While some of the actions won’t work right away, we are working to support more coming soon. You will be able to switch back to Google Assistant in app settings.

Really nice to have when it works. The first few days of use it worked fantastic! Only a few misheard words, but that's expected during first time use. Yesterday it would not respond to me at all even though it was on, but eventually I got it working by closing it and opening it back up a few times. Today, it won't respond at all unless you manually open up the app and press the microphone button. I've uninstalled it, retrained it to understand me, but nothing seems to be working. It was nice wh

Oh my god. This is awful. It won't let me listen to music. Keeps pausing the track all the time. I try to type something and there it is. Turns on the music at random times. Happened a few times during my lectures. Sets alarms on its own. Even when I turned the app off, it keeps popping up, saying 'Assistant is ready to help.' The previous version was good. Not so meddling. Wasn't this troublesome. This is just annoying. Even when I uninstall it, I get pop ups to install it. Please fix this. Doesn't let me do anything properly.
