Ratings and reviews

Some bugs and faults. First off, voice recognition ain't working properly. I just discovered now that they will react to a different person's voice even if you set up voice match. 2nd, my most favorite feature, interpreter mode, won't translate vice versa. It translates english to selected language, but when you do it vice versa, it will instead repeat the things you said as it is. (This is true for all languages) And a few more, I can't describe them all because of character limit.

I've been using Google assistant for years and it suddenly stopped working. Whenever I try to use it, it doesn't let me search things anymore and this "Unluck more Assistant features" appears. I pressed it, it says "Just a sec... Your Assistant will be right with you" and then a few seconds later, it always says "Check your connection and try again". And so I did try again and again, I even checked my connection countless times but the same thing happens. I hope you can fix this problem soon

It won't respond most of the time to my voice command, and I have to use the button or swipe shortcut/action, to be able to use it. If it's working, sometimes it will close on its own and continue not working, then suddenly I found on its settings it disabled already the voice command. Another issue, it won't show any results. It would only say, "I found these results, I found this on the web or Sometimes, Here are some results from a search," and so on, but just empty screen results.
