Kudos to Google!

My absolute hands-down favorite thing Google has is the AI feature. I was very, very lucky to begin using it about two years ago, and it has been very useful to me. The information provided is fact based very succinct, and user-friendly. I give Google so much credit for being such a trendsetter in our world today and allowing everyday people to have such technology at the tip of their fingers. The incredible thing with Google is they offer the use of AI and their other programs often times for free which is very rare these days. I enjoy being able to use the speaking feature to search on Google. I also like the camera feature on Google to examine things and look up things I am curious about.

Love the chance to experience!

I love how you could just go into google! Insider is so much fun to learn anything you want so much to choose from! I had a lot of other things on my phone so it ended up saying PUK! I could not even make a single call from it! It got me into so much trouble! Because I had to wait like four weeks before I could even start to get it worked on! Long sad story! Anyway, I had to much running on my phone is what they told my sister who’s in charge of my phone! Yah, Sister and I have been battling back and forth because now I don’t have anything of my life that I did have! Loved the experience hating the outcome! Praying for everything to work itself out again!

Disappointing Image Scanning and Redundant Features

I recently tried out the Google app and found it to be quite underwhelming, particularly in terms of its image scanning functionality. Despite promoting this feature, it failed to deliver accurate results consistently. The app's inability to reliably scan and recognize images led to a frustrating user experience. Moreover, beyond the image scanning feature, the Google app offers little added value compared to simply using Google's website. It essentially replicates the browsing experience, making it redundant to install the app if the image scanning feature doesn't work effectively. Considering the primary selling point of the app falls short, it begs the question of why one should bother with it at all. Until Google improves and refines the image scanning capability, I see little reason to recommend this app over using the reliable and well-established Google search engine directly through a web browser.

Google Pay (outsourced call centers)

Not sure if my issue is with Google or just Google pay… but I have been trying to resolve an issue for over a week regarding a suspended Google pay account due to my husband accidentally reporting fraudulently charges (forgetting his card was tied to my account to pay you tube). We have submitted every document under the sun to get the account reinstated, but Google sends the same generic emails and when you speak to someone on the phone the calls are outsourced and the people on the other end are of no assistance. So all because of an accident which I am sure another person in the world has done before I can never use Google pay again to pay stuff!!! Like just delete the card; it doesn’t even exist anymore!!! I should still be able to either use my other payment methods or add a new payment method. Instead Google pay is basically like you can never use Google pay again. Ridiculous!!!

iPhone Frozen by Scam

For the second time in the past few months using google , I encountered a scam. I opened an article and the only thing I saw was a message telling me I had a virus and I should hit Okay. My phone was frozen. I couldn’t close it or go back. I deleted the app as it was the only way to regain control. I’ve also had experiences where the headline in the newsfeed did not match the article once opened. Too many ads makes it impossible to read some articles. I’ll only use it to open articles from sources I recognize. UDATE it happened again using google today and I had to delete google again. I certainly don’t feel safe using the google app and if it happens again I will not reload it. It happened again so I don’t plan to download and use it again and will probably uninstall any google related apps/programs. I was opening an article when it happened. I can’t be the only one having this problem.

Song hum feature

Every time I say “what’s this song” into the microphone it takes me to a google search of instructions on how to use the feature instead of actually performing the feature itself. I also can’t find the “song search” button after exploring the whole app, despite the unwarranted google search telling me there is a button. Going to have to rate a 1 star and uninstall the app for faulty software and false advertising. Unfortunate considering this is a cool idea but it seems to have been executed very poorly. I would suggest actually putting a button there instead of lying to your users, and making it so when I say “What’s this song” it performs the actual advertised feature instead of taking me to a google search. Seems like a simple and obvious fix. Hopefully you all can get back to me and let me know if I’m doing something wrong, if the song search button is hidden somewhere strange in the app, or if the programming is just completely inept.

Inconvenient

It used to be good, but now, from what I'm assuming was an update, made it into an overall inconvenience. The websites you want to open do not open into a full screen. At the top of these web pages is a pull down button—like on an iPhone that drops down notifications and reminders—and it completely takes away the main back button that used to be an arrow. Because of this, whenever there are pop-up ads on a webpage, you simply can’t just go back to the webpage itself, but have to completely exit it altogether. Another thing is that Google will constantly refresh itself when you leave. This is fine when you leave the app for a long amount of time but if you have a webpage open and close it for a few seconds or a minute, then it will completely refresh and you will loose whatever it was you were doing. Also, Google listens—and watches—to everything you say and do.

