iPhone X still broken
ShinyBen
Still does not display correctly on iPhone X. Come on, there is very little adjustment required to make this app fit the screen appropriately.
Needs work
Beck162
App now constantly crashes. Not only the app, but causes iPhone to stop functioning. Does that like 1/2 the time, can’t even report a bug in app because it doesn’t work anymore. There is no way you aren’t aware of this. Which means you choose to let it be a problem. Therefore, one star. This app is fine, but it has a few problems. Occasionally you get an error, something about updating settings even though you haven't done anything. Also wish you could block certain news sources from appearing. Some limit you to certain reads per month, some want your location. Wish I could permanently forbid the app from sending my location. Also wish I could see more from certain sources I like. Also, articles appear in spotlight for weeks it seems. And no offense, but anything written more than a couple days ago is no longer news.
Ads overtake this news app

I give this app MINUS ONE stars. There are full page and banner ads, you click the x in the corner to close them and nothing happens. The ad continues to play. “Google News” app should be renamed “Google Ads”. AP associated press app is much better. Even USA Today is more usable than Google.
iPhone X display
HurrahBra
I would really like for the app to be optimized to fit my iPhone X screen the app works awesome and I enjoy Google Apps! I would love to see some of the same problems fixed that others are experiencing to be fixed as well. Thanks Google
IOS display is horrible

Display of Google News has always looked rather blah and boring (especially in comparison with Flipboard and others), and the display features are bad. But, I’m wondering when Google is actually going to change their interface and display aspect ratio to keep up with the new screen displays. For now, Google News looks like a 10 yr-old Android app on an iPhone X. Wasted space on the screen that’s ugly.
No iPhone X support

It’s been a while since the X came out, it doesn’t seem like it would be too difficult to update the app to make use of the entire screen. As it stands, there are giant black bars at the top and bottom of this app. Almost every other app works fine, it blows my mind that one of the largest software companies in the world doesn’t care enough to make their products work correctly. If you’re going to make a product, support it. If you aren’t going to support your product, just kill it and be done with it. Leaving it in this state is shameful. I’ve already deleted most of my Google apps because of this persistent neglect. “News” is next on the chopping block.
Disappointing Alternative
JohnSmith
Apple News is egregious in its proprietary Apple style. I’m so very excited to switch to Android and never pay Apple again, but so many alternatives are crap. If anyone should have been able to aggregate news sources in a better way than Apple, I would hope it would be Google. But considering their hardware, their childish quibble with Amazon, I don’t know why I expected anything quality from google except their search engine. Lack of obvious “block news source” feature. Why not pull a YouTube and let me like and unlike posts so you learn that I think Buzzfeed has gone way down hill since they switched to “articles” from listicles. Do better, Google. This could be your thing! Hardware obviously isn’t. Stop wasting money, improving this would be less expensive than other R&D and people might start getting their news here rather than twitter and Apple news.
