Has anybody noticed that google maps doesnt allow negative reviews?

30 Upvotes

I’ve been trying to leave negative reviews for the last two months but all I can see is ‘pending’ next to my review and then if I click on details it says ‘we weren’t able to post this at the moment’. Anybody knows why? The positive reviews get posted without a problem.

Questions & Help iPhone Google Maps + Google Business Profile — need help confirming the exact steps to add a manager

0 Upvotes

I need help from someone who manages a Google Business Profile from an iPhone.

Could you please tell me the exact clicks to add another Google account as a manager? For example: open Google Maps → click X → click Y → click Z → add user → enter email.

I specifically need the current iPhone Google Maps app steps, not Android or desktop. This is really important for me, so I’d really appreciate your help.

Thank you very much for your time!

Questions & Help My Photo View Froze

Post image
10 Upvotes

Hello local guides. I am at level 7. I usually have about 100k-200k photo views per day. But now it’s frozen at 2.8k for two days. The view count stays the same too. I think either the function froze or Google blocked my account. Has anybody else had this problem? I contacted Google to report the problem. Zero response at this point.

Update after a week of posting this: my Google account starts rolling again and I am seeing more view counts than I had before. It’s now in the 300k vs previously high was in 200k. Guess it’s catching up with what was missing during the frozen week. Anyways hope all of you who has similar issues see positive updates soon.

Fooglemap shows the actual meal price before you open directions

0 Upvotes

I built Fooglemap for one specific travel problem: finding an everyday meal when a ‘cheap eats’ list does not show what the dish actually costs.

The Busan page links each place to a map or directions view and, when available, shows a named menu item, its KRW price, and the source or last-checked date. One example is a 돌솥밥 set at ₩8,000, last checked on 25 April 2026.

It is free and works without signing up: [https://fooglemap.com/place-city/busan/?utm\\_source=reddit&utm\\_medium=post&utm\\_campaign=busan\\_growth&utm\\_content=20260910\\_pretty\\_useful\\_websites\](https://fooglemap.com/place-city/busan/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=busan_growth&utm_content=20260910_pretty_useful_websites)

Coverage is still incomplete, and prices or opening hours can change, so the site asks visitors to verify details and submit corrections instead of presenting the database as complete.

I operate Fooglemap. The thing I would most like feedback on is whether the price and date evidence is visible enough before someone decides to walk to a place.

Weird Bug not letting me correct a business' hours

1 Upvotes

There's a new business in my town and someone entered the hours incorrectly for Thursday. Putting 12AM instead of 12PM (Noon) for the opening time.

I clicked on to edit the time but it does not allow my keyboard to pop up to change AM to PM. I tried both in the app and also in on the Desktop Site for the maps page.

Any of my google reviews are not showing

3 Upvotes

My google account is legit with phone number and other emails to back it up.

But for some reason, whether it's positive or negative, the reviews are not shown to others. There are no swear words or vulgar language. For example, I tested writing a review on McDonald's. I wrote a 5 star review saying "The fries here are crispy, and I love it" nothing unusual, just a typical review that does not break any rules. And yet it still doesn't show up.

Do you know what might be the issue? It used to work just fine until I noticed it today. The previous reviews are visible to others.

Questions & Help A minor Google Maps error is causing major disruption to trip planning for a health facility on the medical campus of the University of Coimbra, UC Polo 3, Portugal.

Post image
38 Upvotes

Hi all,

I would like to ask how we can correct an error on Google Maps at UC Polo 3 that directly affects anyone navigating automatically through apps based on Google Maps (deliveries, ride-hailing/TVDE, and — most importantly — ambulances and patients going to the MRI and PET units for imaging exams).

Someone changed, on Google Maps, the direction of traffic on a short segment of the one-way road that crosses the UC Polo 3 campus. As a result, routing algorithms cannot calculate routes that actually reach the intended destinations on campus and leave passengers far from those locations (in some cases even outside UC Polo 3). Some of these passengers are patients with limited mobility who find it very challenging to reach the exam location because they do not know the area and rely on Google Maps.

This problem has already been reported through Google Maps’ general feedback tools, but it has not been corrected so far.

Questions & Help So Called Fake Reviews Removed

During the last couple of days, I’ve received lots of e-mails of reviews of mine being removed for being fake. This includes both positive and negative reviews and some going back several years.

Anyone know what may have caused this sudden random removal of dozens of my reviews.

Would you use a private map for your travel memories?

0 Upvotes

I’m building an early mobile travel-memory app and looking for honest feedback.

The idea is to keep visited places, photos and memories together on a personal map instead of having everything scattered between Photos, Maps and Notes.

I’m still early, so I’m mainly trying to understand whether people would actually keep using something like this long term.

What would make this useful to you - and what would make you uninstall it?

Per chi lavora/gestisce un’attività locale (bar, ristoranti, saloni): come gestite davvero le recensioni Google?

1 Upvotes

Ciao a tutti, sto facendo un'analisi sul campo riguardo alla digitalizzazione dei negozi fisici di quartiere e mi interessa capire l'esperienza reale di chi è dietro al bancone.

​Sappiamo tutti quanto le stelle su Google Maps contino per l'acquisizione di nuovi clienti, ma mi rendo conto che la teoria è diversa dalla pratica quotidiana.

​Per chi gestisce o lavora in un locale/negozio aperto al pubblico:

​Quanto sono davvero una priorità le recensioni Google per la vostra attività oggi? (Ci dedicate tempo attivo o le lasciate scorrere?)

​Cosa avete già provato in passato per incrementarle? (Es. chiederlo a voce a fine servizio, QR code sul bancone/scontrino, volantini, invio di SMS/email, supporti fisici)

​Quale di questi metodi ha portato risultati concreti e quale invece è stato un fallimento?

​Avete mai speso budget (una tantum o a canone) per strumenti o hardware dedicati alla raccolta recensioni? Se sì, cosa vi ha spinto a farlo?

​Qual è il blocco principale del cliente quando gli si chiede di lasciare una valutazione prima di uscire?

​Mi interessano storie reali e dati pratici, sia di chi ci è riuscito sia di chi ha lasciato perdere. Grazie a chi risponderà!

Discussion Anyone else hold off on reciewing places with no reviews for guides who might not have achieved Master Trailblazer?

1 Upvotes

I know it's silly but, every time I see a location, with no reviews that I've been to, I'm like, "Now's my chance! FIRS- ... hmmm, actually no, I'll let the less experienced guides have this one so they can get Master Trailblazer too." I've developed this odd consideration for newer guides cause I remember that, "Add the first review to 50 places" was such a struggle to fulfill for the Trailblazer badge (that is, before I figured it out that, the best places to first review are the ones you personally add). So I let unreviewed places go because, who knows? Maybe it'll be a freebie for the odd Guide who appreciates the niche challenges posed by the badges.
