What users say about Google
From the 50 most recent App Store reviews in the US.
Users report a critical bug from the latest update that prevents typing in the search bar, often displaying a frozen logo or blank screen instead. While some praise the app's general utility and AI features, many are frustrated by broken functionality, intrusive clickbait, and forced AI interactions.
Mixed but leaning positive (56% of recent reviews give 4–5 stars). People like it for being easy to use. The main complaints are about recent updates, and crashes and bugs. Recent reviews are more negative than earlier ones.
