Google Maps App Reviews

Google maps has been flawless for me for years. I trusted google to get me exactly where I needed to go on the fastest route. But since the last update, my arrow doesn’t move along the road smoothly and it has fallen behind my current location by a couple of miles. The arrow is constantly spinning like I am spinning my cell phone I my hand. In a couple of instances, it wanted me to turn around even though I knew I was going in the correct direction. I just can’t trust it anymore to the point that I started to use the iPhone map app.

I don’t want a stupid game showing up on my google maps. If this does not go away google maps goes away.

Google map used to be the best map app out there for years. Now it seems to be worse than Apple maps day-one!!! It’s so confused and lost lately(last few months)! I have tested it on different iPhones models and they are all inaccurate. It’s really dangerous using it while driving. It either keeps re-routing or the arrow hovers over the map loosely. Can’t you just fix it? Should all the user switch to other maps until you guys decide to fix it? Google map is not just an app these days, it’s a tool and it has to work accurately.

Until the recent update, I used Google Maps more than any other app. I would consult it whenever I came across a place name in the news; I used it to search local businesses; I used it to explore the world. It used to be that you could tap on most any location and you would be presented with a host of information from census data to Wikipedia links for the spot. It was awesome. You could tap on a town outside Rome to see if it warranted a day trip on your vacation with the easily presented info—then you could get directions for how to get there from where you were staying. No more. Now when you tap a random place (no matter how major the place), you get a weather report, coordinates, and a “plus code,” which is about as useless as anything I can imagine. Now, I use Google maps strictly for directions. This used to be a 5-star near perfect app. I told everyone about it, such as friends, family, colleagues, and students. Over the last couple weeks I’ve been discouraging people from using what had been an ideal app since apparently fewer features and less information is better...oh, but you can play Where’s Waldo on April Fools Day. Sooooo useful. Hate it.

I used to love Google Maps but recently it has been extremely glitchy and completely inaccurate. I live in a moderately-sized city in Ohio and was trying to send a friend directions to where I was, and the directions said it would take 21 hours from a location that was at most, 15 minutes away. I thought this was an isolated incident, but it has happened a separate 3-4 times and thus has made the app unreliable. I will be reverting to Apple Maps until these bugs are fixed. Very disappointed with Google.

Hi

Love this app.....with it, I never get lost.

It stopped working right on my ipad pro after the last update.

Thanks for getting back. Hello again; I have done as you instructed, but to no end... . I am facing the same issue.

I can’t get transit directions for the time of arrival that I need. I put in that I need to arrive at 12pm and the app gives me just about every schedule except that one.

I wish google would stamp the date the photo was taken on the satellite photos

Please add avoid HOV lane option.

Simply the best, better the rest! گوگل مپ، تو بهترينى!

I installed the iOS 11 update and now maps doesn’t what to properly. Once I enter location and initiate route the system does not follow my progress. It never moves. Icon remains where I initiated route. I called tech support and was told my maps was flawed and it would cost $50 to repair using Apple tech support.

Way off here lately. Showing more than 5 miles away for over an hour and never left the house for the day. Need consistency or another better app if continues unfortunately....

This is a great map, it will show you where everything is, but’s it’s impossible to use on trips or custom maps. If you’re looking for directions without a custom map and for only one destination, this map is for you. If you create your own maps, need to look up multiple destinations, or are on a trip, it’s near impossible. First of all, I had my mom send me the link to our custom map. It send to my gmail, no problem. Then I’d click on the map, and it either wouldn’t load, or take me to Safari. The Safari view would show the map, but decline to let you get directions unless you signed in. Okay. I signed in. Well, it took my back to my home address, and sent me on a infinite loop, going from clicking the link in my email, getting sent to safari, logging in, and losing the map. I had to redownload the app four times before it worked. Second of all, the map legend isn’t interactive. I’m going to new york, and spent six hours working on a custom map, with a pin for every single place I wanted to go. i downloaded the app, only to find that in the map legend, you can’t click on individual icons, forcing you to leave the map legend, and click on every single icon until it pops up. Very dissapointed.

Why the hell is Waldo taking up half my screen? This is thoroughly obnoxious. Make it go away!

Good map. Works well. Easy to understand. D cent majority of the time?

The latest version, yet again, forgets my map layer setting for traffic overnight. Annoying. It also clutters my map with “Explore” suggestions at the bottom of the map, requiring a press to clear then another press to go full-screen with the map. Also annoying.

Need to update the pictures
