Leave a Review Google News
Good but not great (yet)
Better than Apple News but still far too much noise and stories such as sport and Coronation Street of which I have no interest. I’m still working on the settings and hopefully given more time the stories will be relevant to me.
Given how much we willingly let Google know about us I would’ve expected the stories to be more relevant. It would be interesting to know where and what data Google is using for its algorithms to generate the newsfeed. Hopefully, Google News product updates will be frequent and provide incremental improvements to the service.
For now this will be my main daily news feed until somebody produces a better system or the Google product improves.Show lessPeter-42
Biased news selections
I keep this app service for a while hoping that it would do a better job of selecting stories based on what I read. This was not the case. The app does give the option to no longer get stories from a source but the source was not the problem. There is some good journalism out there from many sources but it appears I only get to read journalism from a particular viewpoint. I appreciate other people’s views and sometimes learn why a person or group feels the way the do whether I agree with them or not. But, I would like to read some articles from viewpoints I do agree with too. The app could do a better job of allow the reader to select what they want to read than is currently available.Show lessArmy Law Dog65
Love Google News; sometimes it’s too recursive
I spend time with Google News every day and it’s a great app in terms of amalgamating lots of sources on multiple topics. My only complaint is the navel-gazing algorithm. It seems to base my feed off of (1) news I’m reading and (2) my search history. I end up in recursive news spirals where (for example) I look up a Glee cast list one night while watching Netflix, am fed an article about Naya Rivera the next day, and from then on get 2-3 Naya Rivera articles every day. It’s as if that single seed had a very outsized influence on my news feed. Similarly I clicked on Ask Amy once and now I get Ask Amy AND Miss Manners multiple instances in my feed. Wish I could choose “show less of this” or something to tune the algorithm.Show lessCookie Morgan
Not bad
It’s interesting to experience the differences that the alogarithms of Apple news ang google news dish me up. Both are very good but not perfect. Somewhere in between the 2 would be the idealPc123z
New version is too graphical
Too much graphics in the app now. It was better with headlines.Darryl NZ
News has never been easier
I love to read the news, and do so almost every day. You always get bogged down, however, with certain organizations taking certain political stances, or you’re unable to get several perspectives. However, Google News solves all of that.
I’ve gone from using specific news source apps, to apple news, and now to Google News. It has one of the most user friendly UIs I have ever worked with, whilst providing an awesome experience. You can customize which news sources you’d like to see more of, but Google News will always give you a huge range of coverage.
Not only does it make reading the news easier, but it also makes it easier to get several perspectives on any given story. One of my most used apps, can’t recommend a better News Application than Google News.Show lessCptAwesome111
Two bugs all of a sudden
Love this App! Normally. Two bugs have appeared recently and are quite annoying. 1) Randomly when I click on an article it opens up a blank google.com page in a new window. 2) When I open a Toronto Star article I cannot scroll.
Please fix these issues. Especially #1. I used this App daily and that bug is getting quite annoying.Show lessDavgu3
Great with an annoying bug
I love this app, but for some reason every time I open a story I get redirected to google.com in Safari. This problem is so annoying I might delete the app if it’s not fixed soon.Burnout6541
Annoying bug
Have used this app for a long while and notice now that when I click through to an article it opens a safari window in the back going to google search.
Annoying and also unnecessary as it requires switching back to the app
Pls fix googlevince99@
Keeps opening Safari Clicking on Articles
My observation: clicking on articles has been opening Safari, I would estimate about 60% plus amount of the time. If I had to estimate has been happening since around the beginning of April.
So annoying, Please Fix for the love of God!
Otherwise excellent excellent App!!Jeff Miami
