The app was all ok until the last few weeks Now it crashes my LG V30 every single time I use it and need reboot As an additional suggestions it would be nice if we could choose from more than one edition mixing news from different countries and languages I don t want to be constrained to one single language country as source for global news     Roberto Veneziani
I can only see either German news in German or other country news in English not a combination of both There are preview images with captions that flip through automatically When there s a longer caption that I want to read more carefully I sometimes try to flip back and then have to wait several seconds before the caption reappears if it does at all I can t find an intuitive way to reliably pause automatic flipping or to hide an overlay caption if I want to look more closely at a figure         Lukas Stratmann
Gotta say this is a poor effort of a news reader I see the same stories all week long the refresh rate for new articles is awful Flipboard gives me news articles to read every 5 minutes Not only that there is no formatting you re literally just getting redirected to a website complete with all their bs ads auto video popups cookie notices signup buttons and non responsive designs My year using Android and all nothing it has to offer was dismal I m going back to iOS     Daniel Bracey
This app routinely promotes editorials into my Top 5 news stories This is a huge flaw News stories and editorials are two very different things and should never be treated as equivalent It s especially bad considering most editorials are political in nature and are often used to promote fake news extremist ideas and intolerant points of view     Cody F
the images in the headlines section start flickering when trying to scroll through them had this problems from ages surprised it hasnt been fixed yet please look into that problem An update every other day but none of them fix any issues     Sumit K
The news is not even handed in that the conservative view is virtually non existent Add that view to your news service and you would get 5 stars from me every time             Joseph Parker
Continually hangs and crashes after most recent update 9 19 maybe one before Can freeze while scrolling article s or most often when inside an article page News app has become nearly useless     Jacques Marineau
On my phone it is completely dysfunctional For some reason it now pops up a window when I try to open the app The window says Unfortunately Google News has stopped I ve removed the app and reloaded it but it still does the same thing I ve reported it but like now no one responds It was my favorite source of news too I ve been robbed         William Shoemaker
For quite sometime this app used to be my favorite but since past couple of months it is performing strangely It drops out and stops frequently due to the reason best known to the developer That is quite disappointing I m thinking to uninstall it and move on to some other app Can you please fix this issue I m using Android s 4 4 2 version Any clue     Badar Soomro
app is getting worse It makes it so difficult to navigate all i want to do is see my magazine subscription and download and read them offline but the app makes it so diffucult that i end up giving up It wont even tell me the month of each magazine subscription i have to click on a list of 5 mags and read through each to determine which one is which Bloody hopeless typical people making an app that they themselves dont even use     Cameron Owen
I love this app as this has been my only news app since 2017 However the one problem I have with this app is with the ads The app gives you options to see news from YouTube which is quite nice actually and the nonskippable 15 sec ads followed which is acceptable However when you actually try to tilt the phone into landscape mode or try to make the video full screen you have to watch the same ad again Doing the two together will show you the same ad three times Come on Google             Brian Cao
I can t find an easy way to get to subscribed magazines other than go back to the home page and search for them Why isn t there a my library page Can t create a shortcut to them anywhere either and can t even put a shortcut to this app on the desktop either So inconvenient I think I ll stick the printed editions     Phineas Phog
Pretty terrible It injects so many ads into the news that can t be blocked that you re seeing more ads than news It also tends to break anything embedded in the article sometimes to the point of unreadability You can select topics to not see but you re still going to see them anyway The Headlines it picks for you aren t ever particulaly important just tied to your interests Using this app you ll see less news less relevant news and more ads EDIT Autoplay can t be disabled either     Keir Kurvink
How is it possible that I can t exclude certain topics And why show me news based on my browser history Every time I research something for an article my news feed gets spammed with related articles And after clearing my cookies I have to thumbs down a million football articles all over again How about asking what I m interested in and actually show me that     Christina Schneider
I thought this was a decent app up until I updated it last week I mean sure the previous version had its issues if I was on it too long the pages wouldn t load or it wouldn t let me get the whole article sometimes but all I had to do was exit out and try again But now I can t even read 1 paragraph without the app crashing It has done it nonstop since I downloaded it It is very frustrating because this is where I get all my news from Please fix the app I don t want to uninstall but     Jennifer Plante
App is fine I wish I could control which categories are displayed Example I have no interest in sports yet I have to scroll past it It would great if there was an option to eliminate categories of no interest Perhaps a list of categories with a box one could put a check mark on to select witch are shown There you go my two cents worth                 Jethro_xd
I really hate it when I return to this app to continue reading an article I left open even only a few minutes ago and it returns to the briefing page And I wish I would see other titles of interest even if I ve never shown interest in it previously I feel I might be missing on interesting news just because it is personalized         Annie Fournier
While you are reading it will kick you out of whatever you are reading to jump back to the list of articles Not usable anymore Also the feed jumps back to the top while scrolling So you will be happily reading headlines and then at a random point it will jump back to the top of the feed well it will either jump to the top or the app will just crash completely     Pierre Le Roux
My go to app for news There is only one thing i wish it had though That s the ability to add folders in the Favourites section for articles you save and wish to read again Right now mine is pretty cluttered because of the many saved articles and finding them is a challenge sometimes Folders will help with this i think Please Google add this feature                 Lie Gaye
presents news i m interested in that works okayish now oh well it s free you can t complain much but lag is on another level it s really bothersome loading articles endlessly reacting on input is really lagging a lot you need to address that i m multi lingual and want news in different languages international and local the localisation system is to restrictive it needs to be flexible also the block news function is not reversible in case your view changes it s not userfriendly         Pirin
Nice update Doesn t work at all anymore Good job guys first time in 2 years it hasn t worked Idiots     XPG deadone
Easy to use and helps a lot in finding places and or things                     Jamie V Williams
As far as news apps go this isn t a good one I constantly tell the app I m not interested in a topic and it continually gives me more articles on the topic The app reloads while scrolling articles disappear and countless things are irrelevant to me It seems like this google product that was written by high school students as a charity case     Chase Liles
This is all I use for news besides some social media GREAT app I hate how there isn t a better news widget for this app though Microsoft has them beat with the news tab in Microsoft Launcher which serves as a news reader you don t need to open Wish Google would make the same and be on par with them a news widget I can pin to my home screen that has more than 5 stories Took 1 star off for that Wish I could control how much I m notified of stories also seems not often                 Russell R.
