User Reviews

The reviews are overwhelmingly negative. Most users report the app crashes on launch or won open on iOS (especially after iOS 18), blocking access to Google accounts. Authentication problems are common, including passkey/login failures, issues with QR sign-in, and NFC/YubiKey integration. A small minority say it works as advertised, but overall reliability is poor and users want startup crashes and login issues fixed.
Pros
  • A minority of users report that the app works as advertised.
Cons
  • Crashes or won open on startup, especially after the iOS 18 update.
  • Cannot log in or sign in due to passkey/authentication problems on iOS.
  • QR code sign-in and Google authentication do not reliably work.
  • NFC/YubiKey passkey support does not function correctly on iOS.

I cannot login without using a passkey that I have never created. I click to use another method to login, and it only gives me the option to use a passkey. Tell me, how am I supposed to use a passkey that doesn’t exist? How have you just decided to lock me out of my own account even though I have all imaginable credentials to this account minus a non-existent passkey?

google simply does NOT need access to every bluetooth device I own. I will NEVER use this utility. time to switch to Tuta, or Proton, I think!

I miss the old two factor. This garbage and Google alike think that I’m going to somehow scan a QR code to sign into my email while I’m holding my phone as if my front facing camera can scan a code on my screen. I can’t sign into anything hardly without going through an endless loop of garbage. Negative stars if possible
