Google Assistant is definitely getting worse and worse all the time. When the Google Homes first released they were actually pretty useful and handy. I was willing to pick a few up and they served a good purpose. They ran CIRCLES around Alexa and all those.

Now many years later, the devices don't hear questions correctly, have to ask them four different times, they can't even pick up my wife's prompt words anymore, don't even give reasonable answers when they do get the question right... It's made hundreds of dollars worth of devices infuriating and useless.

I bought a product that worked. It no longer works because it's been "updated".

The worst part is that they're still way better than Alexa. I hate the Google Home app; I can't use the Alexa app.

Yeah, that's still true as well. But it feels like one step ahead. Before it was in a totally different field. It's gotten that much worse.

I'm so glad I'm not alone in this opinion. It's absurd.

No, a lot of people recognize it has gotten worse, but the post is a device that doesn't run off google maps but rather another guidance program so it will end up off topic everywhere
