much.

App Needs Some Attention

Perhaps Appleinsider app developers are monitoring some of the feedback. Most recent app version (released nearly 6 months ago), is buggy and continues to have issues opening. “Latest News” screen is blank with an “oops” error that content is not available. With the rollout of recent Apple products/software at the June WWDC, one would think that that an update would have been released to ensure things run smooth.

Plenty of feedback offered earlier from other users, and it seems like there has been a pause from developers in supporting the app. Hoping this changes as Appleinsider has been a good source for news.

From content coverage and speed of posting/publish, 9TO5Mac is another option worth checking out.

$20/year subscription cost increase

No way! CANCELLED!!! More value is needed for $30/year. Especially when the subscript doesn’t even carry over to online reading. No ads and saving favorites is no justification for a $20 increase when the app doesn’t even get updated with needed improvements, editing of many articles and even seasoned writers is shoddy at best - a “fire and forget” approach to journalism, the Search feature is absolutely USELESS at returning even the most obvious results, and more than a few articles each month are published with only the first few lines or paragraphs.

This app was great, not anymore.

I enjoyed reading Apple News on this app. However it became worse than previous updates.

Bad UI

The most recent update added a “featured articles” section at the top. I’m not going to scroll around to try to find other new articles. Now I open the app, see the same article and close it.

Before the update, the AI app was my go to for Apple related info. If I had an option to just see all the articles chronologically (like a setting option) I would give AI 4 or 5 stars.

Articles Won’t Load

This app used to work fine, but now on my iPhone I repeatedly receive a message that “there was a problem loading articles” and to check my connection. The connection is fine. It’s the app that’s not. I hope this is fixed soon as I otherwise have enjoyed the app up to now.

News is hidden

I didn’t realize for quite a while that there were even new articles. I just thought, man AppleInsider has gone downhill they stopped putting out any new articles.
Just now I realized that if you scroll WAY down the page you will eventually come across new news articles.
I’m not a fan.
I like AppleInsider a lot but this update is not good

Not a fan of v3.3

The old layout showing the most recent new articles at the top was better. The new 3.3 version shows the same “Top Story” and then then the same “Featured Stories” and then “Latest News”

You know what they say if ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Happy to re-rate the App if changes are implemented. But for now it’s only worth two stars.
