PLEASE bring back Google Goggles. If you want to offer this an alternative that's fine, but it seems most reviews agree with me that Goggles worked better in terms of functionality and seemed to have more features than Lens. In Lens I can't seem to find a way to search based on a picture stored in my phone. I've used Google Goggles many times to help family members discover information about artwork/tapestries/etc and we've always been ecstatic with all the information we've found through Google Goggles. I used to be able to take a picture of the item and then put the pic into google goggles. With Google Lens there seems to be no way to put pics in for searching. The tapestries and paintings that I need to search are located in an area where I have no cell service, so having Google Lens search it real-time is not an option. Please bring back Google Goggles, it was much more user-friendly, seemed to have more options in terms of application, and not that this matters but the name was much more catchy than Google Lens. Thank you!!!

This app simple opens up with a "coming soon" message. Replaces the working goggles. If it's not ready, than don't force the upgrade.

Useless app. Only thing it says is # something went wrong..#

Powers off Nexus 5 as soon as it starts; it's as useful as pulling out my battery.

Hello Google, I now own an LG G7 Thinq, which has Lens baked into it and assigned to a hardware button. Lens doesn't work correctly with this phone, I can't switch the camera due to lacking functionally. I have two separate cameras on the back of this phone. It is very difficult to take a picture of a landmark with a macro lens. Google please stop replacing things with less functional versions of them. Goggles let you upload a picture from your sdcard. This doesn't.

Loved goggles. I took a photo earlier so that I could identify it in goggles later on. Now that they've replaced it with lens. I can't do that. I used goggles all the time. This new app is useless to me. Way to ruin it for everybody, Google.

Black screen only. Doesn't work galaxy s9

Try to take a picture of a QR at four or five different angles it still couldn't figure out what I was trying to take a picture of

Lens can be summed up with "ehh..." It's not terrible, it just doesn't really... do anything interesting. It's essentially a glorified reverse image search with Google's added labels. The attempts to identify virtually anything are mediocre at best (wow, you can identify the Taj Mahal, thanks) and are often wrong. It can at best distinguish between some animals, but has rarely been able to be meaningfully precise. OCR is often patchy. In summation... Ehh.

Google Goggles actually worked. This does not. All lens does is try to figure out what merchandise the picture might represent and it tries to sell you something.

Has some cool capabilities compared to it's predecessor, Goggles - and finally handles QR codes again - but I miss the image recognition from Goggles (i.e. being able to look at a photo or painting and find information about it on Google)

How is this a replacement for Googles? It's so limited and can't search by an image which was the main reason I used Goggles.

Crashed every time I tried to use it on my Note 8. Doesn't look like it searches for pics like Google Goggles does which is what I was hoping for.

Important Msg to the developer: In the beginning it was ok. But now, Really it's irritating... Not even recognise some normal things correctly. Especially, instead of using only cameras of the phone, why can't u add an option to look up the gallery images...? I think surely it'll bring a good improvement to this application. Pls do it as soon as possible and don't let us to wait...

I wanted to aks something! I have a LG G6 and in it's camera says that it supports google lens but it may not work on all languages! I have my phone at english and i still can not enable it! What can I do to enable it? And i want to say one thing the view finder of Google Lens is awful!

Sucks! This is just plane trash. Bring back goggles

Bring back goggles. Lens is horrible, and does not work.

Wouldn't work on my one plus 6, rooted, oxygenOS 5.1.9

It's really cool to see photo recognition! One day I was not sure about an anime character! I took this lens app and it gave me the details of the anime character 😎✌️

I don't understand the decision to replace Google Goggles with this downgraded version of the app. 😒

The reason I used goggles was to identify objects etc. This told me " looks like copper" and that's all! No images to compare it to. No web results. Nothing to help! BTW the object isn't even close to copper!! Extremely annoyed!

Goggles app forces you to install this instead, but it doesn't do what Goggles does. Take a picture of a barcode and it doesn't know what you were trying to do. Worthless.

Why does Google keep doing this. Something works. Leave it alone or improve it. Stop breaking things.

I download this to help in my project by converting image into text but it not workes it was not capable like goggle... Please google provide those wide feature to convert image into text or please bring that google goggle app back. Please

Not very functional and accurate. Features seem half baked.

This app sucks. It doesn't work for anything and I like goggles better. I tried barcodes, bugs and other stuff I find at work and it could recognize anything.

Supposedly this app replaces Google Goggles yet the 1 main use i've always had for Goggles was to translate text within an image already on my phone as opposed to taking a live picture or highlighting within a site and this app does NOT do that and so is an AWFUL replacement being forced onto existing Goggles users who have been stopped from using their existing app which actually worked!!

