## Apple News Reviews in Canada

### *---- "Mediocrity personified"
Stale week-old stories, product review puff pieces for commission masquerading as “news”, and an app that incessantly crashes. Apple could do way, way better. This is kind of junky.
-- birdtrane, 2025-09-16

### ***-- "Too much"
AN is marked by an overreliance on the Wall Street Journal op-ed pieces.
-- eafteri, 2025-09-09

### *---- "Ads that seem like news articles"
Some news articles are just ads. It’s annoying.
-- robisverybad, 2025-09-09

### *---- "Ads = Failure"
Stop showing us so many ads. I get a better reading experience with a browser and a plugin. Phew, my eyes.
-- Odd Whale of Burgundy Sea, 2025-09-03

### ***-- "Navigation issue"
Seems to happen frequently, im reading a story from notifications, and I accidentally swipe away from it.  When I try to return to the story, I get a list of new stories instead.  Then, because I clicked the link in notifications, it’s no longer there.  I guess I’ll never finish reading that story.
-- gene2u, 2025-08-21

### *---- "limited"
Pretty much cant read anything without a subscription
-- mikeman98, 2025-08-20

### **--- "(^=^)"
Jesus loves you! 
John 3:16: For God so loved the world, He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. 
Romans 5:8: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 
Jesus, the Lord of all, the Christ Almighty, the Alpha and Omega, the Living Water, the Bread of Life, died for you! Even if you HATE Him, He died for you, knowing that you would hate Him. Jesus knew that He was REALLY hated, and that He’s gonna be hated, but He still died, even for those who do hate Him, even for those who did nail Him on the cross. ✝️✝️✝️ God is three in one. God the Father, Christ the Son, God the Holy Spirit. Jesus has no favouritism, He welcomes you in with open arms (His arms were literally open on the cross). You are created fearfully and wonderfully, and Jesus died for you! I really love to focus on the fact that He died for us, even though He doesn’t need us, He still died for us. While His death is a BIG part of the story, His resurrection is another BIG part. He died for us, and yet rose again,  because satan- a foolish, scared, prideful, jealous, immature, obnoxious, embarrassing red thing, could never hold or keep Jesus-who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. THE ONLY WAY TO THE FATHER, THE TRUTH THAT SETS US FREE, AND THE ONLY LIFE THAT OVERCOMES DEATH IS JESUS. 
John 15:5: Jesus said, I am the vine, you are the branches, he who abides in me, and in him, bears much fruit, for without me you can do nothing. 
Dont trust my rating!

### *---- "Worst Apple App"
Ads everywhere, even when you pay for News+. Also, doesn’t even respect dislikes and blocks on certain publishers and stories, so what’s the point of that feature?
-- Futurist1c, 2025-08-03

### *---- "Paid Adverts w. Subscription"
Apple News is amazing! I get to pay a premium to access news, AND I get bombarded with ads, many of them rather weird or even gross (would love to post a screenshot or two). 

That’s a great system, Apple, and reflects company hubris and greed well.

I’m cancelling my subscription.
-- ofaring, 2025-08-03

### *---- "Hate the app"
I was just reading the news and then a whole bunch of ads came up when I was scrolling like come on  don’t get the app who ever made the app are idiots
-- New  Is the worst, 2025-08-02

### *---- "Fix Offline Mode When Online"
How long does it take to fix an issue that has been reported multiple times by multiple users? The app shows no internet connection when there is one and all others apps are connected. Do better Apple!
-- Ggefen6, 2025-07-31

### *---- "Emoji game"
This is the worst game. I like the premise but it makes no sense.
-- Iamwhispering, 2025-07-24

### ***** "Amazing"
Works great and runs smoothly with not many ads and very efficient and effective
-- CooIDude9, 2025-07-19

### **--- "Apple should be the industry leader with fact checkers"
What is news in 2025 without fact checking?? That is what I would pay for with news never being so unreliable. 

Apple could set a standard for real news in a world of lies but instead my “recommended” news is garbage 

Honestly, if you can’t get news right how can you get AI right or facts even
-- TheeMorpheus, 2025-07-12

### *---- "No News"
I pay for Apple News … then half the stories I want to read “requires” another subscription  … JOKE !
-- Petie4131, 2025-07-06

### *---- "Rubbish"
OMG! Apple, how can you still not be able to simply add synchronization between devices!!? For such a long time now. You can’t make such a simple thing and trying to make your “own” AI? lol
-- R4T4R, 2025-07-06

### *---- "Abjectly awful"
I am a middle aged man and yet I get shown articles on menopause and vaginal cleaning
-- Obzzzz, 2025-06-28

### **--- "Let us filter out what we don’t want.."
What’s the point of selecting the news providers you care about if all I see is recommended posts and ads from the noisy biased news providers outside my country.
-- fyrespark20, 2025-06-23

### *---- "Insanely overpriced"
Pure madness, like a greed fever dream
-- Bart6743355, 2025-06-21

### *---- "Ads, ADS, and ADS IF you can get it to download a magazine"
Call it ADS
Makes articles unreadable with ads. I counted 38! Ads in one article. Many doubles and triples of the same add. I get it to download magazines reliably, and even if you do i often can’t view them offline while on a flight.

GARBAGE APP
