I have over a dozen Google apps installed on my iPhone and iPad, but there are only three I use enough to have an opinion about: Gmail, Maps, and YouTube Music. Gmail and Maps work well enough for me, and I have no complaints. I much prefer the street view navigation on the Apple Maps app in areas where it’s available, though. YouTube Music, which I mainly use on the iPhone, is sluggish and buggy. Album covers, for example, are often slow to load, and sometimes the wrong covers appear next to songs in playlists. I only stay with it because I have a bunch of playlists left over from Google Play Music, which I was satisfied with, and because I encountered annoying technical problems with both Spotify and Apple Music when I tried them a few years ago.
