Google Earth is one of my most used and most favourite desktop apps of all time, however on a phone it is not nearly as good, lacking some basic and much used features. The most important of these is the ability to view high res photographs of the Earth at different points in time. While the phone app does have a 'timelapse' feature, it uses very low res pictures and a clunky interface and isn't very useful for most purposes. This is very disappointing and hardly seems worth installing over Maps

Google Earth used to work well, except for street names being shown. Currently, when I click the little street view dude, no blue highlighted roads show up, anywhere for any street. Also, street names and other labels don't show up even when the option to "show all" is turned on. Off or on its just as blank. Google Maps works fine, but I prefer to use Earth. Google maps only when I need directions not for exploring. Did Google disable street view?

Google Earth is the most used app I have. I and many others spend a considerable amount of time on this app. It seems that it keeps going from great to farther from it with each update. From the reviews, many others share this feeling about the latest updates. One of the features I wish would be brought back it the zoom feature with the photos on Android.
