Description

The Google Assistant app provides another way to launch the Assistant that’s already available on your phone. It allows you to quickly access your Google Assistant with one tap. You can still access your Assistant by pressing and holding down your home button or by simply saying, "Ok Google."

Remind yourself to send a birthday card, make calls hands free during your commute, and unwind by playing your favorite tunes. You personal Google is here to help. Ask your Google Assistant questions and get things done. Use it anytime, anywhere.

With the Google Assistant, you can:

• Make quick phone calls on the go ("Call Mom")

• Send text messages ("Text Sara I am running late")

• Set reminders ("Remind me to buy a birthday gift for John")

• Take a selfie ("Take a selfie")

• Set calendar events ("Set a calendar event for dinner with Charlie tomorrow from 7-9")

• Play music ("Play jazz music on YouTube")

• Navigate places ("Get me directions home")

• Weather information ("Do I need an umbrella today?")

• Receive updates on the latest news ("Tell me the news")

* Your device must still meet the requirements in order to use the Google Assistant (Google Search v7.11 or higher and minimum memory requirements).

* You do not need this app to use the Google Assistant if you already have the Google Assistant on your device.

Google say the Google Assistant supports personalization, however, that's one of the areas that needs significant improvement. For an example, why can't I call my Google Assistant by the name of my choice? Next problem: Google is innovating in isolation. For an example, there's no way to select or copy the Google Assistant conversations. Why doesn't Google ask what peeps wants to do with Google Assistant through UserVoice or any other platform of their choice? Why can't Google build software enabled hub with Google Assistant to enable IoT communications from any device supports Wi-Fi/Wi-Fi Direct, Bluetooth LE or LTE? Next is a hardware question, but why can't the flagship phones ship with ZigBee or Z-Wave hardware support just like LTE, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth?

I have already signed up to Google beta version. And my Lenovo K6 power gas inbuilt Google Assistant. And so I don't need this. But it is best way for the people who have not Google Assistant and one more thing it can't capture selfies but it can open any app like camera or music. And it has more data than Apple's Siri. LOL😂😂😂 SIRI dies not know the population of India... Siri can only gossip and open some apps . LOL. Apna Android zindabad......🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

Nice work guys, I know it is the first release.. So there will be some bugs.In my device it got stuck, most of time. Not responsive and I need to force close. And give it a name, cmon guys "OK google" is kinda sick. Give it a name...I'll give u 5 star+...Keep on updating....

Trent Con

Not able to operate on Moto x 2nd gen even though list of requirements is met. That's zero ability to use but since it's the 1st release I'll still give 2 stars for the concept and fact of finally making it a downloadable app.

hey google its nice but It need some changes for better and easier work. please make it floating widget like a shortcut that it can be used while surfing net or anything else. It may be then more useful for students. Please update it and make it more efficient for us. Love Google

Mayank Sharma

I don't trust this thing now. I was just watching a video on YouTube about things you can do with Google Assistant and the guy in the video was saying OK Google to unlock his phone in the video.. but suddenly Google Assistant on my phone responded.. I don't think it's safe to enable voice unlocking with Google Assistant.

This seems to be a shortcut to the Assistant that resides in the main Google app. This is useful because it eliminates the need for a home button long press or saying Ok Google. The microphone button on the Now Launcher only does a simple Google search; it doesn't open Assistant. But with this app you can place a shortcut on the home screen. This app is also useful for Tasker automation.

Bubba Callahan October 6, 2017

needs work!!! Have it make a sound when I activate and deactivate it. Make it appear faster when I want it to. I have to hold down the home button for at least 1 seconds before I can speak and that is if I have a good internet connection. I hate the white background, consider transparent instead. Voice still sounds robotic. History can't be cleared.

Tech Boy October 7, 2017

Nice but when I ask it to open any app or make a call or any other thing, etc. It doesn't responds and the dots start appearing on it and I just used to become sick by waiting for it for such a long time. Plz fix this bug but all the way it's very good and interesting to talk with it. Thank you.

Shibu Jose October 18, 2017

One of the best used apps by Google.. Missing the feature what's on my screen... Earlier ones scans the images and get you the phone number and lot of things we could do.. Now that feature is taken off.. Feeling bad.. Rest of things great.

Harshit Gupta October 8, 2017

Earlier i used to set alarms and reminders, but now it does nothing when i ask it to set an alarm or reminder it just waits and waits. Earlier it used to work 10/10 but now works 1/10. Plz fix this ASAP

Anirudh Parengal October 9, 2017

Assitant doesn't work after some time on my redmi device Initially it works fine but later on it can't make calls, keep alarms, make notes or reminders, play sings or open other apps... I am using it in english (india) I ve heard that people do face this problem and are dorced to change their system language to english US for smooth functioning of assistnt Developers please find a solution/ update and let us know.

bhushan ingole October 10, 2017

Hi GA team, this app is not working in my phone Moto G5 plus. I have checked prerequisites in the link that appears in app description. Everything seems to be correct. Still it's not working. Please find a solution.

Avinash Upadhyay October 5, 2017

Whenever I give it command it stuck. Only the dots are playing. Frustrated with the app, the previous version was good. I can easily use it to make call and other things using old "ok google". Now I just cannot rollback to the previous one as it is preinstalled in google.

Yashwant Malviya October 11, 2017

For my LE1s this app works great untill and unless your screen is active... It does not open once screen is locked.... Also for now no indian music or other services are supported... Alexa now supports saavan and lot of other services... Seems google is lagging behind in india....

October 12, 2017

It's a good assistant than Siri on Apple phone. But there is a problem that Siri can work from the lock screen but the Google assistant can't work from the lock screen. Make sure that the next update come with this feature which will make it the best assistant on all the smart phones.

