Useful but self serving. The app blocks the native OS overlay in favor of its own. For example, when trying to call a business from a search, the number that you would press on to initiate a call does not come up. I’ve noticed this when trying to search a highlighted term as well. Usually when a user wants to look-up highlighted text, you can get quick results from the ‘look-up’ option that appears along side copy, paste, etc - however when done through the google app, the app redirects to the look up through itself without allowing the user to leave the google app ecosystem. I understand that there is a need to keep users on an app and maintain every aspect of data collection to avoid unnecessary loss but it feels very manipulative and takes away from the iOS user experience so much so, I cannot make a call after performing a search, leading me to have to switch apps in order to fulfill my request. I understand it’s a competitor operating on Apples platform but, I think they should at least be held accountable even if there is a choice whether to use the app or not.

Why is this app so frustrating. First the song thing NEVER works ,second the picture thing to find an item you want yeah it’s very vague and shows you thousands of thing could barely have anything in common with the item you want (which in my opinion get on my nerves) ,third why do you need ALL my information just to im not a bot like seriously you really think im a bot that I have to give you all that info yeah right what do even need that for all you should NEED is my email address or phone number NOT both (also a recovery phone/email is pretty useful in case you get logged out) but still why do you HAVE to have all that info, fourth id rather use just the regular search engine on safari which is easier than downloading a whole new app and guess what safari doesn’t need all the info and plus when you get your phone (if you have an iPhone) safari is already on the so why go through the trouble of downloading a new app ,fifth why does google want to save my passwords I wouldn’t trust that when Apple just saves it for you or you could write it down or put it in notes. Finally google read your reviews please most of these people are saying true things that you need to fix. Work smarter not harder.

Oops. Something went wrong. I would rate this app higher but oops something went wrong, I'll try again later. When the app works like it should it becomes my go to for news based on categories I like. However, it takes a long time for a story/topic you're not interested in to be removed. If I'm not interested in sports, it shouldn't take weeks of removing every article related to sports to finally be removed. Most of the times a few articles will display and going to the next page just results in " something went wrong ". I love this app but it's the most frustrating one I have installed. Reinstallation does not fix the issue. Lastly if I do a random search I now have to open chrome private browsing because this app will "think" I'm interested in whatever I searched for, thus starting the loop cycle of trying to remove articles I'm not interested in, all from one random search.

About To Delete This App. I use the Google app pretty exclusively for searches and quick internet answers. The annoyances are getting greater than the help. The search by picture has turned into a vomit of results that just go based on similar color of items, not the items themselves or even brand words. The picture search USED to be helpful when looking for specific items I’m trying to buy. It’d look for that specific item, which was super helpful since sellers use different words and titles in their postings. Google killed that! Now, after the latest update, I’m forced to deal with the stupid predictive text vomit as I’m trying to type. I don’t like predictive or recommended text, so I don’t have those options enabled on my phone. Now, Goggle app is THE ONLY thing on my phone that chucks words above my keyboard that they think I’m wanting to use. Searching for answers on how to get rid of it only ends in frustration and repeated steps of “turn off auto complete” which I’ve already had turned off long ago. I don’t know who Google algorithms is tracking for most of the recommendations of websites, searches, words they think I’m trying to type, but it’s definitely NOT me. 90% of their ‘perfect for you’ recommendations are garbage I couldn’t care less about and haven’t looked up. I’m to the point of looking for an alternate search app that doesn’t give random crap recommendations or force “features” that are unwanted.

New Search Window. The new window that pops up when you select a search result is ridiculous. It takes up more screen space and you are unable to select the url bar to search there like you could before. Instead, now you must return to the google search results page and type your query there instead. The page url still shows at the top of your screen, and selecting it copies the link instead of allowing you to modify it. This change significantly slows down search time and tab browsing time. Additionally, the back arrow from the top is now gone, leaving you with the back and forward arrows at the bottom, which do not have the same affect as the large back arrow that used to be present. I like this app, I have never had much problems with it, if this change does not become optional or removed I will most likely be removing this app and looking for an alternative, as this change seriously diminishes the app’s usability.

Slowly deteriorating. Google was great, but the issue is that minor inconveniences such as taking Google Search off iMessage is really annoying. From there I could do a quick search or a location to send much quicker via text. Not anymore! Another thing, the app gets slower and more cluttered with each update. I do not use Safari as much due to the fact that it feels “heavier” and more cluttered, but now I’m seeing pointless news articles that are absolutely irrelevant to me as an individual. All of the data mining and theft your company does, and you can’t even match my interests? Even if you could match my interests, you wouldn’t be able to do it because you are Google. Furthermore the articles are pointless anyways because of the News app and third party apps that I can download. Slowly but surely, Google is turning into a lesser search engine like Yahoo or Bing.

Usually interesting reading but. A huge bug is that when I click on that I’m not interested in a topic, I get a pop up message that Google gets it and won’t show me any more articles about that topic. But I keep seeing articles!!!! Sometimes I even see more of them. Two current examples are Princess Charlene of Monaco and Situation Puzzles. I clicked on a few of each which was enough so I clicked on that I wasn’t interested. The articles kept showing up, sometimes multiple articles every time I opened Google. Just now I opened the app and, out of 37 articles, 5 were about Charlene!! I keep saying I’m not interested but I keep seeing these articles. Enough already!!! Another annoying bug is that, when Google is refreshing the articles, if you’re reading one, it freezes and you have to exit Google, reopen it and go to Tabs to find and continue reading the article.

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.

It is a good, but there is some issues. There is many google glitch that I constantly keep on seeing, like google being SUPER slow and keeps on acting like we do not have internet, and it is Xfinity, and I say Xfinity is really good internet in my book. And this REAL annoying glitch it is what I call the no pictures glitch because when you take photos IT ALWAYS SAYS “could not save image” and you know what I have to do to fix that, DELETE GOOGLE, yeah I would say that is a real annoying glitch, but I don’t know what causes this may cause my phone is outdated, because it is a iPhone 6 or but please google fix this glitch please, because I do not want to constantly DELETE GOOGLE, and when I mean constantly I mean every night, if you where me, you would probably feel the same as me, annoyed, the glitch is getting on my nerves and I hope it will be fixed.

Only one complaint. Google Maps as an application is great for travel and directions over all. It is accurately interconnected to transit systems in cities I travel to. Easy interface for looking at reviews and information of destination’s. Now the only thing I have to complain about is when you type in your destination for directions is the map auto-fixes to compass 🧭 north, instead of the direction you are facing. For example if I am headed west and fading south the map appears “upside down”. I understand if you use the “live navigation” feature the map corrects itself and relays the information based on current facing direction. As one who loves to walk and wants to save battery life on my mobile device, it would be great if the default for “get directions” without navigation feature would load to the direction you are facing so you don’t have to toggle the map when looking at directions.

Shameless Spyware. Wow, Google has no shame what so ever, does it? Asks for a phone number to create an account, and just look at all the things they track with this app. From finances, browse history, and on and on. They claim that you need to provide them your phone humber to verify you are not a bot, really? Not even close. Google wants all the information they can about you. Not only to track you better, but to make money off of you. People think that Googles makes money through it’s products, and in a way they are correct, but the real product that they sell, their real bread and butter money maker, is the sales and sharing of your personal information. And I am talking in the most shamelessly ways possible. Sadly, you can explain this to people and they still use their products claiming that they have nothing to hide. Boy people have become brainless. Like Edward Snowden once said, "Saying that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide, it's no different than saying you don't care about freedom of speech because you have nothing to say. It's a fundamentally an un-American principle. And more than nationalism, more than what this country is about, it's a deeply antisocial principle. Because rights are not just individual, they are collective, and what may not be of value to you today may have value to an entire population, an entire people, or an entire way of life tomorrow. And if you don't stand for it, then who will?"

Going downhill. This is rather sad that I can get onto google and search something but when I want to see photos of said search I can’t. The fact that they removed the ability to look at images on mobile is rather stupid and needs to be changed back to the way it was. The new search URL is also rather inconvenient because I should not have to scroll and click a button in order to search for a item or photo. Those on mobile should be able to just search the item or photo from one engine as it was in the past. This app has gone downhill with many of the updates or “Bug Fixes” which being more inconvenience than help. I believe Google should remain the way it was in the past when one could search for a website, photo, or video and have the help of the little bar at the top they could click. If you read this Google fix your browser please.

