About this app

Create a more organized and personalized smart home with Google Home. Set up, manage, and control your Google Nest, Wifi, and Chromecast devices, plus thousands of compatible smart home products like lights, cameras, thermostats, and more – all from the Google Home app.

Personalize your home view.
Pin your most-used devices, automations, and actions to the Favorites tab for easy access right when you open the app. View your Nest cameras and doorbell live feeds, and easily scan through event history. Set up and manage Routines in the Automations tab. And quickly edit any permissions in the consolidated Settings tab.

Understand what’s going on at home with a glance.
The Google Home app is designed to show you the status of your home and keep you up to date with what you may have missed. Check in on your home anytime and see a recap of recent events.

Control your home from anywhere.
Google Home for Wear OS allows you to control compatible smart home devices from your watch. Turn on the lights, adjust the thermostat, or get an alert when there’s a person or package at your front door. Use the favorites tile or add a device to your watch face to make managing your home as easy as a tap on the wrist.

A helpful home is a private home.
Protecting your privacy starts with one of the world’s most advanced security infrastructures, which we build directly into Google products so they’re secure by default. And Google uses your compatible devices and data to make your home helpful, but only in the ways you allow. Visit the Google Nest Safety Center at safety.google/nest to learn more about how we protect your information and respect your privacy.

Google Home has completely streamlined my smart home experience. Voice commands are intuitive, and Google Assistant handles everything from controlling lights to playing my favorite music. I love the seamless integration with my devices, routines that simplify daily tasks, and the quick responses to questions. It's reliable, responsive, and truly enhances everyday convenience. A must-have for any modern home!

not really functional, layout gets worse w each update, GUI layout is often broken so you can't confirm or exit out of Windows because the check mark or X symbols are behind the notification bars. UPDATE FOR DEV: you pasted a complex qualtrics URL that I literally cannot select or highlight in the comment section, how am I supposed to fill out that form??? issue still exists, literally cannot use my Google Home automation because of this. FIX IMMEDIATELY PLZ!! Bad look, Google...

--- Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3/5) The Google Home app is okay overall, but not great. I use it to control a few smart devices, and when it works, it's actually pretty convenient. But it can be frustrating—sometimes it lags or disconnects for no reason, and that's annoying when you just want things to work smoothly. The layout isn’t super intuitive either; it could definitely be simplified. As someone who’s into tech and likes things to run efficiently, it need more polish and stability.
