User Reviews

Most reviews portray Google Assistant on iPhone as unreliable and often unresponsive: it frequently claims it doesn’t understand, fails to perform basic commands, and even crashes. Users report persistent update prompts with no available updates, and core features like news briefings and weather updates failing to play or update. Notification spamming and weak language support add to frustration. A few users say it was comparable to Siri in some scenarios or usable for years, but those positives are outweighed by stability and accuracy issues. Overall sentiment among these reviews is negative and exasperated.
Pros
  • Occasionally performs on par with Siri in some reviews.
  • Weather information can work for some users.
  • Used by long-time users for years, indicating familiarity and habitual usefulness when functioning.
Cons
  • Frequently unable to understand or execute commands, often saying 'I don’t understand.'
  • Keeps prompting for updates even when no update is available or the app is up to date.
  • Glitchy, buggy, and unstable—crashes or closes unexpectedly on launch or during use.
  • News briefings and weather updates fail to play or respond reliably.
  • Notifications can’t be customized and are overly intrusive; language support is weak (e.g., French is non-existent).

So, after testing Google AI with a couple of other AI models, i did notice some things. Google Assistant is pretty good with sort queries or short commands. However, sometimes when you ask more complex questions, it often times struggles and spits out the response sorry i don’t understand. Now Copilot and some other ai providers seem to handle complex queries pretty well. When i tried to ask google how to turn on my google nest hub gen 2 nightlight, it was like i don’t understand. When i asked my trusty ai friend copilot, it had no trouble at all guiding me through my google Nest Hub set up. Google assistant ai seems like its for small tasks. Just my honest opinion.

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.
