Comments on Google News - Daily Headlines for Android

★★★★★ Michele Motta · May 26, 2026

I'm loving this app, and I have been using it for years. It just keeps getting better and better. It seems like the developers have been switching back and forth between being able to open the original web page using an overflow menu access to the top of the page or through the bottom, and I prefer the bottom it's much easier for one hand. Update May 2026: yep. Still prefer the bottom overflow menu access; on these larger phones its much better for one-handed access

★★★★★ Jose Melendez · May 10, 2026

The app is great! I've been using it for a long time. It's a great source of news and keeps getting better.

★★★★★ Geronimo Dudley · May 13, 2026

I found the reporting feasible and easy to read and understand. The information was pertinent to today's political climate. I appreciate the views of the reporting. Thanks for providing me the opportunity to get caught up with what is happening in the News.

★★★★★ sunny vast · May 3, 2026

I am happy with the app. Apart from getting quality and variety of news and features, I am able to save what I need.

★★★★★ David Brager · May 4, 2026

Google News is effective and useful to a point, but now that most news outlets want to charge, I get sent to a few places I've had to block because they want to charge for everything. Some news I don't need.

★☆☆☆☆ Algimantas Medelis · May 26, 2026

Telling Google that you don't like any news about Sports is like talking to the wall. Google - no Sports means NO SPORTS!

★★☆☆☆ Arthur Word · May 12, 2026

I selected the option to block NBC News, and then when I refresh the page the article is still there from NBC News. The option to block articles from a particular site obviously doesn't work.

★☆☆☆☆ Jim G · May 25, 2026

I keep telling the app to stop showing me obituaries. I keep clicking show fewer stories like this. I have sent numerous feedback via their feedback mechanism. Complaining that I do not want to see obituaries in my feed. I tell them I do not want to see obituaries in my feed. I tell them I do not want to see obituaries in my feed. For some reason they cannot stop sending me obituaries. This is a company that has AI. train the AI that I don't want to see obituaries in his feed.

★★☆☆☆ Andrew Baker · May 26, 2026

Interface is nice, but it regularly adds new news sources that are of increasingly lower quality. Became more frustrating as more AI written or list based article were prioritized in the personal feed.
