Abonnement

Athymonto on

Canada

Google devrait proposer un abonnement global pour l’ensemble de ses publications. C’est frustrant comme lecteur de ne pas avoir accès à l’intégralité d’un article parce qu’il nécessite un abonnement. Il y a presque 100 sources différentes d’où proviennent les nouvelles sur Google c’est impossible d’avoir un abonnement à chacune d’elles. Pourquoi ne pas proposer un accès illimité à tous les contenus via un abonnement unique à Google actualités!!!

Awful app, I hate it

McShane87 on

Canada

Recommends good articles that I’d like to read but clicking on any of them is a nightmare with huge ads and auto playing videos. Then it even makes it difficult for you to open the links in standard Safari it uses the in app mini safari just the worst app ever made I think

Ok but…

Reginoune on

Overall I like the app and variety of newspapers we have acces to. My biggest complaint is that often, i clickon an article and it tells me i need a subscription. But if i simply Goggle the article, i can read it in its entirety. Why can google news not give me the same access as a google search?

Decent enough app until it crashes

92U on

Canada

And it freezes/crashes so regularly, I believe it may be a feature rather than a bug. It’s done this for years and they still haven’t fixed it.

Uhhh???

All I get is biased news about the British royal family. It's always negative regarding Harry and Meghan, and positive when it comes to Kate. Aside from the fact that I do not care about these people, it's weird. What did Meghan and Harry ever do to Google? If there is a way to block certain topics, I cannot find it. This app is a mess. Uninstalling.

Garbage algorithm

Justin9Brown9 on

Canada

The algorithm is showing me mostly stuff I care nothing about. The more I select "don't show news from this site" the more it shows me the contents I'm uninterested in, but from other sites.. needs way more options to filter news stories and more buttons to tell the algorithm what you do and don't like. This is embarrassing coming from Google lol

Ads with a little bit of news

dredaxs7 on

Canada

If you like watching ads, especially the annoying ones where the videos pop up and stay on the screen until you close it, then this is the app for you. In between the ads you will get to read news articles in tiny fonts for a minute until another ad pops up. Enjoy!

Remove the search engine of the app

Casamigos1 on

Canada

For iPhone users this is king of annoying since it requiered to use the google search inside of an application. It would be much smoother if it’s only an application

App Works Well, but Media is Censored/Limited

Subay A. M. on

Canada

The app works well. I used to use it a lot. Unfortunately, ever since Canada passed media censorship laws and other laws limiting or restricting foreign media accessibility, I can’t find any good unbiased media on Google News anymore. It’s filled with only-Canadian nonsense and tons of anti-conservative articles and Israeli brainwashing. Before these laws, I felt that I was able to see local or global news from various perspectives, neutral or not; but nowadays it’s just a whole lot of evident brainwashing and filler articles. It’s honestly a shame things turned out this way :(

Ridiculous amount of ads

Ridiculous amount of ads is added into every single news article.
