Shopping List via Google Assistant or Google Home. ‍This decision was made by Google and unfortunately we have no influence on it. This change not only affects the Bring! App, but also other non-Google notes or list apps. If you have an iOS or Amazon Echo device, you can still add items to your Bring! Shopping list by voice command. Siri and Alexa are not affected by the change.
