App tester having problems loading items from Google API

I have an app that I built using Expo and its' only external internet-based dependency is the Google Places API, which it uses when the app is loaded and when settings are tweaked. The app requests use of location services then proceeds to use it in an axios query to fetch some bars nearby. I am able to run it without issues on my iPhone and on Android emulators using Expo's local deployment options. Any idea what might be going on here on the testers' end?
