  • Getting worse and worse ...

    After months of dealing with Google News feeding me Fox News headlines after blocking dozens of sites over the years, they FINALLY seemed to have gotten a handle on respecting my settings. But now every time I scroll the feed, there are horribly compressed pixilated images on stories, sometimes so bad they are unrecognizable. Some articles have attached images that have nothing whatsoever to do with the article, repeated over and over for other articles so that my feed is populated with the same image on entirely different unrelated articles. If this is Google's AI doing the image/article matching and compression, it's past time to consign it to the trash heap. I'm currently searching for a different news aggregator that isn't so laughably unprofessional and childish.

  • Frustratingly on the cusp of being a good app

    For every one thing Google News does well, it does two other things poorly. What is the point of letting me indicate what kinds of stories and topics o want more or less of if the app is just going to ignore that stated preference? Every single story or topic I have flagged to see less of continues to appear on my news feed day after day, often taking up a huge amount of space on screen. I can mark a story or topic and all of its related articles to be filtered out and they’ll all show up tomorrow like I never said stop.

  • Pop ups are a nightmare

    As the title says the pop ups and half the articles are unreadable bc you have to pay for a subscription is out of control!! I’m ready to boot you Google News!! The pop ups are so bad that I can’t read tje article amd there’s no way to turn them off. Poor showing gor the users, great for revenue. Hreed wins.

  • More ads than the standard web version of the news source

    This is something that has gotten progressively worse over the past few months. Click on a story and it’s covered in ads everywhere. I understand needing ads to pay the bills, but it’s so bad now. When I open the same story in my phone browser, there are significantly less ads. I don’t think it’s Google injecting the ads into the stories, although I guess they could be. I assume it’s the news source itself treating Google News traffic differently? Either way, it’s better to use the browser as the browser version is easier to read without flashy ad overlays pinned to the top, bottom, and sometimes side of the article. Deleted this app from my phone.

  • ALLOW SORTING BY DATE!

    By maha2016
    I like that the content is correct, I hate that my content chronologically is way off - by weeks, months and even a year very often. So basically I the user needs to scroll old news to find a small date text to see anything new. I feel Google is just super lazy here, they made an application and stopped inventing / improving it since.

  • A genuine privacy nightmare

    Look at what you give them access to just so you can see the news. It’s more of a data mining app then it is a News app …

    Nothing more than a click bait money grab! and location tracking. You can read elsewhere for free. Nothing more than tracking and paid subscription service greed grab!

  • End the Side Scrolling

    By mjl1152
    The side scrolling is killing this app for me. Trying to scroll up or down somehow triggers a side scroll first. Super annoying. There is no reason the app should side scroll halfway down the feed. The amount of pay wall content is also very frustrating. I thought that was supposed be done with ages ago.
