Great app

Great app. Use it daily. I would like two new features added. 1. Ability to clear cashed files. 2. Filter news articles just by sources I select.

Widget support?

Can we please have widget support, similar to the default news widget or what Flipboard offers for our top stories? This app is great, really, but that is the one feature it is desperately needing!!!

Good news aggregator

This a good news aggregator. It needs better customization options, such as hiding sports or local stories.

Used to be great, now shallow

This was the best news reading app. Last update turned it into a fluff magazine. Will be deleting.

Love it.

Thank you, this is just what I needed to get my daily news fix. Keep up the great work.

Horrible new layout

I used to love the old lay out with the categories on top and you could just left and right to switch them. Not its obtuse and confusing.

Finally....

This app has crossed the threshold. I use it daily to get my news. Love the new update / function.

Too smart

I used to be able to view many more news stories. With so many sources selected I should have a never ending stream of stories to read but instead its finite

A delight to use and completely accessible with voiceover

A wonderful example of a very usable and completely inclusive app.

Best news app by far.

This is my favorite news app. Its easy to use and I like how you can customize it for you. I love Google apps as they are usually user friendly. Must get this app!

Finally

I use this app everyday. I love the organization. I wish Apple news could figure this out.

Miss the old layout

Trying to be too much like Apple News now. I prefer the older format as it was much more targeted in topics Im interested in than this new jumbled mess.

Great news app, should have tried earlier

Absolutely amazing news app, love the fluid animations and save offline feature.

Love it!

This app gives me everything I need! It has the top 5 stories and doesnt focus on just one area of the news. I can see the world news as well as pop culture news all in the same place! Would recommend to everyone!

Concise News Overview

I can quickly view my news sources to obtain a concise overview of the topics I am following. A simple tap lets me drill down to more detail.

Best news app out there for either platform

Best news app out there for either platform

Best news aggregator

Love the new version!

Just a subscription vehicle

Ran out of articles to read on NYT. Wants me to subscribe. If wanted to do that I wouldnt need this app. supposed to be refreshed each week or month but didnt do it for January. Stopped using it today.

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...

Not enough control over the app

This app has a lot going for it except for 2 things. One it doesnt put articles in order from most recent to oldest. For example I see articles that say 23 hours ago then 4 days ago then 3 hours ago. The other thing is the user needs complete control over what is showed in the app. The highlight area needs to show highlights from the articles we choose. Stop shoving liberal news down our throats. Allow us to choose only what we want to see. And just so you other users know; when you stop following a particular article it just chooses another liberal article for you. They never stop coming. Even when you uncheck all the categories. The reason this is happening is because Google is being paid by vox, new york times and every other liberal news outlet to put their articles first. So its only latest news from a liberal outlet paying Google to show their news first. But here is something to remember Google. Conservatives just won the house, Senate and the presidency. So that should tell you something. The people of this country dont want what your trying to force on them and if you keep trying to make them accept it then there is plenty of other companies that will gladly take our business and give us what we want. You ask for feedback. Well here it is. Lets see what you do about it.