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.

TwacyRad. In response to the user “TwacyRad” your rant was absolutely ridiculous and a waste of everyone reading its precious energy. Not to mention I just lost at least 6-7 brain cells just fighting the extreme urge to use googles app/image search to search your screen tag and well that’s another story! Anyways!! Nobody really cares about your sensitivity to light or the painstakingly long rant about you and your crap. I too now am sensitive to light,sound,and movement and probably have some anger issues that need valium due to your boring long rant about you and nothing about the app itself?! PLEASE JUST PUT THE MAC,iPhone,and,IPad down! Clearly your “SENSITIVITY” to light has burned the retinas connecting to your brain and you too seem to be down a few brain cells?! Yes you are the minority at least that much you can “SEE” in the dark or the light mkay? GET A HOBBY LADY!

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.

Hey google look a serious talk!. Dear google, you are just trying to keep everyone safe which is fine that is not such a crime actually , it help prevent a crime of a innocent persons app and a person presses there phone and tries to sign in and do some weird stuff so keeping people safe is a good job …….but, google why on earth is it so hard to find the prompt button to verify something if your gonna make accounts safe give people instructions of what there doing other ways it’s complicated and hard. Thank you google for listening or reading I appreciate it /you for giving me your time and if you see this please think about these things I really recommend it. P.S great app love the good work keep it up 👍

Not a robot page??? I’ve pressed no but it doesn’t go away. If I use the same browser after 3-6 searches it won’t load and takes me to a page that asks if you are a robot when you press no it doesn’t go back to the browser it just takes me to another are you a robot page and I have to close the app out open a new tab and click the im not a robot button at least 3 times before I can use the browser again. I can understand if it took you to the robot page then once you click your not a robot it should take you back to the original page but it doesn’t do that it makes you do all this work to make the page go away and makes the experience annoying I don’t want to be directed to that page all the time juts to do the same stuff to make it go away just for it to appear again please fix it somehow

Used to be much better, now no better than average. Google debuted as the search engine that actually worked. I remember first-hand how much difficulty users had trying to find information about anything, and how much effort it took to learn how to ask a question so the search engines of the time might find and respond with something relevant. Enter “fuzzy logic” in Google’s search engine. Wowed everybody. Today it’s now officially worse than the old search engines of the 1980s and 1990s. Today, it no longer seems to follow the traditional instruction sets that used to work on the older, “less user friendly” search engines. For example, if a hyphen precedes a word, traditionally it means the search engine is to EXCLUDE (ignore) that word in its displayed results. So, searching for “dark wood laminate -flooring” should NOT return information about flooring. Yet instead of ignoring or excluding ‘flooring’ information from the displayed results, it seems to now return MORE information about flooring rather than ignoring it. There are other search conventions that were used over the past 40 years to tailor search results, and I haven’t yet looked at them all - but this is a rudimentary convention that is completely ignored by developers at Google, placing it among its peers at the bottom of my competency ratings!

Linda Gordon and friends!. We love this quaint restaurant whether we eat outside or dine indoors. The staff is always friendly and upbeat and happy to see you! The Food is prepared fresh and served beautifully! If we don’t eat there at least two times a summer our summer is not complete! It’s not often a quaint restaurant like this takes reservations! We enjoy how the manager makes this possible! And it is a joy just to watch Kevin , the table busser, fix up the immaculate table decorations and clean linens and keep your class filled with beverage before you even miss a drop! Of course is very popular during the Tulip Festival so I urge you to go another time when it is not quite so busy! That way you can enjoy the lovely gardens that you see as well as the food and surroundings!

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!!

Garbage. Ask google a question and it might just give you A ANSWER, not THE ANSWER, To your question. I looked up a simple question, “How long is the US” to which it tried to tell me from some random websites Information that the continental United States was 2800 Miles from East to West (which is correct), but also tried to tell me it was 2800 miles from North to South as well. After some searching I found out that it’s about 1700 miles, so why is google telling me that a website, with incorrect information is right? Shouldn’t there be a algorithm or maybe a fact checker that would make sure that your actually giving people correct information? It is absolutely unacceptable that Google, a place where people get there information from everyday, is giving people the wrong information. What other questions do I have wrong answers to because of this. It would be great if when I asked google something it didn’t tell me what might be the answer, I would rather make the mistake myself of clicking on a not so trusted website and getting wrong information there rather than google straight up lying to me.

Hasn’t Yet Earned 5 Stars. At one time in the past, when I typed in my search argument, if there was a misspelling, Google would offer up the correct spelling, eliminating the need for me to correct it. In some cases, where participles or familiar words were involved, Google will reconstruct my argument with the correct grammar. I would sure enjoy those days again. Even now, when I’m typing this review, all of my misspellings are corrected. Why can’t Google offer that option when I’m typing in my search parameters? Google once did have that option, then took it away. One other annoying thing about Google: whenever I’m searching for a report or article, Google displays first the results it wants me to see, often biased, forcing me to scroll several pages until I find what I’m looking for. This is a nasty habit and one which stirs up conversations in Congressional circles about “reforming” Google. Google is an important research tool, very important, and Google employees shouldn’t be allowed free license to transform such an important research tool into a one-sided echo chamber for specific ideologically-oriented groups. I’d rather see Google as completely neutral in that regards. Making it neutral, without certain biases being introduced, goes a long way to earning that fifth star. Thank you.

Google Assistant problems. I use Japanese as my second language on everything, and when I opened the app I changed that setting as well, but I noticed I couldn’t change the order of the languages as English stayed at the top no matter what I did. But I payed it no mind as it still worked both ways. I downloaded the app to use the “hum a song” feature anyways, yet when I first opened the app, the button that you are supposed to use for that feature didn’t show up. I closed the app for a few minutes and opened it back up to finally see the button, but google assistant seemed to have lost the ability to understand Japanese and would make my words into unreadable English “sentences”. After trying to fix it for 10 minutes I gave up and decided to make sure the “hum a song” feature was actually working. The circle of colorful dots showed up on the screen and moved when I hummed but nothing happened and after waiting for a few seconds, it would close and show the normal google assistant pop-up at the bottom of the screen. As if I hadn’t pressed the “search a song” button at all. Very disappointed.

Google - get rid of the blue pop up tips!!!. Have an issue and cannot find anyone at Google to help. Literally EVERY SINGLE time I am on Google on my iphone, these blue “tip” boxes pop up. They contain directions and/or explanations for VERY self explanatory buttons and things on the Google page. For example -I search something like “candy” and then on the results that come up there is an overview of the subject searched. Then there is a blue box that pops up and points to that overview button and says “tap here for summary and general info”. I’m not understanding why Google has to define/explain this button every time I search something. I know what overview means. Or I look up a restaurant and a box forms over the “order here” button on the result page and says “view menu and order food.” If these instructional pop ups only occurred once when I first used Google I would understand but every time I search something there are blue boxes all over the page speaking to me like I am dumb lol. Soooo unnecessary and so annoying. Trying to find a way to disable this but no one can give me any info. I’ve tweeted at them and they don’t answer, I’ve called apple who says it’s Google’s issue but no one cares. Have stopped using Google because of how annoying it is.

Get Google Chrome Instead. In short, why this company has two browsing applications is beyond me but chrome is far better than regular ole google and way more user friendly to those exposed to safari and looking for a widget to shake up their boring old home screens. In long, I downloaded google for the widget which I really liked the look of on my home screen but the features of this app compared to safari our lacking. I would often find features that were on safari that weren’t on google or didn't work as smoothly, such as the transition from incognito to regular browsing or simply going back and going forward while searching. If I went back too far google would send me to the original search screen with no way of going back to what I was just looking at. These, amongst other things, are minor, but they add up in the long run to make the users experience horrid. However, the google chrome app is a different story, it’s nearly identical to safari and in many ways better than it.

