10 Positive User Reviews for AppleInsider

Font is too small

It’s a good app but font on iPad mini is very uncomfortably small. Practically unreadable. Not everyone has perfect vision. Even with reading glasses and it with the biggest possible settings. To be honest font size adjustment doesn’t do almost anything. It shouldn’t be very difficult to fix and I’m pretty sure I’m not alone, so I don’t know why it’s still this way. Well it makes me read 9to5Mac more than AppleInsider

News is hidden

I didn’t realize for quite a while that there were even new articles. I just thought, man AppleInsider has gone downhill they stopped putting out any new articles. Just now I realized that if you scroll WAY down the page you will eventually come across new news articles. I’m not a fan. I like AppleInsider a lot but this update is not good

New price to much for me

Love this app. Been using for years under subscription. The upcoming price hike is way too much.

My Goto #2

All this talk about too much politics is just shorthand for “I don’t like YOUR politics.” By segregating coverage of the Apple/Politics interface to one segment you’ve done more than enough to meet these snowflakes (as they are fond of calling me) halfway. Keep up the good work. When you mentioned the blowback you’d been getting I subscribed for the first time after listening for many many years. My first listen is always MacBreak Weekly, but that is finished, you’re next. Just love the chemistr

AppleInsider

Love the show and its wide range of topics. Mike ought to get with the program and buy gas with his Apple Watch. I guess Mobil/Exon doesn’t use NFC technology and so Mike has a lot more steps than us Apple Insiders.

Fake ads

Good content, although you can find most of it elsewhere. Annoying fake Facebook notification ads with flashing fake unread message badges ruin the experience.

Not a fan of v3.3

The old layout showing the most recent new articles at the top was better. The new 3.3 version shows the same “Top Story” and then then the same “Featured Stories” and then “Latest News” You know what they say if ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Happy to re-rate the App if changes are implemented. But for now it’s only worth two stars.

Bad UI

The most recent update added a “featured articles” section at the top. I’m not going to scroll around to try to find other new articles. Now I open the app, see the same article and close it. Before the update, the AI app was my go to for Apple related info. If I had an option to just see all the articles chronologically (like a setting option) I would give AI 4 or 5 stars.

Subscription price increase is insane

Been reading AI for years and it has been my “go to” source for Apple news. But a couple of things - * redesigned app - not great. The new “featured stories section hides new News. * the price increase on the subscription - are you guys insane? $9.99/year to $29.99/year as a year over year increase?!? You’re good, but not a 3x increase in annual price good. Buh-bye AI Pro, welcome back to regular AI. 🤯

This app was great, not anymore.

I enjoyed reading Apple News on this app. However it became worse than previous updates.
