Ratings and Reviews
If the app stops being active it loses back trail, and still accessibility issues
Sometimes you can drill very far down the list of related articles, but still want to go back a few to drill down another path of related articles and so on. If somebody calls, or you have to open a banking app, whatever, news tends to be one of the first apps that the phone deactivates in the app switcher. So then when you go back you lose your entire back trail, and the best you can do is grab some articles from your history. Unfortunately, it seems that with history, the related links change.
News has always had accessibility issues with voiceover. The rotor changes it’s ordering of items; when video or social media posts are embedded in articles, as they are increasingly these days, strange behavior occurs such as jumping back to the top of the article or acting like it’s the end of the article (things that sighted users would never put up with). Sometimes advertising in the articles also causes reading to stop or loop or get stuck.
Completely useless for the widgets area
Update.
I know Apple states you may get blocked topics if they're "editor picks" or whatever they call it. But now if I block an obscure news source, like GPFans, it shows up even more. The same story has been in Top Stories for days from this blocked news source. There's no way GPFans, an auto racing National Enquirer type publication, is an editor pick for the same story three days in a row. Even worse, this review is probably useless. I doubt Apple even reads reviews.
OG post.
I love Apple and Apple News, but for use in the widgets area or for trying to view anything in Top Stories, it's dang near useless. You can't stop certain stories from appearing in Top Stories, even if they are topics you have blocked, and you can't stop News+ from showing up, even if you don't subscribe. There are five spots in Top Stories, or six if you count the podcast story at the bottom, which I don't use and can't get rid of. Out of these limited spots, two are usually blocked topics (what's the point of giving me that option?) and one or two are News+ so I can't even see them. If I go into the News app, about every third story is News+, or I get whole sections of stories I can't access. It didn't used to be like this, and I don't know what changed but I'm done now. It's finally pushed me to just start using Google news instead.
Clearly biased news app
I have the paid version of apple news. One of the options is to block publishers you don’t like to read and “like” publishers you do. You would think the point of this is to customize your news feed with articles you would be interested in reading. However it does almost the opposite. It seems apple is intent on pushing their stories regardless of my preferences or directly against my blatant request to block specific channels. Why provide the feature if you are simply going to avoid it. As a company that holds itself as the protector of privacy and rights, this is a sad and obvious example that actions speak louder then words. Case in point, to see how ingrained this was to the algorithm that chooses stories on my main board. I blocked the channel “the Washington post” I also disliked every story they posted for the past 2 weeks. I likewise did the opposite for the daily wire. Liking the channel itself and asking for “request more” on every story they published again for two weeks. What was the result? I still get headline new feed stories with “this article you’ve blocked, would you like to ready it” from the Washington post and still nothing from the daily wire. I get it, maybe you have a clear biased against specific news outlets, but don’t hide behind creating hallow user rights and fake choice options for your readers.
