Ive tried several but Googles algorithms are the best at selecting stories Ill find interesting, better than the iOS news app by far. I havent had any of the iOS9 issues others have reported.
Google News App Reviews
HELP! MY FAVORITE AGGREGATOR IS BROKEN
Latest update? whatever the issue,I can no longer get it to work.tried everything. Please help a news junkie get his news back! Only message I get is "there was a server error. Please try again later."
Great way to read your news, but
I love this as my main news app but, just like on my tablet, some of the pictures for the related article just dont match. For example, an article reviewing the latest Nexus phone had a picture of (I kid you not) what looked like a dead animal that had been found in permafrost in the frozen Tundra. Other than that, the design of the app is great.
Kinda like Google Reader except terrible
The design is kind of a mess with that ugly font, and you cant really refine things too much. MSNs News app is cleaner and simpler. There is an ability to add RSS feeds but the whole experience is clumsy. This is a far inferior version of its predecessor, Google Reader.
Missing functions
Pretty well designed app, but, is missing basic functionality like manage topics. There is no option to remove topics.
NOT BAD BUT...
Glad to see this service getting updated. One of my favorite services for getting info on various subjects. UPDATE NEEDED: Need to be allowed to block news sites that you dont want to see. Shouldnt have to keep seeing PAY WALLS because the articles you show from the New York Times and others keep showing. I dont pick them anymore and I dont want to even see them. Glad to use this on my iPhone/iPad. Keep the updates coming.
Nice app
Really good app i like the new update is nice i love the app i hope this app is continue like now but i like to see more news in spanish
Magazines
Thank you for adding them!
Crashes constantly since update
Crashes every time after about a half-dozen articles are read. iOS9.
This is much better than Apple native news app
This is much better than Apple native news app in my opinion and so far I have not run into any crashes.
Offline Article arent working
Automatic refresh isnt really helpful when you are in the NYC subway. App refresh too often and lost all my offline articles everytime I have access to mobile single. Also, i think user should be able to set time to download all news at their desire time. I want to download all news 1hr before I go to work and read it on the subway.
Love the interface but not the name
Love the interface but not the name. It should be just Play News. The whole Play Newsstand just looks disgraceful to the Apple UI.
Crashes every time in iOS 9
No updates have fixed the consistent and maddening instability. App crashes every time I use it in iOS 9. Extremely unreliable. **This is the third update to this review and I am still flummoxed at the infuriating consistency of the apps prolific 100% crashing streak** ...app deleted
Stability Issue Since Update
The program continually crashes since the last update. However, I like the layout and content delivery. Please fix the stability issue!
Love the app but old news has to go
The app is great except that I constantly have the same ~ 10 stories appear from 2013-2014. If the feed was all current news I would rate much higher.
Good app but keeps crashing.
I really like using Google Newstand. It is very good at fine tuning which stories I would like to read. However the app constantly crashes on my iPad mini. I wish Google would fix it.
Moderately horrible
Crashes randomly in the middle of reading an article... Prob hasnt been fixed in 18 months since I had it... Meh
Yeah
Great app with excellent animations and an overall simple UI. However, IT NEEDS THE ABILITY TO CLEAR CACHE. the cache builds up pretty quickly and there isnt a way to delete it. Add the feature an 5 stars for sure!
Still crashes a lot, cant believe Google would put crap like this out there.
Great layout and easy to navigate, plenty of free reads for paid newspapers. BUT the app crashes about every 2mins while using. Once the crashing issue is fixed this is a 5star app.
App is ruined. I never asked for Top News!
Why do I care about Top News or Featured Articles? You took a great app and killed it.
