Google Earth for Negative User Reviews
✓ Update it pleaseWho ever goes around in the car and maps this map out needs to do it again because it is very out dated. Please, please redo the map so that it is current and up to date. Other then that problem it is good the image is great and the street names are always right, so that is good 👍..Version: 9.154
✓ Poor Border VisabilityWhy are all borders so difficult to see? A cynic would call this deliberate..Version: 9.2.45
✓ Outdated and poor interactionI live on the outskirts of a major city and our house has not been updated in about a decade . When I check your schedule it says “ Illawarra area” this year . The “ Illawarra area “ is huge and parts of the illawarra are updated almost every 12 months . Our street isn’t off the beaten track , in fact we are in the fastest growing area of the Illawarra , yet homes in our street which are very well established , some even on their first overhaul renovation since being built are still showing vacant blocks of land on your Google Earth app . Considering many finance companies and tradespeople use your app to do remote quotes and evaluations I find it poor form for you to have our homes looking like they did 10 years ago . I’ve tried leaving comments on your page , I tried reporting issue , I’ve tried everything but you guys just don’t respond or acknowledge my communications . So now it’s just frustrating and has left me of poor opinion of your app . It’s useless to me . I’ve read your forums , following the advice from your superusers just leaves everyone coming back in a big circle to the same result which is , “ sit and wait and hope they’ll be around one day .. OR go out and take a pic and try to upload it ... yeah na , sorry . Maybe when you realise that Kanahooka Australia 2530 is part of Earth then maybe I’ll consider coming back . Even Apple frequent the area more than you ..Version: 9.3.3
✓ Street view way out of dateAs I’m selling my house, I wanted to check what the street view was like as some of the questions from people looking at the area on google earth / street view didn’t add up. This photos of this whole area are about 20 years old. It looks nothing like that now. If you’re going to offer this service you could at least update it every 3 - 5 years, or put dates on the photos so viewers know how accurate it is..Version: 9.3.19
✓ Good but badIt’s a very good app for looking at places around the world that you can’t see but there’s also a down side to it and that is when you search up the Great Wall of China and go in to street view there’s a very inappropriate picture with a man that’s naked and please get rid of that picture but is a very good app over all.Version: 9.150.0
✓ Used to be great...But now its rubbish, apple maps with satellite overlay is way faster with better res and colour! And has all this useless info onscreen now, just give us 2D and my location icons on MAIN SCREEN!.Version: 9.2.15
✓ Their is no street view in IndiaGarbage !!!!.Version: 9.123.0
✓ There is no palestineThere is no Palestine on google earth even if you search by name they don’t show the location properly.Version: 9.175
✓ Slow, very, very slow updates“Okay. Guys we got the data in for the whole world! Now we can sit on our butts for years and years and never have to update it”...said the boss at google earth a decade ago. I know it is free, but I have State Farm road atlases with the picture of a 1953 Buick on the cover that has more up to date maps than Google earth! Those were also free! Their competition is buying new images like crazy and have current maps/terrain. Perhaps GE just isn’t in the game any more and are letting this program wither and die when more folks like me discover it is full of ancient artifacts instead of a current set of images. I’m in the hinterlands of the fly over in the USA...Denver Colorado. Doubt if the GE staff can spell it let alone find it on their own program. The images I deal with are from three to seven YEARS old. Streets, many buildings, power lines, pipelines, public facilities have been built and in place for years in the suburban areas of this city. There are much more current images in Tibet and South America, Do not use this app if you are expecting to get current images. It is poor for that. One feature that might be helpful is to have a streamlined method to report obsolete images, or offer the ability to purchase new images of specific areas if Google cannot afford to update your area of interest..Version: 9.2.15
✓ Poor imageryDownloaded this app as tried Earth a few years ago and it was great. But on downloading this version I found the imagery at street level very poor, almost like cartoon images. Not very clear and very hard to discern the true picture of what you are looking at. Also, looked at an an area I knew to check if it was any better (it wasn’t) and realised that the image was actually from nearly 8 - 10 years old, not very good if you are seeking out new locations. Deleted and unless it improves will not use it again..Version: 9.175
