Google Assistant App Reviews

Amazing! But.... I love the google assistant! It’s great! However it would be even better if it had a hot word on iPhone. As of right now it only works in the app but it would be awesome if it worked outside the app. But it shouldn’t be ok google because the original google app uses that and they would conflict. It would be cool if it was something like “hi google” or “google assistant” and so on. But over all, this is the best ai experience I’ve come across. It’s useful, open, takes advantage of the google search engine, user friendly, unique, and has a slight charm and an almost a human personality and realistic interface.

Lots of promise--some bugs. Very much enjoy using this app. It replaced Siri on my phone for many tasks, including sending text messages (voice language recognition is much better). Nonetheless, some buggy app behavior forced me to abandon it for the time being. Most annoying in my case was a bug interrupting music etc everytime I was on Bluetooth in my car. Assistant's voice would break in with something along the lines of, "Sorry, I'm not able to do that right now, you can do that on your phone." Over and over. Once I removed the app, this behavior stopped. I'll wait for a few more updates before trying this out again.

Ever Evolving Google Assistant. If you understand how to use Google Assistant to its’ full capacity, you will be impressed with what it can do. I find no competition out there. It is a learner AI, so part of ur interaction/relationship is your own responsibility how it develops. Like anything else, the more you use it, the better you both get. If you wan to bark orders, expect not to grow just the same as any human relationship you are rude to. I love it and look forward to developing and learning all its capable of doing with me. Bravo Google Team!! Much apprech of you efforts.

The best Assistant. Even before I had an IPhone, the google assistant to me was pretty great, the fact that it had games, and a variety of sets of things it can do aside from setting alarms, checking the calendar, the nearest restaurant, google maps and stuff, it was a whole bright amazing experience. But then after I started using an iPhone, I discovered more reason to love the google assistant even more, to the point that I am even downloading it on my iPhone right now because it’s way better. Massive Thanks to google for this assistant, I have Zero complaints. Peace

SOOOO AMAZING I LUV THIS!!!. It has everything from games to work. Google assistant can do legit anything u ask her/him and definitely eat more than Siri. Goggle Assistant actually has an answer for anything u say. It’s the most entertaining and helpful app ever. Too lazy to get up and turn on the AC? Google assistant has it under control. Need a new background of a waterfall? Google Assistant will load you up. Bored? Google Assistant got a bunch of games and riddles up her/his sleeve for you to enjoy. Every single person in the world needs this app. I highly recommend it more than anything!

List is harder to use after update. Catch up one of the primary things are use Assistant for is my grocery list. Prior to the last update it was easy to use and easy to find but I cannot open it from the main screen any longer I seem to have to use voice commands in the grocery store and checking off items is hard to do and added more steps and frustrates me every time I try to bring it up the rest of the app I would give five stars but since this is one of the primary things are use it is becoming harder and harder to use with each update

Google Home is Awesome!. I think a lot of people go into these systems with crazy high expectations or set their system up backwards, like buying cameras and the a smart home system and then are disappointed something doesn’t work the way they wanted. For our current level of technology, I have been VERY pleased with what all Google Home has to offer. The Google Assistant is there to remind me of upcoming appointment, researching topics, music...etc. I intend to get my mother a couple of smart bulbs so that she can start utilizing hers for better security when she comes home.

Almost perfect.... I have the date of birth of my siblings on google contacts. Most of my family’s information is on their contact page (birthday, addresses, relatives, nicknames etc.) and an issue I’ve always had is that google assistant doesn’t really take in contacts information. This feature would definitely be helpful but by default this should be disabled (prompt to access contacts) because it’s other peoples information. I hope this feature is taken into consideration and other than that the app works fantastically!

Fun app. I downloaded Google Assistant app almost by accident. I didn’t even really start using it, it started using me. Started giving reminders for stuff it shouldn’t even know. But after clicking on to it a couple of times it got to point where I was on it daily to multiple times a day. How it has all the information it has is amazing. I’ve been reminded of birthdays and payments that were due and numerous other things. Sometimes it is a life saver. Reminding me of birthdays, anniversaries and more. I really enjoy the daily fun facts and jokes. I highly recommend it.

PLEASE add setting to keep assistant from repeating task back to me. It’s so annoying and surprising that Google didn’t think to add a feature in the Assistant settings for this. If I ask my Google Nest to turn off some lights, I don’t always need to hear “GOT IT. TURNING OFF THREE LIGHTS.” It’s even more obnoxious if the speaker is set loud and it’s nighttime and you’re afraid you’ll wake someone up. There should be two separate volume adjustments—one for the Assistant’s voice and one for music/media playback. I like Google’s products but it’s really an oversight that they’ve never implemented this. It’s probably intentional but it really ruins the experience using it sometimes. Would feel way more like an Assistant if it just did the simple task and didn’t redundantly repeat the task back to me EVERY time. Maybe have a ‘Brief’ setting that gives shorter confirmations, and then one that’s just silent. And then the regular setting which would be what it is now.

Amazing… with so much more potential. I remember back in 2015 when I was working on the google search team on the “sound search” feature, and the team beside us (who was working on the google home) let me try out one of the first versions of google home. I was blown away. I dreamt of being able to do this stuff as a teenager- coding x10 lights to turn my lights on and off so I would actually wake up in time for my classes. Now I just told google “talk to myQ to close the garage door” But somehow. Bc we recently turned on content filters so our kids couldn’t simply watch any YT video, google replied with “I can’t talk to myQ while the content filters are on” Really google? There’s sooo much potential in this to become a platform of choice My kids who can barely touch type have been able to ask google type search questions and learn information bc of this google assistant I wish it could learn faster…. And be more customizeable

Needs a lot of work. Way better than Siri for all the functions that Siri does ... search, texting, etc. I wish they would stop redesigning the entire UI every couple releases though. But when it comes to Google Home integration it’s awful. Buggy. Crashes when editing Routines. Cannot even create new Routines. Very little works as designed in terms of home automation or integration. Don’t know why this app comes up when I choose ‘More Settings’ in Google Home app. More awful app integration from Google. Guess I’ll wait to see when or if Google fixes the millions of bugs that make their product only function at about 5%. Do better.

Has Potential but Falls Short for iPhone 6 Plus. Does not have the ability to wake from sleep when plugged into my car which means that I have to wake Siri to open the Google Assistant App while driving my car. Does not have the ability to silence my phone or take it off of silence because it is an iPhone. The only time it is useful is in the morning when I click on the microphone and say, “Good morning Google.” At that time it follows the routine. I have gone over every setting and it does not provide the hands free usage which makes it useless. When I ask for it to tell me the weather or traffic, it pulls up the websites. It is no better than Siri in any way and is actually deficient because I can use Siri hands free while driving. I can wake Siri with, “Hey Siri,” while it is plugged in and can tell it to send text messages, read text messages, open apps like music, notepad, etc. Because I use Google for most things, I was looking forward to the Google Assistant but rarely use it and am likely to delete it.

Brenda Judy.. I love this app I know I am going to be able to get my Facebook page back from Facebook messenger page. I also like the idea of the new help for me as I am 80yrs old and I have no one else to help me with anything else I appreciate you sharing this with hopefully more confidence in my life as well as I do need help with this I hope you have a good day my friends thank you for letting me join this weekend I hope you have a good day god’s blessings for all of you ..

Use it everyday, but wish it had more. I really love the Google assistant and it would be a dream come true if it could be my default assistant. However, I feel like this app could give me some more info on my day or some more controls over my household. Also, the really weird interfere for googling something though this app makes me never Google through it anymore. Also, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DARK MODE!? I want dark mode in every app, and I was so excited when we got it here! Please bring it back! Anyway I really do love the Google assistant, just wish this app gave me a bit more.

Siri has no purpose anymore. When I first got this app, I loved it. I never had a google home or anything, but I guarantee this is better. Like, everything in one place. I love it SO much. This app is probably my favorite now, because it is so organized and easy to use. Plus, if u want to talk to Siri you have to activate it, and do all that stuff that will waste your time. I can find dinner recipes, translate, and do all that stuff. I know I might sound like an ad, but I’m just telling u the truth.

5 stars 1 request. I’ve put 5 stars here because I think the assistant app is great. I have only one request....that they figure out how to let you change the reminder alert tones. It’s very convenient and quick to voice command a reminder for any time any date (even if it’s a year in the future, but the only alert tone available when you get your reminder is a 1 second chirp and it only chirps once. Pretty easy to not hear it. Please update the app so there are more reminder alert time options including repeat alert after 2 minutes. THANKS!

