10% news, 90% articles hocking products

The first few articles are legitimate news and useful information. Everything else is food recipes and trash

Great

Excellent

Pretty great, but with one obnoxious flaw

There are a lot of things to love about this app but this one stupid bug is driving me nuts and I can’t believe it keeps persisting through many updates that supposedly include bug fixes. As I scroll down reading a story, it suddenly jumps down a few paragraphs for no reason and I have to scroll back up to find my place. It happens constantly on Apple News but not on Safari or any other app so I’m sure it’s not my phone.

Another monthly bill

Too many blocked articles.

Hate Reviews

I hate giving a rating or writing a Review. News is fine.

Not VPN Friendly

When I have VPN on, app stutters, locks up, and tells me that there is no internet. At the same time any other app I try will connect.

Fees

It is disappointing to have more and more stories requiring subscription fees.

Paid Subscription w/ Ads

I understand that this paid subscription gives access to some good magazines and articles, but usually a paid subscription will get you an ad-free experience. Not so with Apple Meows. The ads also happen to be some of the most distracting I have ever seen.

The worst

It’s just bad

Most articles require an upgrade to read

It’s become even more pointless to open the app since most of the good or decent articles require you to pay for the upgrade.

Five out of Five Honks

If you think the collection of “journalists” in this apps many CIA backed publications are truth tellers, you are the type who burned every bridge with free thinking friends and family only to be left on the Island Of Misfit Toys who have their NPC firmware updated with the only acceptable views via daily over air firmware updates. Don’t believe me? Ask one of your Womb having bro’s what major issue they have a totally opposite view on via social media where the other ghouls with skin burritos beards that make Rabbi Schmuley’s facial hair look like Tom Selleck

Unhappy

I always enjoyed Apple News. However, now certain news providers have separate charges. I can no longer get all articles.

Annoying jumping forward when reading

I don’t like that the stories often jump ahead while I’m reading and I have to scroll back up to find the part I was reading. I think it’s loading ads below where I’m reading. The app hasn’t always done this.

I also hate the video ads, they are distracting and I have to pause them.

News for libs only

Apple News is brainwashing propaganda at best. One sided anti American libs running this mess of a service. Hard pass.

I hate it

What really irritates me is that I am unable to rid the newsfeed of publications that I have already blocked but the feed is still littered with articles from those publications.

News for the left

This site has Trump Derangement syndrome

I love this so much vro

I love the science section and the recipes look so good it is so interesting and I know what’s going on in the world now XD some of it is super funny but there are ones that look cool but I can’t read or play them because of News+ can you make less stories news+ plz

Mainly one sided

Would be a better app if it had unbiased news coverage from both sides of the aisle. There are apps that show what people missed on the left and right side. But Apple News is always geared towards the left…always! Nothing like living in an echo chamber of thoughts

Unbiased reporting

Keeps me well informed

Free news?

Apple, you're going downhill think about losing your customers