Google

You say one thing about using our personal information then in another app you have a laundry list of personal information you collect. If that isn’t enough you sell our information to a 3rd party who sells it to , only God knows who and how many. All the while telling us how safe we are using your product. Well being one who has had a problem with having my social security number used and my credit card compromised several times, I’m more than a little nervous about anyone collecting my personal information. I really think we should be allowed to opt out of your information collecting process. We just may not need all of that wonderful experience that comes along with the possibility of having our identity stolen. I know my opinion won’t change a thing but I know there are many others out there who feel the same way. Donna

One thing that annoys me …

I receive notifications through many channels some I follow down their rabbit hole others I delete. I followed one this morning about iOS options and how to keep or turn them off. So, the first one about turning off phone call banners made me go look and change the way the call interrupts my work flow (if any). Then once I was done in settings I went back to … oh no, wait. Google decided I should go back to the very beginning of my opening Google! What, where the heck was I? Now you make me go back to … oh where the heck was I (before I submitted this review.) WHY CAN’T you leave me where I was in my review of, whatever link you sent me to?! If there’s one thing I hate is software that makes me have to a better short term memory than it does! Can you people at Google, quit playing games, read this and make your supposed search app more User-suppotive?

Bug: New articles not opening in new tab

When I open the app and see several articles on the Home Screen, if I try to open 2-3 of them, they start to open on top of each other in the same tab. This wasn’t the issue few releases back. With the latest release, I had 11 tabs before the installation of latest version, and not I have 2. Rest of them mysteriously disappeared. Seems like with each new release, a perfectly ok working app is getting worse n worse. I truly believe new version releases are not required all the time just to keep an app going, especially if they are going to introduce bugs and other issues for the users. Let the app be, unless the developer have really something that they want to introduce. Otherwise, they’ll start to lose users just because they released a new version with more bugs than the bug-fixes.

It's getting worse tbh

I have used this app for a while instead of safari because I just trust google more. But recently its been hiccuping and I can't stand it. One thing is that it won't let me change my picture. I don't know why and I want it changed because its an old picture of me. I will click on the icon and I will tap the camera on the profile picture and it will say "you can't change this profile picture from this account" but the problem is I have before. Also I've had this song stuck in my head so I tried to use the "find song" feature on the app and when I tap on it the dots will show up for a few seconds, like its trying to find the song, then it will go back to the home page. It is getting really annoying and I'm about ready to quit using the app (even though I liked using it) if these problems continue.

Freezes, stalls, stops for 45 seconds HELP!

Freezes, stalls, stops for 45 seconds HELP! I enjoy Google but I might or will dump them for bing.. why? The Google app on my new iPhone and/or old iPhone is super buggy… I have uninstalled and installed and still to no avail… I am totally not happy because I use google to look up the latest stock news outside of Yahoo Finance and CNBC.. Another thing, if I read just one tiny Kardashian story, I would get 10 more KimK stories or similar suggestions.. I dare not read about my fav reality shows and that’s all I see.. not cool or if I read a funny story from India or other countries.. it’s all India, London or Africa topics afterwards.. When I pick subjects I like on purpose in settings, about 50% will only show up along with some random stuff I didn’t sign up for … But the biggest problem is the constant freezing and stalling for 45 seconds straight.. Help, Help, Help, Help!!

Overall solid app but few annoying things...

Google is my go-to app throughout the day to quickly look up and research stuff. BUT two things are annoying.... for one, Google seems to remove re-add functions like the translate drawer at the bottom which is really helpful but recently disappeared for a long time before it got added back in — WHY?? The more annoying thing is that every time I leave the app to check something else in my phone sands come back, it reloads the feed! And I have background refresh disabled! Often I'm still seeing articles I want to read but have to go to another app in between and when I come back, they're gone and feed is refreshed. STUPID!!!! The app should leave it up to the user and the user only to decide WHEN to refresh... hence: only 3 stars 🙄

I’m switching to safari because of the June updates

Before this month the app was fairly good for a search app but now it’s useless. At first it was hacking trouble just saving what tabs I wanted open and would delete whatever tab I just opened once I left the tab. This applies to both new tabs where I wanted to compare results and tabs I had open for a few days that I went back to frequently. Then it made the layout of websites go into a weird zoomed out format that made it so you could accidentally swipe out mid read. Lastly the reason I’ve given up is because you can no longer save images. When you hold down an image now it just shows “image source” and “search within image” neither of which I would ever use. On the off chance that you manage to go through image sources and find a saveable image it’s grainy and awful quality.

