Find the exact date when Google Street View cars captured those images of your neighbourhood. The picture of cities gets updated but the land pictures remain the same as the original image google earth could be so much better if everything was updated when new images are loaded. I give google earth a four star mainly because I can see a satellite picture of the outdoors and see what it used to look like on my iPhone even if the image shows 2022 I know it is an older image because we visit this area quite ofen we still use this site for a variety of reasons one being whether certain land is public or private gated or not on certain image’s land shows drought when it is actually full of water I’ve been seeing this same image for over 7 year’s. Google earth I’d like to be able to see updated pictures of not only cities but also the outdoors even if I was charged for this app I wouldn’t mind. 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)
