Yes, I've been experiencing the same issues as others. It often freezes when I open it and requires me to constantly close and re-open it. - The biggest issue for me is when I open it and I tap the search bar. When I begin to type it bugs and requires me to tap the search bar again to continue typing. - —It's very bothersome and I've just now resorted to DuckDuckGo (another browser). - Conclusion; there are a few bugs with opening the app, and using the searchbar but other than that it's fine.
I sure do miss the days when you could long press on an image and simply do an image search in Chrome. The "google lens" option they have now is so abysmally bad that it's pretty much unusable. Not only is the search algorithm itself much worse, but there is now no option to save the images found, and I can't even view images in landscape anymore!
I don't know how many times I'll have to click not interested in the news feed to turn off notifications from specific sources, seems like app doesn't understand basic things. And if I completely turn off the notifications reminders set using assistant wont work. Really disappointed, been using the app for a long time, I was really happy in the beginning because it was showing me what's relevant.
This app does entirely way too much to ever possibly write a thorough review about it. Everything from Google Search with text and your voice, (Lens) search using your camera and saved pictures, setting reminders, GPS, calendar, events, tasks, customized news, customization and organization within the entirety of the Google ecosystem, you need this app for everything and it does everything extremely well. It's everything you could need from Google.
I am having the same problems as others. When I search I can only type 1 letter before the page refreshes and goes to the bottom of screen. Then I have to click the search bar again so that I can type the rest of my query. So annoying! I've updated the app and nothing seems to fix it. I will be using a different search provider until this is fixed. There's other issues as well but this is the one that drives me crazy!
Google assistant not working. Tried reinstalling, tried to go back and set it up and it says no connection. I am connected to home internet with strong signal. This was s on a Google Pixel 6, which I would NOT recommend to anyone. I have nothing but problems with it. Already exchanged first one I got. What a nightmare that was. FedEx lost it and was almost out the $650.
Never had a problem with my Pixel before. Now since the updates the weather from my main screen under the date is gone, can't find a way to get it back. The main button in the middle of phone doesn't work at all unless I hold it but that just bring ups the Google voice which I never use. I hate updates. They always mess with the stuff we have grown to use and love.
(Update) I uninstalled the updates and it's working again, so it has something to do with your update. (Original) Usually works perfectly but not good lately. Everytime I click on a link it opens up to a black screen and freezes. I haven't been able to open any links through Google in a while. Not sure what's going on but you guys need to fix it. I'm going to try uninstalling it and reinstalling it to see if that helps.
The update has been lacking the former ease of access. It repeatedly freezes. I have to shut it down, clear cache, reboot my phone and that doesn't always fix the issue. The past twenty four houra I have been met with "error, Fortinet was not installed properly". I haven't installed anything and cannot find anything by that name in my phone. I am currently searching for a new search engine because this defeats the purpose it use to serve.
Google Assistant is COMPLETELY UNUSABLE: When I click on it, it takes me to update the app in the Play Store (can't tell you why it brings me to the app for Google itself, and not Assistant), but when I get here, the only option is to Open it or Uninstall. This has been going on for a 2 weeks now. Uninstalling/reinstalling does not fix it. With the tons of crud people complained about here, it seems Google needs to completely overhaul the app, clean out the bugs, & get it back to us fixed. Blek!
Samsung Note20U. When I use this app to search, hotels for example, I will click on the "view map" option. This opens google's web map -but- not the actual Google Map app. My stylus works fine on the actual Google Map App in terms of clicking on hotels. BUT my stylus is no longer working on google's web map. Google's map no longer recognizes it. I have no other issues with my stylus on any app. SUPER FRUSTRATING
Suddenly yesterday when doing Google searches, the font on the information was tiny. Tried several ways to fix it but ended up having to uninstall updates on it. That returned the font to what I had previously. I tried allowing it to install the updates later and at first did not notice a problem, however, overnight it went back to the tiny fonts. I've uninstalled updates again and returned to normal but this is a bit annoying. Any suggestions Google??
As soon as I start a search, the screen flashes after the first character is pressed, then it "flashes", and seems like a different screen, yet the character I pressed is still there. Using an A32 5G. This was a problem some time ago, according to advice in your help section, and to update the app was the solution. If no update is available, it said to wait a little, and the update would suddenly show. Nope! Wasting 30 mins seeking to fix. Many probs lately, others found!? Please help..!??
