![]() ![]() Who are you to make that judgment on all of the population. ![]() It makes me sad that all the big corporations want to keep people in the dark, never sharing what they find. What good is exploring the planet in virtual format if all you get is blurred images to hide those detail? I don’t use Google Earth much any more because it is a joke now. Why is it that there are photoshop cuts and cloud clips, that are covering up detail of the landscape? Please fire the photoshop team and tell it like it is. We the people want the details and the Truth. Also the area surrounding and encompassing Antarctica is severely pathetic. I used to remember looking at land masses and seeing the trees and roads but the current images are now blurry blobs. With the new updates and imagery, a lot of detail has been removed. I recall that the first images used to allow the bottom of the ocean exploration with a smooth transition from land to sea. Ive been a fan of google earth for a long time now. I think it could be a great educational tool for people of any age group, but its potential is being squandered. It’s unfortunate that Google is seemingly neglecting such a great app. I can’t go for more than a half hour without something glitching out, and so far there seems to be no acknowledgement of these issues from Google. Either the image quality will be so bad that the entire globe looks pixely even when fully zoomed out, or whole chunks of it will be black, or else it won’t display any locations or any other labeling. Every single time I open the app something goes wrong. However, as of late this app has been nothing but glitches and bugs. It has made me see our planet in a whole new light, opening my eyes to all the beauty that it holds. I’ve spent hours just scrolling around the planet, tracing meandering rivers and gliding over mountain ranges. ![]() ![]() It lets me explore the world in a way that isn’t possible for me in real life, allowing me to zoom in and experience places all over the world which I may never get to visit in person. I don't know how the Google satellites work, so it might not even be possible to add a day/night setting with our current technology. For example, you could set it to midnight setting, and everything would be dark and windows would be glowing. One thing that would be cool is adding a function where you could change the time of day. Overall, it's amazing, and I fully recommend it to any geography or history nerd. For two, places like China, Russia, and North Korea obviously aren't 3d because those countries dont give us permission to analyze there country at every angle thousands of times (for good reason). For one, most of the non-3d areas are random countryside's or small towns, which makes sense, as it would take so much effort to turn a tiny little town in the middle of Canada to 3d, and it's not worth it. Unfortunately, the whole world isn't 3d, but that makes sense for multiple reasons. This is a great app and I'd recommend getting it. And yes, even though I didn’t pay anything I still feel shortchanged. I now know that if I had a desktop I’d be able to look at the moon and mars so I feel really gypped now. Overall really great concept but what I’m gathering from other reviews, the app particularly for iPad is super low quality compared to others. It is absolutely impossible to tell one country/state from the next with the impossibly thin tan line separating everything that, oh yea, is the same color that is used for most of the landscape. Also, it would be really enjoyable (and easier on my old lady eyes) to be able to make borders bold or different colors or even cut out a region to view it individually. You can’t adjust any type of visual settings so if you zoom too far in on, say, China, you get a million different location names in English and Chinese and you can’t even see the land under all the text. I am terrible at geography and thought this would help me with a class I’m taking but I was mistaken. It’s like they took what they were in the process of developing years ago and just threw it up without even looking at it for a quick review. It takes a lot of disappointment for me to write reviews but this app is just so flat. Not Even Basic App Comforts (2020 iPad Pro) ![]()