Little accessibility - dark mode often unreadable. A lot of the new features with the update are well designed and settings are more accessible. But it doesn’t resolve the MAJOR accessibility issues with features more frequently used than settings. I like to have dark mode enabled in my OS across devices due to light sensitivity and attention/focus issues. Since the update, many sites are unreadable (dark grey text on black backgrounds!) or not even in dark mode. At first I thought it was random website issue but it’s actually chrome because I see it when searching or on googles main page. It also switches back and forth on google and the search bar at complete random. Googles website and search bar itself often has dark text and the search bar is bright white with odd colored text that’s hard to see. I’ve noticed this isn’t just a iOS problem either - it occurs on my Mac as well. I also struggle with cluttered web pages as it results in distraction and trouble reading. I have to flag google ads almost all the time in iOS because they block site content or aren’t in dark mode and the bright white blue light is piercingly distracting. Not a problem on MacOS because of Ad blocker. I really don’t know what I would do if I had a more severe visual impairment. For now, I’ll play with app specific accessibility through my iOS. Google, get accessible please! We may seem like the minority now, but realization of neurologically-based diverse needs is the future.

I’m still mad till this day. When I did a new acc I was fine with it and when I don’t have the phone where I did my gmail because it broke I try using the same gmail that I had and when I used it it kept and kept saying no account info or couldn’t find account like bro I put the right gmail and it keep saying couldn’t find it so I press forgot gmail I put my gmail in and name and last name and when I did that it said couldn’t find gmail info and now I can’t do anything about it I’m stuck with it and I can’t change or recover it I find videos and videos how to and they were useless it keep saying couldn’t find account info and I had everything in it and I won’t be able to get it back because it keep saying couldn’t find account info and it’s so annoying for it to keep saying couldn’t find account I try everything and still can’t find it now I’m stuck without everything I have the stuff I have linked to forget that I don’t have that because I won’t be able to get it back because it just loves saying no account info

Addiction machine. So my 3 year old son downloaded this app. He spent hours on it, using this “Google” thing. He spent 47 hours a day on this thing. He stopped sleeping… His screentime was maxed out as well. So i tried to put a stop to it. I walked in his room, while he was using it. I asked him “james have you ate anything today?” He stared at his screen. The room had a cold breeze chilling my neck. The fear i felt in this moment is indescribable. My stomach churned as the glow of the screen lit his face. The room was dark, the only light was from his ipad. I decided it was time to end this. I peered over his shoulder to see what he was viewing. The… “things” i saw was… horrific. He was viewing a place called “Reddit.” The top left corner read “r/cocomelonHentai.” The images i saw were horrible. He turned to see me behind him. Gun in hand i pointed the barrel at his head. “Im sorry…” I pulled the trigger 87 times. 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥. Then i found out he had gotten my wife pregnant. So i killed myself and my wife.

Suggested/trending searches. Thankful the tab behavior was reverted and now when I search it actually fully goes to the page I want, and I can edit the search from there. Unfortunately, I REALLY dislike the suggested/trending search boxes that are now showing up as suggestions. For a long time I have had a preference set to NOT show me trending searches and this new feature seems to be basically the same thing, so I would expect Google to respect my preference and not show those. (I did not see any new preference that I could use to do this.) I try to search with purpose and I do not appreciate distractions and apps trying to tell me what I should be interested in because it’s trending or new. Attention is a limited resource and those features are a way to steal attention. I typically prefer Google because it is minimalist and doesn’t distract but this is a subtle way to distract and I would like to turn it off asap. Either respect the existing preference or add a new one so I can turn this thing off.

New update ruined Google. Ive used google as my primary search engine for a while, but Ive always needed a second. A huge problem has always been the ability to download images or lack thereof on the Google App, they fixed the issue around 2019-ish. We were going steady when the download image feature was seamless, you hold down the image and a pop up with the words ‘download image’ appeared. Not anymore. Its been replaced with an annoying Google lens feature and a useless image source pop up with download image no where to be seen. We are all aware of these feature and the image settings or three dots at the right hand corner would be an adequate place for them. Forcing Google lens onto your users as some sort of quota made your app an afterthought and inferior to the Safari app. Not to mention Safari has a better ‘Tabs’ system. I would recommend the Chrome app which is less user friendly but way more competent than this worthless app.

Images no longer can we saved unless you go to a website. I’ve use Google for years and preferred over Apple’s Siri search any day but I’m starting to wonder if I should just try to adapt into other Main Street in mindframe’s and ditch google all together. It’s really hard when I know a search engine is doing its best but then it loses those few key features that make it better than the rest. I may have to look into some of the other search engines that allow you to save images because the whole reason I have it on my main screen and I told my mom and many family members to download it was for the ease of access and customizable options. But as of late there was a glitch a while ago that wouldn’t let you save photos it was hard it was like popping up now I won’t even give you an option it’s just photo lens which then searches for the same image but that doesn’t let you save it so all I can think of is to screenshot it which is not helpful. If this gets fixed I’m willing to come back possibly and keep on advertising for what a great search engine it used to be. I really hope they fix this. Otherwise it’s just another search engine…

Hum search is worthless. I’m trying to identify a tune from a music box we have. So I get that the music quality is low fi, but this app is worthless for that. Not only does it fail to identify the tune, it never even gave a guess or acknowledged that it couldn’t find it or suggested other things to try - its dots bounced along with the sounds (so I know the audio was active) but then would just quit listening and return to home with no feedback. We then gave several tests using humming, whistling, and singing along simple Christmas tunes to see if we could get it to work. I’m no virtuoso but, from the examples shown in all the Google ads, I think it should have given me something in all the tests we tried. Only once did it give me 3 very wrong guesses for a Jingle Bells whistle rendition. All other tests only resulted in no feedback at all. If you make any sounds it interprets as words (“la la la” or “blah blah blah”), it goes straight to lyrics that are ridiculously unhelpful and ignore any tune analysis. Maybe I’m missing a prompt or a trick to get it to work but I’ve determined the ads must be straight-up fiction and false.

Feb2023 feedback: new (i+) button is a bad experiment. there's a new (i+) button in the bottom of tabs. it brings up "related searches" and "info about this page." it is app bloat, full stop. i have never gotten (and don't anticipate ever getting) to a page and needing a or wanting a shortcut to more pages like the page i'm currently on. if it's not quite what i'm looking for, more alike results aren't going to help me. i need to refine my query and look at the main results i got on the search results page. if it is what i'm looking for, i don't need to find more alike pages, since my need is being sated by the current page. it has zero relevant functionality to browsing. but it does cramp up the previously well spaced button array that was there previously. the home button should be center. if google is very married to this (i+) button, find somewhere else in the UI to put it instead of central to the experience. i suggest putting it as a sub-function or submenu pop up of tapping and holding the url bar. that's intuitive (as in "of course i should learn more about a page if i hold down on the url") , it becomes completely hidden from the UI, and it relieves the button crowding happening at the bottom of tabs (which, as of 2/6/23, is clumsy and aesthetically poor with the (i+) button). the app has enough features surface levels features. this new button is a detraction from lithe browsing.

I have loved this app. I’ve been using the google app for a long time for keeping up with news cause it’s easy to navigate but I find as of recent I encounter more and more issues when it comes to reading articles as they keep glitching out and bouncing around the screen because ads don’t load in properly, or I will be bombarded with ads that make it near impossible to read the actual article as there’s no less than 5 pop ups at any given time and the option to close them is either nonexistent or so small you keep clicking the ad, pair that with the aforementioned ads not loading in properly and so many articles become unreadable either half the screen is taken over by ads or it keeps jumping around you can’t keep your place, often both and that’s assuming I’m not stuck in a loop of the article refusing to open or if it does load at all without crashing. But the funny thing is if I open the articles in my browser I don’t have these issues, so I’m beginning to think it’s a you problem.

Google Sign-In Broken In App. I'm used to using texted codes for 2FA. Fortunately, Google still lets me do that. The idea of depending on some password manager that contains a key that I can't access if something goes wrong doesn't appeal to me. This time, though, I decided to try a different option that Google provides, which is to open the Google App and verify my identity. So, I downloaded the app and gave it a go. What happened, though, was that the text in the screen was highly zoomed, and locked in place, making it impossible to scroll, in any direction, to wherever it was on the screen that I was supposed to do the next thing. Until that bug gets fixed, obviously, the Google App two-step login option is dead. As for the app itself, it seems to be a decent search engine with some additional features.

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?

