Google home UI is trash

[Briandoe]

I'm just wondering if anybody has any proof of anyone at Google internally ever using the Google home app. 

The user interface is horrendous, everything is hidden, settings can't be found and they're not adjustable, you can't adjust the color schemes or add any customization, you have to Google how to change settings and these are the most obvious issues. 

Right now I have to go back and reset every device in my house because I changed my Wi-Fi password. None of the Google home minis that I have can be reconnected through the app. That's absolutely ridiculous. 

To reconnect any of my light bulbs or other Internet of things devices. I have to go through 18 hidden screens and it's honestly less work just to reset from the other apps. Again, these are base level problems. The issues go far beyond that. 

I have far more to say but guess what? Googles speech to text just screwed up and is no longer working....... 

Why is it so obvious that no one internally actually uses any of these products? And if they do how are they not fired for incompetency?????

I understand your frustration with the Google Home app experience. We appreciate this feedback as it highlights areas where we need to improve the user interface and workflow, particularly around device management after network changes.

The Wi-Fi reconnection process for multiple devices is something our team is actively working to simplify. In our upcoming releases, we're focusing on reducing the number of steps required and making settings more accessible without needing to search for them.

Would you be willing to share more specific details about which devices you're having the most trouble reconnecting?
