AWFUL!! App is obtrusive!! Constantly opens during documents, telemed appointments, movies, gaming, and type of phone activity that I can't be interrupted on. It's very frustrating when AI just pops up and it won't dismiss. This doesn't make a good impression. I think it's the worst invention EVER!! I HATE IT!! I DISABLE IT, & IT KEEPS RETURNING!!

Google needs to give users the ability to either change the wake word or specify the device we want to issue a command to. I have a Nest Hub, and I'd prefer to not have it think I'm trying to give it a command when I'm trying to do so on my phone. I currently use Bixby, and that 'assistant' is more often than not less than helpful. Make this happen, Google. If it can be done on Alexa devices, it can be done on Google devices (meaning Android phones, tablets, etc.).