GREAT...as long as it works. I absolutely love this app, but far too often it seems to be kind of frozen when I first started so I have to close it and then re-open it and then it works, and it seems to need a lot of data for some reason which doesn’t really make sense since all it really does is a Google search and that should not take much brain power from the phone. It may have to do with how I have an iPhone, and sadly google and Apple aren’t friends, so us customers have to pay the price of their squabbling

Great Alternative to Siri. This is my go to when Siri isn’t functioning properly. I love that it provides a Snapshot of upcoming bills, events, ETA for my route to work, etc. The only things I’d recommend is creating a Snapshot shortcut on the Google app or even as a standalone or a widget for the Snapshot feature and also adjust the settings for Google to be an automatic default assistant for text messages whenever Siri is malfunctioning so that the assistant can send hands free texts and allow the user to be safe if driving or be able to perform whatever it is they need to do.

The little things always forgotten. Googles assistant to s a hot mess, making so many mistakes,like not catching on to small but daily idiosyncrasy s of mine , what I need it TO DO FOR ME. worse than in uncaring spouse that I almost don’t want it. It doesn’t listen ….oh let me sum it up. It’s taken on the personality’s of the creators I’ll bet. Talking back, not listening, refusing to cooperate with repeated SAME question, if it doesn’t LIKE the question , refusing to obey orders it’s spoiled and fussy and often falls asleep when I need to to wake up, won’t until I practically knock it off the table by accident touching the screen that hard. The Google Assistant , my first one has way less uncomputer like personalities. , like a wrongly picked partner who was nice at first and then it’s real personality comes out and it’s mean sloppy rude and not even that smart. I want a divorce.

Amazingly better than Siri. If Google assistant has the IQ of a Mensa genius, Siri has the IQ of a turkey. It’s unfortunate that a 3 trillion dollar company such as Apple (that overcharges us for everything) has the malice to interfere with the normal functioning of Google apps on iPhone. For example, the microphone often has issues activating Google assistant. This has been going on for over a year, and it is an issue with iOS. Since getting an iPhone my ability to use voice dictation has been reduced dramatically due to Apple’s subpar voice recognition and buggy software. I miss my Google phone immensely.

I can’t believe how this assistant isn’t worth a zip. First off this assistant Is worthless and I don’t understand how anyone gets any kind of help other than the stupid erroneous repetitive answers constantly given. At least Siri is honest and only knows how to respond with “I don’t know” to everything. Ask a straight forward question and get such stupid answers so far from the main topic of the question is just not acceptable. In a way it’s a good thing it’s a stupid bot because I would not stop till I found it to prevent it from causing anger and frustration ever again to anyone else. Better yet it’s not necessary to throw your phone against the wall. Freakin ridiculous!! If your looking for a good test to determine your anger and frustration level I strongly recommend getting assists you’ll find out real quick.

Everything broke upon update probably. I try to get support from Google Home support and they blew me off. I haven’t heard back from him. Google Assistant and Google Home stopped working properly at the same time two or three weeks ago. Google Home says I can't recognize my voice whether I have a voice match turned on or not and won't interact with my tile finder which is called Phillip's keys. I am Phillip. Google home will also not call my phone number anymore so people at home can't call my phone number through Google home. My wife can't walk so this is important. I've uninstalled every Google app I can virtually and reinstall them after removing all my devices from home and re-adding them. Google assistant says I can’t locate TWO THING when I try to locate my Tile finder. The tile app works fine . I have unlinked and reed to several times to the tile service or whatever you call it. I’ve gone online deleted voice profile profiles redone my voice profile disabled voice profile, and even with voice matching disabled it says, I cannot verify your voice when I try to locate my keys on Google Home. I mean, it makes no sense and it used to work the more Google updates. Things is the worst work.

How to edit my weather notification subscription?. Google assistant do not understand what I am asking about editing/removing weather notification. I could not change/setup the time for weather notification. There no remove/cancel option for notification at specific time. Also notifications works randomly at whatever time assistant wants to sent you a notification . I set weather notification for example for 6:00 pm everyday, but I got notification at 11:17 am , or 4:26 pm, and never at 6:00 pm. So pathetic app. The only one way to fix weather notification is to use for this purpose Google Pixel. Same problems with random notifications I have on all android/apple devices. So I just removed this app from my iPhone. Problem solved. Google cares only about your searching data and locations you’re moving/visiting. Google overall don’t care about your needs.

I love it so much more than Siri. For the user that wants it to tell your daily reminders or your whole week at once you can easily add it in your routines. It’s as easy as saying “good morning” and it tells your events for the day. It will send texts and play music and read you the news and tell you if there’s traffic on your normal commute all with one command “I’m up or Good morning”. You can even tell the app that you are on your way home and it will text whomever you have it set up to and or broadcast to the speakers in your house to let everyone know that you you are indeed leaving work. It is so much easier than telling Siri to text each person and telling her 4-5 times just to get “one task done”. Even dinner is ready and it broadcasts to the kids rooms or phones just set it up. This is A+++

HELP!!!!. I love this app so much, I truly do! I use it for many thing such as work, cooking, knowledge, and sometimes even for fun, but there's a problem...A GIANT ONE I can't seem to ask it some sertain thing, for it'll say "Sorry I can not do this at the momment please get started so that I can get more information to help you" then it brings me to this thing and it has a button that says "Get Started" I honestly really REALLY want to "Get Started" but it won't let me. I've tried so many times and pressed it so many times, but it still won't let me do it. I have even tried resetting my device, checked my settings, updated to the newest version, and I've even tried going to the Apple store. This is how much I really want this to work PLEASE TELL ME WHAT IS GOING ON, HELPPP MEEE!!

Other than a lack of live support, it is the best, and almost perfect. A recent update caused issues with Routines, which could not be addressed through live support because Google does not offer that for this service. However, after three weeks, the issue has been fixed with the most recent update (which does not acknowledge the bug), returning this to the best digital assistant on the market. If Apple allowed native integration (or even remapping of the power button to summon this app), I would never use Siri. Once an equivalent of Alexa’s Brief Mode has been added, it will be worth five stars.

Way better than siri. I recently needed to do some projects and used Siri it get information hands free, however I found out that it is very limited and only reads info from Wikipedia, I can barely even show some pics! Then I got this app, and I'm impressed by Google answer to siri. The "ok, Google" feature works 99% of the time for my horrible accent and the voice is very cheerful and fluent. Its ironic that a 3rd party application does better than what Siri can do. Information is usually on pint and the new connecting with Chromecast is very useful. This app a nessacity is all iphones and should be kapt in the iPhone dock. Theres is literally nothing wrong with this pp for me other than the fact that accessing it is harder than Siri. This app and gboard is perfect t combination for your iphone.

Better than Siri, but needs work. I find Google assistant to be much much better than siri when compared side by side, but it still could be improved upon. There appears to be no way to edit text if the voice recognition gets a qurstion wrong. You have to either repeat the question a few times until it gets it right or type it in manually. If it is just having a problem recognizing one part of a long question, having to type the whole question manually is frustrating. It would be much better to just have an option to edit the one word the speech recognition got wrong. This is annoying, and is soemthing siri does better. This is a total Siri killer.

Siri who?. seriously, google assistant is way batter than Siri and Alexa. shes so helpful and has so much personality which is kinda ironic for a bot. shes fun and i love her use of emojis and sound effects. the only thing i would suggest is that google gives her a name or nickname, like how Siri and Alexa have. when you ask “whats your name?” or “what can i call you?” she simply says that her name is Google Assistant. i have tried asking if i could change it or give her one but its not something they allow you to do. i feel like she should have an actual name (because saying “Google Assistant” is a bit inconvenient and i'm sure everyone else would agree) otherwise we should have the option to give her a nickname just like we’re given the option to tell her to “call me ___” or “my name is ___”

The best ai. To be honest this works a lot better on Google pixel why because it’s super fast and very creative and acts like a human she has the best thinking and skills if compared to ChatGPT pro google Assistant takes this one just because of the machine, learning detailed answers and just better overall very open minded but on the iPhone, it seems a little bad but on the Google pixel top gold actually move to the Google pixel seven Pro. It was cheap unlike iPhone but also gives a nice display and features but also if you compare iPhone to all the androids I say iPhone would win overall but Google Assistant on Google pixel 7 pro is probably the best assistant ever by the way, way better than character AI and signing up is just too easy and easier on the Google pixel 7 pro

Needs to be iPad Native. Google Assistant is really nice to have on my iPhone and iPad. It does some things better than Siri, some things worse... mainly it’s more fun but less useful than Siri, but that’s mainly due to lack of system integration. My main complaint with this app is that it doesn’t run native on iPad. Seriously, at this point what excuse does an app have not to run native on iPad?? Apple has made it extremely easy to scale apps up for the bigger screen and higher resolution, and for an app with as simple of an interface as Google Assistant it would be rather easy to make it run beautifully at fullscreen on iPad using UIKit and AutoLayout. They could also optimize it for SplitView rather easily as well, which would be extremely helpful when multitasking. I hope they get on that, because it would make this app so much better!

