  • 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. 😃

  • 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.

  • Refuses to provide personal answers

    Even 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
