One of the most useful features is now gone? Location based reminders can no longer be made via voice commands? Things like "Hey Google, remind me to buy batteries next time I'm at Costco" no longer work. I used this feature quite often, especially when driving because I can't create a reminder manually without pulling over. It was a great tool when you don't want to forget something you thought of while on the way somewhere. Siri just got way more attractive, as my kid smugly pointed out.

Most of the time, this is great. But the worst thing the creators could have done was remove voice unlock. If I'm using Google Assistant, usually that means my hands aren't free. I shouldn't have to hear "for that, you'll need to unlock your phone." If I could unlock my phone, I wouldn't be using assistant. I also experience this weird thing where there are two different voices responding to me ever since I switched from the default voice.

The voice recognition seems to work when it wants to. Might be tied to the security updates for Android. One week I was able to set reminders without unlocking my phone which was great, then it stopped working. The settings in the options don't change so I never know when a feature stops working. Annoying as hell. I might need to make a call, or get some quick directions but I can't unlock while driving, so really sucks when it stops working.
