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.

Okay, but very slow

ive been using the google app since 2017, great app, ive watched it go through many updates. but the past two years it has gotten frustratingly worse. mainly its speed overall. sometimes articles just wont load at all, often my searches wont go through until i close and reopen the app, annoying. its come to a point where i really only use this app for quick short questions that dont require opening a link, or to find a web page then reopen it in safari, because the browser in the app is just far too slow and buggy. it wont save half the pages i’ve previously gone to in my history. the only reason i stay on this app is for the personalised web articles which i really enjoy and is personalised very well. if they took away the list of articles on the home page i would leave in a heartbeat, its really the only good feature of the app. oh and along with googling pictures without it being a full hassle, very handy! if the speed problems get fixed i would definitely go back to using this full time and abandoning safari, but at this rate it seems ill be stuck with a bit of both because this app just has not gotten any better over the past two years. maybe its just because its on my iphone XR, but due to other apps running smoothly, im leaning towards that is not the answer.

Wow, a lovely automated response, with a link not even relevant to what im saying. taking away another star.

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. 🙂

Forces you to get the app

It used to be that on iOS, you could use google image search straight from safari. Then they changed it so that if you use the image search, it uses google lens and you have to click on “find image source” to get the normal image search. They also made it so that you have to “request desktop site” to use google image search, otherwise it redirects you to the app store. Bit annoying but ok

Then a few weeks ago they changed it again so that you can’t use the normal image search in its own tab. It opens as a popup instead, which is a lot more inconvenient. Even more annoying but ok

Now they made the reverse image search, and google lens, not work at all from safari! Not even if I request desktop site! I have to get the app to use google lens or inage search on my phone! That’s too annoying! Why are you making it worse?

Google is gooooooooooooooooooooood

Google shows me what I need to know for instant I love stranger things and it I get all the info about it and it shows me things I need to know straight away. But there is one problem it is when i have to take a photo of something and it is a math equation and I can’t find it on the normal one so then I go on to homework and it shows me things to help me do it but if only I could get the answer. But Google has hidden games in it, like if you go to your tabs then keep going down you will get a pinball game it is so fun. Google is great thanks for reading. 🙂👋✋

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

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.

OMG this is the best app ever!

This is the best app ever. I recommend you downloaded this instant. it works with fandom. roblox community guidelines. and more.! it is so good like when you search minions you can have a 3-D minion dancing in your room and if you don’t know what something is you can just take a picture of it and it will tell you what it is! Best I’ve ever 10/10 😊 🤩and you can use a Google Calendar with it with image search and you can also do text download it unless if you haven’t it even has a Google newsfeed except it doesn’t work sometimes and for kids so download it now 😻

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.