Google needs some major improvements. Why can’t I contact anyone at Google to help me recover my account? Don’t tell me to use the “Account Recovery Process” because it’s crap. How can I use that process if I had to change my number and don’t have access to the recovery phone anymore? How can I “log in using a familiar device or wifi” if I don’t live in the same place or have the same device anymore? There are several ways I can prove the account belongs to me but Google doesn’t give us the option. I feel like it’s a major security risk to allow accounts to sit with an old phone number that someone else now has. They could gain access to these account that don’t belong to them by simply using the phone verification system. Google should allow customers to call in and answer security questions and allow customers to provide documentation (License, Marriage/Divorce documents, etc) to prove the account belongs to them. This would be a major improvement for Google. Even Yahoo! has a phone number to call to talk to a human and get assistance with account recovery. Please help us Google, this is a major issue & has thousands and thousands of people frustrated!

iOS Widget Issue. Love the iOS widget for the Lock Screen. However, when I select the widget, the app opens and the microphone screen comes up and google is listening. That’s perfect. When I ask a question, google dictates the words I said perfectly but the response is “something went wrong. Please try again”. The words I said are still listed in the search area so I just have to hit search and it works, but it should just give me the answer without the “something went wrong” response. It seems this only happens when the google app is not already open. If the app is open, the widget and app work perfectly. UPDATE: The update I received today fixed this issue. Yay!! I’m so happy! Now I can ask Google something from my iOS lockscreen instead of using Siri

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.

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.

Images No Longer Lets You Save. Have had the app for years and through several different phones and this has never been an issue in the past, but as of the last week or so, Google Images no longer lets you download pictures onto your phone. There had been a popular glitch in the past in which you’d have to hold down the image with one hand, wait for the save image popup, and click on the screen with your other hand and hold it down so you could select the download option without it disappearing, but now even that option has vanished and been replaced by some Google Lens feature to inspect the picture instead along with an “images may be subject to copyright” popup (I thought that might’ve been the issue but no images can be saved, not just copyrighted content). It’s very frustrating since looking for reference photos and such to save to my phone was one of the main functions I used the app for and I hope it gets fixed soon.

Ruined by one pointless update. Seriously, what is this popup garbage? Now going to a website is like clicking a link in instagram, which pulls up some temporary pop up browser, it no longer feels like using an actual internet browser. You can no longer change the url, clicking on the url just copies it instead of letting you change it. Instead, to go to a new site you either have to completely go back to the home page, or open a whole new tab and clutter the tabs page every time you want to make a new search. Whoever made this change seriously needs to be fired, because they must have some serious mental disability and clearly aren’t capable of having this big of a say in a company. No mentally capable person would genuinely think that removing core features of a web browser is a good idea. Turn google back into a web browser instead of this wannabe instagram browser trash, otherwise you’re going to have barely any users.

Search by image is unavailable.. Hi, I’ve been recently having issues with searching images,What happens is whenever I want to search an image instead of it pulling up related images or anything it says “ Search by image is unavailable. Please try again in a few hours.” The thing is that I’ve waited more than a hour, And unfortunately still says the same thing if I try again, And I’ve also seen others talk about this issue as well so if you can possibility look into this issue, Or it can be explained why this is happening, And I forgot to mention I used chrome and never have this issue please look into this like I’ve said previously stated in this review. Thank You

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.

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.

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.

It would be my favorite search engine BUT…. I’ll be honest, a world without Google is a world in which I don’t want to exist. I mean, you can find anything, and I mean ANYTHING on Google. It couldn’t get any more awesome than that, right? Well… It could. The fact that the Apple mobile version of Google doesn’t allow one the capability to download PDF’s/EPUB’s in order to view them, makes Google a little bit lame. If I had a dollar for every time I had to switch to Safari (🤢) & look up the same exact thing just so I could view a PDF, I’d probably be able to buy Google right now. (Maybe an exaggeration, but it’s occurred so much so that I felt very compelled to write this review) I personally rate it an overall 4.3 stars, as it has such potential to be the greatest creation since sliced bread. If only I could view my PDF’s…

New UI is Worse after latest update. I have always been a avid google user, and always preferred the google app over safari. however, this latest update has made me have an extreme uptick in my use of Safari. the new way to view webpages is not user friendly, and glitches very often. i often find myself losing the page i was on, or getting kicked out randomly. also, it is near impossible to begin a new tab without over riding an existing one. multiple times i am trying to input information from one site into another, and it end up closing one when i try and switch to the other. it’s infuriating. these bugs need to be fixed quickly, or i may end up making the full time switch to Safari as my go to app.

It old and classic. I feel like google has helped us cheat for a math question or an assignment it's like Siri but doesn't say can I search the web and no Siri I would not want to search the web thank you . Google is easy to use and can give a good definition for a word or a translation from English to Spanish and if your reading this in lockdown R.I.P your sanity :,)

Sucky. I love that I can use this in safari BUT safari is better and no offence but you should remake your app!!! Like it says I can remove an ad and then a new ad pops up it’s so irritating and like why can’t I just remove ads in this little section because I’m annoyed I just like I don’t want a add in my game and I’m trying to play my game so then it says do you want to remove this and I’m like yes and I click the yes button and thence new add just popped up or it’s like so Lagi that it just stays there I’m like mad at this app mad are you do you feel like one thing no I only just downloaded you just to make us little like slideshow thing I don’t even know what it is you are horrible you Safari will smack you in the face they are way better I hate your app I absolutely hate it

It’s ok. Love this app however it takes to long to update Like half an hour please fix this for me also when searching for something it takes a few minutes to load I have had this problem for quite some time now and it is really annoying please fix this problem other than this I really love the app sincerely babyzaza

App freezing up for a few seconds ALL THE TIME. This app constantly freezes for a few seconds while scrolling through the news feed when I am signed in to my account. It also crashes and exits the app on some occasions. Only thing that temporarily fixes it is if I clear all the browsing history in the app? But then after a few minutes it goes back to freezing again... very annoying! I have an iPhone XS so processor speed should not be an issue. Google keep releasing ‘bug fix’ updates but none of them resolve this issue. I’ve tried it across multiple phones and uninstalled/reinstalled the app and the issue persists.

Amazing innovation!. Love it. Makes life easier for the fussy typers out there! Super efficient typing! My only complaint would be app compatibility. There is a bug when using the OneNote app. The text font will change automatically if you use backspace to delete a character. This behavior is definately not by design and is very irritating. However, the bug doesn't occur if you use backspace to delete an auto-completed word.

Useful but something is wrong. I’ll say this app is very handy to have especially if you’re stuck on something like a game for example I always use this app to find a solution. Now a new update came out and like everything else I updated and now I can’t access the app anymore it opens but crashes as soon as that home page opens up please find a solution I love this app so much I even use it to keep up to date on the news.

Lost functionality. The app notifies me when my deliveries are sent which is fantastic. It used to have 3 menus down the bottom for the home page, details about the notifications, and search history. Now the details about the notifications has disappeared but I still get the notifications..? If I click on them it takes me to the homepage of the app and I can’t see any of the info I want. So why is it notifying me?? It’s really weird and very annoying.

Frustrating service. Frustrated that my google app takes forever to load 😡 This seems to have only started happening in the last 2 weeks and getting more frustrating! I know that it has nothing to do with the storage on my phone as I have plenty of space and even deleted other apps to make more room. Have also deleted all cookies, internet history etc and the app is still frustratingly slow to load, often crashing in the process 🤬

Current layout change. Google is a great app to use, the only recent problem I (personally) have is the current change to how the tabs have been changed to be similar to a temporary tab(?). Like, for example, if I wanted to go back to a different page entirely but it is supposed to be still in the same tab, I am just unable to do so and I need to go all the way back ( if that makes sense). I would prefer the old layout back where I can both easily go back to a previous page (on the same tab) and also type in the search section at the top of the tab (which is another thing that I have a problem with). If there were a way to change tabs layout without having to de-update the app, that would be really good. But besides that, google is a pretty good app to go on.

