"This is a strictly worse non operational Google home. I used to be able to setup my Chromecast with Google home, but for some reason they REMOVED that functionality and put it in this app that ``cannot communicate with Chromecast.`` Turn off wifi every time even though the next step is always turn on wifi and connect to the Chromecast what a terrible design choice for his switch."

"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."

"I hope that you kept your old phone. This app wouldn`t connect to my gen 1 Chromecast on my Pixel 6, so I had to pull my Pixel 3 out of retirement."

"What a piece of garbage is this? Firstly, we got Google Home app only to manage all these devices and now we need another app to manage the ``managing devices`` part? And the frustrating part - thus freaking app does NOT work!!! Fix this already"
