Open music app from nest audio speaker

Viva162 — Fri, 21 Apr 2023 16:56:11 GMT

Hello!! I like to listen to my local radio station and I have their app on my phone... I currently connect my phone to my speaker using Bluetooth and open the app on my phone.

Is there any way to have my nest audio speaker open this app using a voice command?

I have attached a screenshot of the app in the store.

Have you considered just asking the speaker to play the radio station instead of streaming it from your phone with Bluetooth?

If you don't want to do that, Google Assistant on your speaker cannot open apps on your phone. However, you can ask Google Assistant on your phone to open apps on your phone.

Thank you for the reply. When I ask it to "play weqx" it uses the TuneIn app, which has a lot of ads that interrupt the radio program. I was hoping there's an alternative
