Only as good as the content available.
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Apple News has potential, but it is only as good as the news feeds that are available. These are increasingly not good.

Apple - Free Apple News+ for 4 months
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Terrible, apple should stay away from news and focus on what they do best, entertainment video editing and quality products like MACbook and their phones.

for those who want pre-digested news blips
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.selective news stories, which are totally biased. they clip the stories so you can quickly see their point of view, and you won't have to think or be burden deciding what you just saw

Terrible and expensive
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Terrible way to get free news and pay for it. The same service was available for free for many years and now they are charging for it. Not worth it there are many free news sources

would take a hard pass on this
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I get the Apple News feed on my ipad and phone and there is nothing unique to the articles - If something catches my eye, I can find it elsewhere - not worth paying for their curation.

No rewards for loyalty
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Another offer that is for new subscribers only and no rewards if you are a loyal customer already. How about 4 months if you are new and add 2 free months if you are already a subscriber?

Politically correct and nearly useless
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Because the news feeds are moderated by Apple, they filter out actual news (and in some cases, the facts), leaving the user with politically-correct and nutritionally-deficient pablum.

No one buys magazines
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Apple needs to stop trying to make this work. Nobody knows what magazines are nobody cares.

Jokes for subscription
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Curated news as Apple wants you to view the world, it seems like a great idea for a casual holiday or beach read. Not designed for individuals seeking intellect or unguided thoughts.

Useless
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've bought many apple products. Why can't I get credit a 2nd time? It adds no value, they may as just hand them out for free without the purchase

Don’t activate, Not worth it
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The reason they give it for free is it really isn’t worth having. Biased garbage. You don’t need to pay for it when the trial expires. You can get biased news anywhere for free.

Very liberal bias in the news stories they show
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They definitely have a very liberal bias in the news that they show. Make sure you check a variety of sources for your news.

Wouldn’t Activate!!!
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I could not access this!!! What a BIG DISAPPOINTMENT!!! Somehow if you didn’t activate immediately, you can’t get it. Even Geek Squad could not activate it for me!

Support existing customers too!
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There needs to be a benefit for existing users too. By this point we’re all existing users and no one is getting any benefit from a 4 month trial for new users only.

Google News This is Not
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Meh. Even as a free subscription, it's not great. Stay Android, Stay w/free Google News. Not even going to use the free service; def would not pay for a subscription.

wasn't able to use it
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Would have loved to utilize this product. Apply news is great but I didn't even know Best Buy offered me four free months and so I wasn't able to use it.

Apple
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Came free with a purchase so I’m not sure how good it is as I’ve never used the service

Item of jo use
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Can only be used once and this is a gimmick to make you think you are getting something free. I’ve used this so long ago so stop offering to folks who cannot use it again.

No use
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not very useful as it is only valid for new subscribers only. They started giving it out for every single purchase I made, so I got 4 of these in a month, but of no use.

It’s ok
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like Apple news but I don’t understand why they charge for it I am using the trial period since I bought an Apple iphone but still to charge for a news feed I wouldn’t buy it.
