Description from store Google News is a computer-generated news site that aggregates headlines from news sources worldwide, groups similar stories together and displays them according to each reader's personalized interests. Traditionally, news readers first pick a publication and then look for headlines that interest them. We do things a little differently, with the goal of offering our readers more personalized options and a wider variety of perspectives from which to choose. On Google News we offer links to several articles on every story, so you can first decide what subject interests you and then select which publishers’ accounts of each story you’d like to read. Click on the headline that interests you and you'll go directly to the site which published that story. Our articles are selected and ranked by computers that evaluate, among other things, how often and on what sites a story appears online. We also rank based on certain characteristics of news content such as freshness, location, relevance and diversity. As a result, stories are sorted without regard to political viewpoint or ideology and you can choose from a wide variety of perspectives on any given story. We'll continue to improve Google News by adding sources, fine-tuning our technology and providing Google News to readers in even more regions. Features Personalized news: No one can read all the news that’s published every day, so why not set up your page to show you the stories that best represent your interests? Alerts: You can sign up to receive weekly, daily or as-it-happens email alerts on any topic that interests you. News for your mobile phone: If you have a mobile data plan, you can access a special version of Google News right from your mobile phone. Feeds: You can receive updates of various sections of Google News or Google News search results by subscribing to RSS or Atom feeds in your favorite feed reader. News archive search: Search and explore information from historical archives dating back over 200 years.

(2020-10-16) Jay Patel: Useless.. it just redirects you to web version of google news. Is this even official google app?
(2020-04-02) DEC VRIO: ... it's no good. can not be removed either!
(2019-02-10) Bartosz Sowa: language management is very inconvenient and the app (on desktop) always opens in English US mobile app used to be good, but was replaced by a much worse one
(2018-10-20) paul williams: Cannot personalize it
(2018-08-11) I don't see any advantage to using this app rather than just the website. I was also hoping to be able to turn off the sports section but cannot
(2018-07-28) Nicolas Van Tomme: Was good when blocking trash news like CNN, NBC, CBS and the list is long. I switch to "Good News" I starting to get tired of google, this thing, same goes on google search engines, youtube and so on seems like google also want's to be the next one that loses 120 Billion in a day on stock markets!
(2017-11-01) paul gill: Functionality has been stripped out of this for some reason. Only category left is "top stories". There are far better news apps than this thing.
(2017-10-19) James L Arnn: Very good news app. I read it daily.
(2017-09-19) Nobody likes the new format. When will the devs come to their senses and revert Google News back to the old version?
(2017-09-18) Nathan Amp: Very biased news source...
(2017-09-10) I much preferred the old format. Further, the news sources offered are just so-so. And the "headline" news is usually dated. You can do better, Google.
(2017-09-09) David Smith: Most headlines are really editorials (always liberal) and not really news. Very disingenuous. Expected from the likes of Google. (superiority complex)
(2017-08-27) SALEM A O ALKHALDI: great
(2017-07-30) oracle see: I am sick of Google left-wing propaganda BS. We need an app that allows us to block The Guardian, the BBC, et al.
(2017-07-13) papiko75: SINCE APPARENTLY WHAT WAS TO BE A BETTER GOOGLE NEWS JUST NOTICE THE DISAPPEARANCE OF THE WEATHER INFO,GREAT JOB THANKS FOR THE WIZARDS DOING SUCH A GOOD JOB ME GOING TO CLOSE THAT DOWN AND LOOK FOR SOME SERIOUS NEWS
(2017-07-12) Bryan Pritchett: The new format is a travesty. And an abomination. It's a travbomination.
(2017-07-11) Dan Traylor: don't like the new look and format
(2017-07-09) John D: New format sucks.
(2017-07-01) The redesign is horrible, making it useless.
(2017-06-28) James Ivers: new format is horible. doesn't work for me. going to switch to yahoo or something else for news page. Way to much scrolling an clicking now needed to see what used to be all on one page. Too much wasted space on the page now. Oh I forgot maybe this space will be used for advertising!!!
