Customer Ratings & Reviews

I liked having the premium Apple News service but in a world where there are so many add-on services I can't afford them all. This is great pic for those who want to consume even more news coverage but I had to draw a line somewhere.

This is probably the best promotional offer I have received with a product. I got it for free when I bought a MacBook and it was surprisingly 6 months of free Apple News (instead of advertised 4 months!). There are countless number of magazines that you can access plus many more daily newspapers (like WSJ or WP) that normally give you limited number of free reads per month but are fully included with this package.

Overall I have been enjoying Apple News. The variety of news sources and the ability to quickly switch to another source or article is useful and saves me time. I also recently updated to Apple One and am now actually saving money having my subscriptions combined. Great idea Apple!

Apple news+ never misses a thing are are on trip of all the things that are happening. They have never let me down. If you are one of those people that like to be in know about all the business that don’t affect you but you find interesting and it makes you get that warm and fuzzy feeling inside just because you know what’s going on in every part of the world THEN this is PERFECT for you. Highly recommend.

its pretty good so far i haven't used it as often as i probably could use it but it has definitely served its purpose and has given me a-lot of useful information especially during this pandemic where we are in such uncertain times it has given me a lot of up to date information

Keep up with what’s happening even if it doesn’t affect your life one bit! I like being able to get a little more inside some newspaper and magazine paywalls, it’s mostly worth it. But maybe I should just put the phone down and go walk the dog or play outside.

That's about it, I don't need news for my news... One of the silliest of ideas as a bi-product of Silicon Valley's need for hyper-convenience. In other words, this subscription is a redundancy, but I appreciated the free trial. Wouldn't pay for this.

Apple News+ is okay. Not great. There’s some decent objective articles and stories behind the app paywall, but also op-eds that don’t contribute much value. This was part of a add-on promo. I personally wouldn’t pay for this.

I didn’t actually use the free 4 months as I’m a subscriber to Apple One, but Apple News+ has been nice, especially with the access to various magazines. I’ve been enjoying the Field and Stream and Outdoor Life articles I now have available to me.

This new iPad Pro 12.9 is amazing. The color and movies or shows look great and it worksbettter than any of my previous iPads. I love Apples iPad products and will continue to buy the new versions every few years. This is my 4th in 10 years and I will never buy another brand.

This came free with the purchase of my iPhone. To be honest, I don't think I ever used it. But, I enjoy that Best Buy offers this in conjunction with apple because it does give me the option to try it out to see if it's something I would want to subscribe to!

It’s great to keep up with current events. Not as practical to use as I had expected from Apple. Somewhat of a mediocre app. I suppose I’d recommend. It was free with the phone purchase I made. Certainly will keep it until the free subscription period expires with it.

Apple Music selection is really good and with reasonable prices. This subscription only lasts six months for NEW subscribers then you can't use another promotion like this when you buy Apple products again. It would be a valuable reason to buy Apple products if it would allow you to renew Apple Music with more Apple product purchases not a one time deal.

It seems like there are less and less free new and quality articles to read on the web. I enjoy using my Apple News+ for my information on my iPad mini since it is my main device to web searching anyway. I do plan to pay for the subscription once my 4th month ends.

Posting of content in exchange for compensation of any kind including the receipt of free or discounted products other than through the verified Best Buy Tech Insider Network program, or posting reviews on behalf of the manufacturer of the product being reviewed.

Saves money if you subscribe to many journals--which I do Difficult to sort and find the entire journal. Apple seems to think it knows best what I want to read. Using the current free version but from what I've read it won't become more user friendly if I pay for it;

Apple's $9.99-a-month news service is great if you like magazines and use Apple devices. Apple News+ is a subscription service in the Apple News app that lets you access magazines and paywalled content from some news sites. You have to pay a subscription fee to access Apple News+, and it is an add-on service that lives right alongside Apple's existing free Apple News content.

I don’t always read the news but it is interesting to catch up on what’s going on around me around the world. If you have your location on you get local personalized results. The best thing about having the news is being able to search multiple news channels.

I guess it was okay. I used the free trial but quickly realized too much news about anything stresses me out so I didn’t continue the subscription. It’ll work for you if you take the time to tune it to your liking. I just didn’t want to put forth the effort.

The app is pretty well made and access to a few subscription only outlets is nice, but I find most of the recommended news for me is from freely published sources. I think Google's News app is a better, free alternative with better AI learning for suggesting content.
