Unlike the older version, I could no longer login to my current Washington Post subscription due to bugs, so I couldn't read more than a few stories a month in my subscribed newspaper. It also wouldn't remember that I was logged in to my local paper subscription, so I had to login again any time I saw a headline that I wanted to check out. When I contacted customer service (about the first issue, which seemed most pressing), I received no reply. Another annoyance is that the only available widget is the large one. The old version had a smaller widget that didn't include large pictures, and it fit my screen better. It would be nice if they had kept that as an option.

So much less than the old news and weather app. I can't choose my topics, I can't remove things like sports, I cant add interest features, even mini cards take up a good portion of the screen, I can't add local sections for more than my current location, the local weather is less useful and doesn't give same granularity of detail. I guess data harvesting is easier for Google. Very disappointed I'm stuck with this for news and I'm actively looking for alternatives.

Can't easily filter out news sources that I don't like. I don't want spoilers from movies and TV shows, and they're fairly frequent. Also, on a limited data plan, this app chewed through 2+ GB of data in a couple hours in the background, not even using it. Fix these issues, and I might give it another chance, until then, I'm uninstalling it.
