Hi Mary, I just searched the app store and didn't find it. Could you send the link from the app store?

I downloaded it and opened it, and in order to work at all, you need to give it permission to access location even when you're not using it. This is so it can make a so-called private map of where you have been and where you are when you're using it. So I wonder how much of a toll that is going to take on Battery Life. And do I really trust Google that t it's private? Given that they sell data? I was looking forward to certain aspects of Google assistant. But it seems to be totally crippled unless you give them permission. I don't see why he couldn't do other things that are not location dependent.
