Voice Actions for Negative User Reviews
✓ HmmmI've used this app a few times and I must admit there is several basic issues that require to be addressed. However if I wanted a good speech recognition app/ phone i would splash out for a 4s but this app will be about as close as poss. If the designers are reading this please test this app fully before applying updates its just basic common sense. BTW if you have a strong accent then forget this app. If possible please publish a wider list of command that this app actually understands. Many thanks for taking the time to read my points. 10 out of 10 for effort 5 out of ten for price and 7 out of 10 for functionability..Version: 1.9
✓ Crash crash crash!No app should ever be made available when it crashes like this - complete with some low level message text. Very bad coding/testing. Say 'set reminder' and watch it die. Hope this is fixed soon, or else I'll ask Apple for a refund, which they will do BTW..Version: 1.4
✓ Getting tired of all the bugs and it's not working at allIck.Version: 2.0
✓ Hopeless & FrustratingThis app is hopeless. Doesn't recognise an English accent and hasn't completed ONE task yet. Glad it was cheap because it's going to end up in the trash. Also makes stupid comments. Certainly not Siri !!!! I would give this a miss because it's only going to put up your blood pressure..Version: 2.2.0
✓ Ruined my iPhoneYou ask Jeanie a question (her name like Siri) and instead of answering you get some terrible answer like, "I'm glad you see it that way" or a not even close answer, example. What is the human body temperature supposed to be at in fahrenheit and you get an answer like, "today is 80 degrees slightly cloudy" and then u get asked questions like, "do u have children?" or, "where do u live?" like its doing recon on you, but that's not even the worst part as soon as i bought this app my phone started tweaking out I go to write a text and I'll press a letter and the keypad freaks out and I can't type or it types random commas or numbers. I try to click on iPod app and my browser comes up and starts switching between different tabs I have up. My lock screen only opens once in 3 or 4 attempts. This app ruined my phone and now I'm going to apple to complain please don't buy this app until they fix the bugs or else you could end up like me, missing work calls constantly! Losing data! Mad girlfriend!.Version: 2.0
✓ Wish id read reveiws. Junk. UselessWill not send a email, pulls it up, but you cant speak the body of the app into it :( wanted just for that. Crashes 3/4 time just when open it. Doesnt work. Waste of money. Lies and rip off!!! Do not buy. Useless. Can not even get review to submit..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Incredible..... why you've let me pay for your joke appThe app is just ..... NOTHING. You touch the screen and ..... BAM.... app shut down.Version: 3.0.1
✓ PotentialThis app is worth $1 not $4, Google voice is much better and that's free..Version: 2.0
✓ What a wasteWhat a waste of time and money, want my money back. Does not work 99% of the time. Big mistake. Even with a update, I should not have to change the way I speak for a app. That's not how it should work. I wouldn't waste my time or money downloading it.Version: 1.5
✓ Waste of money, unresponsive developerThe app crashes on startup 80% of the time, and drops back to Springboard. I wish I had read the reviews, what a waste of $5. Will be asking Apple for a refund. Developer hasn't responded to my multiple attempts at contact..Version: 1.4
✓ I need my moneyI bought the new product Siri, but it's not working. Can I get my money back.Version: 1.3
✓ AwfulNo use whatsoever. I ended up screaming into my I pad. Not healthy. Needs a lot of fine tuning. Not at all like Siri was..Version: 2.2.0
✓ Yeh not worth it.No where near as good as Siri. Take advice from other comments made and save your money. It doesn't understand about 85% of commands. Needs allot of work to be up to the same standard as Siri..Version: 1.5
✓ Waste of MONEY!I just downloaded this and it's terrible. I'd like my money back but I prob won't get it. It doesn't work good. I said what's 2+2 and it said calling 2+2. And it asked if I was a man or women.....I want my money back! Waste of time and money......shoulda read he reviews before! DON'T BUY!!!.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Minimal controls, Minimal options!Disappointing. It seems to have worked better when I first installed it. Jeannie doesn't understand much. There are no guidelines for how to made commands. So you have to guess. You can add simple calendar reminders or open up a program, play a song from your favorite artist, but cannot choose which song, yada yada yada. There are no controls aside from tapping the mic and waiting for a response. It might offer a google search or chat, but it's misleading to suggest you can control the phone with your voice. Right now it is gimmicky at best. I need voice activated controls/personal assistance because my hands are not well and it is painful to press the buttons or swipe the screen incessantly. Software geniuses we need your help! FIX THIS!!!!.Version: 1.6