✓ RecyclingWorks for 3 days then doesn’t load anything in. Re downloading it is the only way to fix..Version: 9.2.37
✓ Needs updateThe latest version provides imagery that is at least three years old. We built our home three years and this lstest version still shows our lot as undeveloped. Some history: the USG developedcwhat we now know as Google Earth. When that satellite imagery was declassified the government GAVE the program, dara and all, to Google AT NO COST. Google made its initial fortune on a free gift from Uncle Sam. One would think Google could do a better job updating Google Earth using the massive profits it earned from a free gift from the USG - that is, WE TAXPAYERS gifted this to Google. Don't get me wrong - as a former USG satellite photo analyst I love Google Earth. But Google…please do the right thing re us Tax Payers and update OUR program. Thanks..Version: 9.154
✓ Update neededFor a 5 star rating, how about doing a recent update over the city of Calgary? Your current maps are 4 and possibly 5 years old. A lot has changed since. Thank you..Version: 9.3.3
✓ UpdateGreat app, but instead of adding bug fixes in the updates you could spend your time updating it each year, because I go to places I’ve been to and go “there’s meant to be something there, isn’t there?” Then I go again and I’m like” google earth needs to be updated!” What’s really annoying is seeing a satellite image in summer for one paddock and another in the middle of winter. Please update this way and I will re-download google earth.Version: 9.2.25
✓ Worst loading everI have Google Earth but whenever I go on to it it keeps crashing so I can’t use it any more FIX THIS GOOGLE.Version: 9.2.56
✓ We need a new update as wellCome google what’s wrong with u guys we need a new update now it’s been the same for a while now I wanna see a new update of the land U guys make millions of dollars and can’t even make a simple update on ur maps.Version: 9.134.0
✓ Keeps crashingThe app keeps crashing no matter how many times I delete it and refresh it. Very outdated. Our house hasn’t been updated in over 8 years, satellite image is also at least 2-3 years old which means when I go to use the measure app for upcoming renovations for the exterior, I can’t measure it due to extensions made more than 2 years ago which don’t show..Version: 9.120.0
✓ Looks AwfulI think what this app is doing is really cool with the whole see different places thing which is why I’m giving this 2 stars instead of 1. It looks horrendous, unless you are using street view, everything looks terrible, it looks like someone threw up after eating Taco Bell. And most of the time things you want to view aren’t on the street so you can’t even use street view. In my neighborhood I wanted to look at my school because it was remodeled in 2012 and I started going there in 2013 so I never got to see what it looked like before. My neighborhood pictures were from 2011 so the school wasn’t remodeled yet. So I went and looked and because it’s a school, there was no street view for what I wanted to see. All you could see was the front of the school. So I tried zooming in and low and behold. It looked so terrible. Don’t get this app.Version: 9.3.26
✓ PalestinePalestine exist!!!.Version: 9.134.0
✓ Meh!Fantastic app when it works, especially 3D map rendering and plotting.. .... but constantly crashing, always issues downloading from App Store.Version: 9.3.3
✓ How Do You Drop a Pin?I can’t seem to drop & save a pin on my apple ipad? Are there instructions for using the programme somewhere? Is anybody actually listening or is this all a futile waste of time to make us think that someone’s actually doing something. Somewhere...Version: 9.154
✓ Great App...Has issuesUPDATE: They need to change the timeline so we can see historical dates; only seeing back to 1985 is not historical. Plus, better quality images, so many when zoomed in are still poor quality/blurry. And STOP blocking some images that are not gov’t sensitive. I really enjoy this app. I use it for various things. I wish Google would STOP blocking images that aren’t too secret, it’s annoying and not their place to do so. Also, when I click on some blue spots to view street view, they don’t load, but state “No street view available here. Tap a location highlighted in blue to enter street view.” But that’s what I’d just done. Please fix these..Version: 9.154
✓ Good app but troubleThere is a game Carmen San Diego and I can’t find it on your app but also I am on an iPad 😞😣😔😕.Version: 9.140.2
