The embodiment of enshittification. Even if you pay, be ready for ads in the inbox, ads all over the UI pushing features that are only available at the most expensive subscription tier. It's the greediest company, with the worst app experience in return! Outrageous pricing, bad ux, frequent server connection issues and bugs, etc. This app is awful and only gets worse and more user-hostile with each update.

The app is in a horrible state, it's virtually unusable. Nothing's loading, 95% of the time I'm using the app, it gives me errors about it not being able to determine my location, load any profiles, new messages or anything else, really. The only thing which works without any problems are ads, and popups which cover the UI, so you can't close them without opening the ad. The downfall is saddening.

Ridiculously expensive, insanely laggy and often doesn't even connect to the internet. You have to keep reloading it over and over, and sometimes it *still* won’t connect, so you end up having to clear the cache just to make it work. Too many ads, especially the ones that appear in a small box at the top that won’t go away unless you click it and get redirected to their subscription options. This app is really infuriating. I hope Google takes action against this app.
