Thumbs down
No really, thumbs down is the problem with this app. No matter how many times I click “suggest less” it keeps feeding me rugby, cricket, tennis and MMA stories. The algorithm appears to be impossible to train, rendering thr app useless.

Not current; not news
Wikipedia is more current than Google News. I’m tired of a news feed that shows articles from days or weeks ago. C’mon Google!
Constant lockouts
Been using google news for a long time. It’s honestly a good source for headlines but the use stops there. Yes some articles are free and others cost money which is understandable. What isn’t understandable is why when you do hit a paywall your entire app is locked down. You can’t go back. You have to close the app. I don’t believe an app should be allowed to lock your phone down like that into a pay trap - I won’t call it a paywall because you can turn back from a wall.
Also the app is full of clickbait and advertising that hijacks your phone screen.
It would be easy for Google to fix this but money is more important to them and they will never do anything.

Terrible App
This app is horrible. Every time I click the thumbs down “fewer articles like this,” it puts an article in the down-rated article’s place that had the same headline, only from a different outlet.
Very Buggy
The app seems to have some pretty major bugs. I regularly will have the article I’m reading disappear half way through due to an unexpected error.
