Google News is a personalized news aggregator that organizes and highlights what’s happening in the world so you can discover more about the stories that matter to you.

LOCAL NEWS: Explore your community through stories and articles from news outlets in your local area. Customize and choose multiple locations so you can know what’s happening near you or wherever home is.

App performance seems a bit buggy. Features are inconsistent. I wish the political articles weren't the first thing I saw every time I open the app. It's really toxic. But the rest of the news is easily customizable, moreso than any other news app I've tried. Fix the bugs and I'll bump up my rating.

Why do ad's that say "scroll to continue" appear that will NOT scroll past the add back to the article. The app is also littered with ad's that don't go a away when you try and "X" out of them. Google should be held accountable for all the extra revenue they get from misclicked ad's that people don't click. All ad's should have an additional button within the ad's asking if you intended to click on the ad. Only then should Google get that ad revenue.

Andrew Zebroski, 2024-11-28

This app used to be something my family and I truly loved. Being able to choose to view more articles like the one I'm enjoying have been stripped from the app & more political and advertising oriented content has become unavoidable. The entire technology section is terrible & basically one giant ad. The science section somehow always has an extremely limited number of articles when there's more interesting topics in some solo publications alone. This is a far cry from what Google News once was.
