Accesses GPS data even without permission to do so. I understand Google bundles location with WiFi to mask their privacy eroding mapping of access points via user devices for the high accuracy mode they annoy users about enabling, but if "Location" is turned off in app permissions its pretty skeevy for a Google service to immediatly access gps location the moment I enable it. Google, this, and many, many, MANY other reasons, are why people do not trust you. Its because you cannot be trusted....

Takes up too much space and no matter what you do, clearing the catche and the data, soon the app will take up 1 Gigabyte of space. Can't even access it to see what is taking up all the space. Takes up battery like a 15 Gigabyte app. Also doesn't allow you to uninstall or disable it if you want too even though you should be able to. Half of the positive reviews for this app are talking about an entirely different app.

No doubt Google Play services provides support for apps to functions optimally. I recently got a new phone after my former phone went blank for days and remained so while downloading an attached document to my email inbox. I was happy that after setting up the new phone I was able to read some new mails and download their attachments. This joy was shortlived as that ended in just a day after that. Four days and counting it kept telling me that Google Play services is updating. What do I do?
