    I got the google mini as a Christmas present. I have a iPhone 6 and had a hard time downloading the google app and google music. It took several times before it would download and once I got it downloaded it seem to have a lot of glitches that just turned me off from using it. Now it is sitting in a box in the closet.

    Use it mainly as an alarm clock because trying to get it to play our apple library has been a challenge. It’s always telling us we need to sign up for a YouTube subscription. Seems like you should be able to request google to play something specific without being shutdown unless you buy YouTube substricption. BUT, If you’re looking for an easy functioning alarm clock - you’re in luck. :)
