Ratings and reviews

5/11/23--Still terrible As of the last week or so, constantly getting the dreaded "something went wrong, couldn't conbect to Discover." Typically, I love the Discover feed, I have customized it into something the reflects my interest extremely well and presents excellent, timely information. However, it is now completely broken. None of the typical "fixes" seem to work. Or maybe they'll allow the feed to refresh one time before it crashes again. I sure hope Google fixes this.

Google search is just the default for me and with the advent of many AI features on the way and my incredibly deep integration with Google Workspace, this is not just a passable app, but Google is the way to go. Lens is helpful for a multitude of things and it really does seem as though an answer is simply a search (or two) away. My biggest critique is the "Homework" feature on Google Lens is not very helpful since it searches similar problems on Google and doesn't know the problem.

Update: I tried a some things, emptied the cache, restarted my phone a few times, and deleted a few new apps on my phone to start with. Looked at what background settings. I think it's back to working how it was before. Opening links in app. Sometimes I can open/read on the app. Sometimes it opens Chrome. It wasn't opening links in app first, it would automatically open in my default browser. I like having the option to browse and read on the app first and open or share if I want.
