Just from a UX perspective, the quality of Google products seems to have tanked in recent years. Android, Sheets and Maps seem like they're still best-in-class. Maybe Gmail is still ok too (I don't know, I don't use it). But almost everything else has started to feel completely unusable to me. Even Google Fi is starting to suck.
Analytics is literally the cornerstone of Google's business model. Did Google just get too complacent at the top?
- 6510 3y agoMaps drives me nuts, the data is truly glorious but I hate the interface
- carlosjobim 3y agoAgreed. Maps is the only product remaining where Google is a leader. There are much better alternatives to GMail and Google Search, but not to maps. I think online maps are only going to become stronger and more important in people's lives, as everything there is real and not machine generated. Apple will never be able to compete until they allow users to add places that are missing.
- okdood64 3y ago> Google Fi What Google Fi UI do you use on a regularly basis?
- yosito 3y agoI'm referring to the UX, not the UI. I have Google Fi that I used to use as a backup hotspot while traveling. But then they decided I travel too much and arbitrarily cut off my data one day, so I started buying a global eSIM from Airalo and using it alongside Google Fi for calls/SMS. Then the calls and SMSes started having trouble. I reached out to Fi support, and they didn't seem to comprehend the issue. It took several days to get a response and the response was less intelligent than talking to GPT3.
