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...

Did not recognise the object

Want Google goggles back

Very easy to use this app. and informative

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

Not useful

I have tried this app 3 times; once on a toy, and twice on, 2 different, plants. The toy received zero results, and the plants' results were all incorrect. WORTHLESS APP! No better than the lousy goggles app!!!!!

It doesn't work. It says thanks for updating and will be available soon

Destroyed Google goggles app ... This app is waste . totally waste...

It should recognise face......and must have to update based on region.

Its amazing app

Best food

Total spam. Irritating. Obnoxious

It works very smooth,BUT i need more improvements.

Awesome app

its nice and all but they should make this a standalone smart camera app for taking photos with auto selection of what it is to help take fast quick pics and use the google now one for the shopping scanning etc.

No option to identify people online.

Awesome App keep it up.

100% satisfied with this app. Thanks to Google for listening our request and making biggest improvement (i.e sharing ) in the app. Deserves 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. It would be more useful if we are able to copy the desired text content rather automatically selecting entire text while copying from image.

It sucks, doesn't recognise 99% of things I tried and keep offering to copy text on items instead searching for the item

Works whenever it feels like

just need to improve

Awesome... It keeps improving every time I use

It should identify people , places etc..

Love the text selection feature

Started using..... Looks very interesting...

It's an initiative I've long awaited for from Google! It seems to only tell you more about where to buy more than what it is you're trying to find out about... But great, nonetheless🙌🏾

Not working this app. Scanner of bar codes is pathetic..

It still doesn't recognise many objects.

Very useful for searching and describing the little things around my house, like nit nacks, old furniture, and antiques

Give me a shutter and focus button to capture the image properly , also if it is a camera app , i would replace that for my stock camera app

Awesome, easy to use. I can scan the image and make an call, copy the text.. ect. Very useful

Every day I see message: " You'll be able to use the application starting with tomorrow"

Not even close to old goggles. Want that back

Like all apps there is room for improvement but overall it's a great app.

It's getting improve by updates

No on-screen capture support.

Need development

Good and useful,

One star less because one feature still missing and that is pre loaded images support (bixby vision has ability not to scan only live photo but can also scan images available on phone or downloaded) this help to extract text from images in gallery. Well otherwise its a great app. Just a feedback ;)

Currently, Lens is severely underrated. I have been able to identify a couple of animals and plants which is truly amazing.

Very cool idea but it doesn't really work with math. But works very well with spelling vocab. Also very good with homework besides math, just basic math like 2 + 4 works.

It works nicely but, more importantly, you can notice wonderful speed of improvement.

I think it's gone be big ai for android users in hand

Need to identify a picture, not just from the camera, a picture from a friend or the internet not just from the camera

Needs improvement...

Does not scan saved pictures unless you can put them on another device. ( Needed if cropping confusing extras).

Doesn't identify the objects. Please fix.

Photo is identified but options are not being clicked i.e. Search results are not opening

I love this app, works great for me. I recommend this app 100 percent.

This application is very impressive

Very useful

Doesn't work as well as Goggles. Seems to only return shopping results and that's IF it even correctly identifies the object you're scanning. Doesn't return any search / wiki results to help you identify object, only shows you products that looks similar.

Just took a trip to Carcassonne, France. This Medieval City from 600 BC was just Unbelievably Incredible to say there Very Least. Lens was Quite Useful in Many different ways especially when viewing the Yellow Paint on a part of the City Wall. Turns out Lens AI knew it was a celebration of the year it became a World Heritage site just like my home "town" of San Antonio celebrating it's 300 years founding. Fun Fact : SA, Texas gets over 6 times the number of tourists than this Pristine and Wonderfully Intact Older, Much, Much Older Priceless Walled City from the years of 600 BC in the very South of France near the Spanish border !?!

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. 😒

It is not capable of recognising many things i expect some improvements in future

Please include people recognisation...

Useful for many things. Still has scope to improve.

Recognises almost every thing.

Great step in the right direction

Really fun technology

Developing app

I love it

It's alright. Goggles seemed to work better. I feel if you are going to replace a app, it should at the least work as well or better than the previous one.

Works well on most things. It's been very helpful with identifying plants and nature.

What is this app? Didn't know it was on my phone or how to use it or how to access it, Found it when Google play was updating

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.

Its a great app although it would be awesome if a widget is made available for the shortcut of qr/bar code scanning.

QR/baecode reading could be better.

Picture to text ASM

Very good app with nice features

Good app useful I love it

It is an amazing apps. I love it.

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.
