"I don`t know why but apparently some pixel devices can`t setup some smart devices without the help of this app, I was a bit hesitant because of the reviews but I guess it`s different for people depending on the device they`re trying to connect, for me it helped connect my Lenovo smart clock 2 which I couldn`t activate through the Google home app."

"Simply doesn`t work. Trying to get a Chromecast to connect to new WiFi network and the app keeps saying it can`t communicate with the Chromecast, which is confusing as it found it and knows it`s name so must be able to communicate with it to get that data, so now I`ve got a Chromecast that is looking for the old WiFi network so is useless."