One star is too much!!!! I am truly frustrated with the upgrade. When I type the first letter, the screen jumps to another search page where I start to continue typing the word. It will let me search sometimes, but other times I haven't been able to search at all, the app closes.
New Update messed EVERYTHING up. I have used this for YEARS, I loved it. I could always set a timer from a lock screen & the assistant always got everything right. However, for weeks now the app won't load & is black. It just freezes (just like everyone else lately). It no longer recognizes my voice commands despite being set up. I tried for a few weeks just rolling back your updated & that DID help but now not even that works anymore. What did you do??
I've been having problems similar to those reported recently by other users. This used to be the absolute best search app. Since a few weeks ago, however, the app opens but doesn't allow any entries, and sometimes even crashes my phone. I've switched to a competitor with less comprehensive results but with the benefit that my searches aren't tracked. Very disappointed in Google. Update 4/27/22: I can fix this by uninstalling all updates. But I have to do that at least once per day. Um... nope.
The Google app has become very unstable. The app crashes every time I try to use it. Clearing the cache, and updating the App does not help. The App has become fatally unstable and is very difficult to uninstall for a clean re- install. This instability has been occurring for about 2.5 to 3 weeks and does not appear to be being addressed by Google.
Google has always been my go to search tool. I loved it. Not anymore. The last few weeks it won't load. The google name shows but I cannot do a search at all. It will only work after I've used *force stop* then reopen the app. Then it might work 2 times and it stops again. It's a vicious circle. Its extremely annoying. Please fix whatever you broke Google!
I love this app but unfortunately for the past few days I have been having a lot of issues with it. Every time I look something up and click on the link to open it the screen goes black. Nothing loads it just then goes back to the website suggestions and the website closes on its own and never appears. I uninstalled the app and then force stopped it and it still doesnt work. Very frustrating!
The update has stopped my Android Autoplay from getting voice commands. I can't make call or make any voice commands. Today, the app disabled all voice commands. I had to go in manually again and turn on Voice assistant. I don't know what is happening with this app. Latest update has broken the app. What a mess you have created with this one!!!
After last update, the page won't load. No news feed, just white space. Can only see the Google icon and the search bar. But when I tap the search bar, it won't recognize that l'm tapping it, so no keyboard pop ups and I can't search for anything. Tried uninstalling, which I can't actually do, it just takes it back to original factory settings and still doesn't work. Re-do the updates. Still doesn't work.
Lately (past month or so) I've had lots of intermittant glitches in the video playback on Google. The video plays a few seconds then stops! I must hit hit play again. The video continues and then stops again. This repeats, requiring me to hit play 15 to 30 times to finish the video, which I refuse to do! I get the same problem with three different video players. Please fix this.
I have always been a fan of Google for the obvious reason. But it seems a lot of the simple things are very difficult to do. Such as going through your Google search history; having to click on your profile picture and go to manage settings and then from there it is a giant cluster. At least that's how I feel personally.. and so many settings, that are alot to list, are found through there which annoys me. Also, finding bookmarked/hearted cards in the Google app was very difficult to figure out.
I used to love this! It was saved on my homescreen and was my go to for searching. But in the last 2-3 weeks it has stopped working. The screen pulls up and then freezes. I can't input search data, I can't exit back to my homescreen, it just completely freezes my entire phone. I tried troubleshooting but nothing is working. I hope Google will fix this so that it works again. For now I have stopped using it. So sad because before I would have given 5 stars.
Hello, I would like to report that the Google app lately is crashing and does not let me search and does not show me relevant news articles below the search bar. I have a Samsung Galaxy S8+ from 2018 and this happens every time I open the Google app after I closed it. In order to work, everytime I have to go to settings and force quit the application in order for it to work once again. This has been going on for about one month. I am eagerly looking forward to hearing back from you soon.
I usually give preference to Google apps over any other. It's usually good enough experience, "free", and I get consistency across devices. However, the Google app and the Google assistent have been constantly buggy and laggy. What's most disappointing though is the response from the support team to other comments I've seen here. Come on, guys, don't sent people some automated response with a generic link. Fix the app! Roll out updates. If anyone have the means to make the best apps it's you!
The app often freezes, or when you click to open a page it just don't want. Sometimes it even close itself by itself. When I use the search bar sometimes I can't even use the search button. I have to restart the app everytime and it is really annoying. It is just lags, freezes and bugs all the time.