Frustrating. The worst part is not being able to delete their stupid default “Routines”. Or at least give me the ability to disable them and hide them from view. Really annoying having to go in to each one and remove all the actions just to make them obsolete. Yet I still have them cluttering up the interface. It’s also very frustrating to need so many different Google apps. Why do I need Home and Assistant just to get some smart plugs to turn on and off. And then I need the Nest App to control the thermostat. What a clunky way to make things “smart”. Google needs to streamline all this for iPhone users. Of course, this problem would easily be solved if Apple wasn’t so stingy with its licensing, allowing for more third party hardware folks to incorporate HomeKit.

Calendars!. This app could REVOLUTIONIZE how I use my phone and automate my home. But, my work uses Outlook and thus I need to use outlook calendars and events and this app just won’t handle that. It also won’t sync with any iCloud calendars. It only works with its Google calendar which is absurd seeing how even the Google Calendar app will work with all other calendars. But because this app drives the Google nest hub and will only work with one calendar form, that means I cannot use it for my nest display, or my “Hey Google”, or my Google routines. I still have Siri around, but I don’t have a hub and screen for Siri! I have the Google hub and screen, but my calendars won’t work. I hate everything. We are well into the new century, we can figure this one out. Either Google makes an app that reads app calendars for their hub, or Apple actually makes a hub. I don’t care who does what. Just somebody fix it.

Could be improved. This app is almost perfect, I really enjoy Google Assistant so much more than Siri or Alexa, the interface is clean and easy to use, and I actually enjoy using the app and find it fun. However when I ask Google what’s on my calendar, it does not list everything that’s on my Google Calendar, just the things that I have entered through Google Assistant. (For example, if I create an event through the Calendar app, the Assistant does not read or recognize it). I also wish that there was a way for Google Assistant to list all events and reminders when asking about my day. I have to ask separately “what are my events this week” and then “what are my reminders this week”. If there was a way to see everything at once that would be great. All in all, this app is the best personal assistant I’ve used so far and I highly recommend it.

Needs improvement. While i think it works fine there are interactions that I don’t like. For example, having to say “hey google” every time. I’d much rather just be able to say “Google, turn on the lights”. Also many times I will say “hey google” and wait to see if the devices heard but they never have any feed back, like “yes?” Or “how may help?”. Adding these makes it feel less like I’m just talking to myself and more natural. And when it hears the command it always should repeat it back such as “Okay, turning on the lights”. Also the app has a significant delay in communicating with devices. It needs to be sped up a bit. Also not being able to use the app while my phone is locked is a huge down fall. I currently have a shortcut set up so I don’t even have to touch my iphone. Simply say “hey Siri” “turn off the lights” and through the shortcut in the iPhone it communicates with google assistant and is the equivalent of saying “hey google turn off the lights”. However it currently only works when my iPhone is unlocked. If it isn’t the command either fails or ask me to unlock the iPhone which defeats the purpose it all.

What went wrong.. I had an iPhone 6s and I used this app with my fossil watch and it worked great. I got my text messages and phones calls and reminders and all. But then something went wrong with this app. I did an update and then it stopped working. I was no longer getting my text messages. Everything else was working fine. So I removed the app and then downloaded it again hoping it would work and it did not not. So then I thought maybe it was my phone because it was an older iPhone and the app was updated maybe there were some changes and my phone just was not getting it due to being old. So I upgraded my I phone to an iPhone XS Max hoping it would work. Excited to get the app downloaded and updated and set up my watch to my new phone and nothing. Still no text messages. I was very disappointed. I just don’t understand what went wrong if it was working fine before. Please go back and check to see what you did a few updates ago that changed to not receiving text messages any more. With every update I have hope that I will get my text messages again and still nothing no text messages coming in. That is the only thing that is missing from this app update and I don’t know why or what happened to stop receiving text messages. Please bring back the text messages so I can use this app again with my I phone.

Everything Home/Assistant related has diminished in quality. I have owned Google Home (I guess Nest now. Google likes to change the name of its products and services a lot) for 3-4 years and it seems as if like many of Google’s projects, they are putting it out to pasture. But this is a review on the Assistant app. Every time I open the app, and I do mean every single time, I have to immediately close it and open it back up for it to accept my voice request. Open the app, the microphone gives me the visual queue that it is awaiting my prompt, it does not acknowledge my prompt at all, I close the app and reopen it, then it works. After that initial annoyance it’s ok.

Assistant is the best.. I love the app, because it is accessible to the blind and the visually impaired community I also like the fact that you can also make it reed some random stories to you, that way you can come up with some crazy ideas, and even going to some amazing adventures with the assistant as well. There are no issues here to be found whatsoever I will continue to love the app as much as possible, thank you guys for your service and please continue to make the app officially accessible to make some new improvements into the future, thank you.

Does NOT work well with Xbox One X. I downloaded this app because it advertised that you could connect to an Xbox console and use voice commands through your phone to do everything from turning it on to open apps for you. First problem I had is that it doesn’t open the proper game you ask for, for example : “Xbox open Call of Duty Modern Warfare” rather than trying to open the new 2019 Modern Warfare it tries to open the original game Call of Duty 4 for Xbox 360. Second problem I had was even following all of the instructions of putting instant on so you can turn on or off the console from the app it does not work at all. Third problem I had was that it takes anywhere from 5 seconds to 5 minutes for the console and the app to communicate, for example: “Xbox open Netflix” nothing happens for 5 minutes and after you have already opened the app it causes the entire app to restart and kicks you out of whatever you were doing. Overall one of my least favorite google applications to date. Love my google home mini and every other google product I’ve bought has worked great, but this apps usability even compared to the google home app has been nothing but issues on my Xbox or IPhone X

Problem with Response. Today’s response was perfect, however, normally (98% of the time) when I request this selection (which I particularly enjoy), there is a problem. I make the request, there is a positive response from google but it never makes the connection. I wait and wait and then I repeat it all with the same response and again wait and wait and finally it will sometimes connect. Sometimes I give up and make a different selection but don’t feel this should be necessary. I also had trouble with one of your smaller round “auxiliaries”. It would only play one song from any of my Pandora selection and then turned off. I got so exasperated with it, I finally threw it out! No, I never replaced it. Hope this helps.

Unreliable, but has potential.. I take eye drops twice a day, a need to keep my eyes closed to absorb the drops for 5 minutes. I start off with “hey google, set timer to 5 minutes”, and it works well some times, giving me a “ding, ding, ding, ding, ding” when done. However, after 3 to 5 days, is stops responding when the timer pops. The only solution, so far, after an hour chatting with Google support, is to delete the app and re-download and install. I’ve been through 6 iterations of this cycle. Siri is dumb, compared to GA, but it works consistently with timers. I’m done with you, GA; I’ll try Cortana or Alexa.

Good, but restricted by apple.. I love Google assistant. I use it in my home for home control, alarms, questions, etc... However the app on iPhone is restricting. You have to go through steps of opening it like a normal app (I know that's just an Apple thing) but what gets me is reminders and directions. I'll use my Google home to set reminders to do something but my iPhone will not pop up with that reminder at the location or time I chose. Likewise, when I ask for directions it says "I sent them to your phone" but nothing ever come through. I use to be able to get reminders and such on my iPhone but they do not come through anymore like they are supposed to.

Come on Google. Still no 3D Touch option for voice search on launch...?. The only reason I use Cortana over Google Assistant (and even Siri): Google Assistant still doesn't have the option to enable voice search/microphone on launch. I know you can say "Okay Google" but that's just an uncessaey step in my opinion. It's probably because Google hates Apple. Really though this lacked feature needs to change. The lack of a quick Google voice search upon laughing the application or a quick 3D Touch limits it's potential and functional abilities. Atleast Cortana can be launched with voice search/command right away. Although they're smarter than Siri, saying "Hey Cortana" or "OK Google" gets old. Sometimes when I’m in a hurry it's nice to quickly launch Siri or Cortana and get an response right away. I don't always want to Type to Assistant... (And correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure Google Assistang once offered than slowly removed the voice search as a 3D Touch Option for Google Assistant, shortly after the application became available.)

Lists. Overall the app is great, but I live off of my lists. I wish you could customize them a little bit more. With the grocery list a lot of times the items fall under the incorrect category. Even when they are named correctly. Just a small thing but irritating when at the grocery store having to scroll through the list over and over again to make sure that I’m not leaving an area of the market just to find an item on my list as I get towards the end of my shopping. Would be nice if you could pull/rearrange The categories according to what you would like to see first. (Example: when I walk through my grocery store the order is; vegetables and fruit, bakery, meat, dry goods, cereals and breakfast, baking, snacks, dairy, frozen.) I personally would like it better if I could rearrange the categories according to my walk through the grocery store. It would just be less stopping and scrolling in the isles. And I wish it wouldn’t allow me to duplicate items. Sometimes you forget that you already added bananas to the list… We have an Alexa as well and she says that it’s already on the list and does not add any duplicates. Again, I really do like the app it’s just personal preference from features that I appreciated from other apps and some feedback.

