Ratings and reviews

When I hang up a phone call it just starts playing audio from news feed. The screen is off, I wasn't using the news app before the call. Hadn't even opened it. And it just autoplays. And as if that weren't bad enough there is no tray controls. And if I open the app the video isn't even there, so it's just playing on repeat. Can't make it stop without force closing the app.

I cannot exclude topics. I have no interest in celebrities, sports and other stuff. It's a waste of attention to have those topics in the feed. Google News and Weather was much better, easier to use and gave me what I needed with fewer taps. This new version, which was forced, is less appealing, less customisable and harder to find what I need.

This app has one of the biggest flaws I've seen in a Google product, the inability to unsubscribe from a magazine or publication once you have subscribed. Yes, that's right, once you subscribe to something it is there for life. They tell you to go to the play store and under subscriptions you can cancel it but that is not what I want to do. I want to unsubscribe so I can sign in on my account that has a years worth of issues, but now I am stuck and can't read the magazines that I have paid for.
