Like everything else from Google in the past decade, they've taken a good thing and made it a finicky, glitchy, hot mess. Creating a speaker group and adding/removing devices from it at will used to be so easy, now it's a mission just to get it to recognize a Chromecast that's already linked to my account. Speaker groups disappear randomly, deleted items reappear, communication doesn't always work, and the list goes on.

The app has been steadily getting better over the years but there are two changes I wish Google would make. 1. The household selection button only shows on the favorites tab which doesn't make sense. It should be on the devices and/or automations tabs. 2. Give me a way to organize the automations. I have a lot of automations because of three households. It would be a lot easier to find the one I need if the automations can be categorized.

It is so hopelessly buggy, constantly losing its connection between my router, Chromecast devices, and apps. It is very frustrating. Yes, Google, I tried all of your steps below this review and that didn't fix things. And I use what one would think to be an amenable device, a Pixel 5, but still it is so buggy and very unreliable. I always hope the latest app update will fix things, but it never does. Maddening, buggy, infuriating!

We’re sorry you’ve had this experience with your Chromecast, Matthew. Make sure your phone and Chromecast are located within 15-20 feet of the router. Also, try reinstalling your apps and making sure they’re up-to-date. For more help, reach out through chat, phone or social forums: https://bit.ly/3mS38ME
