Fitness, Music, Apple TV, Arcade, and even News are all fine at their price point.
Apple News is the most affordable way to access paywalled mainstream news
TV has decent shows
Games has decent games without IAP
Music is decent without ads
Fitness has gotten me in shape at a fraction of the cost of Les Mills or Beach Body
Agreed. I used to subscribe to the WSJ and WashPo and I cancelled both because I get both in Apple News. Plus I get the Atlantic, New Yorker, Wired and so many other magazines.
The user interface sucks. Sometimes I go to the actual websites to find articles and then search for them on Apple News. But for $13 USD a month, its a huge bargain and worth the crappy interface.
Another thing that kinda helped me was that Apple News doesn't give you access to the comments sections in these publications. Reading comments in the WSJ was just a huge rage-bait time suck and my life is probably better off not seeing that stuff.
