Nest app was better. Forces to switch to Google home which is way worst. I paid for the basic plan before Google took over and nest would record and incident entirely. In other words if the incident last 10 minutes then the recording was ten minutes. For the same subscription but now operated by Google, the recording cut off when there is still stuff happening!!! Google of course wants more money for u to have what I HAD with Nest at a lower price. Also, u can't see live even as its happening!!!
