18. News App Critique

-


 




I am critiquing the Apple News app that already comes equipped with iPhones. When the app is loaded you are presented with 5 categories of news at the bottom of the screen. These categories reading Today, News, Sports, Audio, and Following. One cool feature the app has is in the "following" tab they have listed special coverages and categories that are suggested from Siri.
One downside to the app is they really promote their "AppleNews+". With the + feature you are able to see more news and more in-depth news. I wish there wasn't a membership deal that came with the app. I feel as if you should be able to use the apple news app for free since you have already bought the apple product. 
I enjoy that the app has an audio tab. In this tab you are able to actually listen to the news instead of reading. This can be beneficial for people while they are busy or working. They will still be able to listen to the news. 


The AppleNews app has its flaws, but overall, it is a very beneficial app to have. You are able to access news in various ways and it gives you various categories of news to read as well.

      Most kids when introduced to High School sports such as baseball want to become professional players at that sport. What most kids don't know when in this thought process is how little the percentage is of people who go professional In this chart it shows the percentage of players from high school who make it to the MLB. Now if you even are drafted there is a high chance that you will stay in the minor league and never reach the MLB. I am one of those kids that want to be in the MLB one day. I took my first step into the path by playing college baseball at Southern Arkansas University. With hard work and dedication, I believe I can one day be a part of the statistics that did make it.
