2. [R12] 5/5 · US Amazing work, google!: Wanna travel the world and c anything u want? GET THIS APP. It is a free ticket to anywhere on earth in just a small, free download. Go into street view and with just 5 seconds, u don’t even remember ur on a screen! Therefore, google earth = GOAT!
3. [R31] 5/5 · US Google Earth: Great map and exploration app. Would recommend for any age.
4. [R59] 5/5 · US Very useful!: Google Earth has been a great help for getting around to other places. The virtual globe map is so real!
5. [R8] 5/5 · US I love app: In 3d I love (♥ω♥)  it
6. [R68] 5/5 · US Best map app I ever saw!: It is awesome.The first reason is that you could go back in time and see what the world and map looked like back then ,and it is super realistic, but that’s not all. You could see space and everything,and you could search up the location and one more thing.It has real pictures that is actually real. That’s why it is the best map app ever!”
7. [R14] 4/5 · US Could be improved: New problem, July, 2026: This app freezes regularly and unpredictably. I was hoping for an update but there isn’t one. Weirder is that punctuation to write this review is failing. … I use this app a lot and love that I can save searches, measurements, etc. I've been using map apps as I read because they make everything more memorable and real. I’ve run into a problem recently th
8. [R44] 3/5 · US Good, but needs bug improvements (very specific bugs): I love this app for making kml files and doing research but the bugs make it really hard to use. Whenever I place a pin, It often crashes when saving color, pin size or label size changes, completely freezing the screen. The pins glitch in size as well, sometimes getting larger when clicked and not going back to their original size, leading to
9. [R306] 3/5 · GB Good, BUT…: I got this app because i thought it would be cool to look at certain stuff, explore, and plan for trips. HOWEVER, the 3D buildings are all…blurry. Defeats the whole purpose of the app if Im being honest with you.
10. [R6] 1/5 · US Blurry on Ipad: On my Ipad 7, for some time now GE gets blurry after a few minutes of normality . I have had extensive conversations with Gemini on what to do. Tried everything suggested, Nothing helps. Just now tried developer help button, but nothing applies to my ipad. Please help
11. [R49] 3/5 · US Why is it blurry: What is wrong with this app at first you open the app and it perfect then after a few minutes it get blurry I can’t see see the buildings or landmarks
12. [R82] 3/5 · US Great initially: It’s great the first 5min, then the rendering quality falls off a cliff. I’ll set my phone down with google earth open and I can literally watch the polygons disappear and it become unusable. I’m not sure what changed but now the app is only useful for 4-5min before I have to close and reopen it, which is very annoying.
13. [R99] 1/5 · US Blur Issues: The app becomes unusable from blur after just a minute or two of use. Clearing cache doesn’t help. You have to force the app to close and reopen it to buy yourself another minute of clear imagery
14. [R13] 1/5 · US Clearly wrong inconsistent images: Did you sell a house 5 years ago. This shows before you bought it lol.
15. [R17] 1/5 · US update ts and make it look better mane: outdated as hell, we’re in 2026 i’m wanting a realistic globe.
16. [R18] 1/5 · US Examine the planet: How can we examine the planet if it’s not updated properly with most recent everything
17. [R22] 2/5 · US Time to update your satellite images: I finished building my house and moved in over 2 years ago and your image of my home still shows a construction site with a port-a-potty at the end of my gravel driveway! Also...try taking the pictures closer to midday to avoid misleading lengthy shadows in your images.