Unable to delete Family Bells- our bells are still going off (ANNOYED!!). Our family bells were enabled for school mornings and were helpful. However, google stopped supporting it and I get a blank screen when I try to go in and shut them off. It is super annoying because we have early morning family bells going off now and the kids are trying to sleep in for summer break. Support was no help and wouldn’t escalate my case! I asked for remote assistance and they wouldn’t do that either. So now we’re stuck with a bunch of bells going off early in the morning that we can’t turn off and it wakes us all up and it’s not pleasant at all! Google, do better.

Needs improvement. Hello, I would like to start off by saying that I have the google home as well. Truthfully the google assistant could use bug fixes/improvements on the fact that it cannot respond and or process multiple sentences at once (ex. Would be asking it multiple questions in one sentence.) Also can’t define government descriptions . Such as (ex. Policies or laws.) last but not least is the hassle of always having it plugged in. It isn’t portable. Billion dollar company but won’t listen to what the people want. Smh lastly is the display on the google assistant app. I think it should display porous of why you're describing or little-handwritten examples or drawings. That is all. Peace out🧐

Stop Spiting each other Apple & Google. The application itself works great and I’d use it so much more than I do, if Apple didn’t restrict the use of Google apps on their devices - especially wearables. Once there is a decent wearable market, I’m jumping ship from the iPhone and iWatch (I like them well enough on their own, but I need my virtual assistant to see my diary and calendar and nothing can unseat Gmail and Google Calendar as the best). In short, stop fighting with each other Apple and Google - I want to be able to use my Google apps easily on my Apple devices.

Latest update still doesn’t work. Requires a daily reinstall. App will open, but touch is unresponsive. Only uninstall will work. I depend on this app for everything around my home. iPhone 12 pro. I wish I could replicate the steps or send a bug report, but the app doesn’t register as unresponsive. Just won’t accept touch input and I can’t do voice commands. I tried to circumvent listening to news via the google home app, but it sends me to the assistant app, which just remains frozen. Seems to most regularly happen after connecting to the Bluetooth in my car, or pairing to a non google Bluetooth speaker. Other than that, completely unresponsive until a reinstall. All permissions are enabled. Would love to send a log file to help.

So far Google assistant is working very well but there are some problems I have encountered. I must say Google assistant is working much better than the way it was a few months ago it’s a lot more responsive on the iPod touch 7 running iOS 15 however there are some problems I have encountered like for example sometimes when I open Google assistant it will not use dark mode sometimes it will accidentally go back to the white light mode and it hurts my eyes when it does that sometimes it will go back to dark mode which also happens a lot on my iPad mini 5 running iOS 16 which is quite annoying sometimes you need to fix it as soon as possible I do not want to hear no excuses.

Smart assistant. I’m still learning but the grand kids think I’m very smart not going to tell them that it’s google who is the smart one

App update has made the google nest unusable. I understand that family bell has been discontinued (my family’s most used feature) but since a recent update, I can not even access the family bell to turn them off. Now, they are stuck playing bells no longer needed. As my google nests are also my wifi, I can’t even just turn the device off. Unless there is a fix soon, the hardware will be worthless. I have reached out to support already who have advised there is no current fix for this issue. With all the features being discontinued over the years, this purchase has been very regrettable.

Frustrated!!. Works really well at times but it also does stupid stuff. It stops streaming radio on the hour some days which frustrates me and there seems no way around it! I have reported this but no reply!

Google hacks you. So I am a big apple fan and and little bit google fan. But let’s get to the bad part recently I download google assistant and when I opened the I read the arguments and apparently it say it records every you say well you might be thinking what dose this have to google hacking well anyone who is good at hacking could get in it and see all your personal information and this is bad

Search changes. It would be much better if AI was incorporated into the search instead of just presenting a webpage that it actually bought up information that I was looking for. Having a webpage presented to me it’s not really providing me with an answer. Let’s hope technology improves with time.

Not for me Cisco.. Initially downloaded, along with some other AI apps, but this isn’t for me, and was deleted without any use. I wanted something similar to OpenAI ChatGPT which my accepts questions about any possible subject, can perform calculations, and is useful for brainstorming variations of scenarios. This doesn’t do any of that. Plus, I don’t like the idea of my speech being recorded and used for their own purposes, which includes human listeners. “But they don’t do that anymore”. Sure they don’t, and I have a bridge to sell at a bargain price. If this app is for the majority of people, then the standards have been rapidly declining. Are people really that inept that they can’t make a reminder, choose which music to play, or get the same weather forecast that can be found easily elsewhere? Lazy minds and idle hands. I am also not in favour of a few behemoth companies/individuals recording and controlling every aspect of one’s online presence. The other AI apps I use are completely free and don’t require access to anything. Goodbye Google Assistant.

Calendar add broken. I am unable to add a shared calendar to my google nest hub as the add calendar functionality is broken. We have a shared calendar and google home cannot access it because the assistant apps ability to add calendars is broken (spinning wheel of death and time out)

Talking to it. She gets me through my day routines a lot easier which is like a free talk everyday but not everyday, i love getting on my google assitant app to talk to my google assitant whenever i get bored before i start my break.

Great idea not the best execution. So far the concept is awesome. What it means is that 80% of the commands that you give it aren’t done as per the app states they are, but I’m sure over time this will develop into an awesome product

Excellent with Google home. My house is fitted with multiple google homes and I adore its features. However knowing I can now turn lights, tvs, music etc on via this app when I’m away makes it even better. I also enjoy sustains my shopping list from anywhere in the house to google home and then accessing it via this app. I could go on for ever about how user friendly it is. I have not experienced any major issues so far so have given 5 stars.

Hey Google. Google has frequently been activated by TV sounds. It is early days using Google on the Sonos speaker system but like Google, I am leaning as well. I wonder how the artificial intelligence wI’ll inspire me as time goes by

Google hmmm. I'm not a fan of Google's business model (collection of personal data to build personal advertising profiles) but App wise this one is very useful. If you spend time learning its capabilities it can help you accomplish tasks quickly.

Helpful. I find the google home very helpful, if I need a phone number of a local shop, it tells me right away. If I need to know anything, it looks it up and answers, so fast. Like I Can I feed my dog carrots, answer in one second. Magic. Love it.

Very good app. Google is smarter than Siri. But she says she likes skateboarding and surfing and she says that she sleeps and she says she is learning new facts about lots of things, but she says that she loves me so please download this app right now and do not be mean to her like Siri. Because google is much smarter than Siri so download this app now from the App Store and have fun with google and google might not understand what you are saying so so if you need help she will be there

Google Search. No matter what language you speak sometimes Google doesn’t always understand,Even if you try to speak slowly in English words.

Downloaded the app for the humming feature and it doesn’t work.. The app is up to date and I have troubleshooted it. It seems this is a problem on iOS devices and it’s been unsolved for a long time now. I’m disappointed in Google for not fixing this problem especially with the amount of ads they show, showcasing this feature.

G Assistant. Love it When it works. The problem remains that when I tried to use the Google Home app with it it shows how bad the Google home app is. It’s almost impossible to add devices in something that should be so simple

Routines - So Simple Yet So Far Away. I LOVE using Google assistant with my Chromecast and Google Home devices. I’m in the process of automating my house, but when is Routines coming to Australia?!!

My experience with google assistant. I find this is nothing like Siri and google assistant acts like another person that is always there for you. I would recommend this to everyone and google assistant can do a lot of things that other help systems can’t do.

Getting there. Starting to really love this app. The routines are the most used part of the whole thing, and are supper useful. The workday readymade routine is so good. I wish that I could create more like that one where there a multiple times of one day google talks without needing me to get it to start. As every week is different it would be good for it to speak when noticifations have been set for events in google calendar. I don’t always have my phone on me so for it to remind me to go without just saying you have a notification would be great. Looking forward to seeing what they do next with this app!