✓ Very Cool, but needs work!Siri is 100% better. But I have an iPhone 4. So I would like to see improvements made on server speed. It should use Google to find answers to questions instead of Wikipedia. Also I would like it to be able to read me my newest text messages. The alarm function is poor. It should work with the iPhones clock app. It would be nice if it would send my spoken text instead of just going to the messages app. Also the 300 actions limit is lame. Very good app just should be as good as Siri. No action limits! Keep working on it. I will give 5 stars when it is fixed..Version: 1.5
✓ OuchVery disappointed with the app., and with Apple for not screening better! Your customers pay a premium for the brand because of the reputation for high quality. We don't want to be wasttimeout time and money. Events like this damage your brand..Version: 1.3
✓ Not badThe app is reasonable, but after a few minutes, it started crashing a lot, and although it recognised some more complex things like 'what is the weather in calgary?' it didn't seem to understand a simple thing like 'play wings solo' (a track on my phone). It registered what I had said correctly, but then didn't seem to understand I actually wanted it to do that. Good concept but definitely needs some improvement..Version: 2.0.1
✓ CrappI should have read the reviews this thing is non sense this app is worthless it does nothing except thinking... Of i dont know.. Dont do like me and dont waste money on this..Version: 2.2.0
✓ SUCKYDoesent even start. just crashes, don't waste your money.Version: 2.0.1
✓ AIt sink.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Complete waste of moneyTo quote other reviews on this - how do I get my money back? Couldn't recognize even the simplest of instructions, and even worse, my requests often resulted in pictures of scantily clad women being displayed. When asked to text my partner to make me a gin and tonic, it seemed to think I had a son with a cross-dressing problem. Don't waste your money on this..Version: 1.6
✓ Want my money backOk so I'm sorry :D I added two stars to raise this to a 3 star app. I think you need to update it to work with more accents such as English!?!? I was using this in an english voice and it was terrible and didn't understand what I said but I added an American accent and boom it was quality but I hate using American accents because I don't really want to do one I front of people because I have to admit.... I'm terrible at them But anyway one thing UPDATE FOR ENGLISH USERS !?!?!.Version: 1.5
✓ Waste of moneyBought this app for my iPhone 4 but it doesn't even load! Crashed every time I try opening it. I need Apple to refund my money!.Version: 1.4
✓ Hopeless in USA, Worse in UKPurchased US version for iphone and UK version for business iPad and I've got to say that it appears that its so bad in the UK that they have withdrawn it already..(2 weeks after buying it for £3.00) and according to their curt reply to my email they may offer it again at some stage if they come up with an update. No apology for the problems, just a terse "interesting email" answer. The US version (another $5.00) is acting like a demented parrot at the moment and when asking it to send a text it asks what you want to say, waits a second and then keeps repeating the same question. It also hangs at key times and the voice thinks she is called "Telephone" for some reason (although i suppose that's her prerogative). She also starting giving answers in German last night which was a first and later when I asked "The time in China" she educated me on the virtues of keeping homing pigeons..Mmmmm. Altogether a contender for the most expensive and worst international app of the year so far. Please keep your money..Version: 1.8
✓ Good app, has potential to be alot betterThis app so far seems to work ok. I've only used it for a couple of days, but so far I have no big issues against it. I would like to see some kind of settings adjustment or something. Maybe a section where we could insert frequently used names or action, or apps we wanna use with it. It would be nice if the voice wasn't so "robotic". I also think that at the stage this app is at, $4.99 is too much considering the improvements that can be done to enhance this program. I'll be looking forward to updates, hopefully SOONER than later 😊.Version: 1.6