Brandon Giesel October 14, 2017

The Google Assistant brings the power of Google into a contextually aware Assistant that is good at helping you get things done. Unfortunately, Google thinks that they should offer the Assistant to only select devices being Android Phones (6.0+), iPhones (iOS 10+), Android TV devices (6.0+), and most confusingly iPads (iOS 10+). This makes no sense. Why does Google support iPads, but won't support Android powered tablets. This is ridiculous and completely unfair. Google, why do you do this to your loyal fans. Apple fans can use Siri on their iPads and Amazon fans have Alexa on their Fire Tablets. Why don't Android fans have access to Assistant on their tablets?

Nick DePue October 12, 2017

Google Assistant is great but I believe "Google Assistant" isn't very personal. I'd prefer to be able to give it a name and be able to customize Google Assistant with names, voices and so on. I find that google might prefer personalization as it does with search results, ads, recommended apps and services. They even want to be more personal than apple and in this case, Siri. Every apple consumer calls their AI Siri, and it would give google the upper hand if it allowed consumers to name and personalize the AI on their phone/app

Jeffrey Steben October 13, 2017

Google Assistant worked like a charm on my phone before it was added to the play store. Now it tells me my phone doesn't meet requirements and no longer works at all.

snigdha singh October 9, 2017

"We are still configuring your Google Assistant app" what the hell, this message is showing from yesterday and even I installed it again and then same. Didn't expected from Google. Very disappointing.

Sajan Gupta October 6, 2017

Love it!! Witty, smart, fun, and very responsive. It's extremely rare that I had to repeat myself. It's voice is least robot like and only getting better with time.

Rinku Moni Barman October 6, 2017

I have all of system requirements 2GB OF RAM,GOOGLE APP 7.11 and 1080p screen resolution and Android marshmallow i have cleared data of Google app and play services serval times and rebooted device. but not getting assistant why i am not getting Assistant?

Sanaullah Shaikh October 8, 2017

It's really a great and useful app But when fingerprint are applied to lock an app it says that " actually I can't open the app beacuse your device is lock" for all the other apps also which are not locked.therfore it's become frustrating..please fix this ..Google..

Clay Bradbury October 9, 2017

I love this technology. Having easy access to Google Assistant on all my devices and smart watch really helps me stay organized, healthy, and confident. *Note: Brilliant tool for people with ADHD; I have recommended this AI to friends and clients alike.

Justin Sharpley October 12, 2017

Never works when you're driving and loses connection constantly. The only time I need it is when I'm driving and it never works. Also the screen should close after you're done using it. Why do I need to screen open after I finished using it.

Mark Gulino October 5, 2017

Love Assistant, hate saying "OK Google" to activate. Would love to just be able to say "Assistant" else give it a name like all the other AI's.

Safar With Sribus October 8, 2017

Sorry bt some feature are not working on my phone redmi note 4. like call my mom, or call anyone, and many more features are not working...how can i set it properly? Please help me google.

Shakti Shree Mishra October 14, 2017

Nice work guys ....... Better than cortana and bixby......... I used to use cortana in lumia 925 and also bixby in s8+.......but the assistant is quite good from both of them......now using The Assistant in note 8 ...... quite good ...... too small bugs ......no need to say .......... not reading "ok google" ........think that updates'll clear them .....keep it up guys ......

Mamata Tamhankar October 12, 2017

It doesn't support to my device 😒 why this partiality??? I have all thing which it needs to start and they are up-to-date but still it gives problem.

Chandrachur Sarkar October 5, 2017

Great Assistance.I think this is just a short-cut link for those who are using android 6 or android 7.But those who have a lower android version this Google assistant app is really very helpful. Thanks google for staying with us like this.

Sharjeel Lucifer October 6, 2017

I have google assistant already in my phone but still I'm rating it because I'm using this assistant for a long time and I can say it's far better than Siri and bixby

J Brady October 9, 2017

Great potential here but a lot if flaws with it. If I ask it to play a son on my play list, it shows me the song, but it wont actually play it unless I tap it... which kind if defeats the purpose! When I ask it to "play news" then ask to "stop playing news", it wont stop playing it, even though it acknowledges my request with an "Ok". You cant change its name from "Google Assistant" to something else that you like better. The list goes on. There are still too MANY bugs fir this to have been released.

October 13, 2017

good but fails doing complicated tasks....and get slow when you need it... so you have to take your phone in your hand and do it manually... so practically their is no benefits of having this.....

Anup Gupta October 8, 2017

The best voice assistant. I understand this is the first release so there are some bugs like pressing on install app doesn't do anything. Fix the bugs ASAP. Other than that the app worked flawlessly on my RedMI 4

October 8, 2017

Add some basic offline functionality such as making calls and opening apps. The need for an Internet connection just to open an app doesn't make any sense. The AI is cool; I like it. Keep improving ;)

Gopal Raval October 6, 2017

It new but for me I am already using press home button so it's nothing exitement forme but I love Google Assistant..that why I gave 5 *

sagar soraisham October 7, 2017

It would be a 5 star if you include power controls and commands like, 'close all apps' to close background apps, 'goodnight' or 'goodbye' to close the google assistance dialog box, 'sleep' to turn off screen etc.. Please do consider this dev...

October 12, 2017

I think you guys are doing excellent work.Your really out shining the other apps...... damn (Chris Cornell💔💔). Anyway keep up the good work. I'm ready for some mind blowing updates!!!!! Works great with my new Quiet Comforts with the built in assistant. Are you guys McDonalds cause I'm LOVIN IT!!!!!!!

ARUN UDUPA October 11, 2017
