Ratings and Reviews
Keeps me in the know of most events
This is an informative app n newspaper, only thing I wish they would show more positive news. When every news circuit runs the exact same things, it can be negative overflow. But, in terms of having factual data of all the craziness in the world today it’s key. Especially since it’s time to be active voters and stop our country from going bk to the dark ages. I usually don’t comment on politics, but in light of all the evil going on now. All I can say is if you stand for a gov’t that’s constantly taking things away, or are ruling through unhanded n unfair practices, then you stand for nothing. When has moving backwards ever won any races? What mks OUR US great, Is that despite the inequality, evils, mismanagement of pwr; we at the moment are founded on believing in striving 4 rights. N that should be EVERYONE’s rights 4 life, liberty n justice. Have your opinion or view, but when you seek 2 control, abuse n divide then your opinion changes 2 an unGodly action. No matter where you’re from, race, color or creed at the base of everything we’re humans. We all want the same basic thing: a home, food, clothing, good surroundings n education 4 our children, good health n transportation. There is 2 much wealth in this world that everyone can’t have a piece of the American dream. So, vote n pray, pray, pray because if we ever needed Jesus it’s now.
If the app stops being active it loses back trail, and still accessibility issues
Sometimes you can drill very far down the list of related articles, but still want to go back a few to drill down another path of related articles and so on. If somebody calls, or you have to open a banking app, whatever, news tends to be one of the first apps that the phone deactivates in the app switcher. So then when you go back you lose your entire back trail, and the best you can do is grab some articles from your history. Unfortunately, it seems that with history, the related links change.
News has always had accessibility issues with voiceover. The rotor changes it’s ordering of items; when video or social media posts are embedded in articles, as they are increasingly these days, strange behavior occurs such as jumping back to the top of the article or acting like it’s the end of the article (things that sighted users would never put up with). Sometimes advertising in the articles also causes reading to stop or loop or get stuck.
This App Obliterates My Battery
Before we get to the headline of the review, let’s talk about some other highlights of the app. First, as an Apple One Premier subscriber you get the privilege to be served the same ads in the news feed and in the articles themselves as those who do not pay for the service. Not to mention, several content providers still require direct subscriptions to their service. Second, customization options don’t exist beyond “block this content” style options. You would think your thumbs up and down votes influenced what shows up in your feed, but it doesn’t. I still see the same thumbed down articles for days. Further, sections I don’t want to see still show up in my feed. Additionally, there is no option to show I’ve already read an article before. This could further assist in content customization, but it isn’t even available. Third, I find news doesn’t sync between my devices, especially thumbs up/down.
So, let’s talk about that headline. Even when left in the background - and this is with background refresh off - this app completely drains my battery. It accounts for 52% of my battery usage and I have an average screen time usage of an hour and 38 minutes over the past 10 days. For. All. My. Apps.
Finally, for a company that touts their tight integration between hardware and software as well as their seamless experience across devices; I find Apple completely missed the mark here.
