Review summary

Most reviews are negative, citing slower performance and poor voice recognition after updates, plus strong privacy concerns and discomfort with Gemini replacing the original Assistant. A minority still praises the app when it works, describing it as useful and pleasant. Overall, reliability, privacy, and forced changes emerge as the top pain points, with occasional positive sentiment about functionality.

Pros

Good functionality and practical results when it works.
Generally well-liked with positive sentiment (e.g., 'I like Google Assistant', 'Excellent', 'best', 'lovely app').
Helpful for everyday tasks when functioning properly.

Cons

Poor voice recognition and frequent misunderstandings.
Updates slow down performance and reduce responsiveness.
Privacy concerns and perception of intrusive data collection / spyware.
Negative reaction to Gemini replacement; many want the original Google Assistant back or the option to remove Gemini.
Wake word activation issues and unwanted automatic opening.
