android-app://com.google.android.apps.magazines

What it is

com.google.android.apps.magazines is the Android package name of the Google News app. The android-app:// scheme is how Android identifies a native app as the source of a visit.

Why there's no full URL

Apps aren't web pages, so there's no page URL to pass along. Android lets the app identify itself with an android-app:// URI built from its package name, and that's all the referrer contains.

What traffic it represents

Visits where someone tapped a link inside the Google News Android app and the app (or the browser tab it opened) reported itself as the referrer.
