Pros and Cons

So, what are the pros and cons of the Google Earth app?

Pros

• Roll the dice: Use the randomize feature to let the app take you someplace new.
• Share postcards: Wish you were here! Send "postcards," snaps of where you visit on the app, to all of your friends and family.
• Knowledge cards: Be in the know on cultural and historical factoids.
• Voyager: Choose where you would like to go on an adventure next.

Cons

• Blocked out: Much of what is on the app is blocked out. Only same areas offer clear views.
• Outdated: The scenery and streets have not been kept up to date.
• See too much: Not interested in seeing creepy dolls and signs? Be warned, you may see them via this app when you zoom in. Current app users have pointed this out, and some feel it ruins their immersive experience.

Conclusion

We can barely find fault in this app. After all, it lets dreams and traveling easily become reality. While those who are looking for an in-depth look at other destinations and countries, from their own backyard to further afield, might be slightly disappointed, for those with even the slightest sense of the travel bug, the Google Earth mobile app is well worth an install.
