I was reading through my Google News articles and saved some special interests. Suddenly, it said that "Google News and Weather old version is no longer available". What happens to all my saved articles? I didn't even get a choice whether I wanted to update as I have "automatic updates" turned off. Don't like this NEW version at all.
Everyone needs to dump this app for Google News-Daily Headlines which was supposed to be the replacement for this unsupported app according to Google 3 or 4 years ago. Why is it still here I don't know. The new app even has a weather button and local settings also, just like the old one. Google News-Daily Headlines by Google LLC, look for it on Play store, you'll be happy you did.
I want more articles visible in the the resized widget, this isn't ready to replace all the functionality of the old news and weather app! I do like the interface but would appreciate a dark mode like the old one has.
I don't know what happened to this app. It used to be amazing.. now it constantly loses all my information and won't remember my selections. I'm putting in the same info repeatedly and it doesn't stick. Very annoying and extremely disappointing. I used this app multiple times every day and now it is useless.
I uninstalled this preinstalled application from my cell because it would malfunction as I was reading the news. Then I came to the Play Store to try to install it from scratch. Seems that I am not the only person with a problem getting it to operate. This is fine as the articles selected published typically were one sided narrative which made me seek other articles online to give the, "rest of the story" as the late Paul Harvey would eloquently say it.
As of 10/8/2018 this awesome news & weather app has been discontinued by Google unfortunately. This was one great app but now they want you to use The Google news app which is just hot trash, not user friendly, bad user interface & just plain slow. Why would you eliminate one of your best apps ever? Unbelievable & just bad business if you ask me.
In the last few months, the Google News app has started crashing my phone (Pixel 3). I'll be scrolling through my news feed when suddenly, the screen blacks out, and then the phone restarts. It doesn't happen with any other app.
IT'S BACK!! Just as great as before! Please keep this beloved news & weather app. I can't believe it! Thank you for this google! Edit: They took it away! Went for the morning news & it:s gone. What a disappointment! Please bring it back. New google news is terrible.The pages reset to the top, so you can't read the articles.
No news is good news, now that this app only displays the weather. Also has a clean, ad-free UI; and resizeable home screen widgets. It's perfect. :3
Doesn't connect very well while other apps don't seem to have a problem. Even after refresh it still can't connect to network.
This app came pre-installed on a device bought in May 2019. It never worked, but it took some searching on android sites to learn that the reason was that it was discontinued the previous year. Why could Google support site not have this information, and why is the app still available in Play Store with no mention of this fact? Very frustrating.
Edit: I downloaded Google News and it is working normally. Deleting this. . Can't get this to work on Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+, Android 11. I hit the refresh button and it says it can't get the news right now but it works on my phone normally.
On my quite new Huawei "Can't be updated at the moment" - got this msg although fully connected to internet. So same experience as many others. Have uninstalled... My old Samsung tablet has a built-in Google News (not same icon) that works terrific. But probably not same app...
RIP, no longer working. I loved this app how it displayed news and had local content. The new update to Google news is a pale comparison, I will now need to find a better news feed, don't like the upgrade at all.
Its not showing updated fixes on the app even when I've installed it back . Still shows "check internet connections". Nothing can be seen on this app. Has internet connenction issue. Kindly solve the issue developers.. @Google
This application is not working 😭 the older version says gathering your news but the newer version of this application says news cant'be updated right now check you internet connection and try again and I truned all prmissions but nothing is working and I disabled ,forcestopped,cleared data and cache nothing is working😭 prmissions. But my internet connection is fine ! Please fix ther error problem please!🙏😭😄😃
Great app... No longer supported but still comes pre-installed on some phones and is still listed in the app store. Google dropped the ball on this one and let us all down. Not like you Google... Very disappointed...
Bring back News and Weather! Or at least let it keep updating feeds. It allowed customizing feeds and felt more like reading a newspaper. The new Google News app does not let me see the stories I want to see, at least, not without clicking through a lot of different screens. News and Weather had it all, in one customizable feed.
