Pointless

Grow up Google! Release updates when warranted and stop wasting everyone’s time… once a week updates are just boring and pointless, otherwise get some new developers because your current ones are clearly not very good.

Unusable

Money hungry, ad-infested trash. You’ll still use it because you have to anyway.

Review

I really like the app , it gives real people to see the world around them but I feel like some shorts, videos etc is for 17 and above so the restrictions maybe so the app can see what a viewer watches maybe do a face scan. Otherwise it’s fantastic
