Hey google play news from the BBC - I don’t understand

What is this junk?

App won’t open

I have an iPhone SE first generation latest iOS 15.8.8. I have downloaded the app a number of times and it will not open.

Any help would be appreciated.

Nuisance

Opens a non-dismissible pop up asking for permissions for the mic. The problem is it forces you to choose yes or no and blocks everything else until you choose. I chose no and promptly uninstalled it.

Вы наглые люди

Знаете мало того что элементарно Ютубе не могу скачать так и ещё вообще приложение вылетает ваши требования насчёт IOS тема надоела Assistant вылетает плохо очень плохо надеялся всё зря 😡🤬😡🤬

ALL USERS SHOULD READ THIS & CONFIRM BY ASKING GOOGLE.COM AS WELL

Google Assistant is being phased out on phones in favor of Gemini and this classic app will disappear from most app stores by the end of 2026. You don’t need to uninstall it right now just wait for the transition. The classic Google Assistant is still on iPhones that haven’t been upgraded yet and it’s also on low end or older devices. You don’t have to uninstall the classic Google Assistant (THIS APP) before or after downloading GEMINI. Once it’s installed Gemini will take over & the old app “Google Assistant”will stop working on that device anyway.

Very limited in scope

I tried to do a very simple thing. Upload an image of a schedule and have Assistant create the calendar events. This doesn't work since there's no camera or upload button. First it claimed to be able to do what I wanted, but couldn't answer when asked about how to upload a photo. It kept asking about when the event was. If I wanted to manually type in the event, I would have done so myself. Complete waste of time.

Delete it it’s outdated

Delete it’s sunset

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.
