Ratings and reviews

This is truly a great app. Informal, stories, news, and I can visit apps I can't download, and I love that they're adding AI! However, this breaks down quite a lot. The first time, they thought I was young when I wasn't, and now the excuse is just, 'Something went wrong', and I have to sign in again. It tells me to type in my password, and I do, but it doesn't work. I tried getting a verification code, but it takes 48 hours. Please look into this so I may FaceTime and watch YouTube again.

EDIT: Down to 2 stars because when I receive notifications for Google headlines, and tap on one, they all disappear. I have to go through my notification history to locate these notifications, and even then sometimes it won't route me to the article. Also, using Google voice does not work in the Google app!! I only wish the app worked consistently. Some of the cards don't appear every day. Also, they don't update in a timely manner; I sometimes have yesterday's cards. UPDATE: All fixed!

Stop changing everything. Each change causes millions of hrs wasted on learning new interface. Why remove the Save to Collections option in the Discover feed? it's much easier to read an article on my computer then on my little phone. I always scrolled down the discover feed on my phone and saved titles to read later on my computer. now, it's not possible so I'm just going to stop looking at the discover feed.
