For example -I search something like “candy” and then on the results that come up there is an overview of the subject searched. They contain directions and/or explanations for VERY self explanatory buttons and things on the Google page. Literally EVERY SINGLE time I am on Google on my iphone, these blue “tip” boxes pop up. Have an issue and cannot find anyone at Google to help. Google - get rid of the blue pop up tips!!! It’s pretty self defeating, don’t you think? I can’t even see the content at times because of pop-up ads. This app in particular has become so plagued with ads that I’m seriously thinking of deleting it. It’s not your job to annoy me to the point that all I’ll think the next time I see an add for the products you tried to feed me today is “annoying!!!” Your job is to tastefully serve and let me read. Your job isn’t to aggravate people so much they won’t try to read their content anymore. I’m sure that will impress your advertisers well. I got so fed up, I deleted all my tabs saved from this app in my browser.
I’m not going to click an ad while reading an article. If I delete it, you ask why, then a second or two later serve up another or layer several over each other. Even if they don’t cover the words on the article, the wiggly ads cause smart phones to flash light in my eyes, making it difficult to focus my eyes on what I’m trying to read. I love you Google but you’ve become ultra obnoxious about putting ads into articles! They flash constantly, popping up into the reading area.

I always quit an app when I’m done using it. Note: if I let Google run in the background rather than quitting the app when I’m done it works as expected. Google opens on the microphone screen, registers my speech and executed the search. Expected Behavior: I click the microphone button on the widget.
Finally the mic button comes back at which point I can click it and speak. The microphone appears to be listening for about a second but doesn’t register any sound. After about a second the “tap the mic” screen auto opens. Current Behavior: I click the microphone button on the widget.
This only occurs on a fresh load (e.g., when not allowing the app to run in the background). TL DR: voice search requires two clicks and about two seconds of load time before it registers speech. Updated my review as this issue was fixed even before the review was moderated and published 🙂 Your feedback helps us create products you'll love.
