Ratings and reviews

Sometimes, it just tells me stuff out loud instead of showing it on screen, even if I say search in Google Chrome, and want to SEE results. I'm not going to be able to memorize the addresses of my three closest Walgreen locations, when it tells me through the audio only. The absolute worst part is that I can't put it in dark mode. every time I open the app it takes over the entire screen and hits me with a pure white screen. I am mostly indoors, or in low light areas.

This is a nice app. You just need to add some features that can be accessed without an internet connection. Also, why can't it play music? The farthest it can get is opening the app that has the song. And, you can't open it with just saying "Ok/Hey, Google". But long pressing the home button is good enough for me. Please fix these problems and someone explain to me why the Go edition has more problems than the normal.

Google Assistant Go is a lightweight and helpful app! It works fast and doesn’t use much storage or data, which is perfect for my phone. I use it for quick voice commands like setting alarms, checking the weather, and making calls. It understands my voice well and responds quickly.It doesn’t have all the features of the full version, like smart home control, but for basic tasks, it’s really useful and reliable.Simple, smooth, and smart for everyday use!
