Freezing

Nivek92 on

United States

Love googles search engine and hated Apple News. Figured google news would be a great alternative and for the most part it is! Except all the articles freeze. Anything with to many pictures or Ads will lock the app up and it has to be forced closed and you lose your spot. Tempting to switch back just so I can actually read a whole article again.

Absolute garbage

Snarkbox on

This app is horrible. Almost every article will randomly crash as it can’t load the thousands of ads crammed into every corner, random pop-up videos with hidden Xes, and other annoying non-news bits. Plus most of the articles are behind paywalls anyway. Absolutely useless, and you should avoid.

Just the facts Please!

I understand news has to be sensationalized and you need to play to your audience, but now that we are in the election season Google news has be come so biased it no longer is a place to get your real news. I can no longer trust that I am getting the FACTS.

Nothing But Ads!

I enjoyed using this app for many years, but I’m very close to quitting it because now it is primarily ads. Is Google lacking revenue, or something? They’ve ruined it.

Just shutter this app already

Worst news app with so much potential. First your google searches, gmail and any other google product you use absolutely factor into the news you are fed in this app. That’s not 100% bad but they fail to establish a threshold on what really matters to readers. If you search for cybertruck prepare to see 90% of the feed be about cybertruck for a week. If you tap on an article you will now see 30% more articles about that same article even if it is literally the source or a sourced article from the article you tapped on. Worst is the 3 dots by each article are specifically hard to tap on so even if you meant to block or have fewer shown you usually end up opening the article which just means you will see more articles on the same topic. This app appears to use a punishment model in that if you open any article you will now see that same article for weeks, even if new news comes out, that’s irrelevant to you bc you haven’t tapped on it yet. And the fact that you aren’t able to tap on it bc it hasn’t appeared in your feed 3 days later is probably your fault. Also ads break most articles. This app is still better than Apple News tho bc that is just like 5 articles per year or pay for every magazine you’ve ever heard of and read magazine news which is a month outdated… basically there are no good news apps on iOS so if you find a good news app never tell anyone bc it then bc awful due to greed (reddit).

Poor use of screen space

I do not like the myopic view of this app, one tile at a time. Please multiply by at least 15 tiles for a better overview.

Too many Errors

Bob79947386 on

United States

Every time I start reading a longer article, it’s inevitable that the error code comes up and can no longer read it. Unacceptable as it’s been happening for years and they seem unable to fix it.

Oops, something went wrong - way too often

Not2Bright on

United States

Articles error out and close far too frequently. That is especially frustrating when I'm reading something that turns out to to be a free one-time read of content that would otherwise be behind a pay wall. App fails, and now I can't finish reading because the paywall is up. Additionally, it can be difficult to avoid the many hidden links that aggressively redirect me elsewhere with only the briefest contact as I'm simply trying to scroll past an ad. Google news is ok - but I had hoped it might provide a refreshing alternative to Apple News.

Crashes all the time before completing articles

Lost always on

United States

I like the app it’s one of the better news apps out there that I seem to like, just has a few annoying issues… I try reading articles and so many are like books the articles are to long the story will tell you everything about the link that you don’t want to know and when you finally get to the reason you clicked on the article it says page can not display? I have deleted and reinstalled tried everything it’s been a issue for over a year. Also the like or don’t like button needs more options. If I don’t like a article but it’s about a item of interest I can click not to receive ones like this but I can’t click why. Many I just can’t stand reading a article that takes 2 hours to get to the point ..

Too Many Annoying Pop Up Advertisements

I’ve used the Google News app for years but am now looking for an alternative because of the annoying pop up ads that pollute almost every news article I try to read.
