Would be great - if it worked

I like the idea of scrolling through a lot of news stories quickly - so long as it actually works. However, it becomes a chore when the App keeps jumping back to the top for no apparent reason. This now happens so often the App is almost unusable. But apparently Google thinks it’s so perfect that it doesn’t even need to have a functioning ‘App Support’ button to take you to App Support when you want to report the issue.

Google News curates articles relevant and available…less paywalls incurred.
Two stars is a generous ratng...

No one is steering the ship. "Latest news" is typically one or two days behind. Sources I block continue to permeate my feed. Sections and subjects I veto persist. I would gladly pay for this service if Google would "roll back" to where they were with it twelve years ago.
Allow for manual refresh of news articles.

I use this app regularly and it does function mostly flawlessly. My biggest gripe, as I’ve seen mentioned before, is the list of articles refreshing and jumping back to the top after coming back to the list from reading an article. Imagine being in the days of yore and reading an article in a newspaper and being forced to go right back to the front page of the paper and flip through the pages until you found where you’d left off. Very annoying. Please fix this.
Blocked sources still showing

I have blocked numerous useless sources and they keep appearing in headlines. The main culprit is Gov.uk. What’s the point of having a hide option if it doesn’t actually do anything.

Something for everybody well balanced, keep up the good work and let’s hope for a good new year.
App increases division, irritability

I deleted Google News this morning after using it for nearly the entire time it’s been available on iPhone. My partner noticed that I got upset every time I used the app. The inferred interests feature is poorly implemented and makes me suspect lazy engineering. Searching for an entertainer in Google search once to understand who they are does not make me a fan or a follower. Nor does reading a single article in Google news in which the entertainer is mentioned. The political content I receive through Google News is increasingly radicalized (clickbait headlines, more editorial, less journalism). I guess you get what you pay for. Real journalism has value. Perhaps the days of trustworthy news content for free online are over.