✓ Desperately needs updated photosI can pull up Google earth on my laptop and see very recent images of my home. And I live in the United States in a well populated area. But when I pull up Google earth on my phone, it shows images from 10 or more years ago. there has been quite a bit of construction in my area over the past 10 to 15 years and none of those buildings, none of those roads, none of that infrastructure is shown on my phone… But I can pull it up on my laptop? This review only gets three stores because the app seems to have been abandoned where it regards updated photos, and images..Version: 9.175
✓ Great app ButYou can’t knock google earth it’s one of the best out there and for a such a large amount of information and earth satellite footage it’s one of the best, but.,… here’s the but, I have never known an app crash as much as this app which is understandable but it’s been going on for well over a year now, all you have to do is delete it and re download it, which is obviously easy but still annoying. Now I don’t mean it crashes all the time but sometimes the app shows the world view but if you scroll in it doesn’t load anything. I see the potential in this app with improved crashing issues to one day having 4K 3D pixel images. I would have put a 4 star, but I hoped this review would help google earth in its crashing issues..Version: 9.150.0
✓ Great except when it goes wrong.I really like using the app. It’s great as a second screen for looking up things like movie locations. However, sometimes it doesn’t download the maps, the screen goes white and it crashes. I always try clearing the cache and history. Sometimes that works, but I usually end up deleting it and reinstalling. That seems to fix it. I’d prefer not to do that and just have an app that works reliably..Version: 9.154
✓ No historical imagery on mobile/web/updated versionsGet your ducks in a row Google, I'm tired of losing features. Historical imagery should have been integrated on mobile devices (any tablet at least) a long time ago..Version: 9.2.14
✓ FIX THIS APPI have had to delete and re install this app like 15 times because sometimes when I open it it’s just a white ball…. Why?.Version: 9.154
✓ DisappointedI am unable to use Earth on Chrome with my iPad. Every time I try I am prompted to download the Earth App. The app is only good for looking around. Even though the app contains some of the most breathtaking pics I’ve ever viewed, it’s not what I need. You should at the very least be able to make lines and be able to differentiate them by color, but nope you can’t even do that. Most people use their laptops, phones or tablets, certainly not desktops-unless they’re at work. I’m completely annoyed at the fact that I can’t continue my “project” at home on my iPad Pro. Now I have to find someone with a desktop or go to work (on my off day) to finish my Google Earth Project..Version: 9.175
✓ After many years, still lacks basic informationThe reason I give this app only 1 star is because Google is a gigantic company, capable of way better, and this product has been around many years and yet still lacks extremely basic functionality ... one such function in particular being the ability to add topographical altitude lines to maps. This is an extremely useful function, it’s one of the oldest mapping functions that exists, it’s been done on printed maps for I don’t know how many decades or centuries, and if one of the biggest tech companies on the planet can’t get that done with ease, then I think their only possible honest excuse is this: “we don’t want to give the general public certain useful information, because this app is not about empowering people, it’s about making money and keeping the public dumbed down and under control”, because no other excuse would make any sense at all, and yet even this excuse makes no sense since you’ve included latitude and longitude, so what possible other excuse could you have? Pull your heads out of your clackers Google, it’s a basic map function and it doesn’t appear to be in any of your products available to the general public, yet you program vastly more complex functions, so why not give us this extremely basic piece of data? How many years do you need to program something this simple? I’m seriously unimpressed. Smartest guys in the room, my ... ... and grrr..Version: 9.140.2
✓ Useless fob offYou screwing with me again Google? Just had a recent update and two street shots are about 5 years apart. I one street, my neices house isn’t even built, but then in the next shot of their move to a new (older) house up the road shows their cars on the drive. How come it’s showing their old house as still being built. I thought updates were supposed to improve the viewing if your app. Seem to me it’s gone backwards. 😡.Version: 9.154
✓ Google earthYou really need to update this more often with the changes that happen regularly.Version: 9.2.46