Stay Away From Google

They’re growing too big for their own good. They act like they have a right to shove all of their content and whatever else they decide is a good idea into your face. And no, you can’t manage what they notify you about easily. You dared to search for a sports team? Clearly you want to receive game recap scores all the time about them, with no way to turn them off! There used to be a simple way, but they updated that out. It’s no longer there. Clearly, just holding on the notifications you don’t want and turning them off that way was too convenient for users, and led to too much getting turned off that google didn’t want. Now I’m stuck choosing between getting notifications I actually want to hear about while also getting something I literally never asked for, or no notifications at all. Such a great system, fantastic evidence that the company cares about your interests, and not theirs.

The only search engine I trust and has been my go to since the conception of the term. I’m really loving the personalized news feeds. As someone who intentionally avoids today’s unreliable news sources, especially from social media apps, the google news feed has been a welcome addition to my routine. I no longer have to miss out on reading articles I may be interested in because of my choice to not login to FB. Instead I often find articles I’m interested in through my google feed in between searching for things. Google Search is one of my top 5 most used apps. Their reliability and commitment to being the best in my opinion has hands down beat any other apps. I’m sticking with google for the long haul.

Issues with tabs

I’ve been using this app for years as my primary search engine. I even recently noticed a feature where you can save recipes to “cookbook”, which is nice. The feature I use the most, however, has been an increasing source of frustration: tabs. I keep tabs open so I can return to them at a later date. The delete tabs setting is on ‘never’ so that my tabs never disappear. Yet today, when I opened the app, all of my tabs were gone. And there’s no easy way to restore them. I’d have to comb through my search history and go off of memory. I’m ready to discard this app in favor of the chrome app, since it turns out restoring tabs is pretty simple for that one. Or maybe I’ll just stick to Safari, which allows for a search of tabs. I don’t see that same option in this Google app. Another reason for me to stop using it.

Some Major Problems with the 3-D

There’s a huge problem that I’m having with the 3-D Bengal Cat. The problem is when I attempt to videotape it in 3-D, I will try to move the animal around as I’m taking the video. It shows that it works, as the red line is moving around the circle, however the video does not actually take. I have seen a couple times at the top of my screen “Touch to return to Snapchat” or “Hangouts” but even after I have closed these apps it still fails to work and says the same thing. Afterwards when I try to take a video without moving the animal, it doesn’t take either! I have to close and open the app again, or exit out of 3-D in order to get a working video. But I’m still unable to move the animal around or the whole process will repeat. I’m not sure if it’s the same for other animals or not, but regardless, please fix this!

Google the go to.

For years, I have been using Google products in various ways and forms. It is the dominant search engine and provides a simple and accessible experience that other search engines fail to deliver. In my opinion, Google Maps is also the best, as it allows users to see and comment about the places they visit. It also keeps track of threats to the route of destination easily. This includes construction, traffic jams, and, of course, speed traps. In short, it is a comprehensive software that is easy to use and contribute to. I wish they would pay their Google reviewers as they truly significantly impact the experience we receive.

Ok, Here’s my answer..-

The “Hum for song” thing is Not worthless, it help a lot with others, or does not..- But sometimes it doesn’t work, and I think google is a special app for all of us! We have to treat it right, and (you don’t have to agree!-) I think google can show us how many things happened or we ask questions!! Maps is with google, games are with google, FaceTime is with google, ads are with google, Half of everything is google!! I thank google for their help and (you don’t have too but in mind-) I think you should say thank you! (That’s my answer!) (Привет)

