Ratings and reviews

I've been really impressed with this app. It combines a number of different uses into a single, easy to use app that is fast and has a wealth of features. However, some improvements can certainly be made and here are some suggestions; allow support for tabs!; a dark mode; the ability to remove preset buttons such as "Camera Translate"; a "More Stories" button at the bottom of the discover page (simillar to the original Google app); and a variety of home screen widgets.

With Android getting slow, there needs to be more lite apps like this. Hugely improved over the bloated Google app. Only down side to it is that I cannot trigger the voice assistant from headphones, the home button, or from my car's voice button. I never have the "ok Google" turned on which this doesn't support, but now I have no assistant unless I open the app first and press buttons. This app isn't great unfortunately. Needs some improvement.

It's different. I'm used to full fat Google search. Don't know if it's my new phone (Moto e30) but a lot of useless search options are initially displayed above the search box which are distracting. The search box is at the bottom of the screen, the suggestions come up in blue bubbles which are not always useful. I'm sure I'll get used to it though.
