5 stars: Update: Yep, you fixed it with today's (July 7) update! Works fine again. Thanks Google! Today's (June 6, 2022) update has rendered the app useless. It crashes instantly upon opening and says:
4 stars: Can you please add
3 stars: For the most part, I love this app. The main drawback is its refreshing & continually bringing you back to the top of the newsfeed after the screen orientation changes or you finish reading an article. It would be like reading an article in the newspaper and then having to go all the way back to the front page and search through the section again for what you wanted to read next. Please fix this awful glitch.
3 stars: The old app was so much better. This new one is a mish-mash of an interface. Harder to find what you want, no apparent way to customize the order of categories, and my custom topics show nothing but unrelated garbage, whereas it didn't before. **Edit: The various updates have brought improvements, but it's still nowhere near as good as the old app.
2 stars: It used to be very convenient and deserved give stars, but became very annoying with one of the latest updates, where the app keeps refreshing very often while you are browsing through the list of news. The problem is that at every refresh, the list goes back to the top story, so you never manage to scan more than a few stories. I hope this issue can be resolved to give it give stars.
