Nice view of the world with a touch of a button
May 6, 2020 Really enjoy this app. Sometimes I just click on random places just to explore what certain places look like that I will probably never get to go. However I’ve noticed that sometimes an address doesn’t load and or it’s very slow and sits and buffers. I wish google would also update the maps. Before vacation, going to a new restaurant, going over to someones house for the first time, I like to look the place up to get an idea of routes. A lot are out of date. I guess it’s not this app’s purpose but I like using this to get a good idea of where I’m going. My address/ neighborhood for example is from 2007. I know it’s from then because my house and the neighborhood was built in 2007. It’s changed a lot since then and the picture is not clear. The aerial view is also different to the street view on some maps. Not the end of the world just wish it was updated. Since they have to drive to create the maps it probably takes awhile. I guess.more -
Nov 23, 2020 Oh my god this is definitely one of my favorite apps, i just love playing around with this and going to all these locations. I find this app as a really fun game! Even if you dont agree its a game. I really do like the pc version better of google earth but it is really great. If you have a pc though definitely get it on there. But if you love exploring and having a great time definitely check out this game.🌎more -
Nice need a few Stuff tho
Jun 11, 2020 You see I like google earth and all but they need to have 3D at big cities like Moscow or Shanghai. What’s wrong with them? New York City is a big place but is less populated then the ones I mention. Also why are you covering some spots in the North and South Pole. In Greenland you can barely see a thing. In Siberia (which is in Russia of course) you can see trees and stuff but some stuff are blurry! Why??? I’m not saying ur keeping a secret from us but that’s pretty suspicious. You really need to change that. But really you should! Also one more thing. Why do you want to know where we live? That’s really creepy! I mean really creepy!!! I don’t want no one to know where I live (except my relatives of course). But no one else unless there my friends. That’s just really creepy dude! You should really change that! And you should do that before hackers know where you live and start doing bad stuff to you. I love this app and all but you should change stuff. Anyways I hope you change everything bad and have a good day. Bye!more -
Detail Update Please
Nov 30, 2019 Ive 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 :(more -
Nov 19, 2020 Well I'd have to say that they are really updated on the environment, although the images are not like a thousand and eighty pixels so what, as far as you'd see the road, the junctions and landmarks to where you're going then that's awesome. I leave them with a 4 star rating.more

Nov 15, 2020 Just like many other ppl have said, I also use GE as my go to map. Whether its to go on a virtual vaca to a random island in the middle of the ocean or just to take a "stroll" in my neck of the woods, its always been my favorite interactive map. But I'm afraid thats all about to change if you guys don't fix the crashing prob that I've been experiencing & among many other people have as well. First I thought maybe my space was low, so I went through some old apps & uninstalled them. But, no dice!more -
Nov 25, 2020 This app is mean, it wont let you see things it is all ready. So the update made it less perfect. And it glitches to make you see that traffic lights are not there yet. IT LIKES TO CRASH WITH MORE ELECTRONICS NOW!!!! PLEASE UPDATE IT!!!!!!! they have to update the traffic lights, so the living space store can be theremore -
Slow, very, very slow updates
Apr 23, 2018 “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.more -
Nov 25, 2020 Still a light years away in updating to what it should be..... still showing satellite pictures from 15 years ago.... Looking at other images I wish I upload an image of my street, but I cannot..more -
Nov 18, 2020 Looked good at first but between the search function returning an error message half the time and the fact that the whole app just randomly crashes every few minutes it's not worth bothering with quite frankly. Uninstalled.more

Nov 13, 2020 This app was useful but I won't be using this app very oftenly. It's great and fun but has some minor issues like for instance, how long it loads and how old it is. I will give this 5 star because it's made by google. Thanks for the app. You just press read moremore -
Need a laugh? read me!
Sep 30, 2020 While I was in HS about 15 years ago (before there was a live earth feed). I told my friend in computer class that Google Earth was live. I told her to go outside and wave to the sky and I would wave back, being the small charter school for arts that it was with only about 250 kinds in 9-12 combined it was small enough for me to be able to get away with locking her out..... Of, the entire school. About a solid 40 minutes later she comes into class looking like she has been threw the mill hair everywhere, sweating, panting you name it. I don’t remember how she got in, but what I do remember this is a cherished memory. Especially the lab teachers face when she explained what took her so long. Thanks google earth! You were part of creating a happy and forever memory. 5 stars just because you rock. (No pun intended)more