Google just removed a good feature

Hello Google I just today updated Google App on my iPhone 13 and what I just saw after update when I opened the app the search bar just again got back to the center of the app screen where it was placed like 2 months ago and 2 months ago when I received an update for the Google app I saw a new interface that I really liked at lot than the previous look I liked the new look in which the search bar was at bottom attached with the Home, Tabs and notifications button with some cool options in between both search bar and Home, Tabs & Notifications buttons section like search a song (a.k.a Identify a song), homework help and etc. I request to Google to please bring back that UI in which I got that search bar attached at bottom with those cool options. Please bring it back soon Thank You

Hacked

Google was okay from the start. But it never gave a clear answer and it has lots of horrible websites. I was researching about hamster care, i asked for how long they live and the best cage and all that, google always gave me these random websites that don’t have all the information i need. So i asked what kind of food hamsters should eat and what’s healthy for them, and once again google found all the websites. And i click on one, then i get a warning that my phone has been hacked, and there would be no way to stop it from happening. This wasn’t the first time. My sister got the same warning searching about her fandom, but i didn’t think it would happen again. Google please clear all these fake websites. Getting hacked it very dangerous, and most people have personal their information on their devices, even if they are older than 17.

Google lens gone??!!

I am only giving one star until google “lens” is back in search bar next to microphone again. What happened to the google lens option that WAS right next to the microphone in the search bar?? I used it for only a couple of things and when I went to use it again within 24 hours it was GONE. I’ve gone through everything within the app and there’s a place to download it and that didn’t even work. In one place it talks about the lens but again, it’s not on there. I’ve uninstalled the app and when I go back to the App Store to reinstall it, it says to update it. But I uninstalled it so why is it only giving option to update it instead of install it. And when I go to App Store and look at all the app offers, it shows that you can use google lens to search stuff you see, BUT IT’S NOT THERE WHEN I’M IN THE APP ITSELF. What’s the deal google? Where is the lens????? Please help me with this??!!!!

New update AWFUL. Google image search useless.

New google image search is TERRIBLE! The sole reason I search for images is to see IMAGES, and only images. I do not want to see the text, or a ton of white space. I liked how the old google search app showed images only. I purposely used this app when searching for images as chrome doesn’t display image searches the same. Chrome shows the text. But now, not only is the text required but am unable go full screen with an image (and hide the text when tapping on it or rotating my phone). This is awful for viewing images because phone screens are not that big and now it only shows up on half the screen. Please bring back the old version or at least make it an option that is easy to select on the screen (not hidden in layers of menus within settings). This is extremely frustrating and disappointing

No variety. Too Mainstream.

There’s nothing wrong with it’s UI or anything, it’s actually simple to use. But if you’re trying to do actual research or look for something you better hope it’s mainstream or trendy otherwise you’re gonna be looking a LONG time. It’s like its search results are based off words you put in the search bar, and whatever happens to be popular in society. I tied looking for a scene from something I liked and no matter how much I changed my wording in the search bar all of my results were either the same songs they’d give over and over or tik tok trends, even though my search bar mentions NOTHING about music, songs, or tik tok(?). And the cherry on top? I found what I was looking for on Yahoo in a couple searches. All I got from this whole experience is it needs a sort of “These results aren’t helpful” option rather than “feedback” nobody at google ever is gonna read.

Getting worse and worse

Clearly Google has become more interested in monetizing what was once the sine qua non of digital maps than they are in providing a good user experience. They have junked it up with SO MUCH garbage, like (paid?) eateries and shops, that you can hardly see the streets. And no, I do not need a huge marker to tell me I “recently visited” a site that I merely tapped at random to get rid of something else obstructing my view. At the same time, so my street names are missing, unless you finally just happen to enlarge or shrink the map the perfect amount, and even then it will vanish if you move. And I’m talking about major thoroughfares, bridges, and so on. Then there’s all the persistent stuff I don’t want, like the weather, the Live icon, an inset photo, and info at the bottom of the map about whatever you looked up. Switching to another map!!

Losing pages.

If I’m on a page and I have to either step away so my phone goes to sleep or switch screens, it resets to the homepage search bar. Not all the time, but enough that it’s incredibly irritating. I’ll have to scroll all the way back down to where I was (I love reading comments on articles, so sometimes it’s a lot of scrolling) to continue reading. This has only become a problem in the last few updates, I believe since the overall look has changed. Sometimes the page I was on will be completely gone from the history as well, saying I have no browsing history when I clearly do, as I was JUST reading something. Then I have to remember what I searched and the title of the article. Apps are supposed to be streamlined, quick & beneficial. I might as well read on a computer. Fix this, please.

