Google News & Weather App Reviews

Ever since the newest version released, the app freezes and/or crashes constantly. It can lock up the entire iPhone at times. Ridiculous.

Recently Google News app has randomly started crashing when a link is clicked. When restarted it crashes consistently again. No obvious pattern on links that work and those that crash the app.

Please fix. Terrible update. Slow, stalls/hangs. Borderline unusable. Worked fine before last update. Extremely disappointed.

Used to be great. Now it constantly locks up and freezes my entire phone. Even force closing the app causes my phone to lock up for a good 20 seconds. C’mon Google - you’re better than this.

This app used to be good. Now it freezes constantly. When you try and close the app, the whole Iphone gets latent.

Way too many annoying and distracting ads and videos!

This app is extremely glitchy. I have an iPhone 8 and am up to date on software but this app routinely freezes and crashes.

Good app, but why is news and weather together? Why not two different apps? Very easy to create custom categories, but these these categories never gets updated.

Then google got cute and made it pretty and now its broken junk. Its supposed to be a list of news stories from reporters all over the world - now its AMPD crap that never loads (white page of doom). Go back to just basically making links to news stories. Apple news still is awful as well so you have time to fix. UPDATE MAY 2017 - bad again. Update Feb 2018. Bad again. Just deleted.

Can’t read articles on right side of copy or editors picks What’s wrong you. One largest companies in the world and you cannot fix your own crap. My son built his own computer from floor up. Jeezz

I find it frustrating that it will not update financial news (like today’s stock market crash). I do not want two-day old news in my NEWS feed. That is not “news!”

Click and crash!

This app regularly freezes my phone. I used to like it.

My iPhone freezes when I use this app.

All the linked articles on the right side (iPad) under Spotlight just cause the app to crash. Only started day or so ago.

This problem has been around for over a year. Please address it

Lately the app has just been freezing randomly when opening and even when trying to force quite, it just locks up the phone. Another problem is that it seems they are favoring articles from the New York Times and Washington post over recent weeks. I am not paying to read the news from them that’s free on other sites. I’d rather see ads on the article

I loved the update where the general layout of the app was made better. However it crashes on me A LOT now. Especially in the spotlight section: every single story that I try to read immediately makes the app close the second I tap the article.

Crashes frequently. Slow when it actually works.

I loved this app initially, but it recently started freezing my phone. Not sure which update started the problem, but I wish they would fix it.
