Last updated: 13 November 2026. These Terms cover My News Reader at mynewsreader.aplusz.app and its installed app. The general Verge Heights Terms of Service at verge-heights.pages.dev/terms apply too; where the two differ for My News Reader, these Terms lead.
My News Reader is made and run by Verge Heights, a French micro-enterprise. Contact: contact@aplusz.app.
My News Reader collects headlines, short descriptions and pictures that news publishers publish in their own public RSS and Atom feeds, and lays them out as a page-turning magazine. Every story names and links its publisher. When you open a full story, AplusZ Browser fetches that one page for you and shows its text in a clean reading layout, credited to the publisher; stories a publisher keeps for its subscribers open on the publisher's own page. The app keeps no archive of articles and makes none public.
Headlines, descriptions, pictures, articles and videos are the work of their publishers and remain theirs. My News Reader credits the publisher on every tile, every article page and every reading page. A publisher who prefers its stories to leave the app writes to contact@aplusz.app and they are taken out within 48 hours.
Reading is free and needs no account. You agree to use the app for personal reading and to leave its systems and the publishers' sites undisturbed (no automated mass copying, no attempts to break in, no reselling of the edition).
Comments: signed-in readers can comment under a name they choose; the email address is never shown. Keep comments about the stories, lawful and respectful: no insults, spam, advertising or personal details of others. Readers can report a comment; reported comments are hidden, and any comment can be removed.
After a short free period, reading continues with a free account and the installed app. You sign in with your email address and a 6-digit code sent to it; the first sign-in creates the account. You can sign out at any time, and delete your account in the app (👤 → Delete my account); this removes your email, your saved settings on our side and any session at once.
Free gives the whole edition, every page, a Morning Edition alert and Topics with 1 category, 1 subject and 1 theme. Free shows a short suggestion of another app by the same maker on the pages.
Pro costs €2.99 per month or €24.99 per year; Family Pro covers 5 accounts (5 email addresses) for €6.99 per month or €59.99 per year. Payment is by PayPal subscription inside the app only. The first subscription of an account starts with 7 days free: a payment method is needed at the start and nothing is charged during the 7 days. If you cancel during them, Pro stays on until the end of the 7th day and nothing is charged; the 7 free days come once per account, so a later subscription starts paid at once. The plan renews at its price until you cancel. Pro gives unlimited Topics, word meanings (tap any word for its meaning in your own language), a fresh issue at any time including the Evening Edition, pages without suggestions, Listen (stories read aloud by your device), your country's edition, saving an issue for offline reading, your shelf of past issues and your interests synced on all your devices. In Family Pro, the 4 members' Pro follows the payer's subscription. Moving from Pro to Family Pro takes effect at once.
A Pro reader can give a friend's code. A signed-in reader who enters a friend's code receives 14 days of Pro, once per account; it renews into nothing and needs no payment.
You can pause Pro for one month in the app (👤 → Cancel Pro → Pause for a month): nothing is charged during the pause, Pro is off during it, and the subscription resumes by itself after 30 days. We email you 2 days before your free week ends.
You can cancel at any time in the app (👤 → Cancel Pro) or in your PayPal account. Pro then stays active until the end of the period already paid (month or year), and nothing more is charged. EU consumers have a 14-day right of withdrawal; by starting Pro at once you ask for the service to begin during that period, and a withdrawal within 14 days is refunded in proportion to the days left — write to contact@aplusz.app.
A price change for an existing subscription is announced by email at least 30 days ahead and applies only from the next month after that notice; you can cancel before it applies. Changes to these Terms are dated at the top of this page.
The edition depends on the publishers' feeds; the app works to have a full edition every day, and a publisher's feed that is briefly unavailable is simply read again on the next run, every 15 minutes. The app is provided as it is, with care, and without promises beyond what these Terms state; nothing here limits rights you have under consumer law.
French law applies. For a disagreement, write first to contact@aplusz.app — most things are settled in a reply. EU consumers can also use the courts of their own country.
These Terms and the Privacy page are published in every language the app is offered in, and every version says the same thing. You read and accept them in the language of the edition you use; the date at the top is the same in every language, so you can always see that you are reading the current version.
