### 3/5 — Sad.

*2020-07-28, version 7.0.1*

It absolutely upsets me that situation had reached to a point where Google+ had to be shut down. I wouldn’t even be so upset if Facebook had shut down to be honest. Google+ was this place where I went when i felt like revisiting that 17/18 year old me, cause that’s the age i had gotten my first smartphone. I thought it would be there whenever i want to go there again. But sadly I receive the most shocking news today. This pandemic finally gave me time and this is what i come across. A little heartbroken to be honest.

### 5/5 — In all honesty

*2020-07-17, version 7.0.1*

I feel like it’s good that google plus ended up shutting down and this app no longer works. Majority of the app was either filled with edgy trolls or weird/toxic people. Even though I did have some fun in the app when I was in middle school I feel like the communities and people I met on there made me a worse person over time and found our fun by tearing other things down. Even though we were all pieces of garbage at the time I wish everyone on there the best.

### 5/5 — PLEASE BRING IT BACK!

*2019-10-11, version 6.61.0*

Can you guys please bring this back? This app is all I think about, whenever, I see a update I immediately get happy because I think it’s coming back, but I soon, get sad when I know it’s dead . Just please try again with this app, to me it wasn’t all that bad. I still love this app and forever will love it. JUST PLEASE BRING IT BACK! I keep seeing these updates, and don’t understand why if the app is dead why keep updating it? Unless you’re about to bring it back to life 0.0, I sure hope you do.

### 2/5 — Precision Spine and Pain Management

*2019-09-05, version 6.59.2*

I went to Dr. Borshch at the urging of my Primary Care Doc at the time.  I am a person who reads Reviews, so everything I read about this Doctor told me that he was someone who actually interacted with his Patients and listened to their concerns...  what I got was just the opposite!  I saw his P.A. Emilie and honestly it wasn’t UNTIL my last visit that she seemed to genuinely care about me as a person.  She LISTENED TO ME and seemed to truly understand my situation.  Dr. Borshch wouldn’t take 5-10 minutes to even speak with me!!!  He simply refused to even consider helping me even by giving me Pain Medication for the next 30 days till I could find a new Doctor.  I have Severe Fibromyalgia and to leave me or ANY patient to suffer like I have been for the past few weeks is unconscionable!!  THIS is NOT what a Doctor who cares about Pain Management is supposed to be about!

### 5/5 — Why?

*2019-04-25, version 6.55.0*

I had this app when I was 2. It was just baby me doing whatever baby’s do. I have so many memories with this app. Even though it was not as good as Facebook or Twitter but was good enough. This is the end of what really was not a good social media platform but it has all my pictures and stuff and I do miss it but not as much as I would with Twitter or Facebook. If you are surprised that an 11 year old is sad that google+ is gone, don’t be.

### 1/5 — A Testament To Corporate Greed

*2019-04-06, version 6.55.0*

As of Google Plus’s shutdown for consumers, this app can only be described as USELESS. It provides no new features to organizations that other applications don’t already do better, with an unnecessary price tag and countless hoops to jump through simply to set it up. It has absolutely nothing to separate it from it’s competitors, even from OTHER GOOGLE PRODUCTS. Why go through the work and payment of setting up a new application for your entire organization when you can simply continue to use Gmail?
All in all, this can only be described as a waste of money. It seems in this day and age, even Google has fallen victim to the overwhelming corporate greed destroying consumer-friendly businesses and nursing mediocrity...

### 4/5 — 5 stars in heart

*2019-04-05, version 6.55.0*

I’m sad to see this app/site go. I’ve used it over four years and loved it the whole time. I still try to check google + a few times a day only to realize, I’m not getting it back. My friends, people I considered family and besties, I lost many now because of the closing of this place. 
Google + has always been a place for me to express myself and allowed me to be who I am and who I want to be. I loved the organization it had between the communities, collections, circles, and post, even the fact that you could go back to the posts that you had liked or commented on. Another app won’t be the same as the place I have called home for so long. You will be missed G+. Signing off, a personal consumer.

### 5/5 — Press F to pay respects

*2019-04-02, version 6.54.0*

The best social media there was. But it’s gone now. Google is horrible and killing us off. We’ve been here for years, and we’re just being kicked out of our home. I’m saying this April 2, 2019. This is the endgame. Mr. Jingles, I’ll miss you most of all. I guess I just wanted to post a goodbye where it would actually stay. I don’t want to see you go but it’s not forever and even if it was you know that I would never let it bring me down. You’re the part of me that makes me better wherever I go. I’ll try not to cry, but I guess this is goodbye.

### 2/5 — Google Screwed Up on this

*2019-03-26, version 6.54.0*

Hard to believe that a big company like Google could screw up so bad.  They had all of the possibilities of Twitter, Instagram and Facebook combined.  This buggy app never came up to it’s potential.
Prior Review:
Clunky & Random Access & Crash:
Hard to talk about the app without comparing Google+ with other social media.  Basically if your attention span is stretched to the limit when you're on Twitter, can't limit your drivel to 140 characters, and can't conceive of searching for or organizing anything:  This is for you!  Can't give it 1 star for sucking, can't give it 5 stars for being amazing, so we're in the middle at 3 stars!  Enjoy, it will crash on you, too!

### 5/5 — Goodbye Google+
