Frankly I’m getting to the point that News’ lack of usefulness means that I’d just rather do without any news, including the latest in what Apple is doing. Revert to being as good as Apple news was, because at least you’ll get SOME engagement, as it now is, Apple News is tanking. I’ve binned all of my other news apps but it looks like Apple news will go the same way. You can follow the topics and news sources you’re most interested in, give individual stories a thumbs up or thumbs down, and save the searches and stories you’re most interested in. I also appreciated the extensive search options, which include subcategories, recommended sources, and relevant articles—all of which means you’ll get more relevant news the next time around.

Where relevant, podcasts, tweets, and videos can be embedded alongside news stories. When you sign up for inkl, you’ll get a Read First article and intro series that introduces new users to the app—which I thought was a nice touch.

You can also connect your Twitter account (and your iOS and Google contact lists) and see the links that people you follow are linking for a more personalized selection. A premium version of the “read later” app with a permanent library and suggested tags for better organizing is either $4.99 per month or $44.99 for a year. With the premium plan, you also get custom articles recommended to you based on your reading habits, among other things. For instance, it comes with a personalized Blindspot feed that helps suggest news topics you might be missing in your normal news diet.