(2017-06-08) Anna Meadows Helvie: Google News's so-called personalization is terrible. I set mine up to show certain sources frequently and others rarely...went to "Suggested" section and almost every story was from one of my "rarely" picks. Also, there are some news sources that creep in that are biased to the point of lying, and there is no way to block them. Why can't I block a news source? Finally, there is no way to hide a story. Sometimes a gruesome story, with gruesome pictures, will come through and there is no way to hide it or get rid of it. I am looking for another newsfeed. DONE with Google's.
(2017-05-11) Cameron Henderson: Great App Very Useful :)
(2017-04-18) Fred Cheshire: This would be a lot better if you could BLOCK specific news sources. It feels like certain sources are being rammed down your throat. I also have this on iOS. It's even worse. I'm removing it.
(2017-04-14) Larry Grulke: It gives a good overall picture of what is happening in the world.
(2017-02-18) Alan Hughes: Just a bookmark, not the actual app, and it doesn't even book mark the actual web page https://play.google.com/newsstand/web/
(2017-02-13) Papa Douglas: Works great!
(2017-02-06) Jason Hopkins: #IR😎^_~🙋✝ im so hum bull lol x
(2017-01-27) L Smith: Great for left-leaning biased news stories
(2017-01-16) syl pete: I am deleting this. Slow updates.
(2016-12-25) William “Bear” Bottoms: I have used GNs for a very long time. It pulls articles from a wide variety of sources, though lately I find more liberal views. I hate view points when I read the news.
(2016-11-29) John Bales: It like it, but one important feature is lacking. The ability to mark a news story as read. A large part of my daily news on Google News consists of stories which I read, sometimes days before. It would be nice to have a "Mark as read" feature for each story.
(2016-11-29) dawwelin: Bias. censoring true media sites such as infowars. promoting other fake sites. not worth my time
(2016-11-20) Megan Hardy: becaues of the reports are funny also from the play store on your android'
(2016-11-19) Totally biased news app! Presents news sites prominent in only one line of thinking; they think they are right but they are 'left'!
(2016-10-31) Frank Bonarrigo: Could use a more Graphic based interface. See news like you read in a paper. Not simple headlines in text only
(2016-10-28) Michael Christian Buratti: To be perfect needs a sort of RSS and a way to eradicated some sources.
(2016-10-07) Tai le van: kuhua02 privacy policy TN.zetdai ca
(2016-09-26) Pamela Bianca Borromeo: Thank you for providing us with the most valuable news! :) God Bless you!
(2016-08-25) chris reddersen: Even after customizing, still a very biased news source. 12 tornado's rip through Indiana, and hardly any news...not sure if its google or the major affiliates just aren't covering it because there was no death toll? I recommend "good news" from the app store. it has many more sources making it easier to customize.
(2016-08-19) Kevin McCoy: Trying to switch from Yahoo to Google News, but the page is hideous. PLEASE allow for different background colors at least, the bright white is really unpleasant.
(2016-08-10) ROBERT E. SCHULTZ: liberal
(2016-06-12) Kerry Laser: Too many ads!
(2016-06-09) Fish: Thanks and love it
(2016-06-02) Nani2R&G: Seems like anything worth following up on are on news sites requiring membership and frequently subscriptions (meaning $$). Otherwise, I agree with Steve Hall that there is way too much entertainment garbage and not enough free, anonymous news content.
(2016-05-25) Ngoc Dao: R7score Love
(2016-05-01) Jay Cie (Bry): I love Google News because I can set it up to show my choice of the type of articles I want to see and yes, this app does sync with my settings on the Google News website. Thank you!
(2016-04-27) Tom Mcardle: fast
(2016-04-17) Spike 張玄昊 (BK): Just a shortcut.
(2016-04-12) Steve Hall: Would be more accurately named Google Tabloid. Sources are questionable and seem to favor entertainment style and articles over informative, news-worthy ones. Customization is very limited. Actual feed readers (e.g., Feedly) or a singular news outlet site is more satisfying.
(2016-03-05) great information on every thing from your local to your fox news..
