Works well but ultimately useless. There's no option to automatically open the articles externally, so they open in the app with ads, which makes them unreadable. There's an option once you're in the internal browser to open externally, but if you do that for every article then you might as well just use the browser version to begin with. I realize the entire point of the internal browser is to display the ads, so it's not surprising. But a single ad of any type, any location, is one too many.

Within the last couple versions, they've removed the ability to "show more" under the options next to an article under "For you". This was a great way to see a few more articles on topics you migh like without having to save something under "Following". Now you can only suggest less of an article type and I'm not sure how to easily see more of something. -- They also haven't fixed the AMP pages where a site uses a script when you swipe back, it shows a "more articles" screen with more ads.

Just no. Apparently there's been an update, and said update has done away with very reason I like "Google News" in the first place. The text on one side and a tiny picture has been replaced by a monstrous photo more than four times the size of the old one which takes up the entire screen and makes it almost impossible to focus on the text title below. Also, the "For You" is just generic sports and politics, no local news, no articles on my favorite topics. Completely worthless now.
