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
★★★★★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.

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.

I'm tired of deleting Google News feeds from obscure sources, plus the stories stay around for many days. Im looking for an alternative
★★☆☆☆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.
