2/3/25. I am now been trying to use this App for " hands free " while driving - but you have to Open the Google assistant App first and then when you try to send a text - the message doesn't always come across of what's been said over Bluetooth device. This is unacceptable , especially when one is required to use hands free if driving. Please fix App or change it so it functions like it's supposed too. It does no good for " Hands free ". If it's not doing what you say.

I don't even know if this app works or not. I have it but when I open it says "The Google Assistant isn't supported on this device". It seems this app actually messed up my microphone because there is a conflict with Gemini as well. All in all, terrible integration and complete lack of any planning and proper integration. 0/10 Will be returning my Pixel next week and never get another one!
