Ratings and reviews

Look at it's permissions, very intrusive spyware. You have no control over this. You cannot disable it. For me, it constantly tries to connect to a carrier different from the one I have, takes over the phone and freezes it for 6 minutes, during this I can't even use my phone! I'm on day 2 now of it freezing my phone like this every few hours, for 6 minutes, all because I did a reboot. I go through this each time I do a reboot. Google needs to get it's act together.

This update made my phone's connectivity worse, making it unusable at times, as did the next to last update did also. I can be at home and my phone constantly disconnects from my wifi network as well as from my carriers mobile network, so I'm basically left with an MP3 player that can take pictures. I wish I knew how to roll back one version to the last one that worked, and I would then never update this app again. If your phone is working properly, don't mess with it, and skip this update.

This app is nothing more than misleading to users. Using a name like that to make it seem like its required for anything other than Google and Google's ability to turn on their own apps that you disabled in the background without your permission. Not to mention to name it carrier service and try to hide it as something that looks important to the amateur Tech person like it came as part of your cell phones package and has anything to do with your cell phone working properly. That's low.