Horrible. I cannot search what I need AT ALL. I expect more from lens than goggles, but in fact it's a version or application much worse. Google, what's wrong with your engineers? Did you not pay them enough so that they decided to screw up lens and make it a joke?

Me: takes a picture of a spider. Lens: that looks like an insect. Me: [muttering] thanks for more useless info Google. I miss when Google made some that worked & we're helpful.

You need to split Google in to two categories 1. GOOGLE FOR THINKERS 2. GOOGLE FOR CLICKERS Some of us need more complex apps. We kick butt with this stuff. Give us more. Link it all up for us. Like hook up maps to goggles to guides to etc. Make us Omni users with more interface adaptability. We have gadgets and gadgets and gadgets. Too much GUI time and configs. Let us lay out our system and go. Less nuisance updates, less banners and steamers, more RAW interface. Three other version, just keep doing what you're doing. Every time someone in that category finds something useful, make it harder and charge them double. They can't even do a power cycle to save their life or device.

Google Lens only allows you to search using what's in front of you. Google Goggles allowed you to load an image on your phone. Goggles was a great app, lens not so much... No reason to disable Goggles for an inferior app.

There are no real directions. Is there a bug? Seems stuck in 1 area, won't proceed.

Couldn't even read a basic QR code that goggles could and even the text was incomplete.

Try to search a picture....tells me it is an LCD screen.....wrong ...it was a plasma screen...and not even related to what I wanted to search for

Pomysl okay. Ale wiecej przy urzytkowaaniu slabo poza tym na BlackBerry key2 dzialal po aktualizacji przestal dzialac. Pojawia sie komunikat o bledzie I o tym ze za jakis czas bedzie dostepny. Dramat.

The worst idea to come out of Google in a long time. the simple fact that can no longer scan gallery photos makes this app utterly useless and a waste of time.

At first I like the creative part of it. But some information is not helpful.

I don't get it. Goggles worked much better. It actually worked. This thing does not.

Horrible!! I have the LG g7 thinq and lens doesn't work at all. Each time I try to use it it can't recognize anything. Always say try again. Smh.

This app should be perfect based on Google standards. The search by image on Google had to be the starting point for this app, but Google dropped the ball. I'm trying to find the name of a movie by this app, the capture showed a man holding a knife by his face - the suggested result was footwear

it would be nice if Google could come up with an app that does everything including things like QR codes and barcodes which this doesn't appear to do. Why should I have to open multiple apps to do different things?

Forcing to switch from Goggles to Lens when you cannot even look up pictures taken outside the app... What the heck Google?

This makes a sorry replacement for Goggles. I tried running Goggles but it had been shanghaied by Lens. I was hoping the awful reviews were wrong. But they are absolutely true! Seriously, you replace a functioning app with a half asked broken one? I expected better of Google.

Bring back Goggles, way more useful. Not being able to scan a photo is a big step backwards. App freezes frequently

Used to use goggles, which did everything I wanted. Can't see how to import a photo from gallery, only seems to work for live images.

I can't scan existing pictures. This app is not worth my time.

Goggles wasn't broken. Google fixed it. Lens is broken. No import image from gallery, and Lens can only recognise QR codes for about 3 seconds on the second Tuesday of the month, and the recognition dot disappears when you move the phone slightly to press the dot. Then apparently never returns. Ever. Switch Goggles back on Google because Lens just isn't ready. FAIL.

It basically Goggles in it's first version but just revamped, and not compatible on even very recent phone, for instance LG x power 3. With Goggles you could use it for stored pictures you had previously taken, and you also had an history of past searches. This app doesn't not have all this. I still don't get why Google loves to kill good products for less useful ones ! Improve the existing one or keep the old one alive until the new one has bridged all feature gaps. I really hope Google will fix up this mess and do what it needs to have this app at the level of comparability and with all the feature Goggles had.

WOW Lens can now OCR -\u0026gt; Better than G👓 (read ⅞ info on a blurry sharpened phone charger pic - missed NC code, but weird font). Thanks for adding select text. OK deleting G👓 -\u0026gt; Lens has got enough Use/Neural Network Learning to do the job - yet-to-try live translating of foreign text like a menu (obviously latin characters - maybe only top 6 languages). Others say photo recog is iffy, but ∞-1 is why. Don't know if sharing to G-Lens works yet - just use G Photos to scan. I'll have to try similar images [ Yes Lens needs network access, But it's not like I have a supercomputer in my pocket - yet - 24th century, maybe :) ]. So complainers use G-Lens MORE so it learns & give feedback with the ≡ menu if it's wrong. ★★★★★

Why cant i search pictures we have in our gallery anymore??? Sad

"Thanks for updating. Lens will be available soon." What a troll app. Everytime I open it I get that message. It's been saying that for days now

The app tells me that it's unavailable at this time. I have a LG V20 verizon phone.

