"This week, Google announced that it has finally completed moving "the best" of its Nest-branded smart home devices from the Nest app to the Google Home app. This means users of Google Nest hardware shouldn't have to bounce between two apps anymore and can finally delete the Nest app. (The "best" qualifier is doing some heavy lifting, and some features are still in Google's Public Preview beta program.)"
"The last five years have been trying ones for anyone committed to the Google Home ecosystem and Nest hardware. From discontinued products and increased subscription prices to the removal of features and declining performance of Google Assistant on Nest smart speakers, there hasn't been a lot to be happy about, as also evidenced by the Google Home "rant and complaints" megathread on Reddit."
Google has completed moving the best Nest-branded smart home devices from the Nest app into the Google Home app, allowing users to delete the Nest app while some features remain in Public Preview. The past five years included discontinued products, higher subscription prices, removed features, and declining Google Assistant performance on Nest speakers, fueling user frustration and a prominent Reddit megathread. The Google Home team has shifted focus to software and is revamping the Google Home app, improving functionality and making it accessible on more surfaces such as TVs and device widgets. Hardware development appears to have slowed despite continued updates to the Nest Learning Thermostat.
