Google Home Review

Google Home is a smart home speaker. It was launched by Google three years ago, on November 4, 2016, under the Google Nest brand. At the time of writing, the company has already sold more than 14 million devices. The device allows people to speak voice command and with their help to interact with Google Assistant, a famous virtual AI-powered assistant by Google.

Design and Usability

We really like to review the applications made by Google. As a rule, they have a clean interface, simple navigation, a lot of useful features that are available in one-three clicks. The Google Home app is not an exception. It uses all the latest trends and principles of material design. That is why all information is divided into blocks, and navigation is carried out using icons, not text.

This approach not only saves space but also makes it much easier to perceive information. White is used in the background, but some icons or important information are painted in different colors. Don’t worry, it doesn’t look sloppy at all. The colors are pastel and fit together.

Key Functions

Google Home integrates with dozens of applications and devices to provide you with one single control center. Moreover, the app can integrate not only with Google products but also with others that were not developed by the company.

Easily manage your home devices or create shortcuts for the most used features. With Google Home, it is easy and fast to switch on the music, send a message, or make a phone call. Due to the integration with smart home devices, you can control the lights, temperature, cameras, and so on.

Are you worried that you have so many different devices that you can easily get confused about them? Do not worry, the application has created a convenient functionality that allows you to divide all the devices into the rooms in which they are located.

Security & App Purchases

We always said that before you download and install Google applications, read the Privacy Policy first. Google collects, analyzes, and uses your private data.

Then, it is shared with other Google products and services. In short, Google Home will ask you access to phone calls, messages, contacts, a microphone, location, camera, and so on. 

Google Home is completely free to install, download, and use. There are no extra in-app purchases. Enjoy the app and features it has without paying money
