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

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.
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.
