Jan 29, 2021 Awesome app, just found how to get a picture from it when I want to explore new places to hike, prospect, explore, metal detect & even a ghost town not too far from me. Exploring from space off the beaten path of others is almost as much fun as actually doing it in person. Lots of stuff to find, learn and do, even for the social butterflies out there. Have fun and good luck.more -
Feb 19, 2021 Baby, I love you, but your controls suck. After carefully alligning the picture just the way I want it, the image always swims a little after I take my finger off the screen. Then, when I go to move it, I have to "break" it from its locked position by jarring the image, meaning I then have to resize and reset it. I would prefer the movement controls to work like they do in Maps. There also seems to be no way to save a postcard other than to text yourself and save it thru sms.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 -
Feb 13, 2021 Excellent app. Works nearly as good as on my desktop. Why 'nearly'? Because a mobile phone's diminutive, touch-maneuvered screen is SO CLUMSY! The ease of moving around on a big desktop screen is simply never going to happen on a mobile. Still Google Earth in your palms, wherever you go, is an incredible achievement today, thanks to its inventors and developers, and it's only getting better and better! Keep it up! 👍😊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.

Not Even Basic App Comforts (2020 iPad Pro)
May 19, 2020 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.more -
Jan 29, 2021 Google stays years behind current geomapping and satellite accuracy. The maps on Google's earth and map apps do not update regularly with new roads, street view, geolocation, or satellite view. The information available to consumers is antiquated and always out dated. This has been the main problem for over a decade! To this end, android users would be better served to have the option to have devices that don't require Google services.more -
Feb 18, 2021 This is app is rather fun and addicting!! Very interesting. Everyone saying that it may takes up to 5 years to update every single viewpoint and that not every country or even town has 3d or street view need to understand that the world is a big place and they can only get to big nature areas and DECENTLtowns and cities, also some countries have privacy issues that wouldn't let us get all those pictures. However, since a few weeks ago, whenever I open the app I get a black frozen screen. Plz fixmore -
Feb 7, 2021 Love the concept, but i don't understand why so much is blocked out. It's clear there are many, if not most, place on a vast scale, covered by blank scape photos. Clearly defined border deception and color flaw are visible. More than 75% if the maps surface , that I've explored, yields no usage considering its false and empty information. Hopefully at some point the actual earth surface can be seen all of the way, obviously excluding sensitive governed facilities to be practical.more -
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

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 -
GREAT APP BUT NEEDS A FEW THINGS
Jan 25, 2020 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!more -
Updates
Aug 16, 2020 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 okmore

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 -
Really great!
Jan 3, 2021 Oh, man. I use this app far more than I’d like to admit. When I’m planning out mountaineering routes and backcountry ski trips, Google Earth proves shockingly useful. I would never use Google Earth in place of a detailed topo map, but there’s something revelatory about being able to fly around a 3-D image of your objective and view it from different angles. In fact, it’s this usefulness that makes me occasionally frustrated with it. The reliance on data signal makes it an unreliable friend in the backcountry. I wish (like with Google Maps) there were some way to save certain areas to my phone so that I could consult a 3-D rendering of the terrain in which I’m currently route-finding, rather than just taking a ton of screenshots.more -
Jan 30, 2021 Thank you for your google earth map, But when you first introduced google earth back in the day it worked excellent on a cell phone, after you made changes it been for years always malfunctioning, blurry, and distorted, pieces of earth not showing and so forth, sometimes it good working. I will install again, i always uninstall then wait awhile to see if you've improved it with a good update. Installing it again. Well here goes. To be continued later with a updated review. Update, much better.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 -
Jan 17, 2021 The app is really good! I like how you can take a closer view of the area you want to see! But the problem is some creepy and unusual things have been found on the camera , like nonhuman figures, dolls etc . I dont know if all those are true and its really unusual. But there are also funny things like a man stuck in the toilet 😳😂😂. Overall really great! Thank you for such a great appmore -
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 -
Feb 16, 2021 I'm rating 3 stars because I just want to say something to the people who says the earth here is outdated, just know Google uses Satellite imagery and it may not look like today but it's still accurate for where it's set.

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
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.

What’s Subpar
GE is an app that belongs in 2010. Granted, they haven't updated their desktop app in ages. Biggest thing I'd like to see is offline downloads. Google Maps does it, Backcountry Navigator does it. Sure, tons of data, but I've have 250gb of YouTube music downloaded... lemme cache! You can temporarily cache contents by manually browsing, but if you ever reboot your phone in the backcountry where there's no signal, you loose the ability to view anything at all until you get back online.

