Stop assuming my region
The region setting is completely useless, I can’t choose my interested region news, google simply inferred it from my accounting (without telling me and without a way to change)
Muchos anuncios
Ya ni leer a gusto un artículo se puede de tantos anuncios emergentes que salen. Si esto sigue así tendré que pasarme a otra app de noticias menos invasiva.

Unless you want paywalls
Every article that’s supposed to be free to read opens to another paywall.
Stale news
The app is super annoying as it keeps presenting awfully stale news from up to 6 months away. There’s no setting in the app to alter this behaviour. I tried filtering news sources but the same stale news keeps popping up from other sources.
Notification issue!
Your notifications only send when I open and refresh the app! PLEASE FIX ASAP!
Terribly
too much advertising
Awful
No option to hide “types of stories”, not news sources. E.g. I’m tired of seeing stories like “someone got stabbed, killed, murdered”. Or the clickbait politics articles. Unless this is everything newsworthy what’s happening in the UK right now.
Update several (many) years later:
Nothing changed. What’s even worse - there’s been an earthquake in Panama and for some reason Google news doesn’t seem to care to pick this up. Speechless…
Just observing the type of aggregated news over the years one would think there’s a intentional algorithm which forces specific type of news to be displayed and certain information to remain hidden.

Dark mode please!
And some ads break webpages throwing error
Nearly every article is paywalled
I guess one might find nice to be able to see all the headlines in one place but for me it is useless if you can’t read the articles even for publications I subscribed to.
You are better off skipping this app and just reading the full articles directly from the publisher rather than just the headlines here

Unable to filter unwanted sources
Google has removed the ability to filter unwanted news providers like CBC and blocked the filtering of content. Now they are forcing you to see what they want you to see.
World Monitor
It would be great if Google News had a "World Monitor" feature.
Notification issue!
YOUR NOTIFICATIONS ARE NOT SENDING. Please fix ASAP!!!
many ads.
many ads. and cannot close

Do not work notifications
Not A2 compliance
Google News will not allow all A2 articles to be accessed when searched for or bookmarked for saved or later reading
App do que o Google quer que você saiba
As vezes eu quero saber notícias novas e o ao não me dá a opção de eu ordenar por notícias recentes. O que parece uma otimização é só uma forma de controlar o usuário. Eu sei que coisas aconteceram depois de uma notícia e quero ver, mas esse app só mostra notícias de 10 horas atrás, nunca é atual.
Won’t stop giving me sports headlines
I’ve tried instructing the app repeatedly that I don’t want sports - I’ve told it to stop showing ESPN and other sports news outlets, I’ve told it to show me more of other things and less sports… but notifications continue to be dominated by sports coverage. I’ve turned off notifications and may also delete the app.

Clickbait trash
The majority of the articles are clickbait behind paywalls. The app regularly freezes and they allow some of the articles to basically highjack your phone where you can’t back out from the paywall you hit. You have to close the app entirely and then start over. Also there’s no sort of popup blocking and I have had volume issues when I was in a quiet place and it suddenly plays some advertisements.
I get it that it’s all about money but damn this app
