User reviews

Its maps

Great maps but terrible layout of controls. Especially the placement of my location icon. Why put it in the same location on the screen that you finger sits over the most amount of time.
Do better.

stop taking me to your app

its annoying

Odd misalignment of dropped pin

The usually excellent Google maps seems to have a problem on my iPad Pro 3rd Gen. If I press on a location, it drops a pin about 2-3 inches to the right of where I’ve pressed. My iPad’s touchscreen works perfectly accurately with other apps, and used to be OK with Google Maps. The iOS version is fine on my iPhone 17 Pro Max.

I wonder what happened

This app used to be great. My go to. Now? A far cry from what it once was. Reviews are not predictive of quality. The search surfaces things you didn’t look for. And it zooms out by itself. Started liking corner more. Wanna find good places? Corner!

Feedback form is broken

Why give me menu options and the option to shake the app to give feedback and have the form be uselessly crammed at the bottom so you can't type or speak any feedback. Form is utterly broken. So many little things could be improved.
