Apple News was complete garbage IMHO, when I tried it out earlier this year.
I would open some stories and it would give me a few sentences of introduction and then link out to an external website…
Then there are the ads… which I wasn’t expecting to be there a after I paid for the subscription…
For me, it’s a question of value. What value does this have, when I can often get a BETTER experience by just going to Google News feed and selecting individual articles. I can do that for free.