✓ Don't wast ur moneyThis app doesn't work . It's garbage , I'm so disappoint about it , it does not do what it says.Version: 2.0.1
✓ After a once-overNeeds a manual. It's not intuitive enough to use out-of-the-box. I've been using Dragon Naturally Speaking for five years, and I was hoping for similar intelligence re dictating emails etc. For example, it doesn't know to use capitals for the salutation and at the beginning of sentences in emails. And I'm having too much difficulty training it to recognize my husband's name. Five bucks isn't exactly a fortune, but the breezy FAQ on the developer's website is a little too lightweight. I'll keep working with it, but I'm hoping for the promised manual very soon..Version: 1.6
✓ Terrible, want my money back1. I can't talk in it. 2. It's not at all VoiceOver friendly. Voice Answer's better than this app..Version: 2.0
✓ Junk. Don't waste your money.Not worth the one star I had to give it..Version: 2.2.0
✓ PotentialIt's buggy and definitely needs updates. I can see this app being something great, however, I do think that the price should have been free or .99 cent until it was out of beta. I like how she can handle commands when she works properly but what needs to be addressed in the future updates is interface, speed (it takes the app a long time to process data it needs to be more fluid), and the overall stability. Like I said, I see promise so for those of us who took a chance on your app and paid $5.00 please read the comments and work on making this app a great one. Let's not let this get lost in the beta closet of what could have been. Thanks!.Version: 1.4
✓ Disgusting Scam!!! Do Not Buy This RUBBISH!!!!!I have never felt so ripped off!!! This app is a joke!! It was so ridiculous that my daughter had a bit of a laugh with it as it was totally getting what she was saying sooo wrong... After it was used for a while it said that was all the questions we were allowed to ask. Our limit was used up!! lol Do you think this should be mentioned on the app information before people totally throw their money away?!?! I bloody well think so!!!!! I would like a refund ASAP!!!! It amazes me how some apps are even allowed to get this far!!!! NOT HAPPY 😠😡😠😡😠😡😠😡😠😡😠😡😠.Version: 1.3
✓ RubbishVoice recognition is rubbish. Nuance are you really involved with this? I've used Dragon Naturally Speaking and this app makes you look bad... Not a Siri alternative..Version: 1.5
✓ Meh...This app is ok but it does not really set up an alarm and crashes when I ask it a question..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Voice actionsSave your money I wish I had I wouldn't even give a star.Version: 2.2.0
✓ Room for improvementDownloaded because it uses nuance.. Seems ok but has a long way to go to top vlingo. Hopefully, gets updated with more defined features to match SIRI. Must say it does most things I ask it though...Version: 1.3
✓ Not working nowWorked for 4 days now will not launch just keeps crashing!! Save your money.Version: 1.5
✓ GarbageI should have checked the reviews first.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Not worth it!This app is garbage, and is very expensive does not do what they say, do not waste your money, just does not work, total disappointment!.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Good but uhh...Good but uhh... Pretty Much all it does is swear and curse at people why does it do that??? And how does it know my friends name???????.Version: 2.0.1
✓ CrapIts a translator. It worked for bit, now it just translates. CRAP.Version: 2.2.0
✓ Major problems!!!This app has major problems. Does not work keeps saying to tap all the time and crashes a lot. Definitely not worth the money. Apple needs to refund apps that don't work!!.Version: 2.0
✓ Only has one star because you had toFirst time I have ever regretted buying an app should have your money refunded not happy AT ALL!!!!!!.Version: 1.6
✓ Do not buy!!!Absolute garbage. So laggy you don't know if its crashed or listening to you. If it does listen it comes back with garbage. Omg it's only a dollar but what a waste of a dollar!!! Total garbage.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Voice actions or Siri ?Well that's the question this or Siri? Well I think Siri as it is now taking dictation from my voice. I like siri more because it's built in, further more you don't always have to open up your phone. But I think it's a good app if your and iPhone 4/3GS or 3G user and you want Siri type functionality..Version: 1.5
