Apple News

Apple selective news. This ‘news’ app is appalling. Yup, if you choose not to follow a news app then take it away. The app is stacked in the advertisers favour. Where is the proper news? Where is the interesting stuff? Again, appalling app. Steer clear

This app is constantly telling me it is offline when everything else is working. It is incredibly frustrating and I will be cancelling my subscription if this doesn’t get sorted.

Since iPadOS 18.2 on 7th gen News just sits forever on loading. No fix. Lots of posts with same issue, model and version.

My News app has stopped working on iPad gen 7 after updating to iOS 18.2 !!!

I used to like this app - it showed me things I was interested in and was a good place to see what was going on in main stream media. However it’s become rubbish. By far most of the stories I am shown are on News + so only for subscribers. Today there were literally 11 articles I could read, 13 I couldn’t and then was told I’m up to date. Of the 11 I could read, only a couple were of any interest. Rather than this tactic making me want to pay. It makes me not want to bother with the app at all. Is that the plan?

Useless app

This whole app is unbelievably poor in its implementation and content.

Considering that all Apple News does is ‘curate’ a load of stories from other news sites, you’d think it would be easy to provide a news feed that their users might actually be interested in. But no, it doesn’t matter how many stories I like or dislike, it’s always the same feed of 90% tabloid slop that I really don’t care about. And if I want to go so far as to block a news source, I don’t want a placeholder left there saying ‘you blocked this channel’ - I just want it gone. I tried News+ for a bit and it had more magazine content than I could ever read in a year, let alone a month, so there’s that I guess.

I’m bombarded with awful adverts with distraught faces. The adverts are so unnecessary. Please remove.

Day One. I spent ages, and I mean ages, going through the categories section choosing topics and magazines, creating a long list of interests. However, all of a sudden the app closed out. When I reopened Apple News, all my chosen topics were missing, bar 5 or 6. So much wasted time 😠 Not wanting to be beaten, I decided I’d start my selection over. But (not for want of trying) I cannot find the screen where this is done! I’m baffled! It’s vanished. At least it seems this way. The UI and UX is confusing and the app itself is unstable. Thank god I’m not paying for this!
