Since the latest firmware was pushed, my right microphone is no longer working. I've tried a factory reset and removing then reinstalling the app, but still no right microphone. Prior to this firmware, I had no issues.

I've never updated this app a single time in 6 years and have never had a problem with my Gen1 Pixel Buds. I guess the 5 stars is for me for being smart enough to realize there's really no reason to update this app. P.S. your earbuds fit much better in the opposite ears than indicated.

When the app works, it works well, but in some scenarios, the Pixel Buds specific settings fail to appear and the only configuration options available are the standard Bluetooth headphone options. Edit: Much easier to use now that it is a distinct app I can always open.

Works well, but it would be nice if there was an easier way to see how much battery is remaining. Instead of going in the app like adding something in the notification tab that tells you how much battery is remaining instead of it showing up when it was low on battery

I do not own Pixel Buds. I will not ever own Pixel Buds. And yet, I am forced to have this installed. Click uninstall? It uninstalls the updates, which I then have to reinstall. Totally useless bloatware.

F you for auto installing this on my phone google. I don't own any Pixel Buds, and will never buy one now.

I do not own a pair of Pixel Buds. This is what it says right in the description of WHAT'S NEW: • Freedom to Choose: Pixel owners can now uninstall the app if they don't use Pixel Buds, keeping their device clutter-free. Completely untrue! I get notified at least once a month for not just this app's update, but 8 others that I am unable to delete. These useless apps just sit in my phone and take up space. I don't use them, I didn't need them, and I certainly did not download them.
