Google Assistant for Negative User Reviews
✓ Everything Home/Assistant related has diminished in qualityI 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..Version: 1.9.78001
✓ Overall excellent but lacks basic functionsWhen will there be support to set an alarm via the app by writing text. I don’t want google to talk back to me whilst I’m in bed so it wakes my baby. Also when will there be a function to turn off the voice command after using home commands like ‘turn the lights off or on. I know the lights are off or on as I can see it!.Version: 1.6.2408
✓ WON’T WORK WITH QC 35’sThis 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.Version: 1.5.3908
✓ Non mais sérieuxGoogle 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 !.Version: 1.3.5710
✓ 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!!.Version: 1.4.5007
✓ I like Siri moreSiri is better for me.Version: 1.6.3608
✓ ListsOverall 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..Version: 1.9.12103
✓ Refuses to provide personal answersEven though the show personal answers is on, it just refuses to allow them. Provides some helpful info but nothing personal and sends way more notifications than any other app I have installed about weather etc.Version: 1.9.26502
✓ Older version was betterThe new update is confusing. The buttons were easy to find in the older version.Version: 1.9.80703
✓ Google home miniUseless as all get out don’t know why the hell this app is on billboard because it is no help at all.Version: 1.9.80703
✓ Reminders fail terriblyReminder 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.Version: 1.7.5907
✓ Complex and confusing interfaceWhile I generally prefer Google over Siri the Google apps tend to be a real complex and confusing jumble when it comes to settings that are scattered about all over the place and change with almost every update. I also can’t fathom why, when I open the Assistant app, next to my account icon in the top right there is a red dot. It looks like it should mean you have some kind of notification but tapping it to open up the settings and there’s nothing! Also the Assistant sometimes pops up a notification asking ‘Which device did you expect to respond’, tapping that just takes you to a blank Assistant page so why bother? It’s a pointless notification that merely wastes your time. Google’s good at information only, Apple leaves them in the dust when it comes to user interface and interaction..Version: 1.9.38404
✓ Bug on shopping listWhen trying to open my shopping list, I’m redirected to another tab (payments and security). It’s been a couple of months now. Would you mind to fix this silly bug please? Ta.Version: 1.9.23802
✓ 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..Version: 1.9.12103
✓ InconsistentFairly pointless on ios due to its inconsistency. Pulls stuff from your calendar and Gmail well enough but reminders are hit and miss and the most consistent thing about this app is that you are a stone cold certainty to never get a location based reminder, ever..Version: 1.6.308
✓ Stuck with the female British versionI keep trying to change the assistant’s voice as I find the British accent to sound depressing and annoying but for some reason no matter what voice I pick in the settings or changing the language to other English versions..Version: 1.6.7102
✓ 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......Version: 1.8.11203
✓ It requires login app login every dayEveryday, 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..Version: 1.9.67202
✓ Generally good app, but where have shortcuts gone?If you have a Google home device you need the Assistant app to set up some services and features like home control etc. One of the really useful features was Shortcuts which let you create custom commands. But it was dropped from the app a couple of updates ago and is still missing. The Google Home help describes where to find shortcuts now, but it's still not there. Really annoying and a bit crap that Google can't fix something a straightforward as this..Version: 1.2.7004
✓ I love google assistant but...Can you make it so the Siri shortcut for google works on HomePod please!.Version: 1.5.814
✓ Encore faibleSi 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!.Version: 1.9.101802
✓ Can’t connect to headphoneNot able to connect Sony WH1000MX3 headphone. Google assistant failed to connect during paring and kept saying “make sure Bluetooth is turned ON”. Please fix this bug..Version: 1.7.2315
✓ No LocationDoesn’t seem to be able to access your current location making any location based questions almost useless.Version: 1.4.7112
✓ Needs a bigger screenOf 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!.Version: 1.1.3106
✓ No Mac app versionNo mad app version,stupid. N.Version: 1.6.8003
✓ Does NOT work well with Xbox One XI 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.Version: 1.7.5907
✓ Responses not always very goodGoogle will need to do a lot of work in getting the basics right..Version: 1.8.2803
✓ Needs improvementHello, 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🧐.Version: 1.1.9406
✓ 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!.Version: 1.8.7912
✓ Google hacks youSo 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.Version: 1.2.8215
✓ Voice input doesn’t workPressing on the mic button does absolutely nothing.Version: 1.9.80703
✓ School accountYOU CAN'T LOG IN USING A SCHOOL ACCOUNT 😞.Version: 1.9.64101
