For me News+ is totally worth it. Currently I subscribe to the Atlantic and Scientific American. I won’t be renewing them. That is probably half of annual cost of News+. I think selection is slightly better than Texture, which was about the same price (I think I was paying $8/mo for that - some special rate I discovered). I appreciate being able to read some of WSJ and LAT without running into a paywall.
Nearly all of the magazines I’m interested in use ANF (Apple News Format) rather than PDF. Resizable text, scrolling, which I like. For those, there are useful keyboard navigation shortcuts, which is really nice for reading on iPad on the desktop. Easy to zoom photos full screen and then back to reading mode. And Speak Screen almost works - reads a few screens but stalls out (surely something that will get fixed). Hopefully more will switch over from the clunkier PDF.