18. [R20] 4/5 · US New updates cause issues: I use this for work almost every other day but the constant updates keep having issues and bugs that are really annoying. I save projects to my account but the app won’t open them when I try to tap on it you have to force the app closed and open repeatedly to get it to work right especially if you rename a project then it glitches. They also placed the “New” button in pro
19. [R36] 1/5 · US Malfunction, the app is not working: The app is not working. · translated
20. [R38] 1/5 · US Everything lags: You have to tap fifty times to remove the previous address. · translated
21. [R9] 3/5 · US Add projects back: Hey there Google team, I noticed that the ‘projects by google’ is now in a seperate website(eg… cities in night, empires of India map etc.). I missed using it and playing the mini games. Add it back
22. [R234] 3/5 · US Disappointed: Google Earth is amazing. It’s fun and it helps me find stuff that I want to see around the world. But one issue I have with it is that on my phone I cannot find the quizzes/games anywhere. Those were my favorite part of the app and it really disappoints me not being able to use them anymore.
23. [R54] 1/5 · US No longer useful: Satellite imagery is no longer available. Historical imagery was added about a year a go, which was great, but now it's gone. Most of the available overlays are pretty obscure and not terribly useful.
24. [R55] 1/5 · US Worthless now: Lost all my stuff I had saved… I’m a fireman and can’t find a layer with fires… Can’t search the layers. Someone needs to get fired Leave it to Google to not care about their users…
25. [R43] 2/5 · US Old version better for ipads: Using ipad, new version removes the ability to zoom in on photos of restaurants, hotels, airports, etc. It also shows all (usually 20) photos first, then when you select the first one to view as slide show, there is a white bar at both top and bottom of screen, making the image space smaller. The previous version also included the English name of a place, so if the la
26. [R74] 1/5 · US horrible.: this was easier to use when i saw 5. they’re made it 100x more difficult. i should be able to copy paste address and it brings me too it. but no it zooms out to the city and that’s it. fix the glitches.
27. [R95] 1/5 · US Glitchy, oversimplified UI which makes navigation and using tools complex: Glitchy, oversimplified UI which makes navigation and using tools complex. Basic UX design is ignored, features are hidden except when they are advertised and shoved in your face. Horrible offline options, blurry images even after zooming in and out and setting graphics quality to high.
28. [R27] 1/5 · US Loved it but now miss it: So, I understand that it requires higher Apple iOS / iPhones now but, why couldn’t you continue keeping for the older versions? I have a iPhone 10 someone gifted me, I knew at some point it’ll get more older over the years but I just saw You Google actually had your google car visit my home and I just got excited now. But finding out Google Earth no longer works on my iPh
29. [R45] 3/5 · US Can’t install app: I cannot install the app. I don’t have enough data install the app I wish I could get it. How do I delete apps on my apple phone without getting in trouble if you know tell me how to do it. Idk what the heck the phone number is but I’m not able to ask my brain just tells me not to idk why it says that.
30. [R63] 1/5 · US Nope!: I absolutely love google earth. BUT YOU HAVE ABUSED MY PRIVACY & MY DATA for far too long! Nope. Gone from my life as I degoogle my devices, family, and life. Since I live in The US who is only interested in big corporations and using our data against us, I consider google to be one of the demons that feeds that monster. No more.
31. [R50] 3/5 · US Great App...Need Coordinates to Show: UPDATE: Wish we could see the coordinates on the screen we’re on when looking around. If I do a screenshot, it used to say the coordinates so I could refer back to the location at a later date. It no longer does this. Please change this part back so coordinates can always be identified.
32. [R137] 3/5 · US Good: I like how you can actually find your own house, but the thing is sometimes it just doesn’t show present day or maybe all the time it doesn’t show present day make it so that it’s always present day right now. I know that my parents aren’t home. But the thing is I like how they don’t reveal license plates. This app might actually be a good one, but still it doesn’t show present day which mak
33. [R178] 3/5 · US Zoom resolution bug: Ever, since the most recent update has been made, I have had a pretty annoying problem when I zoom in and out after using the program for about 10 minutes. Initially, the resolution of the textures would appear clean and high quality as usual. Later however, no matter what zoom level I was at, the textures became very blurry and blotchy. The textures on the 3D structures were
34. [R2] 5/5 · US I have a question: Hello this game is amazing I love it so much but I have one question does this game run without WiFi?
