Ratings and reviews

Stop forcing me to update when I don't want to. I was using maps when I was FORCED into a 15 minute update (even after having one last week) and went the wrong way. Had to pull over and wait forever for it to finish and was late to an appointment and got a $25 late/no show fee. I was literally using the device when you disabled my phone. Ridiculous. This makes me want to throw this phone away and switch to something else. Stop forcing unwanted and unnecessary updates on people.

I came back to edit my review, but I can't find it. Again, I am a high school student, and I don't need this on my phone, but it automatically installed. I uninstalled it. But guess what? It's still active on my phone. kind of crazy. The notification will not go away, I can't turn notifications off, and I cannot disable it. It is taking up memory, using battery, and is overall just an inconvenience. It resembles malware, really. Get it off my phone, Google.

Positive 1 word reviews are WORTHLESS, at best, combined with what little Google states taken together are COMPLETELY UNHELPFUL. Some vender & Android apps like this MIGHT be innocuous, but no explanation/openness of WHY & WHAT they do only causes WIDESPREAD DISCONTENT. We logically conclude it's Bloatware & adds yet more privacy risk for users. Consensus it's somehow for admins managing groups of work devices, So? Criticisms it's UNNEEDED BLOAT for everyone else are completely valid!
