    stop slamming Trump!
    Really? The pictures you pick of the president makes it obvious that you’re mocking him.

    Worth the time
    Truly value this podcast. I built it in to my morning routine to give me a rundown of what’s going on. I find myself less in the spiral of the new cycles, knowing Apple News is going to cover what I want to know. Which honestly is a HUGE difference nowadays. I am also particularly fond of when they mention stories they’re following because it’s gives you a sense of what’s on their radar.

    Good Content…Pleasant Presenter
    New listener planning to check in each morning. Topics are not always what i would choose but are broad enough to be worth while. Moderator has a good voice and delivery for morning news consumption not heard elsewhere.
  • SlayerSolo
    Ultra Liberal Bias
    I actually like the idea of this format and having it delivered on News+ so that I can get to it quickly on Car Play. Too bad it’s just as biased as MSDNC. All stories are presented from a heavily leftist perspective. The show makes me groan in its insistent use of electorally crushed liberal talking points. The entire media is 95% liberal. Why don’t you try and be different by at least calling it down the middle? I know why…it’s because libs think they’re smarter than everyone else.

    Great Show, Love the Host
    This show is a great way to get a succinct and accurate version of the news if you have limited time in the morning. Even if I don’t get to listen in the morning, I tend to return to the show. The host is great, and the stories are relevant to their target audience.

    Could be better
    I like the idea of a quick new summary for the day. But I would rather more stories covered. Unless cuteness. Like the totally useless, before we let you go some other stories were following. What is the point of that. Just give me the news. As many headlines that you can cover And what timeframe you decide.

    Good Morning
    It’s a very important part of my morning routine. I like Shumita’s polished presentation. I missed her when she was on maternity leave!
  • theboyfromtexas
    Good but leans left
    If you can navigate the bias, well produced. Good host. Good interview clips. So quality is 5/5 and bias is 2/5.
  • Geesey1
    Factual news
    Enjoy that news today is correctly calling out statements that’s are refuted by fact. Like the host too.
  • Bowsertune
    Very professional and informative
    Shumita does a great job with this podcast. I remember when Duarte was on, and I actually like this with her, alone. The storytelling is decent, she has a great voice, and the content (most importantly), has depth. Keep up the great work on this, team.

    My morning go-to
    This is the first show I listen to in the mornings. It is “an essential part of my morning routine.”
  • shersartwork
    Not up to date
    It is Monday morning and the latest is Friday morning
  • Dashed expectations
    Great news digest
    Excellent rundown of the news with Shumita. Hits the important issues at an easy, quick clip. It seems the negative reviews are from those who can’t handle the truth.
  • The Gulf of America is Fake
    Good News Digester
    This podcast is a 9/10. It’s a really good way to get the days major events summarised. It is left-leaning and tends to mostly stick to U.S. politics as opposed to global news, however. Kinda wish they did more neutral stuff as opposed to left-leaning stuff but the majority of their episodes are overly biased.
  • Longaway
    Voice
    I enjoy this polished well voice podcast. Regarding complaints about bias, of course it’s biased. Everything is.
  • Wenaaaaaaaaa🎀🎀🎀
    Ok but…
    I like the show but I get up early on the weekdays and they haven’t posted an episode. Some days when I wake up I can hear the news but some days I cannot. Please post your story at the same time each day.
  • JudgeBrown88
    A little one sided
    Seems like Apple News Today has gotten a little one sided when it comes to political news, particularly with the current presidency. I prefer my political news to be moderate, covering both the good and the bad, but we seem to only hear a very one sided left-biased position.
  • Peter5789
    Too political
    It seems like she is intentionally finding any angle with each story to criticize the current administration. It would be nice if she just reported the news and not her opinion.
  • Johnnyvisions
    Love it
    Love the daily. Seem the negative reviews are the ones that don’t like hearing Trump in a bad light. Hey kids, that the news.
  • JarOfSonicMen
    A great way to start your day informed
    I get up every morning, get a bowl of cereal, and listen to Apple News Today. It’s an enjoyable way to ease myself into the day on my schedule without turning on the TV. When Shumita was out on maternity leave, I was super happy for her, but did miss her voice. We made do, but I was glad when she was back. Love, love, LOVE Apple News Today.
  • Ka4b
    An easily digestible way to stay up to date!
    I love how they present a variety of information, and pull in experts to further explain important details. The show also does a great job of reducing catastrophizing (as much as possible right now) but explaining what these scary breaking news stories really mean for us. It is unbiased (again, as much as possible in this current environment). I love Shumita’s voice as well!
  • Chazerlozz
    NOTHING But Trump Bashing
    I love the concept. Listen every morning on my drive to work. But it's getting SOOO old. All I hear is Trump bashing. Certainly there are other things happening in the world other than Trump Trump Trump. Please provide some news other than what you don't like about the man. Can't believe I still pay for this. And I'm a Democrat and didn't vote for Trump!!!

