One of the few Google apps which is actually really good. I have used it to identify obscure parts in order to be able to repair or replace them myself. If I want to use it I have to borrow someone else's phone. It's the only thing I miss about Google. I am definitely not surprised about the behaviour you speak of though.
I haven't used it in a long time. Will it not work without Google Services?
I am not sure; I've not tried. I degoogled my phone and I've not tried to put it on there since. It's just banned completely. :D
