Hi guys. I've installed the Google Assistant and it's pretty cool. I'm not concerned about the privacy issues so it's a keeper. As far as accessibility goes, it's very accessible and I love the two Lucky Trivia games you can play with it. Lucky Trivia and Lucky Trivia Sports. Now I have 4 assistants I can use; Cortana, Siri, Alexa with the Echo Dot I purchased last month and now this. I'm excited to review this app for season 3 of my show.
