Ratings and reviews

Love the app. I'm just having a hard time with setting reminders. Ex: I want to set a reminder "tomorrow at 9" to remind me of an "event at 11," then it saves the reminder to remind me "today at 11." I will change rating once fixed. Also, I am having a hard time with changing reminders after assistant takes down a reminder with a mistake in it.

It worked amazing before the last update and I loved it, especially when driving. But suddenly it doesn't work at all. I try to log in to troubleshoot and it tells me there's an error. I can't load my assistant account or settings to figure out what's going on, it no longer connects to my truck, and whenever I give it a command, it errors out and closes. And because Google Assistant won't work, my Android Auto won't work, which means the only music I get is the horrid local country station.

Text messaging doesn't work anymore. Says failed sending try again later. It's something to do with the message+ texts messaging app. If I switch to a different messaging app it will work. But I don't want to use a different text messaging app. It will start working if I uninstall updates but then it ends up installing the updates and it stops working again. Very frustrating.