Good, but my problem..... Google is a great app and I use it everyday! But for ur collection, I mean I wish there was an option to add more things rather than have a limit to 5 I think. Also my google isn’t showing my recent searches, after I updated it. Even in an account it doesn’t show anything. And when I’m not using and account, it still doesn’t. So I hope ulna fix this. But overall, I love this app, just these 2 issues can be fixed. Thank You. 👍

Google lens. Downloaded this app specifically for the google lens search (dunno why they couldn’t put the function on chrome) first few searches worked well, now today I go to use it and the lens search has disappeared without a trace leaving only type or voice search? So I try and google the problem, nothing works to fix it. Even tried telling me to download google images to use google lens? C’mon google I already have the apps for gmail, chrome, drive, duo, maps, earth, home, assistant and now just the google app and am extremely disappointed as a user of google for over 15 years.

Awesome app. I am using Google keyboard while typing this review This app is awesome as you can just slide your finger to each letter of a word and it will type the word. Also the changing of the background is really good as you could have any background that you want. This app makes every on E in my class so jealous. I use it on all my devices.

Spoil people’s memory. This apps will not help to solve the doubts but will spoils people’s memory power. By using this apps people will not take effort to remember the names of the things, animals names or ect.....so I will not recommend this apps for kids or for anyone. This will destroy the knowledge of reading books or newspaper. People will be more lazy to remember things. I try use this apps just now but my partner told me that this apps will not be really helpful. Than what for human have brain and what is the use of human brain? Sorry to say this. Thank you

Can’t search for songs. I downloaded it only to find songs based on tunes since Shazam can only find songs if they are sung by the original singer. first used in French and it just kept clicking out and realised it couldn’t even search for songs in that language. I then switched to English and when I asked “What’s this Song?” It went to a google page called “what’s this song”, and when I asked “what song is playing” it went to a google search page called “Song”. Like seriously

Google!. One of the thing I love about google is that you can click a picture of something and say it’s something in another language you can translate it, you can take a picture and let google find similar images or take a picture of a product and it will search the product for you. I just think it’s a useful tool. It helped me do my homework too.

Comment on your invitation. I just need to read the bad reviews to understand your shortfalls . You need to be on top of bad reviews immediately to engender confidence. You should Not think you are so big ,that you write off the unhappy people as the ‘law of average’ percentage that you know will always be lost as customers. In other words …. you can’t please all the people . But , Once people hear the short falls you will have an exponential loss in uptake of your product. You still can’t get past the us and them concept . You are the US We are the THEM Once we feel you are on our side you don’t need to sell anymore . Also , Have you spreadsheeted and categorised the reviews , in order to deal with them and then go next level and respond to the people that have bothered to communicate with you. ? Most people can’t be bothered writing a review… they just walk away… so these reviews are (probably) the tip of the iceberg . Most reviews I read said it was a great app but…….. Also, Your pop up ad comes up on my I phone while I’m using another search engine. Where is my option to tell you to stop flashing that ad at me Or Am I meant to close it forever I’ve made my choice Please leave me alone There is no charge for this advice

Constantly reloading articles and new tabs. If I go to share an article to social media and return, the articles have already refreshed and I can't find the next one I was about to read. If I'm in a website or a search result and I leave google for a nanosecond I come back and it's on the home page again. Finally worked out it is creating dozens of new tabs for no reason and there is no way to stop this behaviour. Notice when reading these reviews that it's taking no notice of people's feedback. Instead just pasting a link to another location to provide feedback. But hey - the link can't be copied. Duh. And guess what - this is where people leave feedback so deal with it.

App suddenly slow and crashes on iPhone 8.. Not sure why but the past few weeks the app is crashing consistently on my iPhone 8. When I open it takes time to load (hasn’t happened before), the scroll lags (hasn’t happened before) and after a certain amount of time it just crashes. This seemed to happen even without an update to the app I think. I am running iOS 13 still, maybe that’s an issue but this problem has come out of the blue. I’ve noticed when I do use the app the right side of my phone about two thirds up the screen gets very warm, pretty sure this is where the CPU is located so there’s some weird thing going on there. Please fix this Google. Ok so I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app and it seems to be working smoothly now, lost all my tabs though 😠

It’s one of the basics. It’s Google amazing gives you boat loads of information for free it’s a must have I’m surprised it doesn’t come pre-installed on every phone (as far as I know) ii mean Google is a mainstream brand just as much as Apple and Samsung there really is nothing like it I mean you could argue and say bing is better but wake up people it’s the 21st century in not to long bing is gonna be put into museums google really is just a no brainer. TLDR Google is the best you must have it or i will personally hire Obama to hunt you down

Used to love Gmail App for iPhone! Please Fix this app!!!. Google; you’re so talented! And yet you have “dumbed” down this app so much it’s just a useless tool for people like myself/ others whom are very particular with fonts/ style / size & including bullet points etc.... The only app that now allows this on iPhone is Apple Mail app; however this is not the best app, as Gmail app - allows faster direct download. Clean and neat to swap from primary to junk etc. Thus giving it 3 Stars.... BUT It looses all its value with this bullet points and font size! All I can use is the “Apple iOS Bold, Italic and underline” which in its self is a hassle! As I have to highlight everything!!! And the fear of hitting delete/ cut or copy is so frustrating! Please add a “Pro Feature” for people like me, on the go and OR use phone a lot for email and corporate/ professional email reply. This would be most appreciated Outlook Microsoft on iPhone has better features for text! Please beat them! Thank you 😊 keep safe and well

App Crashing Problems. If you are having trouble with the app crashing when you open it, try removing the app and reinstalling it. This fixed the problem for me. If you can’t find the app swipe right to the App Library and hold down on the Google app until a drop down menu appears. Click on Add To Home and then you should be able to remove the app.

Slower after update. I have both Google (this app) and Chrome app. In the last year, this app has always been faster than Chrome. Today, this app was not usable so I updated it. Huge regret. After the upgrade, this app could no load any search results, while Chrome loaded search results - using the same search words - in 2 seconds. 5 star for the functionality. Minus 2 star for the unstable update.

Changes to routines are retrograde in latest version. The new routines UI is much less useful than the old version when you have a lot of devices. It would be much better if a device that’s already included in the routine is removed from the available list of devices so that you don’t lose track of which devices are already being controlled.

Taking Too Long For Search Bar To Load. It seems the app is actually working now and the issue I had before has gone away. However after opening the app the search bar is taking way too long to load up, it’s been slow for a very long time having a close to a 20 second delay before it loads but now that 20 seconds has become closer to 1 minute or just over and that just isn’t right. You shouldn't have a delay before using any app and I hope that this is actually looked into and fixed because I’ve been dealing with the 20 delay for months now which in itself is already frustrating but having to wait a full minute before I can even use the search bar and google something in the Google app should not be issue for anyone to have, please fix this issue.

Getting very slow to boot. Google now takes a good five seconds between being tapped and allowing its user to enter a search query. This is even with all of the assistant functions turned off and just the search function operational. It can be overcome by long pressing the icon and selecting quick serve however that too ads time. I’d love the ability to run the app in a raw search only mode where it hit else can lug the app down.

Fantastic, but not quite there. This browser is hands-down the best browser I have ever used. It is easy to use and eye catching, though sometimes it takes a while to load web pages. Also, safari has a great feature that would really improve it. Safari has reader view, which cuts out all clutter and ads on webpages, just leaving the main text. If Google could have some sort of add removal thing for webpages that would make it perfect. Thank you for your time

Keyboard drops away.. I am sooo happy that I’m able to remove the trending stories now but since that was fixed, when I open the app and try to type something in the search bar, my iPhone keyboard drops away after the first letter and I end up pressing whatever search topic is closest to my finger from my history. Then I have to go back to the Google home screen and start again. It only happens once I open the app after force closing it but please fix it. It’s frustrating. Thanks.

Review. I’ve enjoyed using Google ever since I was at school. I still use google and Google chrome. If suggest that google and it’s partners and the gmail sides of things take a closer look at the gmail email address. My Gmail Account has been hacked ever since then my NDIS has been hacked and multiple issues of other I don’t want to get into. But it did start off with my gmail account. As far as I’m aware. That’s why I gave a 3 star to google… Today my past information being fiddled perhaps tampered with? Unsure? I find this review to be in good spirits and I will still use google, I personally think GOOGLE needs better security. I use an iOS device. I don’t have evidence as they deleted some mail out of my gmail inbox. I don’t know what’s going on. One last thing. When I plug my phone into my PS5 for charging purposes only. I believe there’s something going on there and I don’t know how far these people/ virus / bug whatever it may be has gone. Thanks for reading my review. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Unable to listen to detected text from the immage with search with google lense. Hi I am blind and previously when you go to search with google lense with a particular immage it use to say text found in immage and it use to have a listen button. When double tapping on that it thd read the text from the immage. It seems like this feature has been removed. Please add this feature back.

