Ratings and reviews

Doesn't work. First time when I installed it, it used to work well. The day after, I commanded it, clicked it, waited for it, it NEVER WORKED as if it's DEAD. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it a couple of times. The whole story repeats! Unlike Google Search, Gmail, etc, Google Assistant NEEDS SERIOUS WORK.

One thing I couldn't do was to wake the phone while the screen is turned off. I gave it four stars due to it's performance in Turkish. When I say "what are my notifications?" while driving, it unlocks the phone and reads the messages that came from whatsapp in English (Even the messages are not in English, with an in correct pronunciation) but when I give it the exact command in Turkish, which is "bildirimlerim neler?" it doesn't understand.Anyways it's a very good work and for free.Thanks a lot

The assistant experience is worsening day by day. Song search is broken (not even trying, it just instantly fail). Recipes have been long gone. Now the assistant is no longer able to add elements to a list (it can create a list, show my lists, but it's stupid and can't do something that worked forever suck as "add bananas to my shopping list"). Online I can only find other people with the same issues, but no solutions. (BTW language is Italian, but it's no excuse for such poor quality)
