Default Should I adjust acid on a cider?

I pressed my own cider this weekend
I add 50ppm/gal of meta yesterday
I also made yeast starters

Now it is time to add the yeast and the nutrient.

I have an acid test kit. I also have some acid blend if I need it.

Is it worth the time to check the acid of the apple juice?

What should I be looking for?

I pressed a variety of apples, but I was not able to find the cider
type, with higher acid. So I am worried it will be low.

I am looking to make an english style cider, 5% like beer.
