  • Crashes often

    The app frequently crashes with ‘error’ messages mid read. It won’t let you read from sources that require a subscription, even if you have a subscription. It has a ton of articles that are filled with pop ups and invasive ads that only makes the crashes more likely and more annoying. These issues seem to be getting worse over time. The app is becoming unusable.
  • Non-stop Interruptive ads

    I just read everything that Google news uses and I suggest that you read it because it's on this site, they are literally stealing every bit of personal information about you. I wrote the following a few months ago and the non-interrupted ads are getting worse and worse every day. I AM REMOVING GOOGLE NEWS !!! CAN NO LONGER PERMANENTLY REMOVE UNWANTED NEWS & OR SPORTS SITES!!! Since I complained, the nonstop, interruptive ads have increased and the vast majority of them cannot be removed, hey simply scroll with the pages. Google is one of the richest corporations on the planet and it’s way past time for them to start giving back to those of us that have made them FILTHY RICH and treat us in our PERSONAL technology with respect 😡😡😡
  • Can lead to bad surprises

    Even with Autoplay disabled and in silent mode, the app starts videos at full volume. Can lead to quite embarrassing situations. Even though it’s a known issue, Google doesn’t seem to bother. Back to Apple News…
  • Old & Stale Content

    Ever since Google pared down its news employees, Google News content rarely updates. Now, most articles are always days old. Moreover, the articles rarely change over the course of several days. Used to be good. Now it's stale. Big disappointment.
  • Doesn’t respect default browser - loaded with garbage ads - unreadable

    This app is so bad now. The amount of ads in here is outrageous and google forces its own terrible browser with no ad block or standard modern browser features and will not respect your choice if you select Safari as the default. Pages jump all over the place as hundreds of ads load in the recommended news sources changing the size of the content and causing insane haphazard scrolling. Avoid google news on IOS it’s trash. Google probably abandoned this app like they do with most of their projects a long time ago…
  • Bad algorithm

    By John J Lombardo
    It’s remarkable how badly the news content is served considering how good Google is in general. You can constantly say “show me less like this” and hide sites that only write about that content, and the algorithm still tries to serve that content like it’s your favorite thing to read.

    It keeps sending me news not in any of my interest. Not surprised tho, it’s Google trash.
  • Biased/Racist Company

    By Mattd42$$
    Wouldn’t suggest getting your news from an openly racist company whose biases have been exposed time and time again. Google has shown there hand. There is no fixing this unless their is major reorganization, of which is u likely to happen.
  • No way to report issues

    I'm leaving this review here because I couldn't find a way to report issues within the app. Every time that I am using the Google News app my iPhone starts overheating, so hot that it can burn my hand! This doesn't happen with any other app that I use, so it's super concerning and makes me worry that it's use is damaging my phone. I also keep having articles crash while reading them, just suddenly saying that it isn't available. This happens frequently enough for me to stop using Google News, and ALWAYS occurs if I attempt to navigate to any other content within the news provider's site. Quite frequently news stories that are HUGE don't show up at all under either recommended nor headlines. For example, on the day of the recent mass shooting at the Kansas City Superbowl celebration parade I had to search for articles about it because NONE were showing up on the app. So it's definitely not a very good source for breaking news.
  • Articles crash

    Articles always crash about halfway through reading.
