El asistente no entiende

No entiende el idioma. Cambia de ingles a español en una misma frase

Garbage

The fact that I have to download three different apps to do one thing on my device is ridiculous and they do it because they got money for each download and then they give us no customer support Absolute garbage. I would prefer one app rather than having to use multiple all for the same thing they all interconnect so what is the point other than you just wanna make an extra buck and not provide us any customer service awesome but not like we have a lot of choices.

Good but i like gemini a bit more

It like doesn't understand almost everything but its decent i guess?

Slow and buggy

Doesn’t work with Sonos speaker. Answers something weird every time. Says it is playing music while it isn’t. When pointed, says I don’t understand or I am AI or I get things wrong. Totally unhelpful in the age of true AI.

Better than siri

Siri has never been able to find a specific thing I want and google assistant can just find it instantly

Loss of functions

App now tells you to update to latest version of the app for functionality but there is no new version available. Used to use this every day now I almost never use and will probably delete soon.

Goggle Assistant Review

So, after testing Google AI with a couple of other AI models, i did notice some things. Google Assistant is pretty good with sort queries or short commands. However, sometimes when you ask more complex questions, it often times struggles and spits out the response sorry i don’t understand. Now Copilot and some other ai providers seem to handle complex queries pretty well. When i tried to ask google how to turn on my google nest hub gen 2 nightlight, it was like i don’t understand. When i asked my trusty ai friend copilot, it had no trouble at all guiding me through my google Nest Hub set up. Google assistant ai seems like its for small tasks. Just my honest opinion.

Suddenly doesn’t wanna play any playlists

This app used to be pretty good. I could play any playlist from my Apple Music account. It no longer plays anything or it plays something completely random that’s not on my playlist. It’s become completely useless.

So sad.

So many features where widdled away by Google over the years, sure, but this is too much. Gemini can't even play the news. Makes me just want to get a regular kitchen radio. What's the point of all this??

Ya no funciona

No sabe nada

Generally helpful-ish

There are many times where Assistant is unable to do things I want it to do (set reminders for further out than 24 hours, set multiple timers or alarms) and then it feels like most AI apps are created to do things no one needs or wants. Also, I don't know what happened to the Assistant voice I used to have but I dislike immensely all of the options now available.

Shutting down on March 31st 2026

Don’t even bother downloading this app. It’s going to be shutting down any day now. They announced last year that Assistant will be replaced by Gemini.

Broken

Always loved it. But now you’ve broken this wonderful tool. It will no longer play any routines. It won’t read the news. It won’t do anything. It just says “Sorry, I don’t understand”
What a shame.

Rubbish

Crashes within 3 seconds of opening the app, useless.

Siri always misheard me

Yaaaay

Forced obsolescence

Used to be great, loved catching up on the news through this app. Google have updated it so it's broken, can't do that anymore and likely other features. Google don't be surprised that I'll never pay money for any of your services or use your ecosystem when alternatives exist, while you are still pulling stunts like this. Kill the app or fix it

Unbelievably incompetent/buggy

Unbelievably incompetent/buggy

Please fix ‘Play the news’ command – it used to work perfectly.

I used to love the Google Assistant. Every morning and night, I would simply say “Hey Google, play the news” and it would reliably play the latest audio headlines from my favorite sources like BBC, Sky News, Deutsche Welle, Bloomberg, and others.
Lately, however, when I say “Google, play the news” (the very first command I give my phone each day), it just replies: “Sorry, I don’t understand.”
This was one of my most-used and favorite features, and it’s now completely broken. It makes starting and ending my day much less convenient.
Please bring back the working “Play the news” functionality — it’s a simple but incredibly useful feature for many users. Fix this soon! Make it 5 stars✌️🌟

Works terribly

Used to kind of function, now I can’t get it to do half the things I tell it to and it turns off dark mode 70% of the time

Can’t do anything - says I need to update

No commands work anymore. It says I need to update to the latest version, but this app hasn’t been updated in 8 months on the App Store.