Reminders fail terribly. Reminder on this app, which lets be honest is probably the major use of an assistant doesn’t remind me at locations as request, can’t tell me reminders I have outstanding, or coming up at a location or the next day. Useless. Don’t use it for anything important

An awesome app. This wonderful app helps me everyday. To sending messages, checking the weather and playing music. There is nothing impossible for ‘the google assistant’. It is voice activated, and very compatible. It is free and helpful, who wouldn't want a small little helper everyday. The questions that you ask there is always an answer. It is very accurate and fast, there are many possibilities of the great thing that happen when you download Google assistant. This app deserves the best. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 5 stars

Siri shortcut doesn’t work.. If you set the Siri shortcut to “okay google” or “hey google” it will not work. Siri will just laugh at you. But as far as VAs go I couldn’t find anything that google assistant can do that Siri can’t, accept she has a ton more answers for random questions (nice touch). I’ll continue to use Siri only coz it obviously works a lot more seamlessly with iPhones, or any apple products for that matter. Thanks for sharing tho google.

Please add Apple Watch support. More smart devices support Google. The only way iOS can talk to these devices is by creating Siri Shortcuts that call Google Assistant. The issue is they don’t work on the Apple Watch as there is no companion watch app.

Problem with weather forecast. When I run bedtime routine I programmed tomorrow’s wether Used to dork ok But now the assistant tells me the wether at that time and also for rest of the night Not for day after Other than that all good

The best app ever!!!!. It’s so cool I can link to your devices like the google nest hub max and the google nest mini and more and it can turn on your lights and more! I love it and I have all the devices that they released and smart lights and other devices I have all smart stuff so you should get it!!!!!

Needs the New version. A few minor issues like the microphone is not sensitive enough another time is is too sensitive. I’m getting really sick of telling Google to do five things in sequence so please update this version with the routines in it like you have for the USA.

Thanks for this awesome app! 😁. Now I can finally chat to Google right here on this Assistant app instead of just having to find search results on the main Google app. You have really made my day. Thanks so much. 😃

Wow. Wow, this is just amazing. Sitting here recovering from semi paralysis, I’m smiling at the wonderful things that Google offers. Thankyou for providing such great information and helpful apps. You really have the market sewn up 👍

Can't do audio routines through phone anymore. The best feature of this was being able to set a routine so when my phone alarm went off, or a routine starter happened WHEREVER I was, the phone could play the audio (the news, reminders, etc. now it won't do this without a google home speaker or other external device. Now nothing works and only error messages pop up.

Better than Siri. I am a huge fan of apple however this Google Assistant seems to tell me more things and keep my up to date 👌👌👍👍

Does not work properly with google nest hub. Constantly getting “something went wrong. Try again in a few seconds”. Deleted app and reinstalled many times but still happens after a short time. Fed up.

Hopeless. It couldn’t even answer the question. Can you create an event on my APPLE calendar? It just keep it just kept on wanting to try and create the event. It wouldn’t actually answer the question and I tried it with several other things and it was useless. Don’t bother.

Our Groceries. This app is fantastic, easy to use in every way. Thank you a blessing in my busy life. 🙏🙏🙏

Suggestions for future versions. For the iOS version the app may benefit from a ‘complication’ so people can easily use the assistant with the Apple Watch. Also, would like to see accessibility of ones ‘lists’ within the app, as loading outside the app seems to get blocked. Not sure if other people would like it but perhaps emergency notifications (eg flooding, storms, bushfires) based on location, pushed to the user in emergencies. Yes it hopefully wouldn’t be triggered often but imagine google assistant and google home saving lives!

A good virtual assistant. I have being using google nest hub for 6+ months. The google assistant that comes along with nest has quickly learned some of my preference with respect to what I would like to listen during different times of the day. The auto playlist of songs has got better and better with time. I am hoping that the assistant is updated to provide contextual conversation capability soon.

Could have been so much better..... Key frustrations: The Shopping List takes forever to update/sync. I put things on it, get to the shop and they are not there. I tick things off as I buy, and they don’t come off the list until hours later. Reminders are a nightmare. They are too far buried in the App. I create (and close) many new reminders every day. Assistant is way too inefficient...too many steps to get to them....Apple does this better..... It is also really hard to edit a reminder, particularly if it is long and you want to change something in the middle of the reminder....Apple does this better..... Lists - it seems impossible to edit an item on a list. So, I have to delete and retype. Apple does this better. These are showstoppers for me, so I am deleting the app and reverting to the Apple apps.....

EVERYTHINGG IS GOOD except for one small bug. This is a great app, except that, everytime i open the app it automatically thinks i want to speak/ask a question verbally . On some occasions my hands are full or dirty and speaking is a good option. But 99% of the other time i do not want to use the speak function either because im in a public environment or if someone is near me and i dont want to disturb them/make the atmos awkward, smthg like that. Please make it so that you pick what you want without the microphone starting automatically. I type my questions most of the time. Thanks!

I am willing to talk to google every day but sometimes she gets a bit annoying. I love how she is funny

Amazing. Google Assistant is absolutely amazing! However, if google and Apple were to integrate the google assistant into an Apple device that would be even better! 5 stars!

Google Home Intercom. Very handy to broadcast your messages from anywhere!

Music on tv. When I asked google mini to play music on living room tv nothing happened but when I asked it to play music through chrome cast on the tv it worked?

Response issues. Google Assistant is s great help but... all too frequently there is a "failed to connect to requested feature" issue?! No idea why Google Assist can't deliver on it's first attempt?😳

WON’T WORK WITH QC 35’s. This is one of the most frustrating things I’ve ever had to deal with. I have literally tried every single thing you can think of. Eracing and reinstalling the apps multiple times, deleting the Bluetooth history or memory from the QC35’s even making a new Google account, powering down my phone countless times and all it says is “Open the Google assistant app on your phone and try that button again” PLEASE HELP MEEEE

really good assistant but apples rigged the game. The siri shortcut doesn’t work, it won’t let you change the phrase and if you say “ok google” to siri, she will just say something like “wow. awkward”. Otherwise great app, with apple put in some effort with siri though..

No Location. Doesn’t seem to be able to access your current location making any location based questions almost useless

So useful you forget you when you didnt have it. Extremely useful and intergraded app, like having a personal assistant

Thanks. It is really helpful to many things and instead of typing the big question I can just speak and it tells me many jokes

Family Bell keeps disappearing. Extremely annoyed that I have put too much money in Google Nests and the assistant app seems to have a bug that makes the Family Bell button dissappear constantky. I have to delegethe app and reinstall in several times for the “family bell” to appear for a couple of minutes before it is gone again. This was the entire reason I purcahaws 4 Google nests to keep my family on task. BEYOND frustrated. From what I have read online others are having the exact same experience.

Google assistant. Love love love..still learning things it can do but we have it all around the house and it’s perfect for us

It requires login app login every day. Everyday, when I am trying to use the Google mini speaker, it requires me to login. Is this a new thing? How do I fix it? It is so annoying.

Non mais sérieux. Google cherche vraiment à être partout quitte à profiter du manque de mise à jour de Siri pour sortir une application Google Assistant. En gros quand Google n’est pas pré-installé sur un téléphone il faut qu’il y ai une application dédiée à son assistant. Heu non mais sérieux là ?? À force d’essayer d’être partout les gens vont vraiment finir par en avoir marre de Google et de son l’assistante, en plus ça fait carrément préjuger t’a direct une fille. Bam ! secrétaire égal métier de femme bas dit donc ! Mais bon après ça fait son taf et là rien à redire sauf vivement iOS 12 et un nouveau Siri !

Seems to have really weak personality. Very excited to try out this new voice assistant app and have found it quite frustrating to use. I don’t know if my expectations for it were too high or if it is lack of optimization on my part. I would assume that, for example, asking the Google assistant to open and enter information into a new note in Google Keep would not be a challenging process and yet the app constantly cuts me off with results it seems unable to recognize the group open note in Google Keep or set new task in task as it is unaware of the rest of the software suite. I would assume that a multi billion dollar corporation like Google is able to put out a speed of software that is pre-integrated but if somehow I’ve missed some sort of settings that I need to do maybe that’s on me

Games are no longer available. I am so sad that I deleted my app and not downloaded it again because its games are no longer available.

No Voice activation. Google assistant definitely has more intelligence than Siri but it doesn’t integrate with my phone like Siri. Also, I would like voice activation (Maybe this is something that only Siri can do on iPhones?).

No Mac app version. No mad app version,stupid. N

Encore faible. Si tu poses une question tel que: que veut dire insulaire, il n’est pas capable de chercher dans son “petit” dictionnaire. Tu poses de dix fois différentes la question, il répond “isoler veut dire”. Incroyablement limité. Pour un produit google, euh, ça laisse à désirer. C’est quelque chose de très répétitif, il ne peut pas sortir de son rond-point. Dommage!

Google. Awesome

Needs a bigger screen. Of curse I love having the Assistant on my iPhone but I can’t take advantage on it on my iPad since its not optimized, it should since with a bigger screen means more cat pictures on the screen!

