Mine works very consistently. No complaints here.

Yeah it's a sketchy feature, sometimes works sometimes doesn't. Have Shazam as a backup. Use Shazam most the time...

6 pro has it show up most of the time I look. I've never tried to use it to play/buy music so no idea on that front.

Always crashes after trying to play song in your chosen streaming service (Deezer for me).

Doesn't cache prior results on phone so will take ages to reload from Google server. Nevertheless, one of my most used and pinned apps on my Pixel 7 Pro/Niagara.

I just wish that they would give it some love.