Bad.

The update made to this killed it. I can’t understand why this change was made. After clicking onto a website if I want to go to another I have to fully leave the site because clicking the top just copies the link. Why was this made a thing? Did whoever suggest it have a hard time copying the link somehow so they made such a stupid change? Another problem is that whenever I close my phone because I can’t keep the screen open forever especially because I have work to do it closes the entire site I was on. Meaning if I was on a site that had pages then to it or anything like that I would have to constantly start from the very beginning whenever I reopen my phone because the site was closed. Everything was way better before and I can’t understand who was stupid enough to suggest this changes or who was even dumber to even approve of these.

Unsatisfied

Google quickly became the most used search engine thanks to its simplicity and ease of use. Sadly, this app is missing a few things to earn those describers. 1. They took away the connectivity to Apple Maps. Why? This was one of the main features I used the app for. I would look up Applebee’s, click for directions, and google would reroute me right to Apple Maps with the right directions. Now Apple Maps is no longer an option and it’s obvious you took away this feature without stating that’s what you were going to do in the update which in my mind is a really shady business practice and let’s me know you knew doing this would make some people mad. 2. Symbols on the images. Now users can’t screenshot or view images without seeing the buttons/symbols. Again, another feature I used a lot that was taken away. 3. When you click on a suggested image when viewing an image, they is no way to go back to that original image without going back all the image results. Why is there no back button? Please add back these features to earn a good review! Thanks to these exact features, I think I’m going to have to start using Safari app just for the Apple connectivity and to view images without the three or four buttons on top each of them.

I’m disappointed

I know people may not have a problem with this but my google is being annoying right now. So usually when I would search up images, it would show some other images once I click on it. Then I have the option to save and that. Now every single time I click on a picture, it sends me to the website on where it’s from. I don’t want the website, I just wanna see the picture and save it on my camera roll. Now it’s annoying how long it takes me save an image. I’m always seeing the website with its picture. I sometimes like the other photos under that image I search up. I sometimes wanna save them. Now? it takes me at least two-four minutes just to save a picture. I just want my old google back :(

Good as Expected but...

This app basically does exactly what you’d think a Google app would do. For that reason, it’s a fine app. I deleted this app though because I didn’t see the advantage of keeping it when I could just use a mobile browser to search on Google. I wouldn’t even think twice about downloading this app again if it incorporated just 1 specific thing... the first is that I wish this app had a reverse image search feature similar to Pinterest’s. Google already has a reverse image search option for non-mobile users (PC, Mac, etc.) in the browser, but the Google app doesn’t have this function for mobile use. So I would think that a reverse image search right on your mobile device would be brilliant. I would probably delete my Pinterest app if the Google app had this function.

Google window on the bottom of screen

I like using this app, however, I really dislike the google window at the bottom of the page. It’s in the way when I need to make a selection at the bottom of the screen. I know how to make it smaller so I can make a selection. It’s just to much work just to see the bottom of the screen. Most times I just give up and click open page in Safari so I don’t have deal with it. Its also slightly annoying because it never goes away and I don’t see an option to close it. The only time it goes away is when I scroll up which does me no good if I want to look at the very bottom of the page. It would be much better if it was hidden at the top of the screen and I can just swipe down if I want to see it. At least give an option to close the box.

Why. Just why?

Let me say that google will always be my go to web browser. My problem is that you guys went back to a feature that makes this app unusable. You once again have made the decision to not allow me to edit a url. And went back to where you have to swipe down to get rid of a website. But it only makes searching more frustrating than it should be. I keep accidentally getting rid of a article or page because when swiping up to go to the top of the page, it gets rid of it. And you also can’t go back to that because you decided to go back to where you have to tap on the backwards button to go back to a previous page, instead of just holding the button and being allowed simply select the page you want to be on. Plz fix these problems

Almost got a virus! (Think I actually have)