✓ Will not load/openUsing an iPad Pro google earth is stuck on the welcome screen and does not go any further. Clicked on the app support tab in the App Store and it takes you to a help forum for windows google earth Pro help. Useless for apple products. Really a shame googles so disorganized or just doesn’t care about low revenue users UPDATE: several hours later the app loaded as expected. Program ran fine, would be nice to have current or near current maps and photos, most data I saw was more than 3 yrs old. I’m thinking the startup/loading issue was not an app problem but a temporary google server issue they resolved. Still no troubleshooting info for Apple mobile users (at least none I could find) even with the issues, Google Earth is the best (free) global mapping app money can buy for the iPhone/iPad..Version: 9.3.18
✓ Help.Usually works fine. But suddenly the earth is blurred and street view is refusing to work?.Version: 9.2.29
✓ 3D wasn’t greatWouldn’t exactly call it 3D but it was really cool other wise.Version: 9.2.37
✓ Does this app cost?Does this cost? $49 just came out of my account n I can’t find where from.Version: 9.154
✓ Out of dateThe satellite image of our town is 5 years out of date. The street view about the same. I don’t expect that you would go to the expense of updating street views often but at least you could pull the latest satellite images. Makes it very hard to view a place you may be going to visit only to find the actual area has been dramatically changed. Sort of makes the app useless???.Version: 9.154
✓ OkYou really need an update! I can see a car in front of my mom and dads house that they haven’t had for years! And picture quality isn’t very good.Version: 9.3.26
✓ It’s 2021 update the appWay too outdated.Version: 9.134.0
✓ Update !!!!Quebec needs to be updated. Moved to Cowansville QC two years ago and we are still living in a huge sandpit, how disappointing !.Version: 9.2.49
✓ Please update your satellite imagesI really like most of the features on this app. I really do. I think being able to measure from one place to another is wonderful. I think street view was a phenomenal idea. My major problem however has got to be the old satellite imagery. Some of the images used for street view are very old. I swear I found one that dated back to 2009. And most of the environment has changed making the old street view useless and incorrect. I lived in an area where they did construction and made new houses by them 3-4 years ago. Those houses are still yet to appear on the satellite imagery. Which really bugs me..Version: 9.140.1
✓ The recent changesWhat do all those misted-over pale blue rectangles mean? Can I opt out of them? They are VERY annoying as they obscure parts of the map I’m trying to look at. Also, why is the font size of the labels so tiny, and is there any way to increase them. My eyesight is not the best and I have a hard time reading the labels. I really preferred the old version and would go back to it if I could. A definite “downgrade”!.Version: 10.42.1
✓ TERRIBLE SINCE UPDATE Oct 2023I’ve been using GE for many of years ever since it began, it was my go to app every time for anything map related as I use street view and satellite view almost every day for my work. Google what have you done, you’ve destroyed it, it takes ages to load whenever you click on it to use it, enter an address and 9 times out of 10 it just stops working, the crazy project pop up box I think is causing the problems because that is continuously loading, TERRIBLE is an understatement for this once brilliant App, I would say that I would of voted this the most and best used app on my IPad Pro with the M1 chip it should be loading super fast. GOOGLE PLEASE CHANGE IT BACK, I’m deleting until things get better..Version: 10.38.3
✓ Sidetracking fix?Whenever I try to open Google Earth in the browser so I can add places to my projects, because for some reason you can’t do that in the app, it redirects me to the app, and I can’t go into the browser website. Please fix this issue, from Sam..Version: 9.175
✓ Why did you create a horrible new update?I used to love this app as it was very similar to the pc version and easy to control. I'd give it 5 stars. But seriously what were you thinking with this new update? You've ruined the app and made it nearly impossible to control. Switch it back to the older version if you ever wish to get 5 stars..Version: 9.0.79
✓ Winter photos?The winter photography of central and northern Ontario make this app useless!.Version: 9.3.24
✓ Great, but a few issuesGenerally works well, but seems to hit some kind of ceiling a lot where it drops to low resolution views of areas you might have viewed in a higher resolution moments before..Version: 9.175
