Apple News is not available in Poland, Germany or France: it operates in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia only, and only on Apple devices. Pollar is built for readers in Europe: free, in English, Polish, German and French, on the web and iPhone, with Android in testing.

Availability in Europe
Apple News operates in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia, exclusively on Apple hardware. In Poland, Germany and France the app is absent: the App Store does not offer it there. Pollar is built for those readers first. It runs on the web and iPhone, in the four languages of its readers.
Ads and funding
The free tier of Apple News carries advertising, and Apple News+ costs US$12.99 a month in the United States. Pollar carries no advertising at any tier. It is funded by optional reader memberships, and every article stays free.
Where Apple News is stronger
Apple News+ bundles paywalled articles and magazines from hundreds of established titles, which Pollar does not offer. Inside the Apple ecosystem the app is preinstalled and deeply integrated. If you live in a supported country, read mainly English-language media and want magazine content, it is a reasonable choice.