The constant bugs are starting to annoy me. Recently I have had many issues with this app where I typed in a search and the results don’t show up and instead it tells me that the webpage is unavailable. This is despite the fact that I have full access to the internet and the other web browsers work fine. The only way I can resolve the issue is to delete the app and reinstall it again and again.

Some problems but still amazing. So basically I LOVEEE using this app so much but something that’s really confusing to me is that my google chrome computer doesn’t have google and haze some random browser I’m trying to find out how to get google on there but over all I love using google a lot it’s very good and helpful over all its a 4 star

Stop refreshing my feed arbitrarily. It’s not a bad app. But the most annoying ‘feature’ is that if you focus away from your interests/news feed for a bit and then come back to read that interesting article you saw then magically and before your eyes Google will disappear it from your feed forever. This happens even if you have the actual article page open! A big fail on the basics here.

When a default browser option. Hi Google, when can you add a default browser option like I downloaded Firefox and the default browser option shown. But with the Google app it didn’t show it at all. Google it would be appreciated if you added that feature Thanks Anonymous person

Ridiculous battery usage!!. I posted below about this app causing really high usage on the iPhone 6+ a few years back, now since the release of iOS12, my brand new iPhone 8 Plus is suffering again, it is dropping exactly 20% battery usage for every 9 minutes that I am using This google app. I have reset my phone to factory and did a clean update to uOS12 and the only optional app I had installed was Google and the results remained exactly the same, 20% for every 9 minutes of usage. Google really needs to address this issue. iPhone 6+ (78% efficiency) fully charged to 100%. 19 minutes using this app drained phone 37%. Get this sorted google.

So amazing!. Google is simply amazing! I have been a loyal user of their products for years now and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed by all the different features they offer. From searching the web to getting directions, to storing my files and photos, to staying connected with my friends and colleagues through Gmail, Google has got it all. One of my favorite things about Google is their ability to constantly improve and innovate their products. They never seem to settle for the status quo and are always coming up with new and exciting ways to make our lives easier. Additionally, the user interface is sleek, modern and user-friendly, making it easy for anyone to use. Another thing I appreciate about Google is their commitment to privacy and security. I have full trust in their systems and know that my personal information is in good hands.

Some problems and bugs 🫥. I love using Google chrome (or just Google) but I’ve had a lot of issues with the app. When I went on the app a lot it doesn’t show the news/ other things on the front page, (which is fine though because I don’t really look at the front page news, weather and such) and says “something went wrong, please try again later”. Another issue is when I use the app and go on Google to watch videos (with a Google search) it just says “something went wrong, tap to retry”. I also have search issues where the search bar takes way too long to load or just doesn’t work at all. Yes, I have updated it and it didn’t work and then deleted it and re-downloaded the app again, and that didn’t work either (well the only thing that did work was the front page but I’m still get the other issues, I don’t get the search bar issue often, but I get it every few hours or something like that). Also just a question but, why Google is 17+? I just don’t get it. I would really appreciate it if I got an answer 😊. Thank you for reading. 🙂

Annoying keeps crashing. I keep trying to go into google & within 5 seconds it keeps switching off on me. It only just happened. Can you please fix it. It getting worse as it won’t even come up I. I tried switching phone off & to no avail. Tried deleting & then going to App Store & loading it back in also to no avail.

Used to work well, not anymore. Updated, reinstalled …nothing fixes the problems. During the recent months (six or so) the app started occasionally freezing while in use or crashing and closing completely on its own straight after a launch. Persistent issue is that it doesn’t remember all the newly opened search tabs as it used to. It only works selectively without any apparent logic. It only remembers some while other recent searches disappear from the Tabs menu. Also, the recent search history doesn’t show/remember all the searched for items, only some selectively again without any apparent logic.

Recent problems. I have had the app for years, but over the last few weeks it rarely works. When I search it tells me I am offline, constantly. Sometimes it will work again after about 10 minutes, but mostly it just doesn’t work. Have to resort to using google in safari which works every time, proving I am not offline. Have now deleted the app as it’s pointless.

Awesome. Google is awesome it’s a amazing place to search the web play online games and more it’s amazing how you can almost see every thing in the world with one click of a button google has helped me and my friends and family it helps you go places that you can never go it helps with homework and alot more and has interesting things I recommend down loading google it helps trust me

Google, please keep up the work!. Like thousands of others we've spent twelve years building up a business online and along comes Gangster Google trying to squeeze the little man as usual and our business no longer appears in their search engine. Oh, you'll find us if you know our name, but if you search what we sell, only the the big guys show up, even if they don't sell the one-off specialties that we offer. Google changed without telling us and now we're being inundated by touts with no business name trying to cash in on Google's dirty tactics. We can retire out of Googles grasp, but we feel sorry for the younger family businesses being strangled by Google.

Dear google com.... Google is so accurate and super fast then I expected to be! It has all the answers I need it helps me in my life, it even fix my spellings , I accidentally did well I certainly think you are one of the best apps I ever had! It help me on work and images news videos but inappropriate stuff are terrible well I actually don’t go on inappropriate apps. I also think under 17 age of people may use it as well unless they don’t go to inappropriate stuff, so that’s why I definitely like google so much I really want thanks the people who made google and…THERE ARE DIFFERENT LANGUAGES AS WELL BELIEVE ME l 💖 google you are the part of my life google don’t ever delete this app GOOGLE!Ok.I NOW WELL 😄😁👍🏻Well done google!

Thanks google. I’ve been getting dodgy stuff from my regular iPad safari and they said to fix it I’d have to pay $$$+, I recalibrate every and now now use this app and everything is fixed and works faster then ever before 😃. I’m so done will apple everything just $$ over an over again

Great App. I very much like this app as it has a very good look. This is much better than the safari app as it has very small buttons which are hard to press on my tiny iPad mini 2. On the other hand, the google app consists of bigger buttons which are easier to press on a phone and on a tiny iPad like mine. Thank you very much google.

GOOGLE IS MY LIFE. Google is apparently Siri, Wikipedia and Bing all combined! I mean, Siri actually uses Google to tell you the answer of the question you either said or typed. I’v used Google to fix ANY single problem I needed an answer to. I am only an 8 year old and it has been very helpful. Me and my parents really rely on Google. So no matter how old you are, if you’ve managed to read this whole review, scroll up and immediately press that “GET” button ASAP. Thank you for reading this review.

Improvement for news feeds. We do not have time to read certain news and it disappears with other news next time you come back for google search. It would be good to swipe left to delete and swipe right each news article to sort out interested, read later, follow topics for more updates etc.

Google Review. Hi Google, I am very happy with your app, it is fast, efficient and I can usually get all the information I need. HOWEVER, there is one big problem, I cannot get my recent searches to record under that heading. This is very frustrating as I use the same searches every working day and would appreciate something done about it please. Thank you for your app, as I have said I am happy with it except with the problem I have mentioned above.

Google. I’m not sure if it’s just me or everyone else that has a problem with Siri. Years ago google was my go to for all situations and moods and never failed me. Now I have an iPhone and have been looking for the same old google I used to know and if all goes well my life is going to have major improvements. Fingers crossed google, you are more than just amazing.

Incognito without login please. The Google search platform is very good and i have started using the incognito function to avoid tracking etc. I am wondering why Google needs to insist on a login every time i use it?!! It is annoying and i am guessing that for commercial reasons Google would prefer a user to be tracked? Anyway, i would prefer no tracking and not to have to log in every time i use it. Remove the log in please.

To gram. Have had to delete several times to update my version. Newer version doesn’t seem any better. It takes too long to down load. I use it a lot to get info when we have visitors hope it improves soon as a lot of time is wasted waiting for it to fire up.

App freezes constantly. Every time I try using this app I have to switch and open the page in safari. It freezes and won’t open links.

Good. It’s great for watching youtube

Bogue. L’application plante après 10 secondes après l’ouverture depuis le 5 mai, application inutilisable!

