Google News and Weather was a good app. You could like or dislike topics to customize your feed. It was abandoned in favor of this app that instead allegedly lets you like or dislike sources. The problems are that topics are better than sources for this feature, and feed customization does not even work well in this app. If you dislike a source in one part of the feed it will turn up somewhere else or on the next day. If you dislike all the sources covering an uninteresting topic, a pitiful Twitter post will be left over, and Twitter cannot be blocked in this app. So the nature of this app is revealed as a front end for Twitter trends and related news articles. It is not up to Google standards. […]

I like reading news in the Google news app because of its nice interface. But, When I open and while reading an article, if I switch between apps for a moment and come back, the article that I am reading automatically closes and the home page reloads. So I need to search for that article again and open it and read. THIS IS HAPPENING EACH AND EVERY SINGLE TIME and it's frustrating. I wish this gets fixed soon. Thank you. […]

Seems like this app throws in too many ads that are disguised as news articles. Mostly about cars. And for some reason there is a daily “news” article about either Snoop Dogg or Dr. Dre. I’m on the search for a better news app. […]

Love dark mode and I love the full coverage feature. My only news source is this app. […]

The app itself is great but the one thing I can't stand is that when you read an article and exit the app then go back, the app completely resets and you lose the article. Then when you go back to find the article it often isn't there. Fix it! […]

Where is this simple list of news items? Dozens of videos designed to distract, as opposed to a useful guide to many more items. I don’t want to spend all day looking at stupid videos. You have ruined the indexing function of Google. […]

Google News has been my go to for the last decade for it’s aggregated approach to sourcing news from all over. I find recent changes to this app unacceptable - the trend is to customize your newsfeed in the way that you customize your Facebook feed. The fact that I’m more interested in certain topics doesn’t make others irrelevant, however this is the unintended result of this practice. I deleted the app this morning when they did away with the “headlines,” tab, instead only offering a highly customized cross-section of the news. I don’t want to live in my own echo chamber, so I have moved on. […]

Every time I open the app at first it is really laggy and stutters. It likes it takes really long to load all the stuff and makes it laggy. It is so terrible and makes me not want to use this app even though I like the interface. Fix this it has been this way since launc […]

Better than fake news cnn cnbc msnbc or foxnews […]

This app has potential but gosh the news is always OLD I mean I constantly get news at least 15hrs old. Come on! There is new news every minute. […]

Finally Google released the dark theme for this iOs version of this app. Much better!!!!! I still use the old app as this one doesn’t have a dark theme option. Please provide that and I’ll start using it. […]

I switched the video autoplay setting to "Disabled" but the videos continue to autoplay. e.g. from the headlines section I choose a news article from cnn which generally has a short video clip up in the beginning of the article and it immediately starts to play without hitting the play icon. How can I stop this? […]

This is a great news app and it's better when you sign in with your Google account to get personalized news. The interface is clean and modern and easy to swipe between sections. Thanks for adding the dark mode. I been waiting for it! […]

Honestly, the app was so clean before. Now it’s too flashy […]

I normally use Google News as my news source. However I typically use it for gaming news and other things that I’m interested in. The “See Fewer” and “Hide All” from so-and-so source do not work the way they should. If I select “See Fewer” it means I’m not interested in the topic and would like to see LESS of that topic. It does NOT mean I want to see more of the topic. And no, I’m not accidentally pressing the option that gives more of that topic. I have no interest stuff like football or other sports yet I get spammed to sh*t with sports related articles. There’s also an issue where sources that are on your hidden sources list will reappear in your “For You” section. I’ve hidden Fansided (a sports website) about nine times and it keeps reappearing in my feed! You should also have the option to hide videos and remove tweets for certain articles (because Twitter is not a news source in any way). […]

All in all I’m rather happy with the app. The one bit I would refine is the open in browser setting, it open an article as a webview in the app, and another tap is required to them open that article in the browser. There is no need for the webview preview imho. In regard to replacing flipboard I’m mostly happy that ads don’t take over the app when viewing articles and cause odd problems like video playing automatically or pop ups being out of control. 👍 […]

