Freezing
evbl96
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.
Crashes at spotlight news
Ahmed baqer
The app crashes when trying to open any topic from the spotlight.. I still prefer using the web version of google news.
Crashes All The Time
Changoloco
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.
Awful sources

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
Currently very buggy, unusable
George Raynor
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.
Has MAJOR performance issues and bugs

This app is literally the buggiest and prone to hangs/crashes app on my iPhone. I don't know why it freezes so frequently or crashes out while opening articles but it does. I'd suggest memory management and performance issues be Google's #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. I'd also appreciate much more functionality like the ability to build more complex search queries (with exclusions) and ability to block certain sources. I'm not sure why I see the same 4 sources all the time but I do. I'd appreciate more variety. Lastly this app duplicates but does not integrate with Google's own Googke Now news briefings. Would be great if they were aware of each other.
Crashes my phone constantly
Craigbirchler
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.
Irritating
matthew.baylor
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.
PLEASE LET ME PICK & STOP AUTO-EXPAND
flabbygums1
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.