✓ Lack of integration with Google servicesAssistant is an interesting curiosity that offers little above Google Now or Google Search app. It fails to do basic things such as play a song in Play Music and whilst some of this may be down to iOS design, it's a shame that Google couldn't have given more thought to enabling Assistant services on other Google apps. It struggles to reach out beyond its own narrow app to other apps and whilst it's speech recognition is superb and although it's able to deliver more sense than Siri could dream of, it struggles to do much of any use except to answer fact based questions..Version: 1.1.3106
✓ Can’t delete linked deviceHello Team, I try to unlink a device from google assistant , but I don’t find anyway to do it. Search the internet, it seems similar issue have be in there since 2020. Are there any clear instructions to do this?.Version: 1.9.101802
✓ Latest update still doesn’t workRequires 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..Version: 1.9.26502
✓ Have to sign inU have to sign in and thats a bit annoying, also if u look at the privacy thing they track you on like everything so yea kinda sussy.Version: 1.9.69601
✓ Was good 5 years agoIts 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".Version: 1.9.108501
✓ Games are no longer availableI am so sad that I deleted my app and not downloaded it again because its games are no longer available..Version: 1.9.80703
✓ 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..Version: 1.9.23802
✓ Never worksIt never actually shows results for anything, just shows a blank screen saying “Here’s what I found”.Version: 1.9.40904
✓ AnnoyingAt first I loved this app and I would rate it an east 4 or 5 stars but lately it has been driving me nuts and what ever I say it does not listen or hear properly. I was asking it to look up words and it got every one wrong, for example I asked it for the meaning of Winsome and it said winston, what one ,wind one and when some I’m really dissappointed and I’m deleting th Earp instantly.Version: 1.8.6608
✓ Hum to search not workingJust googles the phrase ‘what’s this song’ which oh so helpfully informs me that I can use Google to search for music by humming.Version: 1.9.12103
✓ Problem with ResponseToday’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..Version: 1.8.9604
✓ Needs to be a default assistantGoogle 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..Version: 1.9.57601
✓ Google HomeIt seems like we have to speak loud for Google to hear what we say.Version: 1.9.12103
✓ EVERYTHINGG IS GOOD except for one small bugThis 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!.Version: 1.9.12103
✓ Google Speaker Assistant is awfulI can’t review the Google assistant on my google speaker anywhere else, so I’ll review it here. Google Assistant has got dumb. Simple commands to control things around my house or answer questions are now “I don’t understand” or “you haven’t set up home control yet” even though a couple tries later it’ll suddenly work. I have 3 Google speakers. Two were free and one heavily discounted. Glad I didn’t pay full price, because I’m about to throw them all away..Version: 1.9.64101
✓ Lots of promise--some bugsVery 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..Version: 1.1.7812
✓ AwfulDifficult to work with and family bell keeps going away..Version: 1.9.80703
✓ Needs a lot of workWay 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..Version: 1.3.5710
✓ The assistantWay is goggle lens not working pls fix.Version: 1.9.26502
✓ Needs to be iPad NativeGoogle 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!.Version: 1.1.9409
✓ No longer allows results to launch in SafariI 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..Version: 1.9.306
✓ List is harder to use after updateCatch 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.Version: 1.7.3806
✓ Smart but clunkyConnects to almost all smart devices - and allows quite flexible management of them all. So for me, better than competitors(outside if full bespoke smart home installs). However - it seems to think everything can or should be done with voice commands, and that managing your devices is a back-office admin thing that doesn't have to be well designed. The problem is that any auto configure capability isn't smart enough to make that work. So the device and scene admin is really important - and quite non-intuitive to navigate / use..Version: 1.9.101802
✓ No Apple Watch appSure 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..Version: 1.9.101802
✓ Only if you use google ecosystemI am a foreign languages teacher and use a mix of three languages every day at work. I also use Siri all the time in the classroom to set timers, play music, ask random facts that add a bit of fun to lessons, however, Siri is not great for the polyglot as you can only use the language of your phone. This can only be one at a time unless you manually change and restart the system, which I could not do on a lesson by lesson basis! Soo what joy when I found out that the Google assistant would let you add two additional languages as well as your phone language. I gave up and will stick with Siri (and use English when using Siri) because 1. I cannot manage the calendars on iPhone 2. I cannot set a reminder on iPhone 3. I don’t use any google services so functionality is limited. The one plus was I could link Apple Music but that was it. Either Siri needs to be a better linguist or Google assistant needs to talk to my phone rather than the cloud. Ah well…..Version: 1.9.40904
✓ Just sadSiri all the way.Version: 1.6.8003
✓ Does not work properly with google nest hubConstantly 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..Version: 1.9.33408
✓ I can’t believe how this assistant isn’t worth a zipFirst 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..Version: 1.7.5905
✓ 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..Version: 1.4.7112
✓ 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.).Version: 1.3.2110
✓ 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..Version: 1.9.80703
