Leave a Review Google News
Go-To News
Google News provides just about every newspaper from both political sides like The Guardian and The Telegraph or CNN and Fox News. It even includes Tweets so if you’re not interested in reading articles and if you don’t have Twitter, you can simply go to the Google News app and scroll down to the Twitter feed on the home page.
Speaking of the home page, the UI is simple and modern and easy to use, I really like it. Everything’s easy to find. Really good.Show lessMefromgooglr
Google News App Feedback
You all need to make sure that you are able to fit in as many news sources from around the world as you could do that in this way, all users who actually use this type of app in general will always be able to see and hear about whatever types of news that they all would ever like to hear about from any parts of the planet in general. Lastly, you all need to make sure that you are able to post up photos, videos as well as any other forms of media in general that would actually be able to explain how all of these types of news sources work, what parts of the planet that they all are ever broadcasted from and so on and so forth. All of these forms of media should always be translated into as many different worldwide foreign languages as possible.Show lessBilly Albornoz
Dislikes are useless and constant errors
Whatever they use for algorithms does not work, which is odd because I thought google perfected those like 20 years ago. But content topics I don’t want to see still show up, specific articles I don’t want to see still hound me within a few hours of specifically asking not to see it. Often picture don’t align to what the article is about “Suzy seen out wearing a new purple skirt” is attached to a picture of Phil wearing a grey suit with no picture of Suzy in sight! A lot of articles “aren’t there”. I see something interesting I want to read, I click it, and it’s like less than 2 sentences from what seems like a good article. I don’t get it… then I go to my browser to try and find the mystery article from the content provider and find nothing. Finally the errors! Oh the errors! They make me crazy! I used to not have the problem but maybe within the last month I would say about 1/4 of the content I try to read quickly changes to say “error displaying content”. So annoying!Show lessSweetC11510
Better than Apple news
Far better than apple news, more tailored to you. Apple news has half of it taken up by click bait articles wanting you to sign up to News+ with every one of them behind a paywall
It takes up like half of the feedLolwutdafuq
would be awesome if things weren't always crashing
the app itself is stable, and i prefer whatever algorithms are in place to feed me what i'm actually interested in, and i ESPECIALLY like being given a list of news articles that i can, like... read. for free. without being badgered to pay to read half of what i'm being presented with.
but all the free news in the world is worthless if the page spits out an error halfway through the article. i thought maybe it was just a mercury news thing, but it's doing it with articles from other sources as well. i tried babying it, letting everything fully load and scrolling very slowly, but even if that worked (which it doesn't), it's 2021, i shouldn't have to do this. i reasonably expect a google app to be robust enough to handle SCROLLING.Show lessspadooky
Could be much better
I have been an avid user of Google news. However there are a few things that would make it much better
1. A personalized list to add articles for future reference. I know there is a read later option, but that’s just one list. Would like the option to make/share lists
2. Many articles are not correctly displayed within the app. Either some elements are not correctly displayed or image players are off. This needs to be improved
3. Ability to turn of dark mode. Since I am an “avid user”, reading on a black background hurts your eyes and I end up opening articles in the browser. Please have an option for background colors for dark mode and option to turn it off.Show lessbnikx
Clunky Interface Leads to Fatigue
While I use it, Google News is just OK. Comes across almost as amateurish in appearance and functionality. Its clunky interface is annoying, often selected artwork doesn’t match stories, graphic quality substandard (thumbnail quality), the editorial staff appears to represents unfocused efforts, much of the published substance and quality of articles are centered around celebrities and dumpster fires... Article layouts and loading are painfully slow, often leading to nothing, once arriving at actual article one typically finds them extremely and overly saturated with ads, making loading simply crawl; so much so I sometimes dread using app. It apparently consumes significant bandwidth and data with its overtly ad placements and erratic graphical interface, while half the time graphics don’t even load.... We should be given the ability to block uninterested content and dial in more relative articles.Show lessvoom54
Liberal paywalls make this app bad
Google only gives you the leftist liberal side of the news. That means you will miss out on a lot of true stories that many people simply don’t want to read about, but right wing outlets give you crime reporting (where you actually learn current events) as opposed to the others give you opinion pieces to brainwash you into the liberal cult of thinking. Still you won’t find the far left/right partisan spin either like Breitbart or HuffPo.
Also, so many paywalls going up now anyways (new outlets are realizing they are losing ad revenue when people don’t view content on their home site) that it’s hard to read about a story. You have to click past NYT, WaPo, and a couple others until you find one not behind a paywall. Why does gnews even make it available if I can’t read it?Show lessbryguy1942
Ads, non-news & unwanted auto play
Used to be alright. Now you have to click back about 3 times (through adverts) before you get back to the news feed.
Loads of embedded ads including many auto play videos - no idea of their content as they don’t tend to load properly. Presume they are nonsense though.
Cannot get the app to learn that I give no Fs about the royal family/celebrities/magazines/social media stuff.
Anyway, deleting the app as it is now unusable and certainly does not present you with “news”.Show lessCzgrfde
Wide News Coverage
I have only been using this app for a few days but have found it to have the latest news as well as a variety of other interesting articles. Would recommend it.Manx64
