Ratings and Reviews
Come on, Apple. This news app is a mess.
With all due respect, you can do way better with this app. There should be zero advertisements. If I thumbs down or dismiss a news source / story, don’t show me “you’ve blocked this” as a placeholder from a news source I’ve blocked. If I thumbs down an article, I don’t want to see anything associated with that article / topic / subject.
Notifications are random and don’t notify me of breaking news from sources I follow. I think because I’ve disabled the setting on my iPhones system settings that allows me to see news from my sources only, it has hindered the apps ability to give me notifications.
There are many complaints here saying pretty much the same things as me. No idea why you don’t address the above? Apple sees itself at the pinnacle of hardware development and most first party apps are unparalleled. This first party news app mirrors that of other low quality, ad infested apps that are here on the App Store.
Awful for so many reasons
Infected with ads even if you subscribe to News+. No ability to order topics in any meaningful way - no facility for breaking news or headline news from preferred sources. Even when blocking unwanted sources, the news feed still gets populated with stories I have no interest in from sources I don’t want. If you block a source, in Top Stories it will leave a black square telling you the story is blocked - and would I like to see it anyway? Baffling. Also mixing news items with magazine articles and pushing News+ articles everywhere interspersed with ads makes for a chaotic mess of irrelevant articles.
The whole thing is disorganised and confusing. The bottom line is that if you spend five minutes with the app, the chances are you won’t be sure that you have been served the main stories of the day, some stories will be repeated but from different sources, you’ll have no idea which stories are more significant than others, and when there are relevant articles they are buried amongst a pile of stories you aren’t interested in from sources you don’t want to see.
There are other News apps out there that do this so much better. Give me curated headlines from sources I explicitly specify, have them in some kind of order, don’t repeat news items and keep the interface clear from clutter, ads and irrelevant topics. It shouldn’t be that hard……
Awful
It’s not often I have such a negative experience with an Apple app or product but Apple News is amongst the worst news apps on any digital marketplace or website. Content is key for a news app and much of the “news” provided skips over many of the important news stories of the day in favour of celebrity gossip and irrelevant stories with no real way of filtering it or turning it off, countless times have I told the app I don’t want to read stories by a particular news outlet only for it to pay no attention at all and keep sending me celebrity gossip and pointless gossip stories and clickbait. Most of the stories worth reading are locked behind a pay wall with no real way of telling which are and aren’t, I thought mostly articles from known magazines would be a part of Apple news + but current affairs are too when really the most important up to date actual news should be up front and fundemental to the app with all the other stuff being in a separate tab that you can subscribe to. Also, ads, now I understand why they are there in the (far superior Google News) but we pay a premium to Apple for their products and Apple claim they like privacy but these third parties must be getting some info on us.
Avoid at all costs
