  • Frustrating app

    Way too many of the articles it shows are behind paywalls. There is no way to adjust this. Otherwise it's fine.

  • Works, but still terrible

    The "For You" tab is seeded with topics from my YouTube watch history, which is ABSOLUTELY NOT what anyone wants from a news app. And after a literal decade of feed tuning, my "Headlines" tab is a still nonstop stream of NFL news. I hate football. I've blocked HUNDREDS of NFL news sources, but more appear every time I load the headlines. If you're lucky, you get about 5-10 real news headlines, but the rest is total garbage.

  • far from curated

    Pros: 1)you can add topics that you’re interested in and they will show up in one of the tabs. 2)You can choose to unfollow sources or topics and their articles no longer show up in the feed. Cons: 1)when you open the app, you are given political headline stories. You can’t adjust the home page or the headlines to topics you’re actually interested in. 2)lots of sketchy news sources always popping up like “South China Post”. Google could at least make an attempt to vet sources. You can unfollow them but others pop up in your feed. 3)they insert random topics in your feed for some reason. I’m reading articles about cars and they suggest Yoga as a topic I might interested in. I’ll be reading articles about tv shows and Google News suggests Camping articles.

  • Could be so much better

    In theory a great app that presents news from multiple sources, but click on the wrong story and you get a site that locks up the whole Google news app if you don’t sign up for something.

  • Fixes long overdue

    “Show less like this” option functionality is nearly nonexistent - not only will it keep showing things like that, it will show you that very thing again the next time the articles refresh. Plus, trying to read articles on several sites results in error messages, likely based on the built-in browser’s inability to handle advertising pop-ups from those sites.

  • Do NOT download!!

    App will not exist on your phone without auto syncing to everything google. The app is unusable without being logged in. Just more data farming from google. Deleting and using something else.

    Full of ads and clickbait. News is not relevant and localized to areas I don’t live in.

  • Missing Publishers

    The Economic Times cited a FrankNez Media report several times but I can’t find FrankNez Media on the app. I have to get off the app and go straight to safari to visit FrankNez Media content. Kinda defeats the purpose!

  • So many self-aggrandizing corporate "news"

    By Dave Martin
    There has been a sudden influx of corporate "news" scattered in with actual news. Also not happy that the "For You" section has a ton of articles that are of zero interest to me. I don't care for local news from cities in states I've never been to, or sports, or weather from elsewhere. It's become obvious that Google ignores the news you want in favor of fluff and articles of no value. It used to be a good aggregator. Now it's whatever they want you to see.

  • Crashes constantly
