OK, there is a new beta version available now that should fix the issue. To get the beta release, follow these steps:
1. Go to Settings > Google News and then open the License tab, you should see the option “Get updates for pre-release versions of Google News Advanced.”
2. Activate that option and then Save Changes.
3. Go to Dashboard > Updates and see if the new version 1.3.2-beta-4 is available there. You may need to click “Check again.”
4. Update to the new beta-4 version.
Please let me know 🙂
PS: after updating to the beta version and everything is working okay, you can disable the pre-release option on the License tab again. The beta version will remain installed but will get updated once the new stable version is released.
