So far not so great. Better for questions but the app won’t let me add Philips Hue lights so cant get home automation working.
Google Home App Reviews
Comparing to Echo
I can’t download the app!!
I’ve been trying to download this app but nothing happens!! I have WiFi or without WiFi and nothing works! Was this app discontinued!?? Thanks in advanced.
Too much memory usage.
The app takes too much memory on iPhone. Can hey advise on a fix for it. It should be apart of the start up instructions.
Looser
Took 5 tries to connect to myWiFi net. Supposedly supports Plex, but can never find any music. ALWAYS pushes Google Music.
Very buggy
Extremely buggy, this app hardly works.
Need an account to use now? NO.
Fortunately I do not have autoupdate all my apps and I have learned today that now Google Home is requiring me to sign in with my Gmail account to access my Chromecast set up. I have owned a Chromecast for over three years, but now I will never use this app again. This is greedy pandering for more personal information. Dont let companies do this to you. Stockpile your DVDs because our world is getting more and more effed up and soon hard copies will be the only thing you can control access too.
Wow
Very fun to play with :D
What happens when you pay tech bros to break good ideas
Updates have made this an example of the convoluted and unnecessary need to pay programmers to update and change something that simply works into a mess of data collection for profit margin to justify their inflated salaries. Silicon Valleys slow deflation in a nutshell.
Can’t get my account to sync
Sadly I can’t connect my account to access my calendar, etc. I can’t continue past recording “ok google” and “hey google.”
Half-effort
I absolutely love needing to disconnect and reconnect to my Chromecast every single time I need to pause, fast forward or rewind. And the volume controls make me want to rip my balls off so future generations do not have to deal with this mediocre application.
No Bluetooth Speaker Support
I have a DOT and use it primarily for controlling lights and music. My music is on Google Play and was glade when the came out with a mini. It arrived today to find I cannot connect my speaks. Not having a way to connect my Bluetooth speakers is a deal breaker. Google you missed the mark on this one.
Not Google Worthy
Most of the time half my devices dont show up under my devices. Can’t seem to add a second persons voice. All around the app is just hit or miss, needs work. Also, google home has a very hard time picking up on the wake words, again hit or miss. The new google home mini However works flawlessly when responding to its wake words. I believe the new google home mini was designed with better far field microphones, but on the downside google messed up by mass producing the mini’s with a hardware defect forcing them to permanently disable the top button. How can google think that’s ok? Why should anyone buy that?
To whom it may concern
Make it more like a real google search engine
Sometimes it works sometimes it wont stop buffering
I have a love/hate relationship with Chromecast. Connection and streaming can work flawlessly and recently Ive been suffering with continuous buffering and stream freezing. After checking both my internet speed and connectivity I then checked my router and the connection is great. Not sure whats going on but can it stop already. I wonder if others are having the same issues?.
It worked, updated, now it doesn’t work
I was using the app last night and it updated today and now chromecast no longer works and it won’t sync/see my device. REALLY disappointing! They Should have left it alone. So much for an update...
Rarely connects as expected
Can be very frustrating
Phone quality
Phone quality is really bad
Boss man
