Users appreciate Google Play Games for tracking game progress, offering casual games, and earning achievements. However, many face a major and persistent problem where the app refuses to update, remaining stuck in the update queue for extended periods. Other common issues include problems signing into games, lost progress syncing, intrusive ads, and inability to clear game data. While support is sometimes helpful, many users report unhelpful generic responses. Overall, the app works well when functional but ongoing update and sync bugs significantly impact user satisfaction.

Deleting data does nothing. I have gone through so much data deleting here, there, everywhere. No matter what I do, I can't simply restart a game. It's driving me away from gaming apps all together. So frustrating. Thx for responding, but I know the issue. The apps are given their own data that can't be cleared without contacting them directly. I still think it makes Google services look bad that there's no data protection.

After almost 3 months they finally fixed it! 🤦‍♂️ I click update on app and it disappears as if its going to update but then it just instantly reappears and says update. No matter how many times you click it, close all programs, reboot phone, and etc. It always does the same thing and reappears. The positive side is at least it didn't break/brick the program! It works just fine as before the broken update posted AFAIK. It just won't update so no major issue AFAIK. 🤷‍♂️ It's just annoying. 😅
