I only give it this rating because I am extremely upset that this app uses my mic I value my privacy and I believe that cell phones make it so I don't get to have privacy. if it wasn't for the fact that you have to have an email and phone number to get through modern life I would not have this issue.

So far, not interested in learning or managing functions or features, besides unable to trust Google's privacy claims. May be useful later. Moving on for now.