So I thought that this Kahoot bot website was really funny so I clicked the link… yeah, bad mistake. It started to give me pop up ads that were really unnecessary and some of them were not even related with the topic. It told me I needed a vpn for the website. And oh no.. then a littoral, PHYSICAL pop up came up on my iPad saying, “(19) Viruses have been activated on your apple device! Please install this vpn or your photos and other social media things will be stolen and sold!” I got very scared and my instinct hit the install button. And my mind was like, AHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOO!!! JAGSHDBEGUS 💀 just so y’all know this happened like 15-20 mins ago. Yeah but regardless of all that the app is astonishing! Just so you know please remove the website. It is the first search when you put in “Kahoot bot”

Special Friend

93 y/o Mom needed 24/7 care after breaking a hip, and Home Instead stepped up to the challenge. They sent reliable, nice, trustworthy people that knew how to care for someone in her position. They worked with us to whittle down the staff as she needed less help. We ended up with the nicest most caring person, Fannie. She has become part of the family and been so good to our mom. She is always in a cheerful mood and loves taking out mom out on adventures (doctors and then a fun lunch 🤣) This makes all the difference in the world to how our mom feels. We try to be there when we can, but when we can’t, we know Fannie is there. Great working with her and Home Instead

Cannot change payment method for YT premium

I subscribed to YT premium some time ago which has been fine, and just discovered that PayPal now charges for processing the monthly YT automatic deduction. I’ve emailed Google asking about it but no reply. I’ve been trying to change my payment method away from PP and just discovered that Google no longer allows changes via IOS devices - one must use a PC. Absolutely ridiculous approach to business! Who cares what vehicle is used?? So now I have to pay a PP fee on top of my monthly bill. I don’t have access to a PC unless I want to risk using one at a library. A former PP executive is now with Google to leverage payment systems so the fee still ends up at Google. So that premium account you have and pay w/PP? Add a couple bucks on top of it each month so the two entities can increase their revenue.

Lift missed ride on May 20, 2024

I called Lift on the above date with pick up point on La Mamarcada Bakery on Santa Monica Bl. Corner western Ave.. waited fo r the ride which never came. Street vendors selling fruit who were witnesses noticed that my pick up point changed to 1198 western Ave. at that point I changed to again the bakery address at the corner of Sta Monica Bl and western where the lift ride appeared. This is unfortunate that the wait was prolonged because your first driver made the wrong turn. I am 83 yrs old and depend on the Lift not the Uber to bring me to my destination. This afternoon’s missed ride made me disappointed with your driver’s missing the pick up point for so long. Pls. Cancel charge of $6.25.

Just keeps getting worse and worse.

App can’t load search results about 40% of the time. Everything else works fine, I have no problem doing anything else on my phone just this app won’t load search results it says try again. If I click one of the news articles under the search bar it’s absolutely fine, just can’t load search results. And this is when I’m home with full wifi in nyc with full service. Again, literally everything else on my phone is fine. I use google a lot, but if I search five things I’ll have to go to internet explorer for at least 2-3 of them because the google app just won’t load search results. I’ve tried taking off the app and reloading it, I’ve had this problem on two different phones now. It’s just not a good app anymore if it doesn’t give search results about half the time.

Has been my favorite app but has been crashing for weeks now

This app has been my favorite iPhone app but a recent update led to constant consistent crashing issues. Any time I try to use it it crashes. This began to occur after an update. I have looked ever day for an update assuming the developers would want to repair a problem that leads to complete inability to use app, but nothing. I have begun to look into other search apps as the lack of any response is concerning. I have not yet found one I like as much, but honestly ANYTHING that works is wayyy better than typing in a search getting result only to have the app ALWAYS crash. When trying to get the result. Gave three stars because of the very slow response, but would have given 4/5 stars before this problem which renders the app useless.

Once critical app now unstable under iOS12

I have used this app since its early days, a majority of my experience was excellent: on an iPad Pro, it was a godsend in split-screen mode when I needed to pull content from several sources into my primary apps by dragging or pasting. Once iOS updated to its current release, this is the least stable and highest-lag of Google’s iOS offerings (several of which also suffer under iOS12). I didn’t understand when the ‘tools’ option was suddenly deactivated on image searches, but tolerated it because the app overall was still strong. Now, I use this app only when I can afford to have it freeze or crash. Scrolling through saved item collections is impossibly laggy, with several seconds elapsing between a touch or drag and the app responding — when it does scroll, it stutters and freezes. I have a top-tier current-gen iPad Pro with 70% of internal storage available, and would hope Google values stability and performance over feature-adds that aren’t ready for public release. Please fix this, Google: an app that is fragile and unreliable is an app uninstalled. I’ve invested in the enterprise products you offer and rely on them daily (if not hourly) to do my job.

