Difficult to get verbal content (such as the morning news, via a Google Assistant routine) -- to play on a Mini, if your phone happens to be in the room. TRULY EXASPERATING. Why have a Mini, if content won't play on it? [UPDATE 6/30]. Google's response? Flush BOTH the Google Home app cache, AND its data cache. (They're effectively suggesting I start from scratch.) Another way of saying: "Throw the baby out with the bath water." Edit: 3/18/22. TWO STARS. App is getting worse by the day. FAIL.
