The instructions said to download a google home. There are several so I downloaded this one. As I was going through the set up I had to give my credit information. The app said I would not be charged. The moment I hit continue immediately my bank sent me a message of scam and they declined payment of 34.98. I don’t know if this would have been a monthly charge or a yearly charge. You should be honest and upfront about your pricing so people know what they are getting into! I have deleted your app because your app said there would be no charge and immediately I was charged! I am happy my bank declined it! ### 1/5 — Theives *2024-12-13, version 1.1.10* They just stole like $50 from my Visa . Don’t even trust this app anymore.

I don’t like Google Home! I have been trying to set up for over an hour and it’s still not set up! The app is not user friendly! I tells you where to look for WiFi but there is no option! I’m beyond frustrated with this and will probably throw it out the window! ### 1/5 — Cannot connect *2024-10-30, version 1.1.10* I used my Google Home mini for many years and then all of a sudden it unpaired and I could not get it to reconnect. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Configuration *2026-05-11, version 1.1.10* Hello!!
