I've been using this app for many years, since it first came out. Unfortunately, Google has made it absolutely unusable as it is choked with ads. Not just the occasional ad, but infested with them to the point of making it a burden to attempt to read an article. Google has made it worse in the last few months. Most of the time I abandon an article midway because it's just not worth fighting the ads. Uninstalled today.

By the time I get half or 3/4 through the feed, stories won't load. Other than that, the algorithm does a pretty good job of identifying my interests. Edit:@google I changed both phone and carrier, downloaded app again, still does it, so it's something on your end. Definitely a problem app, my new pixel 4a started rebooting randomly, about once an hour, as soon as I deleted this app it stopped. Edit: revised review from 2 stars down to 1 star, the pop-ups have gotten out of hand,not worth dealin

Terrible. First of all, the stories often freeze while I'm scrolling through them, making it take forever to read them. I often don't make it all the way through. It seems to freeze mostly as it's loading an ad that I'm trying to scroll past, so I end up stuck on a blank, unloaded ad that I won't be reading anyway. Even worse, if I rotate the phone, it reloads the entire news story and restarts at the top, so I lose my place. (It's easy to do this accidentally if I move across the room to, say, take something off the stove. It happens all the time.) On top of that, some the news sites limit me to maybe 3 stories a month, and when I rotate the phone and it reloads the page, that counts as another story. I can reach my limit on a single story. Overall, it's a very poorly thought-out and poorly written app.
