    Good summary for the day. Manages to pull all the right stories.

    Apple lied to Best Buy, I assume. The period it's available ends January 21. So unless you bought this or got this with purchase is four months before that, that's the only way you get four months. I now get one month. Very disappointing.

    Lots of great news content, could use a bit of an interface overhaul and some better ability to search for content.

    Tested in for a few months, but Spotify is better. Apple Music seems to have a smaller library vs Spotify.

    Can't say it's better than other news it's okay. After this promotion is over I don't think I'll be renewing.

    Did not like apple news. No live stream that I could find and almost sounded like a meditation station.

    Nice bonus from Best Buy, I just wish Apple News wasn’t so biased in their focus.

    Nope. Even free, this isn't worth it

    We signed backup for Apple News+ via this free promo, and honestly I've opened the app twice since we signed back up. Its not worth it, even at free, and I've thought about just cancelling my free membership so I don't have to remember to cancel it before it goes paid 3 months from now.

    I’d recommend Apple News + if you’re a busy professional with little time wand wants one app to catch up with the news with. Otherwise I find the top stories presented to be mostly irrelevant. The content behind the paywall is not justifiable spending money on.

    Imposible to figure out and Apple continues to charge you even if you never activated the news+ on an apple device, just ordering it through best buy is considered the "activation" date

    Pretty useless for me. Every media in it is slanted way left and very dishonest. A bad deal even if it was offered for free. No propaganda for me. I got it from a free offer from Apple and one look was too much for me.

    Not happy that I cannot use this add-on due to the fact that I subscribed for one month a long time ago. The “new subscriber” requirement is not cool.

    I to this day have not been able to use this. There is a problem trying to activate it on my iPhone. I am giving a bad review because Apple should not make this so difficult to redeem.

    The spam you so bad just to read articles that are free on other aggregators. Got this trial just to turn the spam off, but realistically I would not review.

    Apples News is pretty good. Not great for the value.
