For some reason the only option for viewing previous year maps is through time-lapse now. Which means you have to sit and wait for it to flip through every year and you have to try and pause on the year you want but that's all you can do. I remember a long time ago you use to be able to select the year you want to veiw and you could explore around on that year but now the only option is time-lapse and it's annoying.

This app used to be so much better, but of course they had to make it worse with an update. Now, the app's UI is less space efficient, with half the screen taken up by "your projects" on every startup. Worse, the app is now a lot slower. It used to load the maps in just a couple seconds, but now it can take over a minute even on good Internet, and there is no visual improvement. 5* -> 3*. Please bring back the old version.

Crash! Crash! Crash! That's pretty much all this update does. Google Earth continues to get worse with each new update. Samsung Health continues to tell me there's a problem with Earth. Also, if you open another window or answer a call, it throws you back to aerial view and the settings reset. I guess Google Programing is taking the lowest bidder. Actually, they are working up to charging $ for a PREMIUM VERSION, one that will actually work.
