The news isnt real
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The media is really lame, but that’s not Apple’s fault I guess. This is better than paying any of them directly. Still, you’re probably better off not reading any of this garbage.

It's free...so there's that
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's free during the promo but i still don't find myself using it. Maybe others will find better value but i definitely will not renew after the promo expires.

I've used better
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Once again Apple's version of daily news. I actually prefer Google News app better because of how the content is laid out for the viewer.

Probably not worth if you know where to look
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think you can get better news from going directly to the source, but Apple offers organized content. I'm not sure I'd pay for this. I did get the free trail.

Apple News
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not really a fan of apple news. They have a lot of magazines and newspapers, but some of the most important (e.g. NYT) are not included.

It’s ok
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice it was free but I don’t use it that much. Don’t like it on a device but would rather use. Paper product like a newspaper or magazine.

A bit confusing on what’s paid content.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I already don’t watch news and this didn’t help. I’m not sure what am I paying for. Don’t let me stop you from using this.

It’s okay. Not great.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s nice to get a free subscription but I don’t think I’ll be renewing. Much better sources of news and periodicals on the web.

Pretty good, if free

Forget about this, non-Apple users
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been getting daily emails from Apple News for several years. It gives brief recaps of major news stories and I find a lot of them of interest. So when I received this Best Buy offer for a free subscription to Apple News+, I jumped on it. When I got the email to confirm my subscription and download it, I got a big surprise - it works ONLY ON APPLE DEVICES. So if you have an Android phone and Windows computer like me, you are out of luck. I did not even know of this until I was having trouble downloading Apple News+ and searched Google and found it works only on Apple devices. I don't remember seeing any information on the offer that an Apple device is required.

News
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hard to give any news a high star nowadays. It seems like there is always a agenda or narrative they want you to believe. I’ll still use my 6 months free and check it out.

Didn’t find it much different than not having it
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I read a lot of apple news. rarely do I actually want to read the apple plus stories enough to pay for it. Canceled before the trial ended
