So here's my honest take on Google News - Daily Headlines. I've tested a bunch of news apps and this one's pretty solid. The personalized briefing is super convenient and I like how you can customize the content. The local news feature is a nice touch too. On the downside, the algorithm can be a bit off sometimes and the ads can get old. But it's free to use, which is nice. Overall, it's a great way to stay on top of the day's events without having to hunt down articles yourself.

Description

Been using Google News – Daily Headlines for a couple months now. It’s basically a news aggregator app that pulls stories from all over and organizes them into a personalized feed for you. Pretty solid if you’re into staying up to date on what’s happening in the world.

Here’s what you do – there’s your main feed with the top headlines, and you can customize it to focus on your interests. There’s also a ‘Your Briefing’ section that gives you a quick rundown of the day’s biggest stories. And you can browse news from your local area too, which is kinda nice.

Look, if you’re into following the news, you’ll probably like this app. It’s not perfect – sometimes the algorithm gets a bit wonky and the ads can be annoying. But overall it does the job of keeping you informed without feeling overwhelming. Worth checking out.

I got this for a magazine subscription as Google Assistant already gives me general news links. But it's really bad for magazine management. If you're reading a long article, short...
