Google News & Weather App Reviews

I like the app but the local news are a mess. You can add locations but you can’t delete them. Sine the last update the are also doubling. Very annoying! A few improvements and bug fix are necessary. Hey google do your job!

The new update crashes my iPhone X each time I try to open it.

Whenever I open the app after a bit using it for a short period it needs to refresh the news feed. When this happens it freezes up for 30 seconds or more and sometimes I can’t even exit the app with the home button or turn off the screen with the power button.

The widget doesn’t update frequently enough. News from many hours ago are not news, they’re *history*. Right now I see the recent news from 7h ago... that’s very very old. In Settings, Background App Refresh is on, globally and for Google News.

iPhone 7 Plus, app locks up. Never had a problem with my iPhone 5.

Used for years but now it crashes all the time and causes my iphone to lock up for about 30 seconds. It affects any apps that are open. Hope you guys can fix soon. I really like this but just too frustrating now.

Only app that when I try to open it, makes my phone freeze or crash.

This app is really struggling lately. No other app I have gets stuck like this one.

Freezes my iPhone 7. Sharing links joins URLs with text snippets which break the links. Can’t remove news sources with paywalls. Refreshes screen while I’m in middle of scrolling through articles (and thus loses my spot). I’m close to abandoning GNews after over a decade

This is normally a 4.5 star app as it needs some improvements BUT now.... Every time you open an article, the app just crashes so the entire thing is useless.

Cant save or share articles on the latest iPad Pro version. Please fix! It’s been months now. You can share on iPhone but the iPad app article sharing button in the upper right corner of the app does not function. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app.... STILL nothing. Sad that Google puts their name on a broken app. Crashes.... crash, crash, crash......

Used to be an avid user of google news. However, once I got the iPhone X I realized I can’t use it anymore. For whatever reason google news constantly makes my phone freeze and slow down. It’s the only app on my phone to do so and I’m not sure why but it needs an update. Used to love this app, but now I have to move on to another news app that actually works on my phone.

The app crashes when trying to open any topic from the spotlight.. I still prefer using the web version of google news.

I have always loved Google news because of the customization options. This app is THE WORST for iPad. Half of the stories I click on make the app crash. I’m going to stick to the built in Apple news for my iPad from now on. I am deleting this app.

I keep having terrible extreme right sources show up on my feed, or it seems to promote those that require you to have a subscription to view more than one article a month. I just want to read the news ugh

Unsure why this is STILL unusable almost a month after the last update, but the app crashes every time I try and use it and is totally unusable.

This app single handedly brings down my entire iPhone X ... super buggy.

This app is literally the buggiest and prone to hangs/crashes app on my iPhone. I dont know why it freezes so frequently or crashes out while opening articles but it does. Id suggest memory management and performance issues be Googles #1 priority for a fix. Much more memory intensive apps like games and other news readers have no issue on my phone. Especially problematic is switching to another app and back which frequently hangs the app. Id also appreciate much more functionality like the ability to build more complex search queries (with exclusions) and ability to block certain sources. Im not sure why I see the same 4 sources all the time but I do. Id appreciate more variety. Lastly this app duplicates but does not integrate with Googles own Googke Now news briefings. Would be great if they were aware of each other.

Not only does the app crash constantly, but in doing so it leaves the phone useless for long periods of time. When it isn’t attempting to brick my phone the app freezes intermittently, doesn’t load stories regularly, and refreshes the headlines unwittingly.

Google really needs to do something about advertisements in this app. Many times I get hit with a full screen pop up advert that is impossible to close. Then I have to kill the app completely just to get back to the article list.