Sorry to say but.. a few kinks..
Jul 7, 2020 So I had and deleted one and a half year ago because I didn’t rlly think I would need it. So earlier yesterday ( today’s yesterday) I was getting bored and so I got this app again and I had to get the older version. So idk if that is related to this but.. every time I try to “ walk “ in the streets it lets me go little ways but then it stops working and takes me to my home screen :( Is it related to old version of google earth or maybe because I don’t have latest version of iPad? Could it be because my iPad is like five years old or is it just something that needs a bug fix update? Or can you not fix? I totally understand if you cannot fix though because I know you all work hard reading reviews and trying to fix any problems anyone has. Thx for all your hard work guys! Me appreciates it. Sincerely, INFO UNAVAILABLEmore -
Hey I just wanna say something about this app
Jun 23, 2020 Unfortunately people lately have been saying there’s many glitches and strange things found on this app (and I agree) but since then there hasn’t been a SINGLE glitch or bug or strange thing that I have ever seen on this app known as google earth or google maps (whatever) but I just don’t understand what the point of these bugs and glitches are. Many people have found these kinds of bugs but I just don’t get where they came from and why this app has a lot of bugs and glitches. I don’t Know maybe something really is wrong with this app. Well good thing those glitches are fixed because I would be terrified if I saw a glitch. Because usually bugs and glitches on this App are usually very disturbing and I agree with them. Otherwise this app is great and I hope u like it too :)more -
Long time fan, needs technical improvement
May 5, 2020 This app is great and the measuring tool in particular makes it easy for me to plan new running routes. However lately it’s been challenging to use the app because of some recurring technical issues. Often the app crashes after less than five minutes of use and continues to crash every time I open the app. I’ve restarted my iPad and tried a few other troubleshooting things but the crashing still happens about 50% of the time. The street view feature is great! Despite the issues I would still recommend this app and continue to use it, but it would be really good if the issues would be fixed.more

Fix the time differences
Aug 31, 2020 I’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. 🙃more -
Nov 22, 2020 its good but THE ABSOLUTE WORST part is when your playing one of the quizzes and it says "no street view available" ITS WON'T GO AWAY so I have to exit the app and start it all over again pleaseee fix this its so annoying so minus two points until you fix thismore -
Will not load/open
Mar 26, 2020 Using 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.more -

Looks Awful
Aug 20, 2020 I 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 appmore

What’s Groovy
Best 👍 app but I'd recommend that: 1. Your street view arrows be changed to the same line as used in Google Maps. It'd make navigation far much easier. 2. Why allow only 20 or 21 photos? We need more photos for a particular place. 3. Speaking of photos, is there a way they can be arranged such that I can view more options? I.e Latest added, most liked? Thank You.

What’s Subpar
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.

Nice need a few Stuff tho
You see I like google earth and all but they need to have 3D at big cities like Moscow or Shanghai. What’s wrong with them? New York City is a big place but is less populated then the ones I mention. Also why are you covering some spots in the North and South Pole. In Greenland you can barely see a thing. In Siberia (which is in Russia of course) you can see trees and stuff but some stuff are blurry! Why??? I’m not saying ur keeping a secret from us but that’s pretty suspicious. You really need to change that. But really you should! Also one more thing. Why do you want to know where we live? That’s really creepy! I mean really creepy!!! I don’t want no one to know where I live (except my relatives of course). But no one else unless there my friends. That’s just really creepy dude! You should really change that!

I told her to go outside and wave to the sky and I would wave back, being the small charter school for arts that it was with only about 250 kinds in 9-12 combined it was small enough for me to be able to get away with locking her out..... Of, the entire school. About a solid 40 minutes later she comes into class looking like she has been threw the mill hair everywhere, sweating, panting you name it. I don’t remember how she got in, but what I do remember this is a cherished memory. Especially the lab teachers face when she explained what took her so long. Thanks google earth! You were part of creating a happy and forever memory. 5 stars just because you rock. (No pun intended) -
Love the app, great way to explore and a very good tool to use for when looking at properties and lot sizes. Would love if the images were more hi def, one day I am sure Google will make it happen!

Best earth view app ever! The location, longitude and latitudes are always on point. Love the 3d view and that you can customize the map to your own design. The interesting places notification is cool, too.

GREAT APP BUT NEEDS A FEW THINGS
This is a great app and I'd recommend getting it. The problem is it's not all 3d and I would like you to fix that 'cause my grandfather lives in D.C. but I can't see his house and I want to really bad ( because he's rich and owns a mansion ). Other than that it's GREAT!! But you should add something where you can change the time of day ( night, midnight, early morning (2 am), morning, day, noon, afternoon, evening ) where it changes everything. For example, at day, an office building would look regular, but if you changed it to NIGHT, it would look dimmer and all the lights would be on. If you fixed/added the stuff in my review, it would be a great app. Thank you Google for making another awesome addition to my screen! -
Updates
I just want to say that I wish all the maps update there City New York has not updated london San Francisco losngls and more the building don’t change New York 3D buildings Are in 2018 this year it should be 2019 so as rest of the world 3D city and it’s not live and no upadates of the building years we have to wait and Washington DC has no 3 d buildings and I’m looking at the same 3D building in New York for a year or more and it should have live maps and the loading you get shots cause far away it dose not load so google earth please make New York City have new 3D building cause the time New York takes place in is 2018 so now the 3D buildings should be 2019 by now so google earth update the 3D city’s more ok -
The app is really good for children to explore Earth from their mobile. The app helps us to know more about Earth. Best for people who wanna travel around the world and go to different places

