Reviews for Google Play Games

I have read that it's a issue and ya'll will look into it.. Whelp, it's been in my upgrade section for 2wks now and I can't move it. So let's go ahead and make this your 1st priority and fixing whatever to get it off the upgrade line. It's frustrating when you get a notification for something that won't go away! Other than that good job on the games;)

Says it needs to update Play Games in Updates. I try to. Starts, then quits on its own and shows it still needs an update. When in the app store, it just shows open or uninstall - no update. Doesn't seem to affect anything else but is incredibly annoying that it won't clear. This has been going on since October, please get it together and fix it already!

For as long as I've used it, has been totally reliable for backing up my game data and profile for compatible games. Sometimes it's a bit wonky with auto sign-in, and I feel like it doesn't always tell me when an achievement is earned. Also fun that it comes with some simple games like minesweeper, solitaire, and snake that are available offline and can play anytime. Overall, a well rounded gaming app 🖒

It has all games listed, but they no longer work from here, and your play isn't calculated towards any of your profiles. I fixed the payments from the old account to the new account. It reverted back after the update, and now I can't make purchases again. What's the point of the app again? Always crashes. How can I clear the cache when it disappeared and NO option to reload? It's funny that they always respond the same way across all platforms. Clear your cache etc. No duh

I tried out a new game and it now says that I need to install this app to save progress. From what I've read, this app does nothing but create or compound problems. I only played the game for one day, so have not invested any money, no great loss, but I enjoyed because it was not a straight up cash hog. You could play without investing your life savings. Now Google has come up a way to get more $$ via 3rd party software from a game they initially offered/sponsored, talk about dbl dipping.

Pretty useful app if it actually works all the time. I logged into a game with my Google Play account, and it kept saying something like "Login account data sync unsuccessful. Please login later" until it brought back half of my original progress. HALF. That is frustrating already, but soon after the game logged me out again with the message stated above. And I play another game which can't even connect to this app, but when I go into Google Play Games, I see achievements for that game.

I love the new dark theme! Can you make it possible to follow friends? I have friends I follow on Google Plus but they still don't show up in my friends list on play games, it should just be possible to search people's gametags and follow them. the only reason why I cant give 5 stars is because of the difficulty to have friends and followers. I feel like it would be an expected feature to be able to search and follow friends and players. having friends make it better

I've been using points for in-game purchases for years. Today, for the first time, I bought a Google Play credit. It was only for $1. My in-game purchase was $0.99 + tax. They will NOT let me use my credit and charge the balance...play credit basically wasted till I get at least one more but that will be way over the actual purchase amount. GARBAGE. Not worth buying play credits. Buy them through the game app or specific game credits only or you're screwed.

Ignore the sniveling crybabies. This game can be played for free without draining your account. If you want top of the line on your first day then yes you have to pay. if you work your way through the levels you can get what you need. Fun game with good layouts. No issues, so far. Some of the players are not very good, but soon figure it out. Like Mikey says try it you'll like it!

Games suddenly won't open. Edited: it's been about a week, and nothing has changed. I've tried clearing cache, restarting phone, and deleting/reinstalling app, and nothing is working. Clearly, from the reviews, I'm not the only one with this issue. Deleting app if not fixed in a couple of days...what's the point of a game launcher that won't launch? Edit #2: there is no change. I have cleared cache, deleted and reinstalled, and my games are still not opening.

Things were going well until I tried to use the app today. Suddenly, to my surprise, every game I tried to play through the Google Play Games app would not play. Thought something was wrong with my device. Uninstalled, reinstalled, cleared the cache and data storage and nothing. Decided to check to see if anyone else was having problems and saw that Google said they implemented a fixed today, but now it has stopped working on my device. Hope it's fixed soon. Can't wait to rate again👍

I really like that there's a hub for my games and others with lots of information. Until recently, I would have given this five stars but the achievement system has been broken for months. Achievements still pop, but a list of them (both the ones I unlocked and the ones I had yet to) used to appear when I clicked on a game and they haven't for awhile. Even after multiple updates, this feature still has not been fixed. I hope this gets fixed in a future update.

UI is awful. Search is awful. Recommendations are awful too. It's like they'll never show you new games in the Play store unless you buy some games. For a company that's roots go back to being a search engine, the play store search is terrible. The categories are fairly terrible as well, especially new games and top games. You'll see new games that have been there over a year or more. Top games that can't even break a three-star rating.

It's great if you want to play your game on multiple devices. The con, it doesn't automatically sign in to your saved game when you log in. I have to manually do it after the game loads, then the game has to reload, and guess what It doesn't work the second time or the third. 15 minutes later I'm in. I spend about $300 a month on this app, I shouldn't have to deal with this.

Really annoying! There are a few games that I really love to play however, for the past month or so whenever I try to play them it's a nightmare process if I even get to. And the support desk kinda helps but not really. Change my date, change my time, clear cache, restart, etc......but it doesn't always fix it. I've lost points, money and some of my sanity trying to have the patience to work through it almost every single day! Also, the stupid update won't clear off from my "needs to be updated

I agree with Molly Nepil on 2/8/24. My games have stopped launching in the app and look to not have the saved security attached. Searched for solutions, but I am afraid that I will lose my level within the games. 3 of which I have been playing for many, many years. I've had to start again because of a similar experience, and when you're spending cash, this is not cool!

As many others are saying, the app is staying perpetually in the download list. I've sent screenshots to CS, but their unhelpful response is the same as for others & never answered my question about if updates caused it to be unusable by my phone with Android OS 10. If it helps at all, the product page only has "open" and "uninstall" options. "Update" is not an option, and the app works fine, so I don't think it needs an update. Pls get it off our lists, though. Thanks.

Nice place to play games, glad they fixed that update issue! There's a lot of fun bite-sized games available, but don't get super attached to any of them. Sometimes there's no difficulty options, sometimes they don't have enough / updated levels, and sometimes the pop-up ad gets in the way of the game play (there's a ball bounce game where, when trying to resume the game, it's hard to get your rhythm back after it's paused like that due to needing to keep your finger on the screen).

Does what it's meant to, helpful for saving progress on some games, I cycle thru games often so it's nice not having to start all over. Currently, it refuses to update, ik others have mentioned it but I feel the need to as well. I honestly just wish it was compatible with more games, most games have other ways of saving data so it's not a huge deal.

From the first time I starting using my new phone, I had problems with this app. it couldn't load my account and all the time it was showing an error which was saying some settings couldn't be loaded. I used to clear updates for this app and the g.p services but it didn't matter. The app wasn't working at all! suddenly it started loading my Account! and after months of functioning, it's acting like the first time; saying that you have go update google play services, but it is actually updated!!
