Texture Shuts Down Following Launch of Apple News+

I signed up for News+ yesterday to check it out and frankly, I do not see much value. I hope it improves and quickly.

There is a really small number of publications available, it's almost impossible to search for publications, publications you have viewed seem to sit side-by-side with those you follow. Overall, it feels like a great big mess.

I hated the old news app because I felt like I had had no control over what I saw and this new incarnation feels the same. I'm canceling my sub until they sort this thing out. Ugh.

We had Texture and loved it. Much easier to use than News+. Your favorite mags were at your fingertips and would download automatically.

News+ is poorly organized and hard to get the magazines you want at your fingertips. May have to drop it. Needs a lot of work.

I seriously can’t think how someone subscribes to this thing. I hate subscriptions in general, but this is beyond unappealing...

Gone is the simplicity of choosing a magazine off the “digital” rack, the new apple news apps confusing layout makes it a scrambled mess. Cancelled my subscription, looks like an opportunity for a future magazine app more like texture.

People who like to read magazines?

I used to subscribe to GQ, PopSci, National Geographic and was looking at getting a Toronto Star subscription. For the price of 2 of these magazines, I get dozens of others that I’m also interested in. The Star’s subscription alone is $12/mo. Apple News+ is a fantastic value.

The app could use some work but they’ve already corrected some of the major quirks in a recent point update.

I used to pay $2 a month for the magazines I wanted with Next Issue through my cell provider. Then they went to Texture. Now this. Not a chance.
