### *---- "Useless"
Can’t integrate my calendar.
-- AnriR, 2024-05-27

### *---- "Disappointing"
It doesn’t work, and has no added benefits that I can take advantage of. Perhaps it’s an iOS issue, but it’s half baked as a software in terms of compatibility between Google devices and this Apple ecosystem. Like the display device menu option loads without fail.
-- Gana Dube, 2024-04-18

### *---- "Never online"
The device keeps disconnecting from my WiFi very frustrating. Happens every 2 days. All other devices reconnect auto. Except this. Maybe I’m doing something wrong…

Poor connectivity
-- djm-mashao, 2023-09-20

### *---- "Inconsistent and unreliable"
This app , automation of Google Nest and presence sensing of my phone is inconsistent and unreliable. Some times it work and some time it doesn’t. Most of the time I need to change my “Home” and “Away” manually. 🙄
-- Anglebright, 2023-09-17

### *---- "Resetting Wi-Fi"
Overly complicated to reconnect divides when you change password no real help on line
-- MFV$$, 2023-08-09

### *---- "You will struggle if u own IOS products"
Not using this chromecast to its full max due to i have IOS phone
-- *@$!!!!!!, 2023-07-29

### ****- "Isn’t the easiest app"
I’m quite satisfied with the application, I can make edits and control my smart home devices very well. The unsatisfactory part is it isn’t the easiest app to master. It takes a significant time to do so.
-- Yolion™, 2023-07-28

### *---- "Poorly developed"
Does not connect to devices: "something went wrong". Nice idea but fairly useless if it won't work
-- Email60, 2023-05-07

### *---- "Needs some important features"
*Allow siri to control appliances within app 
*Create Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets to control appliances 
* allow to lock app with Face ID 
* integrate with Siri Shortcuts to create automations
-- HB Official, 2023-04-28

### *---- "MacBook Air not recognised"
Good morning,
I recently bought a Google Home so as to be able to play music and stream through its speaker. However, it will not recognise my computer. It does recognise my iphone strangely. Before I return it, is there any advice you can offer to rectify the issue. 
Kind regards,
Bev Forbes