I love it. It’s Amazing for many things but it can lie I was getting all the flags for nato and on the list it didn’t say Ukraine or USA and I KNOW FOR A FACT USA IS IN THERE because I’m in Canada I know our biggest ally (USA) and why are we fighting for Ukraine if they’re not NATO? They are they got accepted that’s why we’re fighting for them but that’s on about one topic either way the system is amazing. have a good day Google.😌

I love this app. Wow if you never had this app I wouldn’t be this happy I thank you so much and god bless you amen

Favorite. Only one

What happened to 'delete all'?. It used to be so simple to delete your search history and now I can't do it!!!! You have made it too complicated!

Freezing. I have few tabs on then i switch to different app. When i comeback for google its totally frozen no response nothing. Its been happening for almost months and i dont kknow why. Theres no updates or anything. It’s frustrating you cant resume what u were doing.

Wired. I can’t search anything when I use this App in my iPhone, it always tell me unable to get results with no network, but actually I can search what I want by Chrome APP in my phone at the exactly same time. And I check the WLAN and data settings for Google APP, everything is alright, Am I bugged by someone?

It keeps crashing. I used to use this app all the time but for a couple of weeks now it crashes after about 15 seconds every single time. It’s very frustrating. I don’t have an old phone either. Please fix the issue.

Stop ask me to get the app. Every time load Safari do a search. I get this message “ Fast access to Google”

Keeps crashing. The update doesn’t load properly and keeps crashing. Worked better before update.

Do NOT upgrade to V217.0. This upgrade is the worst!! The app glitches, freezes and takes FOREVERRRRR to search. Worst decision I’ve made in years. Now I’ll have to suffer with Safari again.

ALWAYS CRASHES. This used to be a very good app but for a little while now, for me, once you open the app and stay on it for a few seconds, all it does is crash and closes. You can’t do anything on this app!

Not saving my place. Lately, this app has not been saving my position when I exit without closing the app. Swiping out of the app, or even just locking my phone, causes the app to revert to its home screen. I lose my place browsing the internet every time I have to tend to something else. So frustrating.

Keeps crashing. After the latest google app update, the app keeps crashing 30-60 seconds after I open it. Quite frustrating! Hopefully there’s a new update soon to fix it.

Hum this tune/ what’s this song, non existent.. One star may be a bit harsh but this is the only reason I agreed to give google more of my data thanks to their newest ad. This feature is completely non existent for me iPhone 8+ everything up to date. Had to check if it was early April fools or something.

Google Images. They new format makes it so I can’t tap on an image to isolate it anymore. Looks a lot uglier and hard to look at. Unnecessary change honestly.

Was good. They removed the feature to be able to hold onto any image to save it? Why??

Awesome and FREE. Google is almost completely free ! Keep up the amazing work!

F you google. Google is now forcing people to download its app to log into YouTube, and offers no other alternative. I will be deleting immediately

Welp. I saw an ad so it can guess the song so can u tell meh how the heck I do that

the AI sucks. google lens does not work, it’s never capable of finding an image source when I try. Why disable the option of reverse image search? it’s so frustrating.

تحيا فلسطين. تحيا فلسطين رغم انفكم فلتسقط خرائطكم

Why would you change photos?. I just updated the app yesterday and all of a sudden I can’t view pictures properly. Why would you change this? It was perfect before and now I’m just upset. Now I’ll have to save images to my camera roll just to look at them full screen. Truly disappointed in you.

:p. This won't even downlode

Good. Google is a very good app

App crashes constantly every time we reopen it after sometime. App crashes constantly every time we reopen it after sometime

I love it. It’s the best

App crashes. Wow. For a big company like google they cannot code apps which cannot crash. Should have tested first

AWESOME 😎. THIs IS SO COOL.so there’s this 1910s song I like and it helped me find it by the humming thing

Palestine in google maps. Palestine will be free even you took it from your maps

Disappointing.. App performance has been slipping for years. Recent updates have left the app completely unstable. There is an extremely long delay in launching the app and then it crashes after a few minutes of use. My suggestion is to focus on improving the app performance before adding new features or new layouts.

RIP Google. Dear Google; What happened? You used to be the best search engine on the market. Helped revolutionize the way computers are used to this day. Unfortunately, those days are long gone. Now, it’s just a dusty old relic. The search results are usually inaccurate, redundant or just an ad. It’s gotten to the point where I no longer say “google it”. Every time I ask google a question, it gives me the wrong answer. When I reword the question 3-4 different ways, it still gives me the exact same wrong answer. For example, someone in a chat room said elephants urinate from their trunk. I didn’t believe but also didn’t know for sure so, I “googled it” here are the questions I asked; How does an elephant pee? Does an elephant pee from its trunk? Where does an elephant pee from? Last question I will not write. All the questions gave the same answer explaining that an elephants urinary tract is similar to that of a mouse. That’s not what I asked, not even close and something similar happens with every question I ask. So, that’s just your search engine. I’m still upset you ruined Songza, YouTube music is terrible. I’m not going to bring up all the flaws of all your products but, if you don’t fix them soon then google will be as common as the dodo bird. (Extinct) Ps; I downloaded the app just to leave this review. I deleted it immediately after. Sadly, I still use Gmail but that will change soon. REST IN PEACE!!!

Sends ads as notifications. Stop sending me ads as notifications.

Music Identification. After seeing the annoying ad claiming that you can hum or whistle a song for identification, I thought what the heck, let’s try it. After attempting 5 song ID’s through (popular and non popular) whistling or humming, I can say this does not work at all. If your ad claims something, at least ensure this is easy to make work otherwise first impressions will sink you. This is why I still refuse to subscribe to YouTube; it’s half baked.

not as described. Cannot hum or whistle song as described. I hit mic button and say, "Search song or find a song" as instructed and as soon as I say that it comes up search results for "find a song". There is no delay to allow me to even hum it

No song search available as advertised. They advertised vocal song search. I downloaded the app for that. It is not available!

Love. Unlimited stuff to search up

تحيى فلسطين رغم أنفكم.. تحيى فلسطين رغم أنفكم.

Hum to google doesn’t work. Only reason i downloaded this app was to take advantage of humming to google. Feature doesn’t seem to be working on iPhone 12 Pro Max

Can’t download from the cloud. I can’t download this from the cloud. Please help

You now require notifications for directions. That is super lame.

Very happy. Simply: The best

Include image search. My biggest use for this would to quickly search an image to use as a meme or something. There should def be an image search option.

school is 🗑. screw school man

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.

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.

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.

Akstyles. 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.

Services NOT received (NYT subscription) and no way to dispute. I’ve been trying to contact google in every way shape or form in order to get them to refund me my money, but there is no Avenue. Zero. They don’t give any way for you to directly email someone so that you can resolve your issue and don’t give any phone to call. A New York Times news subscription is pretty basic and it seems like I should’ve been able to troubleshoot why I wasn’t receiving service. I spoke to the New York Times x2 and both times they said it was a third-party (Google Pay issue). The fact that I can’t contact them directly it’s really bad. The account information that I received in my email doesn’t work when I enter it into their form. Don’t trust this app! There’s no way you can get your money back because there’s no way to contact anyone if you have an issue.

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!!

Could be an amazing app but.... I really like this app, but lately I have been pretty frustrated with it. This wasn’t happening at first, but now when I open the recently visited websites tab after I’ve been using the app to try and navigate to another page it won’t go to the page I want. It is happening fairly often too. It’s not that big of a deal, because I can get there by either typing it into the address bar or closing out of and restarting the app (sometimes this doesn’t work though). But it’s a real pain and can prevent me from setting aside a page or make me lose my progress on something like it just recently did. The mishap is actually what prompted me to write this review. If this problem were to go away the app would get a full 5 stars from me.

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?

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

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.

Slow and laggy typing. I have been using this app for the last 2 years almost everyday. But since the last few updates in September/October 2019 the app has been laggy and slow. I’m typing faster than the app can recognize. It takes it a few seconds before the text shows what I have actually typed into the search bar. I know it’s not just my phone being slow because I am able to write this review without the problem and text at my normal speed in iMessages and other apps with no issues. Additionally, the search results seem to take longer to appear. The app hangs and freezes from time to time. Websites are opening slowly, and stay blank for a while before opening or not at all. When I’m scrolling down a page it does not scroll smoothly, rather there are pauses and it lags behind. I thought the most recent update would fix the problem but it hasn’t. The actual search content wise is good but there are too many “related searches” and “related search results” displayed and not enough actual results displayed on the small screen. It usually shows about 10-12 results, and then a list of 8 related searches and results for potential searches. That ratio is too close and there should be more actual search results. Please fix this.

