About this app

Action Blocks makes routine actions easier with customizable buttons on your Android home screen.

Powered by the Google Assistant, you can easily set up Action Blocks for a loved one. Action Blocks can be configured to do anything the Assistant can do, in just one tap: call a friend, watch your favorite show, control the lights, and more.

Action Blocks can also be configured to speak phrases. This can be especially useful to people with speech and language disorders to quickly communicate during urgent situations.

Built with the growing number of people with age-related conditions and cognitive differences in mind, Action Blocks can also be used for people with learning differences, or even for adults who want a very simple way to access routine actions on their phones. Set it up for your family, friends, or for yourself.Action Blocks now features tens of thousands of picture communication symbols (PCS® by Tobii Dynavox), providing a seamless visual experience for users of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices and special education software.

Action Blocks may also be useful for anyone who could benefit from an easier way to perform routine actions on their device, including individuals with dementia, aphasia, speech disorder, autism, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, Down syndrome, Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, dexterity impairments, or other conditions. People who use adaptive switches, Switch Access, or Voice Access may also benefit.

Action Blocks includes an Accessibility Service, and uses that capability to enable you to connect a switch. If you don't want to connect a switch, it works fine without enabling the service.

This is great and very convenient for saving shortcuts on your home screen for common questions you can ask Gemini (it works with Gemini now, unlike before). So I'm very happy with this app. It's crazy this functionality isn't already built-in

Trying to set up a Google home automation via action blocks is completely useless. Gemini lied for about half an hour until it admitted it couldn't be done, then recommended ways around Google apps that "might work". Incredibly disappointed and frustrated.

Updated recently and now all my blocks are broken and don't work. They're holding the functionality hostage to the gemini app now. So what's the point of this one? Was fun while it lasted, but time to uninstall because it literally doesn't work anymore.