    My Morning Routine
    Ever since its’ inception, I have listened to Apple News Today every week day. It focuses on getting you the most information without any biased commentary. If you have 15 mins, I would give it a shot.
  • Juanaeliz
    Morning News
    If you only have a few minutes to listen to the morning news then this is for you. I listed to it while making my morning coffee before leaving for work. Short and to the point! We all need this on busy morning.
  • Omar Energy !!!
    Seems biased but curated news
    I usually listen to the podcast on my way home from my shift in the airport, i do enjoy the selection of daily news but seems they focus on all the negative aspects of the current presidency and almost no “good” in general news are talked about. I like Apple News today but be more neutral not only left side of the spectrum. I do appreciate the calm voice of the narration and the music, wish there would be pre recorded episodes for Saturday/Sunday tho 🫥

    Best News Synopsis
    It’s an incredible subsection of news and interesting stories found in Apple News+ articles. Some reviews say it’s too left leaning, but that’s what typically happens with fact-based reporting. Worth noting that Apple News Today is only collating reporting from various Apple News sources. That being said, if you’re a subscriber, this podcast is a no brainer for finding articles to read within the app.
  • bigdaddysdojo
    Too left leaning
    What’s with the spin?
  • Cyberrezz
    Fair reporting, good interviews
    Seen several reviews saying it’s a left-leaning biased show, but it’s hard to not mention Trump and his administration’s buffoonery when it creeps into every single aspect of daily life for people all throughout the world, be it economically, socially, or otherwise. Occasional expert interviews and factual reporting make it a daily listen to me.
  • FirstLastBunchaNumbers
    Great morning news podcast
    Informative and succinct, well produced, and a very well-spoken host. It focuses on getting as much information as possible into a 15 minute episode without any biased commentary or quips. Though some would disagree, the reporting is fairly balanced, though facts and accuracy do tend to slip leftwards a bit.
  • King of the Golden Beards
    Great News Podcast! I listen every weekday.
    I start every weekday morning by listening to the Apple News Podcast. I love to hear the latest headlines paired with other topics that can start good conversations. I know some reviews will say Apple News is politically “left” but if you enjoy getting news from both sides of the political spectrum, this podcast does a great job at reporting.
  • gMahlerA440
    Part of my routine
    I listen every weekday morning! Great snapshot of the important news without doomscrolling.
  • MrMac2020
    Voice
    I have difficulty hearing Ms Batsu due to her inflection and delivery style.
  • Chicago Brian
    Quick unbiased daily news recap
    It’s a wonderful, intelligent, unbiased quick way to get the most important news of the day.
  • Kyreserve
    Typical biased “news”
    Typical biased news outlet spreading the narrative of one party.
  • Free n Easy too
    Far Left Opinions, Not News
    Just look at the news outlets being relied on here, you’ll get a hint that this is not a balanced show, and definitely not a news channel.
  • InfernoShade
    Great News Bite!
    This is a great news show. I appreciate how succinct it is. While it does have a lot of politics, it also has a few other hot stories mixed in to keep it interesting, which I think is important. I think it’s balanced, and it covers topics that should be interesting to a wide range of audiences. The host has a great voice. Keep up the good work!
  • ECHHG
    Thoughtful and Balanced.
    A refreshing take on daily morning news summary format. Balancing serious, tragic to light hearted / hopeful news. A good companion on my commute to work every morning.

    Not A-Political
    I have been listening to this show daily on the Apple News App for a while. It’s the only time I use the otherwise confusing app. After Trump’s second term, not a day goes by where they don’t mention him. I wish their coverage of the presidency was A-Political. As others note, it’s left leaning. I just want to get my daily news from an unbias source. I love the chime in the intro and Shumita’s calm voice.
  • Azar Ali
    Timely and succinct
    i enjoy the podcast. Relevant news delivered in an understandable and digestible manner. No editorializing. thank you.
  • Quantum Pulse
    Reminds me of Maddow
    What I really like about this sort of news tidbit podcast is the host doesn’t discuss the news in a patronizing or condescending sort of way but really does try to include you as a partner in the ongoing and often evolving news cycle. It’s very warming, especially when listening while in traffic or doing chores around the house. She definitely strikes that “tone” of commonality very well, reminiscent of Rachel Maddow. Subscribed.
  • Februaryfrenzy
    Too left politically
    Every episode supports the democrats and nothing towards the conservatives and republicans. That would be fine if you are a democratic focused podcast but guess what? You’re called Apple news today not democratic news today. Try being less prejudiced and do your job. I am unsubscribing until this podcast comes back to what it used to be, not politically biased, pro-American and not left-propaganda funded
  • Gay boo trump
    POLITICS
    I love when you talk about politics
  • Getmemydinner
    Please add the 7th note at the end of the jingle
    Love listening on my way to work. 4 stars because the jingle needs the seventh note at the end. Please, for the love of all things holy, add the last note so I can feel complete and safe.
  • david wwwe
    Antisemitism in capules
    This is probably the mist antisemitic news in America, the present it nicely like every apple product but spews venom every day
  • Ankeil
    Meh, to far left
    Lies and dem propaganda to swap her own personal agenda. I hope you lose your job for that unprofessional behavior and incorrect reporting
  • systemsgo
    This is opinion reportin
    Very one sided news. A lot of facts are left out and buzz words are used to sway the listeners opinion. It should be an opinion column.
  • PoppyinOregon
    Anti American
    Complete propaganda and a pushed narrative. It use to be very informative. Not the same show anymore.
  • Jslavings41
    Bad
    It’s just not good. WSJ, NYT and Politico have much better daily podcasts
  • PJClaussen
    Less US focus. More global please.
    I don’t care left-right. I’m here for news and she delivers. Well done the team. It’s been quite political lately but that’s how news reflect society. I used to work in broadcasting , the fact is that news analysis is what people need. US is very much in a bad shape, mentally. Analysis just comes out as bad as it is. Suggest the team to present more of the good stuff globally. Need some uplifting of humanity for a change. Thanks!
  • Juan Barrera Tampa
    Excellent show
    So these guys know what they’re doing. Great selection of pieces. Great people taking. Sumita makes a wonderful job but I love Gideon also. Highly recommended.
