The UI definitely got worse.

About two weeks ago I was unable to switch to Street View in the android app. It simply wasn't accessible through dropping the pin, as it was in the past.

When Google's flagship app on their own platform forces me to find computer and use the web version, something is seriously wrong.

The first thing you should have seen after updating and adding an address is a message telling you to pull up to get more detail. It took me 2 seconds to figure out how to get street view in the new UI. So as I said subjective.

One week ago, it worked.

Two weeks ago, it didn't. I even googled it, how I'm supposed to find it. The street view strip just wasn't there.

It's unpredictable. Nothing subjective, just seek-and-hide UI, which was always hallmark of bad UI.
