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.

would give 0 if available, as usual rating rigged. keeps butting in lately without being near touch screen. also needs hearing aids or learn English.

lightweight but my only problem is that it still doesn't have access to Gemini. I would like the developers to give it a simple lightweight Gemini version not until I access the web before I use it.
