    Worthwhile trial

    I had already used a Free Apple News+ trial but I was able to snag 3 months. If you have already had a trial maybe they'll give you a few months too. Apple and Best Buy are great! Apple News+ is good way to consume digital news. They have content from many sources. They also offer some magazines. I've been reading a free news app called Flipboard for years. Flipboard has a lot of ads and pay walls so I really do get a lot of great content from various sources and topics from Apple News+. I read them both in the late morning and then before bed. It's always nice to get a lengthy trial to see if it's something you willing to pay for every month as it's subscription based. I'm considering keeping the subscription going as that says a lot as I've been canceling most free trials before it's time to pay. On a final note if you do decide to keep Apple News+ they offer different packages with their other offerings. It saves money when you bundle something like Apple Music and Fitness.

    Must Have

    The Apple News+ monthly fee gets you access to more than 200 popular magazines that cover a wide range of categories, including health, style and beauty, lifestyle, sports, finance and business, cars, entertainment, food, hobbies, home and garden, kids and parenting, news and politics, outdoors, science and tech, and travel. Both past and current issues from a number of magazines are included. Based on a spot check, past issues seem to be available from March 2018 on, so no magazine is offering a full collection of past content. March 2018 is when Apple purchased Texture, the service that Apple News+ evolved from.

    There is nothing negative at all to say about this product, considering the fact that it is an excellent offer to have a 4 month free digital subscription of Apple News+ for new subscribers which Best Buy offers. I used this subscription on my iPhone for reading the extremely informative news articles and magazines offered with Apple News+, and found the trial as a great way to experience what Apple News+ has to offer for a 4 month period. All in all, I would wholeheartedly recommend this for anyone interested in trying out Apple News+ for a 4 month period for free, as a new subscriber.

    We're not super "Techy" or anything! It was my husband's birthday and I wanted to get him a gift that wouldn't just sit on-top of his closet collecting dust. I read the review and decided to go for it. Best gift ever!! Super easy to connect and amazing sound. My husband is also one of those people that doesn't take care of his things very well. He's dropped it, lost it and submerged it. And it still works perfectly!!!! I would buy 100 more!!! Love it!!

    I am actually pleasantly surprised. I would never spend my own money on a service like this, especially when free Google News is just as informative and widely available. However, this is actually really good! The layout is nice and the news articles are awesome. I don’t see myself renewing this when it’s time to pay, but I also wouldn’t think one was crazy if they wanted to renew. Take advantage of the free offer if you have it, because it’s definitely a good product.

    Unless you want to spend more money after the free trial period is over- don’t sign up. You’re not going to want to cancel if you enjoy reading the news and magazines. This product has a bit of a clunky interface but once you figure it out - if you’re like me you’ll spend hours reading magazines and news articles from all over. There is an impressive amount of publications and I can always find something to read. I love this product.

    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. This guide covers everything that you need to know about Apple News+, from pricing and availability to news sites and magazines included.

    I am taking these four months to evaluate Apple news plus. Without this I probably would not have tried it and I can say it is very interesting to be able to read various magazines and news articles in one place. Not quite sure if this is worth $10 a month which is why I only gave it four stars but considering I am in the first month of use I will see what I think at the end of the trial period for the cost of free definitely worth a try.

    I am really glad that I took advantage of this free offer. I would not have tried Apple News otherwise, and now I will be renewing the subscription when it expires. The range of options is really diverse with something for everyone in the family, and with the Apple family sharing option, everyone can enjoy the subscription for one price. Thank you Best Buy

    Super convenient to get so many issues and magazines at your finger tips. Love being able to dig into my favorite magazines at a swipe of my finger. Entertainment weekly is the best to get the latest on movies and TV. Sports.... get yours here. So much to explore for the cost of 1 magazine a month. If you like to read, get this deal!

    I typically use the Free tier but the paid tier adds a lot of content. The best paid content was typically Wall Street Journal. Would definitely pay for subscription if it were closer to $3-$5/month. Enjoyed the free trial from Best Buy though.

    Tried during the review period and enjoyed it. Ultimately, I did not renew because I did not feel I was using it enough to justify the price.

    This was a great deal made me enjoy this feature on my iPad. The ability to read so many Newspapers, Magazines and so on. I'd kept the service but can't at the moment. Though I miss having it when I click an article and can't see it unless i subscribe to that Magazine or the service.

    I am a news junkie, so I was excited to get this free offer and be able try out Apple News. The typical trial offer isn't as long as the one offered by Best Buy, so this will give me enough time to fully evaluate whether I want to extend the service beyond the trial period.

    I like having a variety of publications and news sources from which to choose. I can confirm/compare stories by checking multiple news outlets. There are also more publications than I can effectively read. I know there will always be something of interest - all paperless!

    Thank you Best Buy for a free 4 month Apple news + subscription. Instead of using the tree one month trail we can instead redeem this. Saves you money for 3 additional months. Cannot wait to begin using it. Many of the magazines that I like have their subscription included.

    This a great for enjoying many magazines. Apple News+ includes ton of magazines to choose from like Entertainment Weekly and People. Great if you don't want to have to pay for magazine subscriptions anymore. Hope they come out with a bundle deal with Apple TV+ and Apple Music.

    Simple with fast learning interface. You can select the type of news from different sources and view the content of most magazine it offers. This 4 month trial period with bestbuy after purchasing an electronic toothbrush is a great benefit in opening my BestBuy Card.

    I’ve Lways been hooked on the news my iPhone 11 shows. But am always upset when the best stories are blocked out because I don’t have Apple news. This has been an awesome opportunity to try it risk free. But I am 100% being a subscriber when my trial ends.