Useless!. Every time I try to use the Google Assistant app it’s on the microphone and I’m trying to look at something that was sent to my phone that I inquired about and when I click on that it blinks away on Google Assistant and all there is is a microphone so it’s totally useless! I found that only if the Google Assistant app is up and running on the phone and then I do click on the inquiry it does work, but that’s the only time it does work!

Love the Assistant. I’ve been using assistant on my Pixel XL,Now i’ve bought an iPhone. As soon I heard about Assistant on iOS,I installed it! Love it!

Great love it!. It’s amazing but could use a little more things and fun games but it’s the best my kids play with it all the time love it!!!

The girlfriend. Google

No Apple Watch app. Sure I can make shortcuts for Siri to ask google assistant to do things, but I have to unlock my phone to do that. Even more annoying is that is I asked Siri to use those shortcuts on my watch there’s no local app so again I need to pull out my phone to unlock it and open the app. I get that running commands in the background my not be fully compatible on an iPhone, but it could at least let me confirm things through my watch that’s tied around my wrist instead of needing to dig around to find my phone and unlock it.

I love it. I have been waiting for it on the App Store. Though it’s functionality is limited on iPhones, it’s amazing how well it picks my African accent. Siri almost always gets me wrong.

Cannot get the version for Apple Watch. I need it in my Apple Watch

Pronunciation. It would be nice if the city I live in (Regina, Saskatchewan) would be pronounced correctly. It rhymes with “angina” or “vagina”. It is the capital city of the province. Please have Google Assistant pronounce it properly.

Voice input doesn’t work. Pressing on the mic button does absolutely nothing

Lumière de salle de bain et autre aussi... J’aime bien cette appli la car je le trouve intéressante..

Local news not available. Set up a google routine, however local news is not available. They give some choices to add however none are local. Seems odd you can get news from 3 provinces over, or from other places on the planet but not from within a 200 Mike radius.

Google home mini. Useless as all get out don’t know why the hell this app is on billboard because it is no help at all

Soo Good!. This is so good! I love this app! Way better then Siri!

I mean…c’mon! What else can’t it do?. Move out of the way my dear office secretary, this one’s got your job. If only it would follow through my obligations for me I’d have nothing left to do! Right? So, at its peak performance this highly effective Ai systematic performer works away like a charm. And it’s charming to boot! Pun intended. That is all.

Pas de voix canadienne. J’ai téléchargé l’application et je remarque qu’il n’y a pas de voix canadienne. C’est très décevant

I love this app because I like because it’s assistant proof. And I like it well cool by

Older version was better. The new update is confusing. The buttons were easy to find in the older version

Review. I like it a lot better than Siri

Ditch Siri!!!. Google Assistant is incredible! You can make shortcuts with it, so if you say, “wake me up,” it wont originally play your Wake Up Playlist, but if you set a shortcut for if you say, “wake me up,” you can give Google Assistant the ability to play your Wake Up Playlist, even though she wouldn’t originally do that. She can send messages, tell jokes, and you can subscribe to daily weather reports, daily jokes and daily funny videos! Siri can’t even do half of those things!!! I definitely recommend Google Assistant over the native assistant, Siri!

Awful. Difficult to work with and family bell keeps going away.

Used to be better.. Not exclusive to this app, just the Google Assistant in general rarely finds any information for my questions. Usually, it just says that it doesn’t understand even though the question was very straightforward into the point. 🤷‍♀️ I used to use my Google assistant almost daily but noticed this has gotten worse in the last few months, to the point I feel I don’t need my Google home anymore.

has too much fun!. This is a very good way to make your kids and your questions

Thanks. Thanks

Works most of the time, needs a serious update to the future. It works 70% of the time but I feel think the Google assistant technology could use some updating. It was really advanced 7 or 8 years ago but it hasn’t really changed since then. With the improvements to Siri and now all the AI technology coming out, I’m disappointed Google Assistant hasn’t changed much. For example: -it doesn’t integrate with Apple texts, phone calls, Facebook messenger, or WhatsApp. -It can’t integrate with Apple reminders/lists or outlook tasks. -There’s no Apple Watch app to add Google Assistant. -It won’t tell you about your day unless you use Gmail for your calendar. -When I tell it to play the news sometimes the speaker keeps listening then hears itself/ the news anchor and then tries to respond again 🤦‍♀️. -I can’t bring up TV shows with a verbal prompt once you have multiple profiles set up in a streaming service. Like why can’t I match my Netflix profile to my voice and my husband match his profile to his voice? Or why can’t we say who’s profile we want google to use? -Recently the alarms will ring once and then the display will continue to show the alarm but there’s no more ring tone/music playing. -Sometimes I get a prompt on my phone from the assistant app asking if the right device responded. When I click the notification it never takes me anywhere to actually answer that question. -Almost weekly my partner and I tell the Google to set an alarm just to find out later the alarm was never set.

Fantastic. It should work stand-alone on iPhones

Not supporting Apple music. Can you please clarify if there is a plan to add Apple Music to GA music services or not? If yes when?

Yum. Pizza

Assistant. Awesome

Best app even better than Siri. I have iPhone still I have google assistant best app

So fun to play with. She really helps you and she knows a lot. You can make funny jokes and do a lot with her.

was good 5 years ago. its an ai now? THATS WHY ITS ACTING LIKE AN IDIOT because every time i say something, it just says "i can search that for you"

Bien. Il manque quelque fonctionnalités c pas 100% assistance Google

I love google assistant but.... Can you make it so the Siri shortcut for google works on HomePod please!

Google. Who wouldn’t like googles assistance

Better in iOS 18 and ipados 18. I can create an vocal shortcut in ipados 18 and I can us AssitiveTouch to be a google assistant button and in ipados 18 you can turn off Siri when you use vocal shortcuts

I loooove it. It’s amazing!!! I love that she can sing (no offence but she sings better then Siri) she can sing happy b day and other cool stuff... I also love that u can play game with the app and listen to FREE music

Open Your Eyes. Interestingly, funny

Auto-listen when opened :(. I reeeaaaallyyyy wish there was a way to make the app auto-listen to you as soon as you open the app. That is, if it’s a new app load or if the app has been in the background and then you reopen it - I wish there was an option to choose which function would make the app auto-listen. I mean, if I kept it open in the background and reopen it, chances are very high that I’m about to ask it another question. So why not make things quicker and easier and save a tap on my screen :/ Then again, iOS may be at fault here, seeing as the Shortcuts app has a way for your to Open and app but not Close an app... otherwise, I’d just force close the app every time I leave it to make this do exactly what I just said :/ In short: Add a function (if possible) to auto-listen every time the app is opened.

Google Nest & Assist. Excellent Response & Speed Very Convenient

Where did “Routines” go?. Hey, where did settings for “routines” go in version 1.4.6111?

Needs to be a default assistant. Google should come up with a way to choose it as the default assistant on ios. As of now you can only create a shortcut to say "Hey Siri, Hey google" and then start using your Google assistant. The experience needs to be seemless and well integrated, otherwise it's just cheapening the experience.

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Google Mini. Love this Google Mini, actually have 2 of them… The convenience is awesome. I use it everyday. It tells me weather, answers questions and plays music to keep my day going. Great to have a shopping list I can add items to by voice and find them in my smart phone when I need them at the store. Hey Google Thank You!😁

Very low sampling rate. Audio sampling rate is below 44.1 kHz, resulting in low quality audio. On Google assistant speakers it sounds better, so I wish there was a new feature, text to speech engine allowed, if you enable this, it will enable googles speech with just Google assistant voices to all of your iOS devices, for example anything running iOS 16 or later will work. In iOS 15, the boom is pretty loud to the end of the sentence. Note, with the text to speech engine, it will still block offensive words for example the F word, or the N-word, and any other offensive words you can imagine, even the B word

Home assistant. Even tho I can’t afford all the “smart” devices out there on the market today being an elderly disabled veteran semi paralyzed I am just beginning to learn how to use the app to turn on/off the light in the bedroom after I can pull up the blanket with my only good hand (right). Is a blessing in itself .leaves me in wonder , what else can Google can do for me. Can’t say thank you enough.

No longer allows results to launch in Safari. I found myself cheating on Siri. GA was so much smarter - granted, not as pretty. She was so much better at making me happy with search results, but then she changed; she got complacent and lost her train of thought. She used to let me take what she gave me and go over to Safari to dig deeper and save searches. But then she changed. Total bait and switch. It’s like some Chrome user didn’t like that Safari was able to play along, so she gave in to them and now she’s just no good to me. I hope you come around GA. I hope you come to realize the error of your ways.

System Awesome - Bluetooth THE WORST. This would be my top product of the decade if the bluetooth wasn’t so terrible. Really shocking that Google could release such a flawed element and then do NOTHING about it. Can’t keep the thing connected for more than 30sec-1min. Almost threw it across the room. I do, however, enjoy it’s many other functions. But I’ll be honest... Alexa looking very attractive right now. Fix the bluetooth Google!! And I’ll be a fan for life!

