The assistant sometimes works fine but a lot of the times has issues understanding the most simple commands, asking for "how do I get to [blank]" only tells you the length , how far the place you look for is away but it doesn't tell you the information you asked for, it's not telling you which options you have to travel to the place. Sometimes setting up an alarm doesn't work and a lot of the times the assistant reacts to sounds that don't even come close to "ok Google". It's an unpractical tool

Honestly I never needed an app for Google assistant, it was embedded anyway. Always worked with voice recognition. For some time it has completely stopped, doesn't work with any sort of settings change or update. In the end I downloaded this app, just to check if things have changed with Android phone but still no luck. Google do something about it.

Just downgraded this to 3 stars because now when I open it, the microphone is off. Whereas I used to be able to open it and say what I wanted. Now I have to do the extra step of pressing the microphone icon. (and it has nothing to do with training my voice model as suggested by the developers. It's simply that the mic is no longer on by default when opened)
