Ratings and reviews

A once great app now decaying. I used to use assistant to reply to texts, calls, set reminders and calendar events, usually from the search bar. For some reason that no longer works, and the reminders don't pop up. The app is degraded in every way, I presume because of Google's push to their new ai. Rip assistant, to be added to the list of projects Google abandons.

Like others have said. It used to work, now voice activation doesn't work. Assistant won't wake up until I physically open the app by touch. Once settings are completed, you can't go back into the app to change anything. Hot mess. Used to be great. Pixel7Pro in use on Google Fi, it's not hardware or software or service related.

Absolutely awful and horrid the way Google has totally dismembered the useful functionality in order to replace it with Gemini, which does not provide. Basic assistant functions as setting appointments, providing search results that don't need ai, for example "what time does the debate begin?" Gemini takes over and reminds you it's a language modeling app and can't help you. Now, there is absolute confusion and wrong information about using both together. Shows both settings and advises to use l
