## Google News Description
Google News is a personalised news aggregator that organises and highlights what’s happening in the world so that you can quickly catch up and discover more about the stories that matter to you.

With Google News, you’ll find:

YOUR BRIEFING: It can be nearly impossible to keep up with every story that you care about; Your Briefing makes it easy to stay in the know about what’s important and relevant in your world. It updates throughout the day to bring you the top local, national and world headlines, plus personalised news tailored to your interests.

LOCAL NEWS: Explore your community through stories and articles from news outlets in your local area. Customise and choose multiple locations so that you can know what’s happening near you or wherever home is.

FULL COVERAGE: Dive deeper into a story with multiple perspectives. The Full coverage feature organises everything online about a story, surfacing and highlighting coverage from different outlets and mediums. With just a tap, you’ll uncover how the story is unfolding and how everyone is reporting on it.

STORIES FOR YOU: The For You section delivers personalised news related to your interests. Take control and customise the articles that you see by following the topics and sources that you care about.

ACCESS FROM ANY DEVICE: Stay up to date on the news, no matter where you are. Pair the Google News mobile app with our desktop website, news.google.com, and enjoy your personalised content across all your devices.

## Google News Reviews in Ireland

### *---- "Absolutely Rubbish"
Constantly falls over and crashes.
-- Troll Swatter, 2022-04-26

### **--- "Opaque Widget gone on iOS"
No more opaque widget with drop down for more articles on iOS. All that’s left is the ugly white widget. Disappointing.
-- Kieranjames89, 2021-11-30

### *---- "Dear sir/ madam"
I’m very disappointed and displeased with the new version of google news it doesn’t give the full breaking news and the old version of it was a lot better than the one that’s there now
-- Bermcg45, 2021-11-21

### *---- "Disappointing"
News is very bias and you can’t select to see the most recent.
-- unhappywillie, 2021-06-11

### ***** "Excellent"
Constant updates on what’s happening around Ireland and the world!
-- JBright1981, 2021-05-16

### *---- "Too many tabloids."
Too many click bait articles suggested despite putting them as not for me in suggestions.
-- Feeffs, 2021-02-15

### *---- "Only Censored content and Covid propaganda"
Only Covid brainwashing and fear propaganda. 
I selected tech and sport news as Im not interested in Covid daily updates and brainwashing yet this is all I see daily. App deleted for good!
-- Evo400, 2020-12-25

### ***** "Awesome app! It just do it right."
With this app, it just shows the future is bright. Google always lead the pack and this is no different.
-- Bulldog1777, 2020-06-19

### *---- "Stale news mixed with newish news."
Google News does not show stories in chronological order and gives no option to do so. You'll be continually frustrated by seeing the same news articles from two or three days ago mixed in with articles from the last 24. And don't expect any breaking news either. Very disappointing.
-- OdysseusApollo6373, 2020-06-17

### ***** "My Thank To Google"
Google news is varied and excellent and like all the other Google app services - the best in the world.
-- Lucy O Sullivan, 2020-04-18

### *---- "Content"
I’m in Ireland but it only shows me US content and there is no way to change that.
-- demi_alucard, 2020-04-12

### ***** "it’s g"
g
-- James Mongey, 2020-04-02

### *---- "Horrible user experience"
Please if you’re a product manager at google check these reviews and do your job! The app is crappy for iOS users. I’m in Dublin and the ‘for you’ feed only shows news from the USA, also topics that I’m not interested. Which means it is not for me. The journals that I follow don’t appear in my feed. I have to go to ‘following’ then select a journal to see the news. Horrible user experience and instead of providing knowledge it’s driving me crazy. So I’m deleting the app and downloading a new one. I hope you listen your users, as I can see there are lots of reviews saying the same thing. Tks and bye.
-- naianabezerra, 2020-03-29

### *---- "Extremely laggy"
The Google news app is currently very slow and laggy I’m running it on iPhone 7 Plus iOS 13.4 beta 4 and it takes an age to open a story. I’ve previously used this app as my go to news app.
-- Tom Harpur, 2020-03-04

### *---- "Lags like I’ve never seen before!"
It lags so badly that I simply can’t scroll down,it just freezes,I’ve got excellent bb speed,brand new iPad...I cannot figure it out,aside from this the app seems to be quite,ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it made no difference at all..
-- Derekj1970, 2020-02-27

### ***** "Daily reader"
Less social trivia please
-- daily visitor, 2019-06-26

### ***** "Great"
A little something  different, make a huge step in.
-- venkat ione, 2019-06-09

### ***** "Its ok"
I use it
-- mr.GREGORY1, 2019-01-29

### *---- "Really bad app"
Asks me to sign in, but disables cookies and just fails the sign in... Old app wasn’t great but did a vaguely ok job. This thing tries to copy Flipboard and does it badly.
-- MaryF20, 2019-01-04

### ***** "Great news app"
Great news app good local as well as international news. I find it much more relevant than apple news.
-- Cairbre O'Donnell, 2018-11-08
