Google Home App Reviews

I love it. I could clean the house while my little sits and watch’s he’s favorite YouTube shows ?

I have two Amazon Echo products, wink hub, Harmony Remote, Cree bulbs, etc. In other words I have a very connected home and thought I’d give the Google Home mini a shot, especially with the Black Friday price and the $25 Walmart credit. So far this product is far inferior to the Echo, app interface is confusing and not very intuitive. I spent over an hour trying to get the $25 credit from Google and Walmart.com and stuff unable to redeem it. I called customer support and they required receipt, serial number and proof of the advertisement for the $25 offer. Quite ridiculous but nonetheless I had these items and emailed them all to customer service and their only response was that a senior technical specialist will call me within an hour, it’s now been 2 hours with no call back. Very disappoint with Google customer service and the Google Home Mini. Save yourself the frustration and buy the Echo Dot.

Stop the ads

Can not stand this app. It takes forever to connect Apple tv is 1000 times faster , better , user friendly

It works but the user interface is not good. Confusing, disappointed.

Awesome, and works great!

Initial setup is easy, but navigation in app is very difficult. It’s hard even to find where to set up and control Lights, etc.

Not sure if I got something defective but everything works great except when we try to get it to make voice calls. It does not recognize the name of our contacts. At first I thought it was because I have apple. But now I realized the app this morning keeps crashing when I try to go to settings.

Love it

This is the perfect device. It can help you with whatever you need. It can answer almost any question and show you any news and has beautiful music quality when paired with Spotify or Google Play Music. It is a must get for Christmas or Black Friday!

Five Stars If: 1. Could assign Custom “Wake Up” for each device...with multiple devices they can sometimes eavesdrop on one another. 2. Activity listed so I can tap a prior activity instead of speaking.

It’s already crashed on me and it’s slow but cool freatures

Not user friendly

Since the update my chromecast has tons of issues connecting to the wifi. I have to set it up every time I want to use it.

Unable to connect to Bluetooth speakers buyer beware.

So far so ok.

Bought 3 Chrome Audio players and hooked them up to old stereos. Loaded Google Home on my iphone7 and have had troubles since installation. Won’t recognize one of the units, ‘grouped systems’ volume level doesn’t work, can’t just tap one into to adjust its audio. Loved the idea of this system but it’s no Sonos (which I had 5 Play1s before moving them to my restaurant.) Come on Google, get your $”*& together

It’s a such pain, at least once a week my phone and the device will not connect

This app received an update on 11/16 and since then, has been having issues. Below are my list of complaints/enhancements: 1. Still does not offer a 1 app solution. I have to go to Spotify to play music and then switch back to google Home app to adjust device specific volume. Spotify will let you adjust the group card volume, but not the specific devices in the group. 2. With the launch of the new app, my Google Home no longer shows up as an option to adjust volume. I can cast to it and see it in the group card. Additionally, I’m missing a chromecast and the Google Home in the volume adjustment of a separate group card. This is poor testing. 3. The new app requires additional clicks to change the device specific volume. 4. Would like to have a feature where the assistant volume can be set higher than the media volume, but currently not available. I really want this solution to compete with Sonos and willing to accept the short comings of the hardware since its 1/10th the price, but the software is getting really frustrating especially since it’s such an easy design fix.

I can now control the smart bulbs and smart plugs and even my roomba at home. The down side is that apparently it’s not as smart as Siri. When I ask it “is it cold now”, it understands. However, if I say “is it cold outside now”, it doesn’t understand.”, but Siri does. The other thing is it has a limited number of smart home appliances compared to Alex (amazon echo).
