Google News & Weather App Reviews

Horrible UX when you click a link and see "subscribe to see this news". Please return the ability to let me cherry pick my favorite sources. How much does NYT pay Google for the clickbate??? Also, why on Earth does the ONE story I chose auto-expand ALL the stories on the same subject? I know how to expand if I want to see more. Don’t treat users like idiots please. When you close the stories it never scrolls to the right place.

It used to be “okay” but has devolved into total junk. The app crashes every time you use it and causes your phone to lock up and become unresponsive as well. Critical failure.

With the last update, articles freeze multiple times a day. When app freezes, I usually have to turn my phone off to resolve the issue.

App continues to freeze my phone for five seconds or more when i reopen the app. Extremely annoying. Please fix bug asap. Btw i still prefer the old app vs the new style. Usability has diminished along with reliability. Why??? Removing app until fixed.

sorry but i dont want to have to sign into twitter and fb each and every time i want to share qn article. please let the little arrow at the top open a menu that lets me open in a browser. i do love the thubs up/down and “show less”ive been begging for more granular consistency when using google on android. hopefully what i do in news app on ipad will carry over and improve my feed because google pretty much ignores it on android. for instance, in every possible way including sending feedback many times, ive said no sports. ive literally said it over and over and over and over and over and over for some time, on multiple devices. yet every single day, i get several (sometimes back to back even) storieson sports. apparently i must ban each and every blog or site for each sport in existence. tennis sites, archery sites, football,racketball, etc. maybe finally via the news app on ios, google will hear me. next day: its not even updating the news! dropped a star and uninstalled it. whats up guys? needs some work.

I used to really like this app, but now when I try to use it, it freezes up and causes my whole iPhone to freeze. I have had this app for years, but the freezing is a new problem. I had to delete the app.

So can’t read the news nor share the news. What is this app for?

This started freezing up a while back and is basically unusable on iOS 11 and the iPhone X. Surprised but guess it’s not really a priority at this point.

An app that crashes frequently. Poor software by mediocre google engineers. Pathetic. Used to be my favorite news app, now reduced to completely clunky software. And the surprising thing is no one cares at Google anymore.

This app used to be stable, now it freezes, locks up, and is generally slow to update News stories.

Most times when I click on a linked article the app crashes.

The app crashes on 1 out of 3 stories you click. You would think all the geniuses at Google could fix this issue. Go figure.

Half of the news links immediately crash the app every time they are depressed. Disappointing. This should have been found during release testing. Using the latest IOS on an iPad Pro.

After the recent update observe that after opening the app the phone suddenly stops responding. I need to close the app, it wouldn’t allow me to kill it as well.

This app causes my phone to lag, with delays after taps, in a way that persists after the app is closed. I believe there is a serious bug. All my phone lag issues (iPhone 7, latest iOS update) appear to be solved after switching to the web version of google news rather than using this app.

It seems that google is a decent IT company, I cannot believe that google’s software guys dare put this kind of poor quality product online! Sluggish, unfriendly , messy format, even the fond size is totally out of control. Oh, google...

Ads keep popping up and resizing making the news unreadable.

This was such a promising app before, but recently it has become terrible. Entire major cities apparently have no news at all? I guess nothing has happened in Osaka for months.

Was my go to news reader. No it is just been broken for much too long. I don’t know if it was the iOS 11.2.5 update or the Google News recent update, but no random stories when you try to open them simply crash the app. This is been going on much too long....

This would be a great app if it did not crash as much when selecting articles.