✓ Where did “Routines” go?Hey, where did settings for “routines” go in version 1.4.6111?.Version: 1.4.6111
✓ 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!.Version: 1.9.101802
✓ 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..Version: 1.1.9409
✓ Reminder notifications don’t work.Reminder notifications don’t appear to work. When I ask google to remind me something it confirms it and adds to google calendar as a reminder. Yet the reminder never comes. If I add a reminder to google calendar manually it works fine. All notification settings etc are on. Seems to be a problem only when setting a reminder from the assistant app. Hopefully this can be fixed as this was one of the main reasons I wanted to use it. Edit the problem extends to google calendar. Book an appointment through google assistant and no notification from the calendar app on iPhone despite the appointment saying one is set and all notifications on. Again book manually in the calendar app and it works fine..Version: 1.5.5808
✓ 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..Version: 1.7.3806
✓ Couldn’t be more uselessAll features pop up a message “get the full assistant experience” with an unlinked button that doesn’t work. There’s nothing available in the help on this and no other google post in existence to resolve the matter. With no way to resolve this the app is useless..Version: 1.3.2110
✓ Cannot get the version for Apple WatchI need it in my Apple Watch.Version: 1.8.11203
✓ Rubbish on iosI tried using this on my iphone se. It could understand me. But it couldn't play my Google music, couldn't make phone calls when I asked it. After trying all the options to try and configure the settings to work, it completely failed as a hands free option which is why you would want this app..Version: 1.6.7102
✓ Google Home and Home Mini Smart SpeakerThis little speaker, on a good day, is, indeed, ‘smart’, but then, sometimes it wakes up ‘in a mood’, and seems to be ‘stupid’, deliberately, just to annoy you. What you asked it to do or play a few hours earlier, and you ask it again, elicits the response, ‘I’m not sure how to do that’. Oh yes you do, you say, you did it a few minutes ago! Asking it to play a playlist from your google play music library can often result in tempers becoming frayed, (although the google assistant usually remains calm, despite repeated requests). I once asked it to play my playlist 8 times, and the first 7 times, it got it wrong, but it was a case of ‘8th time lucky’. When it works, it’s great, but when it doesn’t, an anger management course is often the best solution. Unfortunately, you can reboot and re-set the speaker, but you can’t reboot yourself! The ability to learn, and be able to speak, ‘Googlese’ helps enormously!.Version: 1.8.5003
✓ Nice simple app, but the screen shots in the app page look photoshoppedUnsure if they are concept photoshop screenshots, but i can’t see how to change the view of the app to show the time/ date with buttons on the side like screenshot 1. Otherwise app works ok. Google home/ assistant also having major problems with Philips hue BT bulbs (have left a review and googled fixes finding the BT bulbs). Google assistant not playing well with the bulbs. Can only find 3 out of the 4 bulbs. (It’s not a faulty bulb though as if i unplug one of the working bulbs and put the non responsive bulb, google home finds it. I think it can only handle 3 bulbs at a time?.Version: 1.9.11102
✓ FrustratingThe 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..Version: 1.9.12103
✓ Not supporting Apple musicCan you please clarify if there is a plan to add Apple Music to GA music services or not? If yes when?.Version: 1.6.3608
✓ Buggy as hellHa ha some Moron in the coding dept forgot to add location services so this app thinks your location is based on your IP ! Moron Intermittent performance on Xr on 13.1 , sometimes it detects soeech sometimes it doesnt, there appears to be a bug between the assistant and accessibility phone control which I use instead of siri, it appears this is tying up the audio pipe and not freeing it up when the app is open, this doesnt happen if you turn it off and use siri.Version: 1.9.7803
✓ PLEASE add setting to keep assistant from repeating task back to meIt’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..Version: 1.9.69601
✓ 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..Version: 1.9.23802
✓ Miserable excuse for a ‘helpful’ softwareThe worst voice command service I have ever had the displeasure of using. Its sheer incompetence has inspired me to write the first review of any object or experience in my life. Never has a supposedly useful software exuded such insolent, infernal chaos as this wretched system, which is unable to understand my saying the words ‘play’ or ‘skip’ from any distance I may try, without ignoring me or saying that she does not understand the mere syllable I request of her. I am convinced this machine was forged by demons to try and unravel any remaining sanity we possess during the pandemic. Would not recommend..Version: 1.9.7803
✓ Google SearchNo matter what language you speak sometimes Google doesn’t always understand,Even if you try to speak slowly in English words..Version: 1.9.12103
✓ Please add Apple Watch supportMore 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..Version: 1.9.12103
✓ Family Bell keeps disappearingExtremely 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..Version: 1.9.80703
✓ Has Potential but Falls Short for iPhone 6 PlusDoes 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..Version: 1.4.6111
✓ Can't do audio routines through phone anymoreThe 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..Version: 1.9.40904
