Ratings and reviews

Absolute disaster over last 6 months. Updates CONSTANTLY while trying to use it, and refreshes back to the top of the feed. Click into an article and click out ... It refreshes back to the top of the screen. Scroll down through articles, it refreshes back to the top of the screen. With each refresh stories disappear and can't be found again. Absolutely awful experience compared to simple Google News performance of the past. I've tried clearing cache, reinstalling, nothing fixes it.

I used to use this app every day. I opened it today and it was redesigned in a way that's 1000% worse. Now there are like 6 articles bunched up on the screen in little tiles instead of 2 or 3 in screen-wide tiles. The new tiles are so small that most of the time the headline gets cut off! Worse yet, there's no option to change back. I probably will never use this app again. It's unbearable.

The reading experience in the app browser has degraded from bad to horrendous. It is often necessary to open the article in the related web page (using the preferred browser). The number of ads injected within content has been increasing and increasing and increasing. Ads overlays often make practically impossible just reading the article. The app is still good for simply scanning headlines. Would be great if it offered an option to ALWAYS open articles in the source web page...
