Google Chrome – The Fast and Secure Web Browser App Reviews

Ive used this app for years, and after updating, I cant even access the app. I uninstalled, reinstalled to no avail. Im not sure if iPhones OS update or the app update is responsible for this... It looks like I can access w/out freezing/crashing if I dont sign in to my account, but that defeats the purpose of why I liked it before. Please fix!

No audio in background = worthless

So, for some reason its really really laggy now.. switching between tabs and clicking links has a big delay. And worst of all, i used to be able to (since this app was made pretty much) listen to youtube while in another app, and even recently i could listen to it in other tabs now i cant... please please fix this :/

The latest update has made a good browser into one that is very poor. It lags noticeably when opening or closing a tab or when clicking on a link that opens a new tab. It still crashes on certain pages and now Ive even seen it completely freeze. So much for stability fixes.

I thought it was just my phone that is acting weird but seeing other peoples reviews made me realize that the latest update made the app slow. I use Chrome to play music in the background but because of the update, I can no longer do that. The video buffers and plays normally when I am on that page but as soon as I leave it, it buffers again and stops the current video. The app also has a delay on clicks; whenever I press something on a page, it takes a few seconds to register and load. Before the update, the app functioned like normal when I first got it. What happened???

Since this most recent update the apps been constantly freezing. I cant even use it anymore and have had to resort to using safari. Come on google fix this joint. Smh my head

This is the first bad update Ive have from google. Incredibly slow for opening, updating pages and changing between tabs. Avoid the update.

This app is pretty good, I have no complaints :)

In order to promote their subpar app, YouTube Red, they removed the option to play videos in the background: a function even safari can do. This is simply annoying and an inconvience. No one wants to pay money to have such a simple task be available. No one wants your YouTube Red, google. Give us back old Chrome that actually worked.

Way too many crashes.....figure it out Google!!! Every update seems to get worse. Two thumbs down

Using iphone 6, after update, it becomes really seriously slow. Doubted my phone problem cuz its kinda old phone now, but only Chrome, not other apps. Please fix!

can no longer listen to audio unless the app is open and on your screen

New update disabled the ability to listen to YouTube while the app is in the background. I used chrome for this after safari did the same thing. Shame to see them follow in their footsteps.

with the ability to listen to YouTube while your phone is asleep gone, you might as well use dolphin browser now.

Try to search your history. Chrome will crash every time.

I was a huge fan of the Chrome app until very recently; Im positive that I am not alone when I say that this most recent patch seems in no way intended to improve the app, but to reduce accessibility to Youtube in an effort to increase revenue from Youtube Red, a paid subscription service that unfortunately capitalizes on a resource that was, until last year, completely free to users. This patch is a simple act of coercion, and I would strongly discourage anyone considering subscribing to Youtube Red from doing so, as it would just be a cession of more power (and money) to Google over consumers. I used to think you were cool, Google. What happened?

Crashes all the time since last update. Anytime I click a link or open a new browser window the app crashes.

YOU USED TO BE ABLE TO LEAVE YOUTUBE ON AND CLOSE THE PHONE OR USE OTHER APPS AND NOW YOU CANT!!! ???

Since the update, when searching in my History, it crashes. Its very sluggish when scrolling webpages and when I tap something, it thinks Im holding down my finger and doing a press. Browsing the web in Safari works normally, so unfortunately I wont be able to use Chrome anymore. :(

Starting the app takes a while to load. Swithching through tabs takes a while to load. Loading a new link takes a while to load. Scrolling down a webpage takes a while to load. Please fix it.
