Apple News<\/a>+ seems to be floundering just months after its launch, according to new details from participating magazine publishers shared by Business Insider<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>

Multiple publishers have been unimpressed with the revenue generated from Apple News+. One told Business Insider<\/em> that revenue was one twentieth of what Apple promised, while another said that it was on par with what was earned from Texture, which isn’t much.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

This implies Apple News publishers are making half of what they did with Texture, which is impressively bad. (10x\/20 = .5x)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Apple made a big deal about WSJ, for example, being part of News+, but if I understand correctly the index of articles is not included, so you can’t browse the content listing. You’re left with inbound links and whatever they push into the News+ feed.<\/p>\n

Gotta pony up for the feed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Chance Miller<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Last month, Eddy Cue said that Apple had “hundreds” of people working to make Apple News+ better. Apple News+ is currently available in the United States and Canada, but it’s expected to launch in the UK this year as well.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

You know what what would make Apple News better? This…<\/p>\n

• Let me delete my downloaded mags.
\n• Show new issues in sidebar list of my subscribed mags.
\n• Give the Mac version support for multiple windows or tabs—no more of this one-window iOS bullcrap.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Jumping to the topic of Apple News+, Cue stated that one of Apple’s big goals right now is to convince younger people to subscribe to the service.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
