Literally makes all my apps lag and crash. I've tried everything to figure out what happened in between the past week tht would've done this and it seems others are having the same issue. I've deleted all apps re-downloaded etc etc. And they're still so laggy, as in I'll click on something and about 5-8 seconds later it Will register and that's if it doesn't force closes on itself.

Jazz Anderson, 2024-11-18Horrible app, horrible updates, horrible backend. The most recent version not only breaks a lot of my company apps, but it also breaks CORE GOOGLE PIXEL FEATURES, breaks sign in confirmations, breaks account management settings, breaks everything.Only downgrading the app to the base version fixes anything. I've been wrestling this for days on my phone. This is by far one of the worst experiences I have ever had on android is wrestling with this damned app.(That the entire system uses as backend)

Kenny Werner, 2024-10-30The phone was working just great. It is just when you get updated from Google and also installed unknown apps on the phone that make phones act different. I believe customer should be notified by the developer that just an item is ready, and you should have a choice to want it or refuse 😉 the app. This should not be apply as a one app fit all. Some do and some don't work as stated 🙄. So why's not give customer the chance to choose. You're not loosing any money. But it challenge you...
