Google Maps Receiving Tons of 1-Star Ratings Due to Lack of Changelog in Today’s Beefy 5.3.1 Update

Update: Changelog! Now put those pitchforks down.

  1. See your Location History dashboard if you’ve enabled Location History for Latitude
  2. Check in at “Home” after setting a home location in Latitude
  3. Add your own aspects (e.g. service, music) about places when rating them
  4. Version 5.3.1: Fixes for Latitude’s automatic check-ins and “Manage your places”

Well isn’t this just about the weirdest thing we’ve seen from one of Google’s market apps? They’ve apparently issued an upgrade to Google Maps which clocks in at 5.3MB. What’s more is that no changelog is included – something that Google usually doesn’t forget – and there are no noticeable changes within the app itself. Thus, market raters are damning Google’s free navigation and maps utility to a plethora of 1-star ratings until they ‘fess up. We’ll certainly be contacting Google for a comment. [Thanks George!]