Awesome app, just found how to get a picture from it when I want to explore new places to hike, prospect, explore, metal detect & even a ghost town not too far from me. Exploring from space off the beaten path of others is almost as much fun as actually doing it in person. Lots of stuff to find, learn and do, even for the social butterflies out there. Have fun and good luck.

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. 🙃

Beach
So good I love love that I can see the beach

Awesome app, just found how to get a picture from it when I want to explore new places to hike, prospect, explore, metal detect & even a ghost town not too far from me. Exploring from space off the beaten path of others is almost as much fun as actually doing it in person. Lots of stuff to find, learn and do, even for the social butterflies out there. Have fun and good luck.

Excellent app. Works nearly as good as on my desktop. Why 'nearly'? Because a mobile phone's diminutive, touch-maneuvered screen is SO CLUMSY! The ease of moving around on a big desktop screen is simply never going to happen on a mobile. Still Google Earth in your palms, wherever you go, is an incredible achievement today, thanks to its inventors and developers, and it's only getting better and better! Keep it up! 👍😊

Need a laugh? read me!
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) -
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 -
Great app. More than an app. A kind of game. An entertaining adventure. I want to know more about our world. We are such a fortunate bunch of generations. My 92 year old mother and my 12 year old niece love this app. A treasure. A gift to all who love to feed their curiosity. Love the measuring tool.

I will be forever grateful
So today my mom is going to go to Jalapeño in my city so we can get a burrito because their burritos are good. So I looked up where Jalapeño is in my city and I memorized that spot. I am also in the mood for a smoothie and looked up Tropical Smoothie Cafe because their Bahama Mama is one of my favorite smoothies. I looked up both of them to see if they were even remotely near each other because if they were, I could get a smoothie. It turns out they’re right next to each other! Google Earth helped me figure out if I could get a smoothie and I am forever thankful for that. Now every time my mom goes out to Jalapeño I have a decent chance of her saying yes to getting tropical smoothie. -
It's like nothing I've ever seen before!!! I don't have to go anywhere but my office or couch to get the information I need to do my job correctly. Unless the 3D image is not very clear or may be out of date by less than a year, I have NO PROBLEM USING THE "WALKING" FEATURE IN WHICH ALLOWS YOU TO WALK DOWN THE ROAD AND TURN AROUND IN A 360° PANORAMIC VIEW, ALSO ZOOM IN/OUT FEATURE, DIFFERENT VIEWING OPTIONS LIKE ARIEL, 3D, NIGHT TIME, SATELLITE AND MUCH MORE ARE AVAILABLE TO USE ANYTIME YOU NEED

Future is Here.
Not only 5-star app for iOS platform, but also for later viewing in Virtual Reality. Using the Insta360 camera, I can upload 360 photospheres to Google Earth/Streetview via the Google Streetview app. In the end, using the Google Earth App to view not just google content, but updated content by google users makes for an incredible end-user experience. This is also a 5-star review for the Google Earth program available in the Oculus App Store (free). Using a VR platform (e.g., Oculus Rift S), you can literally “walk” down a street with a 360 degree view as you go. Incredible technology. Future is here - check out the app in virtual reality if you have the opportunity. -
You can not travel without Google——-
especially if you are motoring somewhere and need a hotel, restaurant, or medical help. The Maps app is enormously helpful because in addition to the video depictions, the aural directions allow you to listen to the driving directions and watch the road. The Earth app is a fantastic aerial view of your route and/or destination, which then allows you to simply go to maps and enter the address. You can enter enroute information requests for hotels and gas stations or just about anything you want or need. It is very intuitive, is GPS synch’d, and will get you un-lost in a jiffy. You simply can not go anywhere without this app.

Baby, I love you, but your controls suck. After carefully alligning the picture just the way I want it, the image always swims a little after I take my finger off the screen. Then, when I go to move it, I have to "break" it from its locked position by jarring the image, meaning I then have to resize and reset it. I would prefer the movement controls to work like they do in Maps. There also seems to be no way to save a postcard other than to text yourself and save it thru sms.

