Google News - Daily Headlines

Unlike the older version, I could no longer login to my current Washington Post subscription due to bugs, so I couldn't read more than a few stories a month in my subscribed newspaper. It also wouldn't remember that I was logged in to my local paper subscription, so I had to login again any time I saw a headline that I wanted to check out. When I contacted customer service (about the first issue, which seemed most pressing), I received no reply. Another annoyance is that the only available widget is the large one. The old version had a smaller widget that didn't include large pictures, and it fit my screen better. It would be nice if they had kept that as an option.

Incredibly buggy. Feels like it's still in alpha, not even beta yet. Google's "simplified view" for web pages is NOT user friendly -- it forces a small font that's difficult to read, and when you zoom, you can't drag, so you have to zoom out and back till you can focus on what you actually want to see. Most embedded videos don't even work -- however the ads do :-\ . This app is not ready for prime time.

I can't stand this app. I don't want video links dominating the news. Almost 100% of the notifications don't work (by the time I click on them, it takes me an empty list of "recent notifications", and provides no way to get to the story). The embedded browser is obnoxious and behaves awfully; I just had one instance where I clicked on a story, and it just brought me to list of other articles by the same publisher. Where is the story whose headline I actually clicked on?

Really poor upgrade from the old News and Weather app. Can no longer customize the Headlines section, you are forced to depends Google's "For You" algorithm. No settings are transferred from the old app, including subscription information. You'll have to fill that out again, and it didn't even work for me when I did. Weather takes a click to see now. All in all a remarkably lazy effort. Will be using News as long as I can.

So much less than the old news and weather app. I can't choose my topics, I can't remove things like sports, I cant add interest features, even mini cards take up a good portion of the screen, I can't add local sections for more than my current location, the local weather is less useful and doesn't give same granularity of detail. I guess data harvesting is easier for Google. Very disappointed I'm stuck with this for news and I'm actively looking for alternatives.
