Ratings and reviews

Way too many pop up adds (and growing). Unintuitive interface, with a clear lack of ability to define in any way, the type of news you would like to view. Carefully prevents the ability to choose to not view certain kinds of content, instead forcing you to globally block much broader news categories or nothing. It's either exactly by design or extremely poor engineering, not sure.

Notifications about latest headlines are generally irrelevant to my interests. I have tried selecting the "see fewer like this" several times on specific news notifications and it 1) wipes All Google news notifications from my queue, including ones that have nothing to do with each other and 2) selecting the option seems to have no effect on the recommendation algorithm, as I still get the same undesired topics in my queue. Overall it's a good concept but it does not work as expected.

What a joke. Call yourselves programmers? Just go away and start flipping burgers to make a living. Difficult to use. Over time, the embedded adverts are becoming more and more intrusive to the point that I cannot find the news content. Additionally, the ad content that is served up is absolutely garbage and has nothing to do with my profile or preferences. Instead of constantly hitting the 3-dot menu to open in the browser, I'm finding a different source for my news. Goodbye.
