Apple News+ is Pretty Nice
This morning I signed up for Apple News+ - and I have to say, it's pretty nice. Sure, it's having some growing pains this morning - the News app in iOS 12.2 is crashing a bit when it can't talk to the servers at Apple HQ, but that will get worked out. For the little time it was stable this morning, I was really impressed with the offerings - some things I have paid for in the past, but just haven't kept up with, and others I've always wanted to have available to read:
- Scientific American
- Time
- Runner's World
- The Wall Street Journal
- Bloomberg Businessweek
- The New Yorker
- The Atlantic
- Flying
it's a list that keeps going, and it's really impressive. Sure, it's more than $30/yr - but that's for one magazine, and I can carry these all with me in my pocket on my phone. It's really just amazing.
Now, I've been reading a lot more on the News app because I just can't stand Facebook any more, and this is a lot better place to get news - it's a known source, and that's something I find I don't like about all the stuff you find on Facebook - you just can't trust it.
I'm not sure about the other services they introduced yesterday - except the Apple Card. That's something I'll get because of the Daily Cash Back that I can use because I put so much of my life on my Quicksilver card with 1.5% cash back. This is just a better deal.
Can't wait for the Summer when they get that going...
