Google 17+

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 - 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.

Can’t do what other communication apps do

Love that you can use this app for cell phones or landline but I don’t know why other communication apps are able to show messages instantly and you’re able to search for messages or phone calls and in here it takes a whole minute until each message that you’ve received appears. It lets you know the message has arrived, you can see the preview, but it takes another minute for it to actually show. Also impossible to search for previous phone calls or messages. The search algorithm is completely useless. I don’t understand why this company is not able to create a better product when others exist (so obviously it’s possible and it’s not an issue of the platform) that are way better, such as Whatsapp. There you can easily search for previous phone calls or messages and messages appear immediately. The only issue is that it doesn’t work for regular phone calls. so until I find something better that can work with regular phone calls will have to continue using this app.
