Current was much better, well I loved it!

once has been changed to newsstand I deleted it!

Sources

Unlike the Apple app, Google Newsstand doesnt let you block certain sources from appearing in the "read now" section. There is a siege of right wing propaganda that makes me sick to see or accidentally open. I cant use this app. I will come back when Google gives us the option to block/mute sources.

The app stopped working while ago

Whats the point why you dont hear from us the app Doesnt work anymore :( update it !!! Says server error when I try to access read now or topics !!

Run around?

Good app, but if you ask to view a topic. Expect 50 million other topics along with it. I could careless about this or that. I want to just read about the selected topic.

Infuriatingly slow and laggy

I only have this app installed on my iPad because its the only way I have to access my digital magazine subscriptions (I dont want to install Chrome on my computer). Even after I have downloaded the latest issue of one magazine, the app takes forever to display a page.

Best News App

Not sure why all the low stars? I love it! Thx Google. I use this as my go to source for news. Once again first to market and an amazing product. Great job :)

Worth the wait!

Dont believe the negative reviews. This app is a quality piece of work. Google knows very well how to make a quality app that is relevant

Download never works

I cannot view a single page of downloaded stuff

Progress?

EDIT 6/28: Back to 1 star. Articles are automatically unlocked when clicked again. I have no idea why it was disabled for those few days before, but it seriously needs to at least be an option to disable it. One accidental tap and a free read gets wasted on something you arent particularly interested in. EDIT 6/27: They got back two stars for bringing back the manual unlocking of articles from limited publications. However you still cannot filter publications, which has left my feed littered with the likes of TMZ and Bollywood updates...

Doesnt work

This app icon is grayed out on my phone, wont open and wont delete.

Zero Stars for increasingly offensive content I cant block

I deleted this app today because I finally had enough of all of the sick, offensive news articles this feed keep serving me. With no way to block the offensive content I have no choice but to say goodbye forever to you.

Malicious News Feeds

Some news feeds like RT Russian TV news and right wing blogs showing as news cannot be removed

No way to block highlight content

Want to see the propaganda of whomever is paying Alphabet the most today? This is the app for you.

Magazine is not there

The instructions I was given by the subscription werent usable and the app isnt any more helpful. What a waste of my time.

Like the app, but it uses a TON of space

Saving offline content (which doesnt even seem to work half the time) uses up several gigs of data. And doesnt delete it. The only way to free up the space again is to delete the app and start over. Its too bad, because other than that its a pretty good news app.

Overshadowed by mainstream news, doesnt work well for following blogs or other content.

Such promise!! From what I understood, this app could take all the "blogs" I follow and make them into a magazine that I can thumb through. Well I added my blogs and deleted the news sources that automatically get added, but all I see is Trump. Tons and tons of Trump articles. Oi. I finally found where the content I WANT to see lives, but unlike the all the google added news articles (which I cant get to go away), I cant thumb through the stuff I want to see. Each page and article has to be opened individually. Might as well just click them from my bookmarks in my browser. Such a shame!

Doesnt know what I like and dislike (current version)

I compulsively use this app. Buy lately it keeps showing stuff that I have no interest whatsoever, a whole category that I dont want to see at all

Best Way to Read News in IPhone

Love this so much. Highly recommended.

Who approved this release?

Update: 9/6 - you download the articles but theyre not available offline? Ridiculous. Fix this. Uninstalling. Previous review: Unviewable on the iPad Air. First, margins extend past the screen. And then, only 60% of screen real estate is used. With a two black bars occupying unused screen space. And Im a Google devotee, but I cant hang with this one. Sorry google!

Unreliable

This Ap does half of the time not open up and I have to un instal it and even then it often does not open is an good Ap when working but needs fixing so I can rely on it to work
