Ratings and reviews

The new Google News is nice. But when will we finally be able to have multiple languages? I read news in French and English alike, but it's not possible in this app. Another issue I have with the app is that when I start reading an article, then move on to another app to come back to the article later on: the article is gone, and Google News defaulted back to the starting screen.

Clicking on news articles in my notification bar works maybe 50% of the time now. Normally all it does is open the app itself rather than the actual article I wanted to read (you know, the reason I clicked on it). Also the article are getting a little too hyper-curated: so I clicked on 2 articles about the Bad Batch, that doesn't mean I want 25% of my recommended stories to be about Disney+ or Star Wars now....

App has recently became very buggy, while browsing an article, it would freeze for seemingly no reason, and when escaping back, no other article can be opened (loads forever when opening one). Very annoying as you have to close the app, reopen it, and scroll down again. Helpfully gets fixed soon as it is a quite a deal breaker.
