Ratings and Reviews
Still facing paywalls from Australian newspapers
What is the point of paying a premium price for news subscription in Apple platform and then you get paywalls within the app? Apple made deals with these Australian newspapers through government arrangements and I’m not sure if this was meant to allow Australian newspapers to put their paywall stuff on the Apple News app.
Australian newspapers cannot have their cake and eat it. Subscribers are already paying for news content through Apple and this platform should not have paywall content. This is not the platform for paywall the idea of a news app is to aggregate content and pay one fee.
This is totally unApple.
I clicked a link for a free trial and got charged $20
I wanted to see one short Courier Mail article and wondered if I could use Apple News. I saw there was a free trial so I clicked the link. I didn't realise the free trial link went directly to purchasing an over priced paid subscription and immediately asked for a refund. They denied my request and appeal, saying only that it was ineligible but I think the ombudsman will have a different view of such deceptive practices. They can see that I requested a refund within a few minutes of the purchase so it’s beyond me why they would deny the refund request.
The short courier mail article I wanted to read was hidden behind a payway within apple news so it was a complete waste of $20 at a point when I can least afford it.
Apple News is one of the most annoying Apple apps that I don't subscribe to. I often see news articles on my iPad and have to click them to find out if it is from a free news source or just Apple trying to squeeze money out of me. I have never been tempted to get an apple news subscription but they finally tricked me with their bait-and-switch scam.
News+? Or News-?
After a week on a free subscription trail I’ve had it with this app. Every article you read comes with ads that force you scroll forever. You cannot tell if you actually reading premium content. To top it off, you don’t even know if you are getting the full stories from the newspapers you follow in Australia.
I live in Adelaide, my local stories are almost exclusively written by the Advertiser, the odd story or two may come from the ABC. The ABC, is of course a free platform. The problem with News corp papers like the Advertiser is, they don’t provide all articles to the News+ platform. So you are playing a lot of money, for about half the content. I have seen Melbournes the Age paper also do this within the app. At least in Melbourne and Sydney, there is so much press coverage, you can consume news for free and know everything that is happening around you locally. For Adelaide readers who feel like they know more about life in the Eastern states, either buy the Advertiser, or follow 7news at 6pm instead.
News+ is a huge flop in Australia. Don’t pay for it.
