And the app crashes constantly while you are in the middle of an article, and dumps you back at he main lading page wen it restarts, and has not been updated in a dogs age so is apparently abandonware.

Is there a nonproprietary way to save articles with apple news? What sucks with these "news apps" is you have no way to organize your research material how you'd like e.g. with a more powerful reference manager. Maybe they should release a research product like how google has scholar.google.com

  How do you propose Apple does that? By giving content producers content away without their consent? The News App has content that you would normally have to pay individually for.

    I mean, they don't exactly block screenshotting if you really wanted to get at the article and disseminate it using that platform. Say you are a highscooler doing a report on current events. Apple news is no help for you for that if you actually want to manage references easily. Being able to also pull your article list out of apple news and into some other future as of yet uninvented service is also powerful stuff for the end user, but of course apple doesn't care about that since, why should anyone leave the heavenly walled garden of earthly delight they've created? There are of course many reasons why its useful to have a record of your reading that you can manipulate how you'd like.

      And if I’m a student citing a reference, how much good does it do if the original reference is behind a paywall? You don’t have to screen shot anything to get text out of Apple News. You can use the high tech procedure of “selecting the text and copying and pasting” And if you want to get the original URL, you can also do the very unintuitive option if “copy link”. For instance if you paste this link into your browser, https://apple.news/AhwAFsLbdQZaWT1xFsifQ_g https://apple.news/AhwAFsLbdQZaWT1xFsifQ_g It redirects you here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/02/13/ownership-three-recently-downed-high-altitude-objects-is-undetermined-white-house-says/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/02/13/ownership... It really isn’t that hard.
