Dropped a star due to a change today or this weekend (was fine last week). I use Lens through the Google Search bar on my phone all the time to read QR code for secure login. It used to open straight to the camera view; nice, neat, quick. Today after clicking to open I have to then click 'Open camera'. What's the point of it being in the Google search bar for easy access when I've got to do a few clicks. I can't figure out how to restore the old functionality. Online suggestions not applicable.

Suddenly removed the browse button to select different folders to look in for the photos I need. I utilize folders extensively and so all of a sudden I can only access the most recent photos, which are lumped together regardless of where they're stored. So instantly the app becomes unusable for me. This will likely be the beginning of the end for me with Google services.

Honestly, I love the concept of this app but haven't seen it's true potential thoroughly.I say that mainly bc it manages on focusing on something in the picture but not the main focal point. For example I placed something on my knee to look into, and it brings up "June bug" that's barely in the format, I just rather enjoy it and get a laugh. So I can basically tell you "it likes to remind me of the minute things, we take for granted". In the digital age you got to slow down and don't forget...
