Google Maps as an application is great for travel and directions over all. It is accurately interconnected to transit systems in cities I travel to. Easy interface for looking at reviews and information of destination’s. Now the only thing I have to complain about is when you type in your destination for directions is the map auto-fixes to compass 🧭 north, instead of the direction you are facing. For example if I am headed west and fading south the map appears “upside down”. I understand if you use the “live navigation” feature the map corrects itself and relays the information based on current facing direction. As one who loves to walk and wants to save battery life on my mobile device, it would be great if the default for “get directions” without navigation feature would load to the direction you are facing so you don’t have to toggle the map when looking at directions.

After the latest google app update, the app keeps crashing 30-60 seconds after I open it. Quite frustrating! Hopefully there’s a new update soon to fix it.

This app use to be so good. It was my go to for cloud files. But for some reason, it glitches out bad when uploading files when you're not on a wifi network. The files get put into a purgatory and never upload. When by chance you do, it sits there and acts like it still is, taking up background resources for no reason. Even when you turn off wifi only uploading, it turns itself back on. I'm using Samsung s23 ultra.

With most home security systems you typically want to be able to see what's going on outside. However, with the subscription that Google Home charges, you get to pay to have the ability to look at loading screens that eventually just tell you "Live View is Unavailable". Plus they had the nerve to up the price but absolutely none of the service. Edit: I can now see live video to my cameras MAYBE 15% of the time. What a waste! Literally useless.
