Ratings and reviews

Well, yet again, with the latest "bug fixes and updates", the app has gone way downhill in it's ability to control groups of paired Google smart speakers. In the past, it's always been a hassle to get Spotify to work reliably and consistently along with Google Home, but Di.fm, SoundCloud, and SiriusXM were always golden (though the SiriusXM app went through a problematic time after an app redesign, but finally got back on track). So it's clear that Google Home is likely the most at fault. Damn.

I have 6 Google home devices spread out over my house controlling lights, TV's, speakers etc... for years they worked very well and I loved my Google smart home. I felt like I was living in 2030. I have no idea what happened but my speakers buzz and click (the newest one) Google won't respond to my voice half the time. When it does respond it's wildly inaccurate. It can't find devices half the time for no apparent reason. It's a buggy mess. It's infuriating and I will be switching platforms.

I'm about to switch to Alexa. Google home is consistently unreliable garbage. it kicks smart devices offline for days and weeks at a time randomly, until they patch it. Negating the idea of a RELIABLE smart home. My dog sits in the dark all night because the app doesn't turn on my lights. It's Google's failure as all my smart devices work just fine in their 3rd party apps. Like geeni, ecobee & roku. And highly unlikely all 3 apps would fail at the same time. It's Google messing it up.
