Hacker News Reader

What makes you feel like they've lost interest in Apple News? I don't use the app much at all so I don't have an opinion but I think it just got a visual overhaul with iOS 11, didn't it? I'm always surprised how many of my friends seem to use it a lot. So I've wondered if it might be a dark horse that we'll all eventually realize is a big deal, like iMessage.

It's not really a secret that Apple News is incredibly popular. Everyone on the publisher side has been talking about how much traffic it drives to their stories for a while now. Journalists even pitch their stories to the Apple News editors to try and get them featured [1].

Ah, I'm behind the times. Thanks!

Personally I don't use it much, but then around the Olympics I checked it out and now use it every single day. It's fantastic.

Apple News is great. I use it more than pretty much any other app aside from Safari.

It’s fast, fluid and presents content in a consistent and attractive way. Better than Flipboard et al it’s even a reasonable replacement to Google Reader (RIP).

It’s a genuine annoyance when a site doesn’t provide a News feed...
