Ratings and reviews

Does it deliver you news? Yes. Can you tailor it? No. The app still sends you notifications for articles on subjects, but if you select "fewer than this"v from the notification, it doesn't quite get the memo. I feel like it's aggressive, and, for that, I'm out. Besides, the news wall in the Google App has to option to tap on a menu button on an article and specifically state "no more on this [related topic] which this app seems to lack.

The app itself is a great way to find personalized news, but the built-in browser ruins the app. If you click on an ad and you want to go back to the article you're reading, it either sends you the top of the article or to the app's homepage. By using the AMP browser, a lot of website functionality stops working. I do wish that it had a more readily available browsing history. Sometimes, the feed refreshes whilst I'm still reading. At this point, all I use the app for is to open in browser.

It's actually quite sad how bad this app is compared to the original. The latest headlines tab is showing news from 3 days ago. The "For you" page had nothing for me, and it's just a cluttered mess. I can't customize the other tabs, and remove ones I don't want. I follow the Cubs, and it's showing Cubs news from LAST MONTH AND OLDER. It's time to find an alternative.