✓ Nothing but bugs nowadaysThis app means a lot to me. It lets me explore the world in a way that isn’t possible for me in real life, allowing me to zoom in and experience places all over the world which I may never get to visit in person. I’ve spent hours just scrolling around the planet, tracing meandering rivers and gliding over mountain ranges. It has made me see our planet in a whole new light, opening my eyes to all the beauty that it holds. However, as of late this app has been nothing but glitches and bugs. Every single time I open the app something goes wrong. Either the image quality will be so bad that the entire globe looks pixely even when fully zoomed out, or whole chunks of it will be black, or else it won’t display any locations or any other labeling. I can’t go for more than a half hour without something glitching out, and so far there seems to be no acknowledgement of these issues from Google. It’s unfortunate that Google is seemingly neglecting such a great app. I think it could be a great educational tool for people of any age group, but its potential is being squandered..Version: 9.153.0
✓ MwhI keyed into have a look at the Google map as you I was saying was of at least 10 years ago it’s not really up-to-date the grass is grown out the trees are bigger than the view I was looking for it is all green grass now it’s a shame with your technology today that we don’t have a more up-to-date view of what is happening I enjoy using Google maps from MWH.Version: 9.132.0
✓ Timetravel feature needed + ocean mapI really like google Earth, but I would love to see a time travel feature where you can see what has changed over the decades: buildings, roads, environment, etc. Also, I think the next step should definitely be mapping the oceans; you will have work for centuries, honestly. Lastly, I want to see higher resolution imaging. One thing that I currently like is the 3D feature especially when you first tap it and the camera does a cyclical camera pan; that's awesome! Although, I would like this to be available from multiple zoom levels. Also, how about quick-zoom level buttons: 1x, 2, 5x, 10x or altitude ranges. Google + Wikipedia would make a powerful resource for information ;).Version: 9.2.25
✓ Won’t load fully since updateSaid this when the app updated and I’ll say it again- the new update has made the app almost impossible to fully load. It constantly shows maps/streets as loading. It never goes to 100% and the streets/maps won’t load. This issue has only started since the last update and has nothing to do with internet connection. If this doesn’t get resolved I’ll be removing the app because it’s now unusable.Version: 10.38.2
✓ Very good, BUT FELT HORRIFIED AFTER SEEING THIS….As I was exploring Japan’s absolutely beautiful Mountain Fuji, I saw something extremely strange that I have never seen on Google earth before. I saw a shadow of a car shape, with a semi circle on the top of the car. I turned my camera around, trying to see if I see a car with a semi circle on top. I didn’t. I pressed on the arrow button to go forward, it was still there. My fear started growing bigger. I pressed the arrow button two more times, just in case it went away, but the semi circle had turned into a creepy head with pigtails. A car with a creepy head that had pigtails on it. I was extremely scared and I deleted the app straight away. It was so scary. Please fix this horrible, creepy glitch..Version: 9.175
✓ Update!!!!Northern Alberta Canada needs to be updated!!!!.Version: 9.2.45
✓ 0 star0 star , why you put bad pictures for Gaza in Phalastain, you are Biased to Israel, 🇵🇸🇾🇪.Version: 9.134.0
✓ Pretty goodYou guys need a new update of the earth it’s all old we got new stuff now and stuff changed.Version: 9.2.25
✓ Creepy glitch... please fixSo after having this app for a month and using it for going places or random places I decided to check my old school and high school when checking one of the schools I was looking at a van so I looked at the car behind so I zoomed into the car and the driver the drivers face looked weird so I zoomed out and looked away as soon as I did it forced me to zoom back in I got scared deleted the app couple minutes later I check I have deleted it (I did) but when I saw it. IT WAS STILL THERE.. I powered of my phone made sure I deleted it it was gone I still can’t find the app again I’m writing this on my iPad.. still traumatised never downloading again yeah no don’t recommend besides from that I’d say pretty good but please fix this “glitch or bug” please don't download I say if you’re checking out cars..Version: 9.146.0
✓ To Busy to understand Not user friendlyFor a traveler it shows way to much information and distracts you from using it like a map. That is to get around. I would turn off everything. I do not need to know where every gas station is or food store. I can get that from searching on Google Search. This way will not clutter up your screen. The map itself is good, except when you need to find a location. It will show you everything. This is good to use at night alone when thinking of where you want to go and what to see. But using it on the go is really aggravating. Use the map in Google Search for directions. But use Google Earth for a wide over view..Version: 9.154