✓ Failure for IpadIt states that it is compatible iPad, but after loading app, it will state 'tap to ask me something', I tap and ask a simple search question, it looks ike it recognise my speech input, but then repeatedly state 'Please tap and try again'. After the first attempt it doesn't seem to pick up any speech. I would not reccomend this if you have an iPad..Version: 1.3
✓ Dont buyWith ios5 does not work properly many glitches, doesnt reconize names or commands.Version: 1.5
✓ Pretty cool, could be better with simple fixes.The speech to text is pretty good, but it could use proper puncuation without specifying. For instance, in Vlingo it automatically capitalizes words at the beginning of sentences and picks up puncuation based on the inflection in your voice. If Vlingo can do it for free then this app should be able to do this an upcoming upgrade. Also, the reminder and music features don't work that well. You should be able to tell it to remind you of something and it sets a reminder with reminder app on iOS 5.01. Similarly the app should be able to open Pandora, not just search your own iTunes. Please fix bugs from new update and add these improvements - who cares about new accents?!.Version: 1.4
✓ Utter Rubbish.The voice recognition is appalling. I have a plain English voice, with no local accent, and it has failed to understand me on every try. Guys, you need to work a little harder before you consider your product worthy of people's hard-earned cash. And please take those two glowing reviews off your product page, they're the only two good ones you got, as the 2 star average rating clearly shows..Version: 1.6
✓ Bad badIt crashes constantly ... i want my money back.Version: 2.0.1
✓ This needs tweakingI have had this app since the early release and I'm happy with it but the stability of the app needs some work. Name features work now and that's pretty cool. (you can give the bot a name and she will remember yours.) Search works great, asking questions works rather well. I'm having a problem sending text since the last update. After telling the app to text, it asks "what would you like to say" but when I say it, it just flashes and remains at the voice que. The app needs some work but it is by far the closest thing to Siri for iPhone 4g. I'm hoping for an update to fix this text issue. I've heard reinstalling the app helps fix some issues. So I'm going to try that. It's worth a try check it out..Version: 1.8
✓ App Not WorkingSo far, the app has not worked once since I've installed it. It keeps saying "thinking" and never does anything! Whoever created this app needs to fix the bugs considering its a paid app..Version: 2.0
✓ YOU'VE RUINED THIS APP WITH THE 2.0.1 UPDATE!!!!!This app used to be wonderful, & very helpful. It used to answer your questions, obey commands, etc. Now it does NOTHING but give you lip & a bad attitude!!!!! Before the update, if you ask "What are the 7 wonders of the world?" It would look it up & give you the correct answer. Now all it does is ask why you want to know or tells you to use an internet browser. What were you people thinking when you "updated" the software??? You've ruined a once great program! If I knew how to remove this update & go back to the last version, I'd do it in a heartbeat. I have an iPad 2 & a 4th gen iTouch. This new version is on my iPad now, & I don't want to update the iTouch because it will ruin the program on that one too if I do. I'm very disappointed!!! Updates should IMPROVE an app... NOT make it WORSE! PLEASE FIX THE APP & I WILL GIVE IT 5 STARS AGAIN. It used to be the best app in the app store, but right now it's good for nothing..Version: 2.0.1
✓ UselessDon't bother wasting your money on this it cannot even understand basic English absolutely useless other reviews must be by the Developers better off with one of free Apps along the same lines. Apple give me my money back if there was a minus rating I would give it that..Version: 1.6
✓ Worth a refundI had this app for a night and after getting used to a few questions I found some strange things. The most annoying one being errors when asking questions. Secondly, it brings up pictures that relate nothing about what you are asking for. Thirdly, it is just what previous people have said, when you ask it to call or text a specific name it doesn't bring it up and when you ask it to set an event the event name and time is nothing like how it is asked. I asked it to set an event for tomorrow at 7 A.M. and it set an alarm named tomorrow that takes place at 7A.M..Version: 1.5
✓ Trouble connecting to serverFails with regularity.Version: 1.4
✓ Not even close to Siri !!This app doesn't understand anything you say don't buy it waste of money. I want my money back thank you !!.Version: 1.5
