### 3/5 — Misleading purpose

*2026-06-07, version 3.5.1*

The app works perfectly fine but just beware the app description. The app doesn’t allow you manage what you and I would  consider “Google Workspace or Google services” as a whole. It only allows management of users and group membership . Any of the actual Google Services (mail, storage, groups, etc) are not available to be admin’s through this app.

### 2/5 — Pretty useless if you want to manage billing on the fly

*2026-03-03, version 3.5.1*

Hopefully in a future update they could integrated billing management in-app

### 1/5 — Interface Sucks

*2026-02-01, version 3.5.1*

The interface is extremely poorly designed very amateur and difficult to navigate. Even for such a minimal tool, the UI is cluttered, unintuitive, and frustrating to use. For an admin product, usability should be a priority, and unfortunately this completely misses the mark.

### 1/5 — Extremely limited

*2026-01-28, version 3.5.1*

This app lets you do almost nothing.  It’s a bare skeleton.  You have to use the computer to make any real changes to Workspace features.  Why did they make this app, is this an intern project?

### 1/5 — Abandoned by Google

*2026-01-12, version 3.5.1*

This app has been abandoned by the developer.
The admin website is not friendly on mobile devices, and this app does little other than reset user account passwords. It should just be unlisted at this point.

### 1/5 — What is the point.

*2025-12-12, version 3.5.1*

This app only lets you add and subtract users, change passwords, and manage group subscribers. Um, really?

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-12-08, version 3.5.1*

You can only reset passwords and no other settings are available. should not have the same title as the computer app

### 1/5 — Glorified directory

*2025-10-05, version 3.5.1*

What a joke of an “app”

### 1/5 — I can’t believe this is a Google app

*2025-09-22, version 3.5.1*

Can you put one of your 10,000 engineers or 1 billion of your $2 trillion into making this app useful for your paying customers? This is crazy.

### 1/5 — No longer supported?

*2025-09-08, version 3.5.1*

This app doesn't show up among the Google apps in the iOS App Store (at least for 2 of us). You have to search for it to find it. Upon opening the app, I'm immediately confronted by an error: "You are not authorized to perform this operation. Please reauthenticate and try again." 

I cannot find any answers online about this specific issue and it's unclear whether or not the app is supported.

### 1/5 — Pointless

*2025-09-07, version 3.5.1*

What is the point of this app? 

There is nothing it can do. Why would google not make a better app? 

It does nothing

### 1/5 — Won’t let me log in

*2025-08-11, version 3.5.1*

How hard is this supposed to be. Cmon google. Don’t be evil.

### 1/5 — Rip off

*2025-07-30, version 3.5.1*

Due to lack server “connectivity “Mistakenly renewed my Email business starter Subscription, tried to cancel immediately.
They are saying you have to pay the full yearly amount and cancel after that.
I had only less than a minute in the new year commitment period.
Its was a server connection issue.
It’s just rip off avoid them at all cost.

### 1/5 — Need a lot of improvements

*2025-07-07, version 3.5.1*

GOOG Spend some money on this app, it’s worth it.

### 1/5 — Subscriptions

*2025-07-05, version 3.5.1*

Why is it impossible to cancel subscriptions!? It feels like a scam. I have canceled my account, the company I set this up for no longer exists, yet for the last 1 year I continue to be auto-charged monthly for a product I no longer need or use. It has been impossible to stop them from charging me - essentially stealing from me. I am at a loss. This is without a doubt the worst experience ever. Thieves!

### 1/5 — Generally useless

*2025-06-27, version 3.5.1*

This app provides little to no useful admin features. You’re FAR better off just using the browser portal, despite it sucking on a mobile device.

### 1/5 — security

*2025-06-26*

This App is somehow linked to my Google Meet App and I dont have a workspace Account and my Google Meet Account shouldnt be set up for Meetings nor group meetings at all. Im NOT no Admin none of that so please tell me why this is showing up as a Workspace account on my Google meet account plus NONE of google service are showing up in my Account only 2 so how will I know that this App is actually from Google?

### 1/5 — Google User Admin

*2025-06-11, version 3.5.1*

This app only lets you manage google workspace users and user permissions only and nothing else. It’s false advertising.  Not a full workspace admin app.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Utterly useless

*2026-07-07, version 3.5.1*

Save yourself the headache. Just go the the website. Or better yet, ditch Google altogether.

### 1/5 — Completely broken

*2026-06-30, version 3.5.1*

I cannot even do the most basic of things in this application. It is obvious that Google has dropped this like most things they put out.

### 1/5 — No updates for 1+ years

*2026-05-27, version 3.5.1*

Don’t bother

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2026-05-16, version 3.5.1*

This app does not work, shame on google

### 1/5 — No

*2026-04-11, version 3.5.1*

This all truly does nothing.

### 1/5 — No functionality

*2026-04-10, version 3.5.1*

This would be great if it was anything other than a directory.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-03-31, version 3.5.1*

I don’t usually write app reviews, this is pretty useless. Need to check new user authorization of a new device, can’t. Need to edit user permission can’t. Need check billing can’t.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-03-11, version 3.5.1*

Basically has no features.  What a waste of an app.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-03-02, version 3.5.1*

App barely had any features. Cancelled my plan on the Google workspace and also deleted all my domain emails but still charging my card for my non existent subscription. Tried to contact support but there is NO support available, you have to login to access support and my login is not valid anymore.

### 1/5 — Very limited app

*2026-02-28, version 3.5.1*

Is this a joke? Apart from user management you can’t do anything else. A multibillion company and can’t create a proper admin app.

Working well for me, no issues.

### 5/5 — Great way to manage a nonprofit

*2024-12-23, version 3.5.1*

I’m glad Admin exists so I can manage my Nonprofit directory from mobile. It saves me pulling my laptop out everytime there is an issue

### 5/5 — It works again!!

*2024-10-24, version 3.5.1*

*2024-09-27, version 3.5*

Not working on iphone iOS 18.1 or later

### 5/5 — Why

*2020-09-26, version 3.3.3*

Why does not it have all the options that the website has? Please add domain management and some more features.

### 5/5 — Great app, It literally saved my company.

*2020-05-30, version 3.3.3*

It is so good.

### 5/5 — Easy enough to use, great for helping forgetful employees

*2018-05-09, version 3.3.0*

This comes in handy when I’m on the go and one of our employees forgets their password. That’s pretty much all I use it for - and it happens a lot.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2017-11-17, version 3.2.0*

I have used Google Admin with my G-Suite account for about a year. It has always been reliable. Yes, there could be some extra features but I still love this app!
