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.

Any app or software with the word "Go" at the end is not something I or you probably need to even be using. Crashes ALL THE TIME!! I have had to use the "Go" version of software products and devices for too long now. If you can afford or have a opportunity to get a flagship device, do so! The lack of ram is clunky and slow. the Go devices are usually clunky also. I'm in a position to finally get away from the entry level device and "Go" software. Hello flagship device!!

It's really too bad I can't give you a zero because I would. Google assistant is only good if you can control it. If your phone has an automatic home button that stays on one hundred percent of the time, it's impossible to judge when it will come on and when it won't. During calls, killing conversations, business meetings, you-name-it, it has already happened! Delete from my all of devices, Immediately!
