Description

Create a more organized and personalized smart home with Google Home. Set up, manage, and control your Google Nest, Wifi, and Chromecast devices, plus thousands of compatible smart home products like lights, cameras, thermostats, and more – all from the Google Home app. Personalize your home view. Pin your most-used devices, automations, and actions to the Favorites tab for easy access right when you open the app. View your Nest cameras and doorbell live feeds, and easily scan through event history. Set up and manage Routines in the Automations tab. And quickly edit any permissions in the consolidated Settings tab. Understand what’s going on at home with a glance. The Google Home app is designed to show you the status of your home and keep you up to date with what you may have missed. Check in on your home anytime and see a recap of recent events. Control your home from anywhere. Turn on the lights, adjust the thermostat, or get an alert when there’s a person or package at your front door. With Google Home for Wear OS, you can control your home right from your compatible smartwatch. A helpful home is a private home. Protecting your privacy starts with one of the world’s most advanced security infrastructures, which we build directly into Google products so they’re secure by default. And Google uses your compatible devices and data to make your home helpful, but only in the ways you allow.

  • Sufficient enough

    Google sometimes has bugs and has a prolonged patch time, but I’ve been enjoying their services.
  • Hilariously bad app! Garbage!

    It must’ve taken some serious effort to write an app this bad. Interface is confusing, disorganized, and dysfunctional. Many functions simply fail with a recommendation to “try again,” which never works. Simple common tasks like restarting the network (which frequently fails) requires digging several layers into a non-intuitive menu. Honestly one of the worst apps in the App Store and apparently written by beginners working for one of the most corrupt companies in the world (Google). Do better!
  • Unusable at times

    If this keeps up, I am going to ditch all my nest products (doorbell, 2 x thermostat, 3 x cameras) and get off their entire ecosystem. The app is buggy and randomly starts eating away at my battery life. Given the recent reviews, it looks like it is going downhill.
  • Connection trouble all the time

    TL;DR: the google home app is not user friendly and I regret buying into the google ecosystem. I was so excited to replace my echo dot with a google mini. The setup was absolutely horrendous. I have a chromecast that was set up awhile ago, but when I logged into the google home app everything had changed and it forced me to set up a new “home” to add the mini. For some reason only the new mini was added to the home- even though I could see the chromecast. It just ignored those during setup. It caused issues with my chromecast that I had to re-setup to fix. There are also such limited settings in the app- either that or they are buried and I couldn’t find them. I didn’t think I liked the echo dot all that much until I got the google home. I regret my purchase and unless there are major changes I will not look to buy a google product again.

    Just got the nest thermostat. It’s a little confusing, but there is a learning curve. The thermostat really performs well.

    I had nest cameras, and since I had liked them. I bought more, however I didn't realize how Google fudged it up so bad. The videos don't record, or play back. Don't waste your money on it. More folks are also having the same issue.
  • A Nightmare for Nest Users

    I’ve been loyal to Nest for about 7 years now. Fantastic product. Unfortunately, new Nest Cams are only compatible with Google Home and NOT the Nest App. Google Home is inferior in comparison to the Nest App. Too much lagging, real time video takes forever to pop up. The interface is choppy and inconsistent. Using it forces you to accidentally use functionalities you don’t wish to use. Zooming in is a nightmare, checking video is a nightmare, getting updates is a nightmare… and it’ll never get better from what I can see. Google, please make the Nest App available again, or dive into the tech that makes it a functional piece. My home security is surrounded by this product. Do better.