Nice view of the world with a touch of a button
Really enjoy this app. Sometimes I just click on random places just to explore what certain places look like that I will probably never get to go. However I’ve noticed that sometimes an address doesn’t load and or it’s very slow and sits and buffers. I wish google would also update the maps. Before vacation, going to a new restaurant, going over to someones house for the first time, I like to look the place up to get an idea of routes. A lot are out of date. I guess it’s not this app’s purpose but I like using this to get a good idea of where I’m going. My address/ neighborhood for example is from 2007. I know it’s from then because my house and the neighborhood was built in 2007. It’s changed a lot since then and the picture is not clear. The aerial view is also different to the street view on some maps. Not the end of the world just wish it was updated. Since they have to drive to create the maps it probably takes awhile. I guess. -
Well I'd have to say that they are really updated on the environment, although the images are not like a thousand and eighty pixels so what, as far as you'd see the road, the junctions and landmarks to where you're going then that's awesome. I leave them with a 4 star rating.

Sorry to say but.. a few kinks..
So I had and deleted one and a half year ago because I didn’t rlly think I would need it. So earlier yesterday ( today’s yesterday) I was getting bored and so I got this app again and I had to get the older version. So idk if that is related to this but.. every time I try to “ walk “ in the streets it lets me go little ways but then it stops working and takes me to my home screen :( Is it related to old version of google earth or maybe because I don’t have latest version of iPad? Could it be because my iPad is like five years old or is it just something that needs a bug fix update? Or can you not fix? I totally understand if you cannot fix though because I know you all work hard reading reviews and trying to fix any problems anyone has. Thx for all your hard work guys! Me appreciates it. Sincerely, INFO UNAVAILABLE -
Hey I just wanna say something about this app
Unfortunately people lately have been saying there’s many glitches and strange things found on this app (and I agree) but since then there hasn’t been a SINGLE glitch or bug or strange thing that I have ever seen on this app known as google earth or google maps (whatever) but I just don’t understand what the point of these bugs and glitches are. Many people have found these kinds of bugs but I just don’t get where they came from and why this app has a lot of bugs and glitches. I don’t Know maybe something really is wrong with this app. Well good thing those glitches are fixed because I would be terrified if I saw a glitch. Because usually bugs and glitches on this App are usually very disturbing and I agree with them. Otherwise this app is great and I hope u like it too :) -
Long time fan, needs technical improvement
This app is great and the measuring tool in particular makes it easy for me to plan new running routes. However lately it’s been challenging to use the app because of some recurring technical issues. Often the app crashes after less than five minutes of use and continues to crash every time I open the app. I’ve restarted my iPad and tried a few other troubleshooting things but the crashing still happens about 50% of the time. The street view feature is great! Despite the issues I would still recommend this app and continue to use it, but it would be really good if the issues would be fixed. -
There is something unusual that this app lacks that prior to has been excellent. That is the borders than separates territories from one another. Which is very difficult to see. Fix A.S.A.P

Very Cool App I Can See Mountains, Towers and Wonders in the world! But Can you please add the option that you can go underwter and see shipwrecks? That would be amazing.

Still bugs to work out...
Google Earth is a remarkable app in so many ways, but it still has some bugs that limit its usefulness. For example, if you are using an iPad in horizontal mode, the app has a glitch that causes the onscreen keyboard to display only half the keys when you are trying to search for a location, making it impossible to input the location. Still, it is a great tool for exploring both the region where you live and, particularly in the context of all the travel restrictions associated with the pandemic, countries and cities that you can’t visit right now but might want to see someday!

Detail Update Please
Ive 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 :( -
Fix the time differences
I’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. 🙃 -
its good but THE ABSOLUTE WORST part is when your playing one of the quizzes and it says "no street view available" ITS WON'T GO AWAY so I have to exit the app and start it all over again pleaseee fix this its so annoying so minus two points until you fix this

Will not load/open
Using 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. -
I wish we can change the time like going back or present, not watching the map of the city a year or a couple of years ago And also, I also I want to go to the place out of roads

Just like many other ppl have said, I also use GE as my go to map. Whether its to go on a virtual vaca to a random island in the middle of the ocean or just to take a "stroll" in my neck of the woods, its always been my favorite interactive map. But I'm afraid thats all about to change if you guys don't fix the crashing prob that I've been experiencing & among many other people have as well. First I thought maybe my space was low, so I went through some old apps & uninstalled them. But, no dice!

This app is mean, it wont let you see things it is all ready. So the update made it less perfect. And it glitches to make you see that traffic lights are not there yet. IT LIKES TO CRASH WITH MORE ELECTRONICS NOW!!!! PLEASE UPDATE IT!!!!!!! they have to update the traffic lights, so the living space store can be there

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. -
Still a light years away in updating to what it should be..... still showing satellite pictures from 15 years ago.... Looking at other images I wish I upload an image of my street, but I cannot..
-
Looked good at first but between the search function returning an error message half the time and the fact that the whole app just randomly crashes every few minutes it's not worth bothering with quite frankly. Uninstalled.

Looks Awful
I 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