Keeps crashing on my p20 lite Had a developer response that was not helpful at all in fact sounded like a pre scripted chat bot message I did see others in the forum having the same issue with the same model of phone so come on Google are you actually looking at the issues please     Boots McGee
I ve subscribed a monthly subscription for the Italian economic newspaper Il Sole 24 Ore since march In the past 2 month I experimented some issues with articles completely blank except for the title and a cover image I ve continued to report those issues with the tool inside the app I wrote also a mail at the customer service mail I found in the PlayStore Nobody answered me Some days I saw the payment of the subscription but at today I still experience the same annoying issue Very bad     Edoardo Gagliardi
Lately I ve been experiencing a problem with live mint articles Every tap on the screen for scrolling turns the entire article background blue and then back to white as soon as the finger is lifted It pinches the eyes a lot Request you to look into it             Hardik Joshi
was good but since the latest update wont refresh and thinks I m not connected to the internet Could it be because I ve put it on the sd card portion of memory Come on Google you need to test first Update September 1 it now can find the internet but starts crashing A restart fixes the issue only temporarily     Rick Bigelow
It is very useful for them who can t read newspaper daily by it they can know that what is current situation                 devangi vanra
Good but a few obvious flaws First there s no ability to sort search results by date So when you re looking for the most updated information on a topic you have to scroll through a bunch of useless results and manually scan the dates yourself In addition not enough customizabilty on homepage Allows you to restrict news sources only on homepage but not as you drill down into a topic Would also like ability to restrict keywords like trump and kardashian for instance                 Danny Underwood-Jones
I still use the Google News website but this app seems to go out of its way to not show me news headlines It opens to a For You page that is all non news entertainment stories like Things You Didn t Notice in the Latest Marvel Movie I have to press another button to see news headlines and the information is still difficult to sort through There is still no option to hide subjects you don t care about like sports entertainment or local news from somewhere else         Jonty Kershaw
1 You can block out entire news sources like the daily mail but you can t seem to block out entire topics such as sport 2 The delay before displaying a quote and moving logo is both stupid and wastes time Just display it or don t there is no need to animate it an keep the user waiting so stop it             Sean Kneller
Not sure how this app managed to take simple functionality and make it convulted but the options are counterintuitive and the view on web doesnt allow direct viewing in chrome which makes viewing following links several annoying steps In principle it remains a nice idea but between using nebulous methods to determine what news to show no I don t want to read news on local restaurant hygine ratings for a cafe 300 miles away and the poor link support it s a thumbs down for me         Chris Hudson
I was hoping this would give me a beneficial news story collation science technology interesting and topical stuff that s not murder or football While i commend the app for remembering to not prompt me with a death story that might have something to do with me blocking pretty much all the sources as I believe they are highly suspect in their intentions but I ve had enough of asking for less notifications about football and getting ONLY football notifications Dumbest news app I ve used     David Stiff
I d like to swipe the news stories which I have read or not interested in Currently same news keeps showing for 3 4 days or same news from multiple sources is listed I don t get any option to stop receiving news on any topic individual I can only remove a source from my feed             Mohit Jain
Well designed and great user interface It also works in landscape mode on my Android tablet unlike Microsoft News Unfortunately it serves up screeds of trashy entertainment clickbait stories that you cannot seem to opt out of If it weren t for that I would have given it five stars             Arie Hoeflak
Why are news articles consuming almost 3Gb if data per month on my phone s data plan I use the app mostly at home and at the office where I have WiFi so it shouldn t be using much of my data plan at all I think there is a serious bug in this app Be wary of your data plan usage when using Google News     Bill Kraft
This app is really good i had used this app a long time ago didn t had interest in this app at that time because it was very boring but now its really good like you get every thing everytype of news on this app and its also like the google feed it shows relevant news as per our interest and thats really relevant to my interest thanks to google And it is nothing like the so called news app that just do the clickBate on the name of news in order to get more readers It s really a quality app                     divyansh tiwari
This is one of the more annoying apps I use based on the fact it used to refresh the feed while I was reading an article so when i went back to the feed it would jump back to the top and I d have to scroll back down to where i was with the previous headline with the last update it now refreshes and jumps back to the top of the list while I m actually reading headlines there s nothing quite as awesome as being in the middle of something and some jerk takes it away and tells you to start over             jakamo suliman
