So in IOS 9.3, the 'For You' tab in the News app has been updated to have algorithms that better tailor articles to your taste. I like many of you other beta testers have probably been putting this to the test. In previous versions of IOS 9 I was reluctant to put channels and topics into my favorites as to avoid getting to many articles. But to test this new feature I have filled my favorites list (Literally I can not add any more). I get a lot more news, and it is definitely tailored to my tastes but still frequently get things I do not want to read.

So, what are your thoughts/feelings? For the beta testers out there like me, how accurate do you find the algorithms to be?
