The quite aptly named Device Assist is designed to help Nexus device owners fix problems with their handsets and call for back-up when tips and tricks fail.

Available to download from Google Play now, the app also offers users an introduction to the new features in Lollipop -- the latest version of the Android operating system -- and tips regarding how to get the most out of it.

And, if none of the suggestions work, the app can be used to book a call-back from a Google tech support person who will be able to get right down to business -- the app shares all relevant information about the handset and its settings.

The app is a great idea and there's just one limitation: it only works with Nexus, Google Play editions or Android One handsets.
