1. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Suddenly doesn’t wanna play any playlists. This app used to be pretty good. I could play any playlist from my Apple Music account. It no longer plays anything or it plays something completely random that’s not on my playlist. It’s become completely useless.

2. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   So sad.. So many features where widdled away by Google over the years, sure, but this is too much. Gemini can't even play the news. Makes me just want to get a regular kitchen radio. What's the point of all this??

3. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Ya no funciona. No sabe nada

4. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Shutting down on March 31st 2026. Don’t even bother downloading this app. It’s going to be shutting down any day now. They announced last year that Assistant will be replaced by Gemini.

5. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

   Unbelievably incompetent/buggy. Unbelievably incompetent/buggy

6. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Works terribly. Used to kind of function, now I can’t get it to do half the things I tell it to and it turns off dark mode 70% of the time

7. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Can’t do anything - says I need to update. No commands work anymore. It says I need to update to the latest version, but this app hasn’t been updated in 8 months on the App Store.

8. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Doesn’t speak French. It’s French is non-existent

9. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

   Not Working Properly. Keeps asking me to update even though it is the latest version on Apple App Store.

10. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Simply Terrible. Simply terrible.

11. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Use to be great now is not good. Use to work great now anything u ask it says it doesn’t understand and ask you to update the app except there is no app update on Apple App Store

12. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

    Doesn’t work. I have been reporting for the last few months in app that the assistant no longer does your news report it keeps saying sorry I don’t understand. I believe this is do to the switch of using more of Gemini programming as my smart speakers still do it and for a little while they lost the voice I set up but are now ok . I like to hear the news on my way to work and now I can’t as this doesn’t work

13. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Rerouted Broken Program. This review needs to be written without issuing a star, not even 1/10 of a star. The program has been rerouted so much it is clearly broken. Doesn’t do what it’s supposed to. But it does always say, ‘Sorry I don’t understand.’

14. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Why I don’t like Google assistant. Once I open the app it closes it mediately I try it over and over again and it keeps closing the app.

15. ★★★★★excessive or broken notifications

    Unwanted Spam. No option to turn off useless notifications or select the ones I want. Spamming me with suggestions for searches earns you one-star. This is an ongoing problem with all google apps. I hate this developer.

16. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    I don’t understand. This app really does not work on my Iphone. When I ask it to play the news on my morning routine it just says “I don’t understand”. It used to work but not now.

17. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Stupid. Google assistant is dumber than pre Apple Intelligence Siri. It is not ai, it is not smart, it is a response bot, spitting out the same answer when I tell it to clarify or change the prompt while keeping the same realm, it is unimaginative, idiotic, and infuriating bot that has rested my case to never get google home and stay team Alexa.

18. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Does not work. Asked to be updated But already updated

19. ★★★★★excessive or broken notifications

    Weather reminder, push notification. Oh yeah, and even Google say I can set up a push notification for the weather every day in Fayetteville, Tennessee but when I’m in the latest version of Google assistant, it says I don’t understand repeatedly

20. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Play news. Kindly return the ability to play news briefings

21. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Won't play the news anymore. The assistant won't play the news anymore. It just says "I don't understand"

22. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Terrible. Used to be able to play news similar to google smart devices but now says Don’t Understand like lots it brain. Totally frustrating

23. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Broken. Using this for years but now it won’t play the news only on iPhone. Works great on android tablet. Good morning routine no longer works.

24. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    One star reveal. I don’t like this It’s because that whenever I ask a question to it when it knows it, it says don’t understand so make a better version make it guidelines less strict

25. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Doesn’t work. Doesn’t work and doesn’t seem to know how to reason with you to answer a question. It kept saying it didn’t understand with no further thought to simple questions.

26. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Ну і де. Українська мова??? Уже ж це всрате джеміні може, а цей обрубок чому ні?

27. ★★★★★login, signup and account access

    Update all in Google Play store?. All of a sudden, this year, I can’t play background sounds for sleep in the Assistant app. It keeps telling me to update the app in the Google play store, but I’m using an iPhone. I have done everything, including wiping out my data, removing all devices, signing out of all devices, etc.. seems like many people have this same issue all year

28. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Useless. When attempting to use on iPad OS: “Update your Google Assistant You need to get the latest version of Google Assistant to show this content. Check the Play Store for an update.” FAIL.

29. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Hum to search not working on iphone. Disappointment

30. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Not that Intelligent anymore. Not powered by AI
