Ratings and reviews

used to be a good app. now not so much. too many items hidden behind pay walls. need a way to suppress those. I don't want large pictures in the feed index. this recently changed. I want to read the news not look at pictures. I'm not sure if there is another app that does this but I'm looking. 8/23 now borders on useless. no mini cards at all. I want news not pictures

I HATE that I had to get rid of the Google News and Weather app. I loved the weather widget, and there are none like it that show you in one row the weather for the next few days, with the highs and lows. Also, can't find a good app to show you the weather in the app quickly for the temp, humidity, precipitation and wind nicely. FINALLY, where are the Local sections? Those were my favorite pieces...

Each new incarnation of Google news has been more tedious and less intuitive than the last. First swiping away articles disappeared, now the articles are grouped by topic. While this is great in theory, entire topics can't be removed at one time. For example, if I'm not interested in reading about the stock market crash, I have to give all five of the associated articles a "thumbs down" individually. It is also no longer possible to designate non-preferred topics in the feed. To use the stock market example again, the prior option of, "not interested in stories about the stock market" has been removed. I feel that I'm now spending more time clearing out the things I don't want to read than accessing articles of use or interest. The lack of scrolling in the widget is also disappointing. On a brighter note, the new app is pretty.