Buggy mess, crashed so hard had to reboot phone. Also removed goggles feature to use a picture taken outside of the app.

This is the first product from Google that I have experienced that simply sucks. Never, not anytime, has it actually worked.

Nice app

Works fine on my xiaomi mi a1 with android 8.0.0. But I have had similar \napps and this one does not make it easy to first get a clear shot but often \nmakes blurry photos and then tries to recognize the blurry object. I think \nit has potential, for now 4 stars.

Works great on my Nexus 5x - with Project Fi Network! AI is speeding along \nthe web, learning more about the universe than I ever anticipated! No need \nfor my device to "wait up to a day for the App to work", as stated in \nGoogle App Overview... Hope peeps that rated this App poorly read this part \nin App description before leaving a low rating? I can't stand when I see \napps rated poorly due to peeps who didn't read & heed info?! Wish they knew \nhow obvious it is for anyone else to see that a poorly rated App was left \nby someone who simply didn't realize they used App incorrectly... or their \nown "user error"?! Each rating shows the exact device and if OS was old for \nevery rating on any App!

"This app will be available in the next day", but it has been saying that \nfor more than a week. Need this error fixed for a more accurate rating.

I have a Xiaomi Mi A1 with Android 8.0.0 and if this app worked fully I \nwould give it 5 stars but when I open the app, it says 'google has stopped' \nand the same thing happens when I open it on a minimised Google assistant \nso I have to open it fully for it to work. Please fix this!

It keeps saying "app has stopped working" on my LG G7.

I'm using this app in mi A1 and it's working flawlessly 😍 thanks to \ndevelopers and we want a stable version and some new things to add-on in \nthis app for the future phones...

Why put out a app that doesn't open. Note8

Every time I open it keeps crashing

Was working properly on my XZ2, after the latest update, crash the Google \nservice every single time I open it through Google assistant.

I have Xiaomi A1 and it works just fine now, it can identify things pretty \nacurate love it!

Crashes before it even starts.

Doesn't recognize most of the items

Crashes right away on Galaxy S8. Was working fine before the update

Not working..Just Crashing..

Last update spoiled an otherwise improving app

Finally it works on my nexus 6. It definitely need some improvements. It \ndoesn't recognise celebrities pics and most of the time shows different \nresults.

This application does exactly what it says. Lookup barcodes, learn about a \npainting you see on the wall, analyze text or search the web for whatever \ntext you see on a sign, business card.... endless possibilities. Great work \nDev Team!!

Damn it. Let me focus on objects first.

I cant use it it shows that lens will be available for the next day am \nusing mi A1 with latest android oreo

Latest update crashes and I have to restart my S8

Try to open it and it just crashes the Google app. Joy.

Google is forcing me to let them record my voice.

Why must we wait till the next day? I've never had an app say that.

Using Mi A1, not able to use, Says, will be ready to use within next day.

Was able to identify several plants while on a hike. Would like to be able \nto store results for checking later

Helps me to identify places.😃

Just updated and still not working on Xiaomi Mi A1.

It's pretty rough now but I am sure that like Assistant, it would become a \npowerful tool in a few years.

What is wrong with these retards giving 1 star. Go buy apples.

It's by no means perfect yet, but we're getting there.

Doesn't work on the Note 8. I opened the app and the screen goes black.

Not available to my device honor 9 lite Please fix it soon

Everytime I try to open the app I get an error code. LG v20

It doesn't even open. And I have a Pixel 2 XL. Talk about irony...

It's not like a phone made by Google should actually work with a Google app

I get a error that it isn't available. I downloaded on my Sony Xperia XZ \nPremium

Soon as you open it, it just say that you is not available.

Installed but not opening. its saying error google lens not available and \nclosed automatically

USELESS, I want to uninstall this app!

Please make this lens happen in moto z2 play. I cant open the apps yet.

When opening the app after installation an error message pops don't the \ndevice isn't supported

I get an error of Google Lens is not available on my Google Pixel XL phone. \nSo this Google app is not available on my Google phone?! When did Google \nstart mimicking Apple? Get your act together.

As soon as I opened the app it said "google lens unavailable"

First time I rank one of your products so low, the app RIP off of Bixby \nvision and it active my spotify

Installed, got error Google Lens is not available
