Beats many other aggregator apps: smoother, more concise
Tried “training” other apps. Difficult. Google is more concise: not a lot of junk stories. (Select “Full Coverage” for more, including some junk). Not to like? Not sorted chronologically. You’ll find 18 hours ago *followed by* 1 hour ago. (For efficiency I like more recent first to avoid reruns.)
Just Really Awful
This App Is Really Awful Because They Never Send Updates Out Anymore And They Never Talk About MAX Streaming Service Formerly Known As HBO MAX Either.
I’m complicit
I used google news everyday for years. At first it was amazing. As the years crept by the amount and invasiveness of ads became frustrating. Pervasive advertising. Then I realized I had helped kill journalism by reluctantly being the target of all those poorly done ads. I stopped.
Paywalls breaking app
Most of the paywalls lock the app and prevent backing out of the article so the app must be force closed. This used to be a one off thing but with the last couple updates it every paywall that doesn’t have the continue without disabling option.
Pop up ads
Crazy a Google app has a bunch of pop up ads
Web is still better
Surprisingly you get more options and control using the web over this app. Just download a bookmark to the home screen.
Crashes all the time
The app crashes as I’m halfway through reading a store. Every time. Maybe we have to use Apple News moving forward.