✓ Absolute garbageSlow and extremely old view of the street. Huge difference between the desktop and mobile versions. This is pure garbage.Version: 9.3.7
✓ No stars if I couldWhat total s••t this app is unusable on my iPhone it doesnot zoom in all I have is a hazy green screen is does absoloutly nothing total crap don't bother upgrading what a disgrace from a company like google. Who the hell sanctioned releasing something that does not work Nothing's changed with new version if anything it's worse I'm considering deleting, street view is useless. Still worth less than one star. Your satellite views of Broadway North Walsall are at least 2 years out of date. You still have the park tavern standing this had been knocked down for two years and retirement apartments built take a look at your google maps. So the infernal programmers have struck again to make a app even worse. Why do we have to have the infernal white box with pictures in it we don’t want. At least give us the option to turn the bloody thing off. What it it with programmers that the pay alway think they know best and think they know what we want. Get rid of the Dam pop up white box..Version: 10.38.2
✓ Out of Focus GarbageI can’t express my disappointment enough!! I’m rating this one star because there is no zero to pick. Today’s Google Earth is a former shadow of itself in terms of image quality and resolution. I was a huge fan of the application a decade ago, but had not used it in quite a while. I just got a new iPad and installed it to take a nostalgic walk down memory lane, and I almost threw up. Most apps make an effort to improve over time, but this one has managed to regress. It has become a piece of out-of-focus garbage. I was so looking forward to visually traveling to another part of the world while we are under COVID restrictions and flying over a city and its streets I once knew so well, but all I found was a distorted mess compared to my former virtual visits. The graphics of streets and buildings are a bad cubic Minecraft experience. Can you use the app for middle school geography? Yes. But for really studying topography and detail? Don’t waste your time. Google Earth has lost its mojo in a major way..Version: 9.132.0
✓ Some street views well out of dateI use this app a lot when we want to check out, say, a holiday property to rent or to check what a route looks like, how to recognise turnings etc. and whilst the satellite view is up to date, the street view in some cases is well out. Trouble is, there is no indication of how old a street view is, so you don’t know whether it is accurate or not. Satellite views can be obtained from any number of apps, it is the street view that is so useful with this one, but having discovered how patchy the updates are, I have lost confidence in it. Come on Google, at least have the decency to put a proper date in the street views, so we know how accurate they are likely to be!.Version: 9.3.7
✓ Too much editing of world by GoogleMany cars removed from streets and parking lots, advertising placed on trucks and other advertising deleted - we see only what Google puts on them…and where did all the people go??? Doesn't anyone notice that Google edits all the “photographs” from space to delete certain material they deem offensive? Why is the handicap rail by my sidewalk offensive; yes it was deleted - the bush was planted after the rail and it is there (and one side of the rail is evident (they were both put in the same day and after the bush.). And I know the truck in one parking lot, and that is not what the ad says on it…and yes, that is the truck - it has an assigned space. I know Google makes a lot of money, and needs more - but shouldn’t there be a warning that this product is “for entertainment only” and that photographs have been altered..Version: 9.153.0
✓ Needs lots of workGoogle Earth needs to be debugged. I can’t tell you how annoying it is when the find my location button doesn’t work. It displays my location from when I opened the app and will not update my location when I press the button. Plus, it is an absolute huge battery hog. I dropped from 40% to 5% in 10 minutes. Not even! Also, the map, even when on WiFi and LTE, still requires 30-45 seconds for the street view to buffer. Now, a recommendation for you is that it should also set it up so that it syncs with maps so that all your places from google maps, are visible on google earth. Overall though, very powerful application and it just barely gets the job done. If your going to publish an app, do it right. These bugs have been here for a months. At the time, I had hoped that there was an update to fix it. Still waiting for that update!!!.Version: 9.2.49
✓ Review RatingNot very user friendly. Doesn’t always send you to the exact address..Version: 9.2.29
✓ Works okayCan’t figure out how to do measurements, pc version has so much more and easier to use.Version: 9.2.14
