Ratings and reviews

Hit or miss with opening news articles. I often times just have to go pull up the actual website once I know what article I want. I get notified of new news but the feed doesn't refresh. It's often stuck on the same stories and take a couple of refresher before it goes through. Yes, it does get stuck on previous days too. It's not just that there isn't anything new. Really do like that I can get full coverage on stories so I don't have to pay for certain websites reporting.

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.