News feed is so bad it's surreal. For the longest time, I really enjoyed this app as a combination Google search bar and customized news feed. And for a while it was great! It reminded me of Google's discontinued iGoogle homepage. But something significant changed not long ago and the news feed is basically just random trash that I've never told Google I'm interested in. In fact, no matter how many times I tell the app I'm not interested in a topic or person or source or whatever, it just continues to show me more. It's laughable what it decides I'm going to want to see. Disappointing, because it used to be a regular piece of my news perusal. Now it's worthless and no amount of interaction seems to help the "algorithm" figure out what I wanna see. Come on, Google. You own so much data on me already that you should be able to figure me out. Especially with my help.

Fatal Flaw. The app is fine—it’s Google and Google has a lot of helpful products. It’s intuitive, yada yada yada. The problem is that when you open the app and want to start typing, there is at least a one second delay before it lets you click into the search bar... other browser apps allow you to start typing immediately and presumably just load other stuff while you are typing your search. Not sure why Google can’t figure this one out... The other issue is that Google’s search algorithms produce liberal-biased results. If you don’t believe me just do some search comparisons using Google and Yahoo. I knew Google was a liberal company but it’s unacceptable that it permeates into OUR web searches.

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

Fix the collections, please put them back on how they were!!. Can you guys separate the tabs and the collections and leave it how it was before, it’s annoying to go to your tabs and then swipe to the collections but the most Annoying part is that if you want to check your collections you have to click on “view all collections” because if you don’t you’ll only see the recent ones that are saved and will not show you the rest. Also when you click on one of the saved pages on your collections you have to go back click on “view collections” and back to the same file you click on just to find what your looking for and is you miss click you have to redo everything again and again. It’s annoying please fix that, it’s getting to the point where I don’t want to rely on google anymore.

Dentists of Tucson. Let me start by saying Dr Stears and his assistant did a wonderful job on my new crown. I also got a chance to see and hug Lynette, favorite hygienist, she is awesome. Very professional staff, always smiling and welcoming. Items are explained and you are aware of your portion of the payment necessary to do procedure. Business manager handled an irate patient professionally and I commend her for being calm but stern. Please remember to be kind, the people are simple doing their job, which they do an exceptional job. I work in the medical field and understand the difficulty of insurance companies and explaining the remaining balances and it is difficult. I love this staff and will continue to come here and recommend this office to everyone!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Good App, only one problem. I’ve been getting this pop up lately on Google and Google Chrome that basically says “Congratulations, you have been selected...” and all that. It’s a scam. It’s really consistent and it won’t go away even after clearing my cookies on my phone. It doesn’t happen on Safari and only on Google products on my phone. I tried deleting the app and I even reset my phone and nothing has worked. One way you can improve is to add a feature to Google that stops frequent pop ups like that because this is getting out of hand. That’s the only problem I have with it, everything else is fine. And trust me, it’s not just me who is dealing with all of this. I hope this will be solved soon.

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.

A Must-Have Search App: 5 Stars for Functionality and Fluidity. I absolutely love this app! The functionalities are top-notch and it runs so smoothly. I can easily navigate through different sections and find what I need without any trouble. The design is sleek and user-friendly. My only suggestion for improvement would be to make the app a default search browser option on iPhone. Currently, I can only set Chrome as my default browser, but I prefer using this app for my searches. Overall, a fantastic experience and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient search app.

Hugely Politically biased. I’ve looked up “donate to Trumps campaign” only to find a bunch of “mud” on Trump. This is hugely unfair and undemocratic and just morally wrong. This is supposed to be the Information Age. Information and knowledge are supposed to be unbiased and without malignant ulterior motivation. So why is it so hard to find where to donate to Trumps campaign? The query was simple, straightforward, and obvious in what I wanted to find but the results I’m obviously looking for? Obscure. Search “donate to Bidens campaign” first result is a website where one can do so. Anyone that thinks big tech isn’t interfering with elections is an idiot. Anyone else that thinks they are and are fine with it is evil AND an idiot. The elite at the top keep growing in power and lording it over the rest of us. Sooner or later they’re going to start doing more and more things more and more people aren’t going to like. We must stop them now.

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.

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.

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)

Chelsea Bynum McKellum -Restland employee who helped us.. Restland was the place we chooses for our end distiny. We meet Chelsea when our siste Marisa was laid on that certain area of Restland. That’s where we meet Chelsea. After that time we Capasgordo’s planned to get some place for us . Chelsea was the who accommodated us .

Thank you so much Chelsea and hoping that you still can help others as what you did to us. God Bless Always .

Fix History and Images. The way you delete and look at your search history along with Google images has recently been updated, and it needs to go back. First off, the best feature of your Search History, the ability to delete all of it at once, has been removed and replaced with a day by day basis which is much more difficult to manage. Also, the way you view images when you search has been changed and looks atrocious. It’s clunky, and you can no longer look at images in full screen. It appears to be a terrible attempt at trying to make it look like the desktop image search. Please, please, bring back the old History and Images search, as they are superior and easier to use than what has been added.

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!

Swipe keyboard. The reason I have this app is for the swipe keyboard. This may be the single greatest feature of this app, as my major complaint about iPhones has always been the lack of one. However, since the latest update (11.2.1), there has been quite a lag between me finishing a word and it being entered onto the screen. If I type too fast, words sometimes won't get displayed as they get"typed over." This is extremely frustrating and completely ruins the point of swipe (fast texting), and therefore, the app (in my particular case). It may be an Apple issue, since it has only been happening since the most recent update, but there may be something you guys can do about it. This is a 5 star app, but since the update has been a 2 star app. Please fix this issue. (I have an iPhone SE if that matters at all) Thanks

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??!!!!

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.

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.

Doesn’t work half the time. I’ve had this app for a few years and it’s happened intermittently, but it seems to have gotten worse recently. I’ll search something and then just...... nothing. The screen will be and stay blank indefinitely, not loading a single result. Blue bar will fill up, but nothing shows up. I’ve tried it on multiple different wifi networks, using data in various locations, force quit the app and restarted, to no avail. I’ll then go search the same thing on the Safari app and it’ll immediately load. So I’m inclined to think that it’s a problem with the app’s functionality, not user error. The next day or so it’ll start functioning properly, only to go back to being broken again. It was convenient, but now it’s just infuriating

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.

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.

Only works half the time. I used to really enjoy this app, I’ve been using it for a few years now. Now it seems like ads are the priority, not content. Annoying ads are the first to load, content comes second. What prompted me to write this review was when I was trying to finish an article, the content repeatedly disappeared on the page, the ads stayed in place of course, causing me to constantly refresh. The load/refresh rate is always slow, even on a fast connection. Not to mention I get pop-ups that take over my screen on a regular basis. Is this how Google treats its users? Not to mention the biased search results and cards. I consider myself a moderate, but the mentioned items are always politically skewed. How about some variety Google? Stop treating your users as statistics and data mines. Fix these issues.

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!!

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.

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

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”

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.

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.

Craig at Sentinel Pest. Craig is great and always checks in the day before he is coming with a call, he also checks with us when he arrives. He is very responsive to our questions and concerns about the wild life we have around our home that we don’t want to be affected negatively by the pest chemicals. We need to keep them out of the house and he is good about making sure that happens. I would highly recommend Sentinel for your pest control needs. They allow us to skip months if we don’t feel we need them and are not as expensive as some companies. Craig has been our Representative for over 3 years.

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.

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 :(

Could use a better hi. I’m a fan of google and all it offers but i much prefer google news ui and gategories setup to this search app I believe that this app could use a better gategory selection as well as the non existent sub category like on the actual website google news app is awesome but buggy and has everything i want this app is just the google news with out the ability to easily select options no bells or whistles hardly and it is frustrating to Navigate especially when you reach the end after clicking more it is lacking but not buggy like google news