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 :) -
Really great!
Oh, man. I use this app far more than I’d like to admit. When I’m planning out mountaineering routes and backcountry ski trips, Google Earth proves shockingly useful. I would never use Google Earth in place of a detailed topo map, but there’s something revelatory about being able to fly around a 3-D image of your objective and view it from different angles. In fact, it’s this usefulness that makes me occasionally frustrated with it. The reliance on data signal makes it an unreliable friend in the backcountry. I wish (like with Google Maps) there were some way to save certain areas to my phone so that I could consult a 3-D rendering of the terrain in which I’m currently route-finding, rather than just taking a ton of screenshots. -
Thank you for your google earth map, But when you first introduced google earth back in the day it worked excellent on a cell phone, after you made changes it been for years always malfunctioning, blurry, and distorted, pieces of earth not showing and so forth, sometimes it good working. I will install again, i always uninstall then wait awhile to see if you've improved it with a good update. Installing it again. Well here goes. To be continued later with a updated review. Update, much better.
-
Lovely app, but I wish developer can improve on the selection of preferred coordinates of interest e.g i should be able to select UTM coordinate over latitude and longitude and secondly I should be able to map out points on the app and export to Cad... environment or import to the app etc.. Thabks.
-
The map is an excellent tool it's correct the only issue is some of the pictures are outdated and old because I'm living at this address over 3 years and it still shows the old outdated pictures. There are trees that are cut down and the looks on some houses changed. I think it's time for an updated map
-
The app is great, but the web version isn't working at all. I keep on getting redirected to the "Aw, Snap!" page every single time Google Earth loads. I have done everything Google Help has offered for me to do, and it still hasn't worked. Once again, the app is working fine, it's just the web version that's not working.
-
Exceptional app to use and very educational learning about the other countries and being able to see the other countries and where they are around the world. Highly recommend for other people to use. Definitely would install the app if you do not have it already. Overall very happy and content with installing Google Earth.

A little out-dated
So, overall, really great app. I’m able to look at where I live, in the neighborhood. I love the street view as well. Theres only two things I would change about it. Ok, first of all, cmon. Like, those graphics man! Once, I was lookin at water pouring out of an inflatable pool (wow great time to take a picture Mr. Satellite XD) and it had corners and points and it almost looked like a rectangle...Secondly, it’s too out-dated. I’m literally looking at something from a year like 2014 when I’m almost in 2021! Overall, great app, just those two things and I would put in five stars. P.S. I know you guys don’t read these stupid reviews, but seriously, please give the app an update.

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. 🙃 -
The app is really good! I like how you can take a closer view of the area you want to see! But the problem is some creepy and unusual things have been found on the camera , like nonhuman figures, dolls etc . I dont know if all those are true and its really unusual. But there are also funny things like a man stuck in the toilet 😳😂😂. Overall really great! Thank you for such a great app

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'm rating 3 stars because I just want to say something to the people who says the earth here is outdated, just know Google uses Satellite imagery and it may not look like today but it's still accurate for where it's set.
-
for our rural area of Redding, in California, google maps is more updated than Google earth.image are from 2014 or 2013 it's very outdated for our rural area, trees and other objects are In the images that were removed, things like building missing and swimming pools that have not been here since 2014 are in the Google earth images, but not in Google maps which seemed to been corrected. Wanted to point out also it shows cars owned by the people that lived here before us in Redding, its outdated.

Not Even Basic App Comforts (2020 iPad Pro)
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. -
Google stays years behind current geomapping and satellite accuracy. The maps on Google's earth and map apps do not update regularly with new roads, street view, geolocation, or satellite view. The information available to consumers is antiquated and always out dated. This has been the main problem for over a decade! To this end, android users would be better served to have the option to have devices that don't require Google services.
-
This is app is rather fun and addicting!! Very interesting. Everyone saying that it may takes up to 5 years to update every single viewpoint and that not every country or even town has 3d or street view need to understand that the world is a big place and they can only get to big nature areas and DECENTLtowns and cities, also some countries have privacy issues that wouldn't let us get all those pictures. However, since a few weeks ago, whenever I open the app I get a black frozen screen. Plz fix
-
Love the concept, but i don't understand why so much is blocked out. It's clear there are many, if not most, place on a vast scale, covered by blank scape photos. Clearly defined border deception and color flaw are visible. More than 75% if the maps surface , that I've explored, yields no usage considering its false and empty information. Hopefully at some point the actual earth surface can be seen all of the way, obviously excluding sensitive governed facilities to be practical.

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. -
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 -
I like the app. It is useful, but could be better. Some areas that I know have been built on since last recorded to this app, but not shown. Also the images could be better as well. Quite blurry. Also maps seriously needs updating
