Google Chrome | App Report, Store and Ranking Data

MORE ISSUES: Now I can no longer log into Sony’s PlayStation store. In Chrome, I keep getting an error saying my password is wrong. I reset my password and had the same issue. I tried the same credentials is Safari and logged in no problem. On Chrome, all plugins were off, so it wasn’t that. As of writing this, Chrome is broken in yet again in that it doesn’t allow PlayStation Store logins. Wasted my time creating a new password which I now have to enter into my PS4. Not to mention the time wasted documenting yet another Google blunder. Also, I see since mentioning I copy/paste my reviews that the deleting has stopped. Sad it took me having to say that to get my experience with Google products from being censored, but that’s 2021 for ya. LATEST: There is yet another glitch where now when the user holds the Chrome icon and clicks “New Search”, instead of bringing up the search, it brings up the user’s Reading List. Just another glitch to add the already extensive pile of unresolved issues. DELETING MY REVIEWS IS NOT GOING TO RESOLVE THE ISSUES AND GLITCHES GOODLE DEVS HAVE LEFT IN THE CHROME BROWSER. I WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP COPIES OF MY REVIEWS AND WILL COMMIT TO REPOSTING THEM EVERY TIME THEY ARE DELETED. I HAVE BOUGHT INTO GOOGLE WITH A CHROMEBOOK AND CLOUD STORAGE SO IM INVESTING IN GOOGLE FINALLY RESOLVING THESE LONG STANDING GLITCHES AND ISSUES. ALL GLITCHES AND ISSUES MENTIONED BELOW ARE STILL UNRESOLVED; CHROME BROWSER ON IOS IS STILL WILDLY UNSTABLE. UPDATE: It’s been weeks now since my previous review. Chrome is still broken to the point of being unusable. I switched to Safari for a while but now I’ve moved on to Brave. As someone who owns a Chromebook, I’m really disappointed in the state of their browser. I’ll keep checking from time to time to see if these issues get resolved but until they do, I have to use different browsers for different devices because Chrome on IOS is broken. Biggest tech company can’t even keep their flagship browser in a usable state. PREVIOUS REVIEW: Chrome has a major glitch. Anytime I attempt to zoom into a website, Chrome completely errors out with “Aw snap” and the entire website is gone and must be reloaded. This has been happening for weeks now and happens every time I try to zoom in. New issue has started. The browser can’t sit still and keeps moving elements around. For instance, text I’m reading will jump up or down the page making it impossible to read. The only way to get around this is to keep one finger on the screen and keep slightly moving up and down. But not 2 fingers because that can count as a zoom and, as I mentioned above, will break the browser completely with the “Am Snap” issue. Between these 2 glitches, Chrome has become unusable at this time. Chrome is broken as of writing this review. I’ve gone back to Safari and will continually check up on Chrome until the devs finally work through these bugs. (Also I have copied my review as Apple’s App Store has started a habit of removing my reviews. If they continue with this behavior I will simply re-add my review each time.)

Across two generations of iPad and several generations of iOS, uTube TV has been notoriously buggy and problem prone. Issues include, nonstop “spinning” and frozen picture at all hours of the day, mysteriously failing to record regular programs at times, and dicey controls. My in-house, wi/fi broadcasts at 110 mbps as measured with Okla. There is no issue with streaming on my LG TV, or my Apple TV 4K. Could uTube be throttling the stream to my iOS device? No matter, for the price we pay for channels we don’t even want (Yeah, uTube TV is headed the way of cable TV. You know the song: “130 channels and nothing on”.), I should get full streaming volume no matter what device I tune in with. No cigar for uTube TV.

This developer is using ADOBE FLASH PLAYER which was EOL in 2020. In large part sue to fraud. Scammers build what looks like an actual website allowing the victim to input all their personal info. But whats really happening is the plug in just plays the fame website. This particular group of people are vast network of criminals. Check out Locast in your area the local broadcasting company. Broadcast those signals oh BTW charge people $5 donations to broadcast the channels you air all your fraud on. Anyone a sports fan. How many people could you grab onto and become their MDM when you have thousands thansands that walk right into your big building to watch games, concerts, and the list goes on and on!!!

With each new update Google manages to break more basic features. Starting a few months ago the long press context menu wouldn't work once every few searches. A page refresh would fix the issue. In the latest update they managed to break it entirely. As this is how I open every single web page, the browser is no longer useful. I wish developers would acknowledge known issues so we knew a fix was in the works. Google remains silent on an issue that is months old. I finally deleted the app and moved on to another browser.

Until just recently, I could use chrome in landscape mode and it would stay there even when the phone was tilted upside down (like reading while laying down). Now Chrome rotates to upside-down portrait mode with the phone, which is useless. Locking screen rotation from the iOS control center forces Chrome to go right-side up portrait even if it was in landscape when I toggled it. I cannot force Chrome to lock into landscape mode. Please fix this! I’ve reinstalled the app and it didn’t help.

Performance has been abysmal, not only audio glitches from the keyboard while typing but constant glitches where holding to highlight or open a menu don’t work. App has to be closed and re-opened where it crashes to relaunch again. Tabs disappear constantly. If safari didn’t have such a trash interface I’d ditch chrome in a heartbeat. I’m really glad I can transfer passwords from chrome so that at least makes it easier to get rid of this joke of a browser.