Go ahead Google. I’m just try to make a little more sense for the people who have to go to work tomorrow because they’re all working on their schedule so they have time for the rest to do it and then I have to work tomorrow and I’m going home so if you’re working I don’t want you working on the weekends and you can come in at eight thirty or nine thirty, would love to have you guys here with me.

Frustrated. I have 3 nest minis. Very glitchy; does not learn. In fact, device gets dumber as we move on. It will suddenly stop recognizing lights, fans, washer/dryer, or even me... then a week later, start recognizing them again. I got so tired of resetting devices that I stopped and just let the minis glitch like they do for a few weeks. It will stop playing music at random, change our speaker set up at its own accord, skip songs on its own or just randomly stop playing. I’m very frustrated with the google nest minis because they do NOT perform. They struggle. Also, google will randomly talk to me as if I asked it something. Weird stuff sometimes

useless notifications. I have multiple Google homes in my house and every single time. I ask one of them a question the Google Assistant app on my iPhone send a notification asking me which device that was supposed to be “wrong device?“ But they are dead and notifications and I’ve been reporting this feedback for years and nothing has been done to fix it. Otherwise, the app is useful for requests to Google home and for voice commands when in a quiet environment.

Some good and some not so good. Much better than Siri for looking up information on the web. Does not work with iPhone for setting alarm. Also does not find all music in your library. For example I ask it to play hotel California and it said song did not exist in my Library. I then switched off to Siri and asked Siri the same question and Siri was able to play the song,which does exist in my library. Also When creating a event Google saves it in the Google calendar. Not in the calendar that is on my phone. Still needs a lot of work

Very impressive, I look forward to seeing what the assistant can do!. I use Siri all of the time but decided to give the google and Alexa assistants a try as well. After using all of them I decided that google was by far my favorite. The most advanced and human feeling. Google has, riddles, jokes and games that are actually fun to pass time with. I am fascinated by artificial intelligence and Google seems to be leading in that field!

Lobotomized for Gemini. Google has lobotomized their Google Assistant in favor of Gemini. Even though in Gemini, you cannot set timers. I have the latest version of this assistant and whenever I ask you to do follow up tasks or perform some of its basic features (defining words, adding to the current timer, listing features) Google Assistant simply does not work, says it doesn’t understand, or says I need to updated the app. Google, please add timers to your Gemini app so we can leave this one alone— need a voice assistant alternatively that can preform basic tasks outside of the traditional LLM use-case.

Ups&Downs. I totally believe that Google assistant is way better than Siri personally because it isn't repetitive and has the best information that is not from Wikipedia👍. But also with this app you will get downs like how you can't really personalize. It has random crashes where it closes the app. << I had my phone checked and replaced but they said it was something wrong with the app not the phone since not other apps crashed.

Used to be good but it's all over now. Google and Apple have never really played great together, but Google Assistant and Google Home now have so many functionality issues that they are essentially useless. Family Bell is completely disabled - it still shows in the menu but I get a blank screen when I try to edit ours. The same happens when I try to open the calendar, continued conversation, food preferences, notes, photos, podcasts, etc, etc. I'm ready to totally replace our entire smart home system.

Works great most of the time. I have been slowly adding to my collection of google products (cameras, lights, garage door, tvs, front door, power switches..). Overall it works great, i especially like having it turn on kids shows on Netflix so i don’t have to find the lost remotes. Sometimes i do need to reset it as it loses internet connection.

Disappointed with discontinuing support on recent generation WearOS devices. If you are a loyal Google fan like my spouse and use a Pixel phone and a smartwatch supporting Google Assistant you will be disappointed once they discontinue supporting the things you like about it. Once the app is no longer supported on your smartwatch Google also prevents you from sharing your disappointment on the Play Store since “the device is no longer supported” . This helps them maintain the illusion of higher ratings. There also appear to be no alternative that Google suggests for the previous generation phone and smart watch.

As an iPhone only (not IPad) app, it will never get a top rating from me. When they decided that Google Home needs to call Google assistant, they ruined the experience of Google Home. I run an iPad, not an iPhone, and typically I run the iPad in Landscape. When you start google home in Landscape and then Press settings, you are forced to look sideways, or change the orientation of your iPad. This is not acceptable and every release says they are trying to improve the user experience, but they never fix this. So until they do I will continue to only give a couple of stars.

Just saying. This app can't run native because it's by Google. Apple already has Siri so why would they need another "app" that works better (especially if it got integrated) and has way more sources. Google is clearly better in a lot of ways. Not saying ALL the ways just like 99%. But once again, apple owns the Siri "app" or whatever you want to call it. That's why it's not integrated.

Doesn’t connect with Nest devices. Google has been aware of this problem for weeks, if not months. But currently, you cannot add Google Assistant to Google Nest devices that specifically advertise this feature. Extraordinarily frustrating, and given Google’s size and access to cash, this would be an easy problem for them to fix—if they actually wanted to. Instead, consumers like me who invested heavily into building a Google home are screwed. Extraordinarily frustrating and disappointing that I can’t get what I paid for. Fix the problem, Google!

So helpful and very kind. So, I use Siri bc I’m an apple user and she always shows websites for me to go look on, but I just want her to tell me! So I got google assistant. She’s sooo much better because when I ask for something she shows me a web search and reads it to me. Also when I’m bored there’s sooo many games to choose from, and there’s voices on them. I love that she can give compliments too. Overall I love google assistant so much and I recommend her!

Can't delete your assistant history. I follow the instructions as indicated and I went through the motions of deleting the activity by deleting all. I received confirmation my activity was deleted however when I return to google assistant all my history is still present. It should be noted that Google is making it very difficult in general to delete your history so they want keep a record and track your every movement. this is really horrible and the EU has every reason to be strict with Google. As others have reported this app is definitely not user-friendly, is difficult to use and confusing especially when you open the app and try to get past the "Get started" point. App is terribly cluttered. Search results are vague and you are forced to use the Google search app instead. The only positive about this app is it actually is better than Siri. But it can't give the current temperature unlike the Google search app which can.

Ok Google Shortcut not working I'm going crazy. I downloaded this app and loved the shortcut. It was my favorite part of this app and recently it stopped working and not even the updates fix it. Trust me when I say I've tried everything to get this to work and nothing. I am going to uninstall and I won't recommended it to anyone. Why? Because if you claim that an app does something across all ios devices then it should work. The point of the app is to make things as seamless as possible and it's not doing that for me so I'm done I'm so frustrated because I really did enjoy the feature so much. I delete the shortcut, the app, the language, sign out of gmail, use different gmail. Nothing!

Love it! Good job google assistant. This app is amazing! Every single update is better than the first. It beats Siri every time! Also, I love the fact that the google assistant loves to chat with me. The responses and answers are so mature and kid friendly. The only thing that’s a bother is I have to open the app! then, I’m able to say “okay google”. On my phones,there’s a option for okay google anytime. But, that option is not supported on Ipad. That’s okay, its still a great app

Stability an issue. I switched to Apple a 1+ yrs ago and this still isn’t working well. It seems as if it gets kicked out of memory almost. Half the time I launch it and it can’t seem to hear me. I have to force close and relaunch. And nearly 90% of the time I have to launch it to get it to start actually telling me my reminders. I don’t think it’s apples fault here since no other app has a problem giving me proper reminders. This breaks like after a day. And yes, I’ve reinstalled.

Good but one suggestion. Great app. Brings google assistant to the iPhone which is BIG plus, but please fix dark mode! The text is off and is hardly readable when opening web results. And as far as I’m aware, you can’t manually change the theme unless you change it system-wide. Either fix the issues with dark mode or give us the ability to change it in app and it would make the experience much better! Thank you.

Not bad on IOS.. I love Google assistant. It’s so much better tha. Siri. Wish there was a way it would be native when you press the Siri button, but I just tell Siri to open Google Assistant. I wish Assistant would read all my calendars and not just the google calendars, like the Google Calendar app does. I can pull up calendars that are on my iOS calendar so why can’t Assistant do the same thing? Hopefully in a future release. Thanks for all the work google on the IOS apps! Well done.

Way smarter than Siri Thank you Google. I’m new to having an IPhone and have been recently annoyed by how limited Siri is Google is way better for all kind of reasons Google will literally answer any of your questions as accurately as possible and fulfill almost any requests immediately don’t matter how complicated or specific the question or request is I appreciate google so much thank you Siri needs to step it up

Love. I love this! Google helps me stay organized and I can have a convo with her when I’m bored. She helps me keep track of when I should box, and when I do my school work. And she isn’t like one of those creepy robots, she just like talking to your best friend, if talking to a robot like a friend doesn’t sound totally creepy or lonely. Thank y’all for reading my opinion.