✓ App on iPhoneI am finding this really frustrating to use. I search for an address, then when I zoom in, the view jumps around and away from the target, especially if I move the phone..Version: 7.1.1
✓ Downloaded this app after about 5 yearsSo I deleted this app about 5 years ago as it just kept crashing when you zoom in or go onto street view ect. Downloaded it today after updates have been released since then only to find out it still crashes like it’s no different. Jesus it’s been 5 years and the app is no different why is it taking so long to stop the crashing and stuff?.Version: 9.153.0
✓ Google earthSo google earth isn’t the worst game but is definitely not the best game! It needs a big update or something, but I do like how this app contains many ways how to look at something. But it does get a little old after awhile. I am not certain if there is a way to see everything that’s is new, because when I went to look at something it looked completely different when I went to it. SO MAYBE UPDATE IT!!!!.Version: 9.153.0
✓ Really creepy glitch…So I was casually looking around Japan because I was going there for my holiday. I got to Tokyo and I zoomed up on it. Suddenly I saw a black van. When I went inside there was a creepy smile face and a picture of Jeff the killer. I tried to zoom out but then a message came up on my screen saying DONT LEAVE NOW, THERE IS SO MUCH TO SEE! I deleted the app and I am so glad I did! I saw more of these reviews and I hope Google fixes this..Version: 9.175
✓ Update pleaseI would like a update of 2022 please because i wanna buy a big piece of land and see what i will have on my land.Version: 9.154
✓ PLEASE READ BEFORE GETTING APPOne line: Don’t get it. It’s alright, until you find that when you zoom out there are patches of the literal earth missing. Then you try to zoom in somewhere to try and look at a road, maybe, then find out that it is so blurry you can’t even make out a jet plane if it was parked where you were looking. I get that satellite images aren’t the greatest, but come on. You can do better than that!.Version: 9.154
✓ I like itI do like the app but there are some downsides. It is difficult to navigate and sometimes you don’t get the perspective points that you want, but over all very helpful!!.Version: 9.2.25
✓ Fix the time differencesI’ve always LOVED this app. Being able to explore places I’ve always wanted to go without having to get off the couch. But, I’ve noticed a problem and to be completely honest I can’t seem to find a reason why the people in charge can’t or won’t fix these problems. First problem is the blurred areas. Certain places I’ve looked at in the past were completely clear and I was always able to zoom in almost to the point of being able to read street signs. Now y’all have started blurring our a LOT of different details and to be honest it makes the app a lot less appealing and more useless than useful. Problem #2. The seasonal overlapping... now this happens on my GPS when I use it with satellite overlay. BUT, once I’ve zoomed in to a certain point it all clears up and the picture is as it should be according to the season. I’m a HUGE history fanatic so I’m constantly looking for ruins and remnants of the past in places most people can easily get to. But when I start noticing that the picture refuses to clear up and focus and the fine and important details are now blurred. It makes me ask why. Which also causes me to look for answers. Which has also given me no other choice but to contact certain people to hack into certain satellites so I can get the answers i need. 🙃.Version: 9.3.26
✓ Would definitely give 5 stars if this was updated regularlyThis used to be an amazing program which was updated regularly but seems like it doesn’t get updated at all definitely worth downloading but just needs to be updated at least once a year not once every 5 years happy to give 5 stars when this app and satellites pictures are updated.Version: 9.2.25
✓ Update images!Come on....these images are old! We put a pool in 3-4 years ago and cleared our property - but according to Google Earth, nope..Version: 9.2.37

✓ Desperately needs an update with better features.Decent, but is lacking major useful features such as; • Save Pinned Location, that you can custom label • User Guide! Explaining each and every function! -From the upper right hand symbols (domino, measurement, etc.). -What each icon over buildings mean (speaking of; there is an error when tapping the icon to get information. A ‘no internet connection’ pops up. Maybe it’s not an error but lack of info on that place?) -In addition to the icon explanation; add the colour of it. Ex: the fork & spoon being orange, dot being grey, shopping bag being blue, etc. I ask that you PLEASE keep these suggestions in mind. I’m not sure if updates still occur or if the app is still being monitored by the creators. I implore these features to be made at some point. I believe it’ll boost the ratings this app gets. That said! Do not rush to get the updates done and out immediately, otherwise a major bug/error may happen. Take time and update at your speed. One at a time or as a bundle. Pardon the wall of text and if I seemed commanding, it was not at all my intention! Just my own thoughts and opinion. Thank you for reading. Sincerely; Anastasia |aka| Haka.Version: 9.2.37
