This app and the Pixel Buds are great. Occasionally there have been minor issues, but most of those are due to the fickleness of Bluetooth, and I am able to resolve them by putting the buds back in their case and toggling Bluetooth off for a minute and turning it back on. I like a lot of the features like hearing wellness and also the ability to customize how your touch controls work.

Not sure why everyone slams this app, it's actually a decent app. I have had absolutely zero issues with it after using it for a couple of months now. The pixel pro earbuds are very nice, sound quality is excellent (don't use them audio calls, just music and video). The app has all the functionality I would expect it to have an honestly, I prefer it over the Sony app for my much more expensive over the ear headset. Again, I have no idea why everyone is slamming the app with low ratings.

Upd2: "uninstall" removes updates, but the original app remains on the phone, according to G-Play. Upd: Thank you for making it possible to uninstall this app. Finally, someone at Google heard this! I wish other optional apps were uninstallable on Pixel too! Original: This app came preinstalled with Pixel 10 Pro. I don't need it, as I don't use Buds and I don't drink Bud. 😉 I cannot get rid of this bloatware. I don't need this app to run at startup or at all, consuming phone's resources!

If your Pixel Buds app is useless and you can't see battery levels and/or features: 1) go to Bluetooth and forget the device 2) pair the headphones to your Bluetooth device. It will prompt you to go through the set-up procedure as if they're a brand-new pair of headphones being connected for the first time. Once finished, you should now be able to see battery levels of the individuals buds/case, along with the various interactive features.
