Google can't even design software that works with their own Google pixel 7A phones. This Android assistant is a nightmare. I can no longer use the speak button in my car. I can't even use the talk button on the bar at the bottom of the phone. I have to push the power button in to dial a number in my car which means I have to manipulate my cell phone. This never used to happen until the other day when Google did some kind of upgrade using their dei employees.

Faster than regular Google, especially if you have slow wi fi. But you cannot filter search results by date range like you can with regular Google --- e.g., "last year" or "last 24 hours". This is a HUGE negative. Also you cannot turn off Discover Mode so 90% of your home screen is links to junk news. It is visually distracting. They should just have the search field in the middle of a white blank screen, with nothing else to distract your eyes.

Only downloaded this because my regular Google app crashes on start up. How is this the only Google app without a dark mode? I can't imagine that'd be a difficult thing to program since every other Google app can do it. Considering there are multiple people requesting it, and have been since 2022, it's clear they're simply choosing to ignore these requests.
