9to5Mac — Breaking Tech News

You gotta be joking with this limited reading articles and after 3 I have to open in the browser. Literally barely open the app now. Just keep the ads in the app. Another thing opening the comments brings it up in safari. Like who thought this was an improvement. Was the app just abandoned?

The app is good for browsing articles but it is annoying to have to open my browser to view articles since I don’t subscribe. It would be nicer for everything to be in-app.

This was a good place to get news. Now it’s worthless. Get Apple Insider. It’s free and and has better information.

This is the best Apple / Mac news app around and I’m supporting it by subscribing. However, although I subscribe, the app still thinks I’m a free user and limits the articles I can read. I’ve emailed several times about the problem and get no response. Again, I have no problem being a subscriber and I’d like to be one for their entire suite of apps, but this bug needs to get squashed, otherwise there is no point in continuing.

This has been one of my absolute favorite apps to use over the years. The app not only provides valuable updates and news, but also takes chances on reporting early rumors, allowing for discussion. But recently, the app has become a money grab. We understand that developers and contributors need to make a living, so I was fine with the app going behind a paywall IF you blocked direct ads through the iPhone. Otherwise, it should have remained functional. Now, every story has an advertiser, including the most recent one which blurs out images of all the stories. These are all distracting and has taken away from the purpose of the app.

Now this app is filled completely with ads. Now they have another ad for the pictures so that everything is blurry and that did it for me.

Was a great app when it was free.

Before it was ads, now you only get 3 articles to read before being hit with a paywall. Uninstalled

I signed up for a paid subscription to the iOS app. Neither the iPhone, nor the iPad app consistently recognize my subscription. I have to force quit the app, select restore purchase and jump through all sorts of other hoops to try to get it to recognize my subscription, otherwise it locks me out of reading articles. if you’re going to charge a subscription fee, then your payroll needs to be functional.

The app is pretty much pointless now if you’re not getting a premium account. You're probably better off using AppleInsider