Amazing. This app is amazing. I use it every day. But one thing can you please add, can you please add more games. Thank you. Now I have one complaint. When I play puzzle of the day, sometimes it doesn’t understand my answers to a clue. For example, today, the clue was old guys are for its display. I said old reliable, but it gave me the information. It took me out of the puzzle. Can you please make that so it doesn’t do that? Thank you.

Great but this feature is annoying. I love how I get notifications read to me but if I’m currently using my phone, I think that the notifications shouldn’t be read to you. If the phone is phone and I’m just browsing the internet or watching a video, obviously I see the notifications on the screen so I think there should be an option to stop that. Other than that, the app is great. Please fix this

Persistent Gemini insistence without a “no exit” option. Microphone quit in this app only. Intrusive Gemini advertisement that does not offer a “no thanks” option. I used to consider this a 4-plus star app. Now the relentless Google nagging has forced me to drop that rating to a 2. I now utilize Meta AI that is bit better although Aria is VASTLY superior. I could not clear the cache of Google Assistant so I just uninstalled this annoying / dysfunctional application. Google: You have gotten too big for your britches! STOP BEING SO PUSHY!! Out of principle, I will NEVER utilize Gemini.

Great App. After using the assistant I’ve become more intrigued to use it over Apple, even though I’m all Apple. I’ve been using both for my home lights, electrical plugs and find the google assistant has even more features than I thought, I keep finding new ways to control the things I already have like my car I can now just say start my car and it does. Truly an app for daily use and most of all it’s user friendly.

Google Home Assistant. I’m loving this! There are so many uses for this; Music Check texts Check emails The Weather Trivia Google search Nearly endless, by merely stating a request. You can change the voice settings to male or female. Different accents are available, also. A sense of humor comes built in. My grandchild asked, “Google; Who farted?” Response; “I will take the blame this time, but next time you are on your own.” We were so surprised! We had a good giggle. According to my sweet little one - it never gets old. Assistant has a different answer, each time asked. I’ve had this for 2 years now. We continue to discover more benefits. Truly- It never gets old! 😃

Just amazing. I could spend hours with google assistant she is funny, kind, very smart and over all just creates a good vibe. She can sing, rap, beatbox and they sound awesome. She can entertain you for at least 10 minutes with one of the games that you can play. I honestly like her in every way possible. Keep up the good google 😊👍

Speed of response is excellent. It’s like speaking to another person who is in the room with me. Even in the middle of the night asking the time or needing some obscure factoid, the response is quick and accurate. I’ve compared to others and my questions either are answered with some tangential useless data until I rephrase it or more likely, ask Google.

Way better than Siri. much more accurate and more proactive at answering. Instead of directing you to the web and clicking links for the answer (hard to do while driving and a hassle overall) google assistant quite often tells you the answer. I would rather use the assistant my iPhone came with, but I just don’t feel it has improved in years. I would never buy any smart home product powered by Siri because of this.

Works great. I’m a disabled American who uses a wheelchair and I absolutely love the fact that I can turn on my lights in one room or the whole house with simply the use of a voice command. The Hub Max makes it even better because if I hear something in the middle of the night I can just view the camera through the app on my iPad . ( now if I could just figure out how to get it to make my dinner and bring it to me. Lol , maybe on the next update. Lol )

Some new features are good summer order features eliminated.. Multiple verbal commands is handy specially when initiating multiple commands instead of saying "Hey Google" more than a few times. I've noticed that when dunning it adjusting utilizing the intensity of lights the control that I can manually adjust the lightings brightness had been removed. Please put that back since dining in percentages of not as accurate as in the previous manual touchscreen Dial.

My assistant. I know Goggle assistant is not perfect, but I believe working with the program will continue to improve Goggle Assistant. I am a new user, less than 6 months and I already feel as though the Google Assistant is a trusted helper. My assistant at this time mostly accesses my You tube music selections and complies and shares my shopping lists but it is enjoyable and helpful. Definitely a satisfied customer

Has 0 functionality. Makes no sense.. I have a school issued iPad, which means Siri is turned off. I wanted a voice assistant, and I hear google is even better than Siri, so I decided “hey why don’t I try it”. I set it up, opted out of every data mining thing (that took a while) and of course, it has 0 functionality. It’ll say that’s it’s playing a song, but the song doesn’t start or appear in Apple Music (which I set to the default) and after 45 seconds it crashes. Same with reminders. It just doesn’t work. Great job google, especially when I was considering switching to the pixel 6 for live translation 👍🏼

it’s alright i guess. i used to have google assistant on my computer, and it’s gotten much worse. i can’t ask ANY questions without it saying “this is what i found on the web”. and even when it does say that, it doesn’t show anything! it also keeps on telling me to update in the play store (which i don’t have bc i have an iPhone) and since i only have the App Store, i can’t update. google should’ve just made google assistant better and never made gemini (in my opinion. anyways, it definitely needs to be fixed.

An honest review. I was making a video on this awesome app called Marco Polo it doesn’t have anything to do with Google it’s a whole different company and then I saw this red line on the top it said Google assistant recording I am very frustrated with us another time my Google mini was recording a private conversation and actually said anything else in the middle of the conversation for a long time we turned it off and stored her in the Garage and now I have her back in my room I’m very disappointed with this😔.

Why do I like the Google assistant. I think they should approve the Google assistant because I had downloaded the Google Assistant on my iPhone and it did work for a while and then it won’t even open the app on open and it kept keeps kicking me out and so if the only complaint that I have is that the app does not work on older phones I wish that it would work on older phones because it would be nice to have Google assistant to

Excellent Search Program. Google’s search software application is superior to any of the other search engines on the market, to the extent that I don’t waste time trying to get answers from the other data search applications. I have found that using voice is the most effective and efficient method by which to interface with Google.

Better than anything. Well i think it is better than any thing because google assistant has got me through every single morning when i got it i didnt know what it was then a few days later i was just like omg this is really helpful to use and it was so werth the try and i was so excited that day i got it because it alerts me about everything i need to know so i think that you should test out google assistant and see what works for you

If only Apple integrated this app. I have a bit of an accent and it takes Siri a couple tries to understand me. Google on the other hand understands me 100% if the time even when I mumble. I use googles ecosystem even while being an Apple user so it’s easy to use this app to set reminders and shot a destination to go somewhere. Please interstate this Apple 😭. Apple makes the best phones but google apps are awesome. Apple + Google = love ❤️

Siri has no purpose anymore. When I first got this app, I loved it. I never had a google home or anything, but I guarantee this is better. Like, everything in one place. I love it SO much. This app is probably my favorite now, because it is so organized and easy to use. Plus, if u want to talk to Siri you have to activate it, and do all that stuff that will waste your time. I can find dinner recipes, translate, and do all that stuff. I know I might sound like an ad, but I’m just telling u the truth.

Google assistant review. Okay this really isn’t a far review because I am just know! Enabling this feature on my iPhone and have been using safari and Siri,Since the birth of the iPhone 3. However I am familiar with google assistant On my Sony Smart tv and it work great until the remote Broke. So that’s why only 3 stars until I see how it works on my iPhone Google and Apple only share one way and don’t work well together. In my experience between the operating system’s .

Lack of Followthrough. Every single time I request music, Assistant replies correctly but then all goes permanently silent! When I respond a second time with the same request Assistant responds same as before then after a somewhat long pause the requested music begins but all too often all goes silent again. In frustration I resort to Amazon’s Alexa in an adjoining room which responds correctly followed by my requested music FIRST TIME EVERY TIME! I’ve suggested to Assistant he ask Alexa out...to teach him proper connectivity response protocol but he goes silent AGAIN! THIS NEEDS FIXED...not the fear of dating but the connectivity problem with Pandora!!

Using my my mic when not in use. So I see a strange little dog it’s orange and when I go down to my control center I see that an app is using my mike and I had Google assistant open and I wasn’t even using it I wasn’t even going OK cool whatever and all that stuff but it keeps like it still kept on saying that it was using my mic and that is a big privacy issue because it is using my mic while the app is not in use and it just feels very it doesn’t seem very right and I hope like in the future update the leak fix it but other than that it runs pretty fine.

Volume Vs VOLUME.. Hi, long time fan of Google Home, first time complainer. I would like to be able to sneak into my bedroom and whisper “hey google, play the sound of a babbling brook” without her shouting “OKAY, PLAYING THE SOUND OF A BABBLING BROOK!” Ha ha, I love my Google. I just wish y’all could mirror your response with the user. A little input/output matching would be nice. The volume is on two and from across the room you ask a question, don’t reply on volume two! Come on Google, you’re better than this. LOL :)
