8 of 29Like so many things that were once good and useful, this app is now ruined by a paid subscription and is only useful for headline scanning and an occasional “free” story that’s mostly useless. Likely removing the app soon. Apple News without a subscription is far better now.
Not paying to read the news.
Most of the stories are accessible only if you subscribe to the selected articles 🤷🏽♂️
Most of the content has turned into subscription only. Leaving for a different news app 👋🏻
Can we not just have a free news app? Does everything have to be a money grab?
I’ve finally pulled the trigger and deleted the app. The decision to hide articles behind paywalls may make NBC some money but it will also cause it to lose long term followers. Deciding that only paying customers should have access to certain articles is very concerning. I will seek out a new source to stay up to date with current events.
Half of the articles are behind a paywall.
No longer any use since you have to pay for most important stories. Making money hand over fist and now trying to make us pay for basic news. DELETED!
