#1 hate is I can't open images or pages in new tabs, if I tap and hold on the outer thumb I just get the option to save that thumb, if I tap and hold on the link in the preview I get nothing at all. That makes browsing multiple images painful.

#2 is to view the meta data that's "free" on normal GI you have to click through to the preview and start downloading it and other images at a larger size. Images has lots of shitty, spammy websites gaming the results as well as poor versions of images available elsewhere larger, seeing that info was always useful to me.




Thanks for the feedback! Both of your grievances are legitimate issues. The reason why we didn't support those use cases on iPad is because they are power user features.

Pro tip: If you scroll to the bottom of the page, you can view the desktop site by hitting "Classic". Happy Googling :)


When I scroll to the bottom of the page on my iPad, Google _conveniently_ loads more images. It's like a cruel joke.
