Ratings and reviews

It's great when it works. It's not consistent enough when using activation word and is often slow to undertake the command. But in the car is where it's worse. It seems to open up on activation command word but then just doesn't listen to the request. It used to work flawlessly in the car about 3yrs ago. I've seen your response but I've also dealt with your customer services over Google pay issues. And you simply did nothing. Your response is nothing more than a cooperate waffle.

Until recently this app woke me with my day ahead, the weather, traffic on the way to work and the latest news, but no more! It would appear that the latest update had rendered it useless. The app won't open and even after I reinstalled it. Come on Google we can't all be wrong. You have an issue please sort it out. Don't bother using the email associated with the app as it is no longer monitored! You are directed to Google support and is beyond useless.

Does not work at all, I installed it fine, gave it all relevant permissions requested, recorded audio, set the default music player, in short i followed all the setup steps. Then tried I tried a variety of tasks, ranging from playing music, to opening Facebook, writeling messages, making calls, setting alarms. With every command I was met with "something went wrong, please try again." Even basic commands. USELESS. Do not install, it's a waste of time and effort.
