Ratings and reviews

As mentioned in another review, the latest update of Maps is broken. App freezes and I can't minimize it. I have to swipe it closed and reset. All the time! I have un-installed and re-installed the app, same behavior persists. I will update my rating when the issue is resolved, because I've used it for well over a decade with zero problems, and quite enjoy the lists, pins, and terrain view.

Since the latest update in 2024, Google Maps has had persistent issues: buttons freeze, maps take over the screen with no exit option, the toolbar vanishes, and the app runs in the background even after reaching the destination. It's baffling that these issues haven't been resolved yet. And because it hasn't been resolved, it feels intentional, like this is how it's supposed to function. I've tolerated these issues, thinking it might be a learning curve, but it is too frustrating to bother.

Would have been a great app except that it wouldn't speak turn by turn directions. I verified the settings four times. I know it can speak because it would say the first direction, and once "You have arrived at your destination". Otherwise, silence. No good trying to look at the phone while driving. *EDIT* Thx for reply. I tried your suggestion (been thru it before), no luck. App SPEAKS the 1st step, then nothing. All settings as specified, latest version of app. Pixel 3a & 8a FWIW.