✓ Detail Update PleaseIve been a fan of google earth for a long time now. I recall that the first images used to allow the bottom of the ocean exploration with a smooth transition from land to sea. With the new updates and imagery, a lot of detail has been removed. I used to remember looking at land masses and seeing the trees and roads but the current images are now blurry blobs. Also the area surrounding and encompassing Antarctica is severely pathetic. We the people want the details and the Truth. Why is it that there are photoshop cuts and cloud clips, that are covering up detail of the landscape? Please fire the photoshop team and tell it like it is. What good is exploring the planet in virtual format if all you get is blurred images to hide those detail? I don’t use Google Earth much any more because it is a joke now. It makes me sad that all the big corporations want to keep people in the dark, never sharing what they find. Who are you to make that judgment on all of the population. What gives you the rite to hide valuable discoveries from us? And why? It just makes me sad that you were not raised with the truth and so you find ways to cover it up :(.Version: 9.3.3
✓ Not Even Basic App Comforts (2020 iPad Pro)It takes a lot of disappointment for me to write reviews but this app is just so flat. It’s like they took what they were in the process of developing years ago and just threw it up without even looking at it for a quick review. I am terrible at geography and thought this would help me with a class I’m taking but I was mistaken. You can’t adjust any type of visual settings so if you zoom too far in on, say, China, you get a million different location names in English and Chinese and you can’t even see the land under all the text. Also, it would be really enjoyable (and easier on my old lady eyes) to be able to make borders bold or different colors or even cut out a region to view it individually. It is absolutely impossible to tell one country/state from the next with the impossibly thin tan line separating everything that, oh yea, is the same color that is used for most of the landscape. What a mess. Overall really great concept but what I’m gathering from other reviews, the app particularly for iPad is super low quality compared to others. I now know that if I had a desktop I’d be able to look at the moon and mars so I feel really gypped now. And yes, even though I didn’t pay anything I still feel shortchanged..Version: 9.3.19
✓ Something creepy in the appI searched cartoon cat then I saw the place not the picture then I searched cartoon dog then I saw the picture even the place.Version: 9.120.0
✓ GreatTo see what happened 3-4 yrs. ago🤦♂️.Version: 9.3.26
✓ Very very very slow loadingIf Google earth App gets any slower , I could go to the place I’m looking at and be back before google earth finishes loading the map , and before you say it’s the internet speed its -150Mbit/sec (also this is a M1 iPad Pro it should not take 10 minutes to load a area view, or another 10 minutes to load the map if you zoom in by a tiny bit , literally waiting 30 minutes just to see a part of the city ..Version: 9.175
✓ False informationDo not falsify geography ... its name is Palestine, not Israel. This application telling false geographic information.Version: 9.134.0
✓ Google earth needs to have an update!Google earth is a great app but it hasn’t been updated in about 10, 15 years. Since my house was built around 5 years ago and I’m not able to show my friends so they can find it when they visit. You also can’t go off of the roads anymore like you used to so. Google earth please update this app! -Kalea.Version: 9.140.1
✓ Let us pin drop in the appLove the app and the views/and images it gives big when we will be able to add pins in the phone app??.Version: 9.150.0
✓ Good on a desktop, bad on mobileI love using google earth to explore the world from the comfort of home so I can get an idea of which countries I want to add to my bucket list of places to visit, and the desktop version is perfect for that. But the mobile version is not very touch accurate. If two places are close together, they tend to overlap on the screen. And you tap on one to see photos of it or read about it, it inevitably thinks you’re tapping on the other no matter how much you try to angle your finger toward the place you’re actually trying to see. Which is extremely frustrating. You need the precision of a mouse curser for any sort of enjoyable experience on this application because it optimized well for a mobile, touchscreen experience..Version: 9.3.23