This app doesn’t respect the ios system accessibility settings. There’s an option which seems like it would do this, but it doesn’t work. Subsequently, the text of articles is waaay to small for anyone over the age of 40 to read. (But since there are few of said people at Google, they obviously never considered this) Also, the highly gratuitous “Ken Burns Effect” on article thumbnail images is super annoying. Not sure why someone thought that was a good idea. Just because you *can* make a nifty animation doesn’t mean you should! Very unusable. Deleted. […]

The millennials can have all the pictures and infinite scroll. I don’t need it. I want news and I don’t want to scroll for an hour to see a summary of headlines. This new version is truly horrible. […]

I keep getting “An unknown error occurred.” when I login to the Washington Post from the Google News app. This prevents me from reading their articles. […]

Not very friendly for daily news updates, it is never in order by date which is frustrating for me. Would also like to be able to select story / subject updates. […]

I really dislike this app. It won’t let you select text when viewing articles, which makes it impossible to look up phrases or take quotations from it. Horrible user experience Google, you should know better. […]

Yea […]

Difficult to control content, always giving me Game of Thrones spoilers. Same stories pop up everyday. […]

Dark mode? […]

The old written news format is more to my liking! […]

The topics I want to read more about are always at my finger tips. […]

“See fewer stories like this” has absolutely no effect whatsoever. I cannot remove Kanye from my “news” feed. Three stars, and I’m being generous. […]

Go back to the old format. Some of us like to “read” the news. […]

There needs to be an option for the homepage widget to be the top news stories and not just suggested stories. And once they’re clicked on they need to refresh. And please, stop with all the repetition. Just because I read a story doesn’t mean I want to see fourteen other version of the same story from different sources. It’s a great app in general, but those two things are very important for a news app. […]

The viewer constantly refreshes and i lose my place, having to scroll down again. I should be able to leave the app, even for a moment, and not have the thing completely reset when i return. Make it very hard to use over time. Fix this and the app would be great! […]

Great app and the fact that it has a section for headlines, us, business, etc, that’s all in addition to your customized news feed, which seems to be based on your search and browse history. I’m ok with this as the customized news feed is very accurate as it mostly pulls stories I’m interested in, including in niche areas like comics or video game news. Improvements: 1) easy to accidentally swipe to a different story 2) when headlines/stories are refreshed, it’s very difficult to find the story you were reading or one that you saw earlier that you planned on clicking later 3) a multiple tabs option would be nice so you could open multiple stories you are interested in and then those can still be saved once the app/stories are refreshed. […]

Could someone modify the version so that it could run smoothly on my iPhone 6 😢😢😢 […]

Google News app tends to reload from scratch to often. This is very annoying when you read an news article, switch to another app to do something for a few minutes and then comes back to see Google News app no longer shows the article you were reading. Instead you ended up staring at the refreshed home page of Google News. Neither Apple News nor Microsoft News app have this problem. […]

I am not a fan of the new app. The zooming photos are annoying and the app is too quick to slide to another article when touched. The news sources options should not give priority to sites that limit access. Yahoo news is looking like a good alternative. […]

Missed the desktop version... I was forced to download this app, […]

I like the way news is covered, local, national and international mixed together. What I don’t like is the way stories are laid out, often two abreast. What I particularly don’t like is the small type size used for the body of stories. […]

Google news is good if you want to search for a specific news topic or about a country. But I gave it up a couple of years ago because it tries to guess what angle of news I’m interested in. With SmartNews app, you can’t search but it covers all categories without regard to your own political leanings as news should. […]

There is too much bias. I would love to have something less biased but that might be too much to ask from a company like google. […]

Just deleted the only reason I used this app daily. I don’t want a feed with everything in it, I used the app because I could view headlines for categories I’m interested in (technology). Deleting this. […]

Google expects users to be totally focused and devoted to this app. If you check a text or navigate away for any reason you will loose the article you were reading. It refreshes every time you navigate away and come back. Also there are too many ads based on users browsing history on chrome etc. even the news is too targeted based on what you read. […]

It doesn't automatically update location with relevant local stories. The local section always shows stories from the same location no matter where I am. The weather also is less detailed than on the old app. A dark mode like on the old app and on the Android version would be appreciated, as well as smaller stories without large pictures, again like on the old app and the Android version. […]

I am not a fan of the format currently in vogue by Netflix, NPR, and now Google News, that shows large rectangular items. It requires too much scrolling to work through the news feed. […]
