The recent updates have broken this app. Anytime I open the app my entire phone freezes.

Freezes my phone
Seizing up all the time
Lately it has been locking up *all the time*. It’s getting impossible to use. I have removed and reinstalled the app - still seized up regularly.
App crashes
App causes my phone to crash
Freezing and crashing too often
What’s going on google? Is Apple sabotaging you? There can’t be another good explanation for why this app freezes and crashes so regularly since iPhone X. It’s getting to the point that the app is unusable, used to be my favorite app.
POS
Freezes, crashes, basically doesn’t work.
Buggy!
I can’t believe that a program written by a tech giant like google would perform so poorly on my iPhone. Freezing, shutting down and over all sluggishness occur nearly every time I use this app.
Constant crashes
Crashes almost every time I open it. When functioning, it’s an excellent app.
:(
This was my go to news app until the last month, when the app crashes every time I open it. Unusable. Please fix!
Freezes my phone
I guess I cant be 100% sure, but when using this app my phone frequently freezes -- I cant do anything for 20s or so. I have used this app for a long time, but it just started a few months ago.
Buggy and No Fixes
I reported the crashes and other bugs several times. No resolution. At least it’s a free app!
Crashes and link sharing
Used to be good but now way too many crashes. And often the share links are greyed out.
Refresh is too slow
Besides the noticeably slow refresh the number of prescription news services is annoying. Don’t show headlines from articles I can’t read. I expect more from google then this app delivers.
“For You”
Why is the “For You” section only load 10 articles and no more ??? It has to be able to load more older articles !!! Only 10?
Crashes phone
IPhone 8plus 64gb. Completely crashes my phone upon launching app. Takes about 30 sec for phone to get reset. App is unusable.
Keeps shutting down my phone
The last couple of days, when opening up Google News, it’s been freezing my phone. I expect better from Google.
“For you” section needs to be able to load
The section “ for you” articles should be able to load and show more instead of only like 10 articles and done
Please fix the bugs!
The best news app as far as actual news goes. My biggest complaint us that the app freezes on initial start up until it has completing its update. Please fix this issue!
Crashes Constantly
Google is known for making very good programs, and I use quite a bit of them. Their Google News app kinda blows. Constantly crashes. You can read one story and then when you attempt to open a second story, the app crashes. You restart the app, it crashes. You restart your iPad, it crashes. Google, please work on this app. It has the potential to be something very good.
Room for improvement
This app could use a little love from decision makers at Google. A few minor enhancements to this app would make all the difference, like bespoke sorting or article history. Step up your game Google.
Crashes.
Crashes 50% of the time - often on initial startup.