The Interface is Getting Cluttered

It was nice having the streamlined layout of the app several versions before, and with every update version, the interface loads up with more buttons of questionable interest, and an excess of information that would be best left hidden or condensed. The tab feature is also getting cluttered with excessive numbers of saved pages after simple searches. I do not need a new window every time I want to view a new image, I just want to browse in peace. This is a petty and personal issue that doesn’t impede the app’s usefulness, so I will leave this with a decent rating, but I would greatly appreciate it if options for less screen filler were available in future updates. Thanks to whoever may see this.

Open Tabs (IPhone XR)

Saw someone else post something similar, but I can’t open or delete any of my past google tabs. If I create a new tab, then I can go to all tabs and delete/select it, but any tab that I don’t immediately delete is no longer accessible to me. I can still access favorited tabs, but the same problem happens. Essentially it’s this - I open one tab, it’s fine - I open another tab which is fine, now the first one is inaccessible - I open another tab, which works fine, but the previous two are now inaccessible -etc, on and on. This problem also happens when I leave the google app for a while, or swipe up. Because whenever I do that, returning to google then brings me back to the home screen of google, meaning that the previously fine tab is now inaccessible cause I (technically?) opened a new tab, even if this new tab doesn’t show up, but still causes the same problem.

Very disappointed

Okay Google, you’ve been on thin ice for a while but with this new update is where I draw the line. I loved the Google app and have been using it religiously as my search engine for 5+ years. There have been many changes since I first started using the app, mostly good, but some bad. I use google a lot for reference images for art and now you can no longer save pictures directly from images. It was bad enough you took away the image previews, and then changed the way you save photos, but now you can’t even save them! It sends you to the website, but for many things on mobile it either doesn’t work or forces you to sign into a website to get to the photo. Sometimes it will take you to a website that just doesn’t even work! I will probably stop using the Google app after today and switch to another unless you fix this. It makes the app unusable for me.

Link to maps usually fails

Generally a useful app but Google has lots of bugs to fix! A search often brings up a map, and when I click on the map within the Google app, it gives "no results". Very annoying and obviously wrong, since if you open another map app, including Google maps, there is what you were looking for. Google, fix this! Similar issue with other searches like yelp. If you search for an establishment and the result you click is a yelp website, the Google app doesn't take you to the information you want. Instead you get a series of links and you have to reenter the search on the yelp app. There's obviously a better way, and things could be more seamless. These have been long running problems and I'm surprised Google isn't on top of this. Seems like it should have been relatively easy to fix.

I’m over it!

For a long time I’ve exclusively used Google maps for searches and getting places. Unfortunately, the app seems to do what it wants instead of what you ask. Search by area means the whole state instead the exclusive location of your choosing. This has lost me appointments, jobs and an infinite amount of time, money and frustration! Even after choosing the location there is no guarantee, if there are others, that you will be directed to the destination chosen. Never mind picking the worst routes to get places when you know better. I’ve deleted the app and in the process of deleting everything google because of this. Including email. I am over it!! Avoid this hijacking app and all affiliated at all costs! Apple’s maps app is much simpler but I’m actually glad I never threw away my atlases! Going back to using my brain. Thanks google

Shake to send feedback!

There is NO way to turn this off within the Google app. I’m not talking about in Google maps. People have been complaining about this for months and the only developer response I’ve EVER seen is to go to another website to send more feedback. I know I’m not going to get any answers here, but I know people are searching for this exact question in the reviews to see if anyone has a remedy. So far the answer is no. No one seems to know how to disable this “shake to send feedback” feature that pops up an absurd amount of times in a day. Why is Google collecting my unsolicited feedback without my approval 200x a day. Since they changed their privacy policies suddenly there’s a “glitch” that totally invades my privacy without my consent. Because a permanent “shake to send feedback” feature WAS NOT in the Google terms of agreement that I agreed to.