✓ Give it time...I have given 3 stars for the moment. I think there is potential to be a must have app in place of upgrading to the 4S. The concept of the app is great and this really could rival Siri. A few more updates are required before then but given time this could be an amazing app. I was a bit wary of paying £2.99 with the poor reviews but i have got it and i feel in time i wont regret the purchase. So just give it time....Version: 1.4
✓ Doesn't workTerrible worst money I've spent on an app. As soon as I tap it it goes to thinking. How do they get away with charging for an app that doesn't work? Hey app store let me do the same I should be able to rip off people too!! Terrible terrible terrible!!!.Version: 2.0
✓ Don't bother...Have tried to do numerous things and nothing works. I asked for a phone number I had in my contacts it came up with maps, I asked Barack Obamas birthday....no response. Doesn't matter what I try it does something completely different, now it just says it's "Thinking' then says please tap and try again. I want a refund..Version: 1.3
✓ Voice ActionWorst app ever. It does not work and exits after every few goes. It does not understand you at all and when you press the microphone button after activating the app it just exits the app. Hope they improve the app..Version: 1.3
✓ TDoes not work.Version: 1.3
✓ Voice ActionsKudos to the creators for trying to give siri to people who don't have the 4s, using it though turns out to not be so great i wonder if siri is like this? if so it puts me off from buying the 4s…questions i asked was like what will the weather for the week be in hong kong (where i live) and it says it will be clear and 0 degrees which is funny as the average temp here is 20C. another one ''how old is the queen of england'' it says born in the 20th century…it also has a strange voice which is not very clear, it also doesn't always hear what you say so like when asking it to text someone it will just choose the closest random name if it doesn't understand. I'm sure there will be more, better changes to come.Version: 1.4
✓ WasteWhy is it not working what a joke.Version: 1.4
✓ Getting WorseJust downloaded latest version and tried. Can't even speak before it starts thinking!! Had an earlier version that was fine but latest two versions are useless. Might have to buy a 4S just for Siri!.Version: 2.0
✓ DO NOT BUYI read the reviews an thought they all have the same date but i know i read some of them before 30 nov 2011 so today 1st december 2011 im telling u do not by this app. if i try to use it i get told ur not aurthorised to use this and that is all i get every time i try to use it. so do not think like me there is some thing not right with it saying all the reviews were done on the same day. there is no glitch i paid the price for giving benifit of dought. spend ur money else where..Version: 1.4
✓ Dumb!Don't buy this app. It's a waste of money, it's stupid and won't do what it claims. It's a complete waste of money and time that you put into trying to understand it and use this stupid app..Version: 1.5
✓ Crashes constantly:( terrible app: --------I only wish I could demand my $5.50 back because this app is complete and absolute rubbish. The app won't even open anymore. Vlingo is free and actually works. Don't waste ur time, money or data allowance..Version: 1.5
✓ ConfusedI have been riding the waves with this app for quite sometime. Every update gives and takes. It's starting to get extremely annoying. Text messaging was something that worked properly in the beginning, but the last two updates has hampered a feature that cheaper apps can provide successfully. Now, when you want text a contact the app lists your whole contact list and proceeds to naming off each one, so you can choose. Annoying. Please fix this bug. Overall this app is good and the closest alternative to Siri for old iPhone users..Version: 2.0
✓ What a bunch of Crap!!!Downloaded the app and it just sits there saying thinking???? The app store should be ashamed for allowing crap that doesn't work I WANT my MONEY back you robbers!!! They want a rating but you can't even give it NO stars!!!.Version: 2.0
✓ DisappointingApp is unstable, lacking of options and does not seem to be frequently updated by the developers (as if they are just riding on the success of Siri). Has the potential to be good and useful but considering its current price and limitations I would not recommend it to anyone..Version: 1.5
✓ Needs updateThe app is sooo slow I press the mic and reacts about 10 seconds later same for my other iPod (has nothin on it) and also why does it have advertising When you spend £2.99 for it when u pay apps don't normally have advertising. You need to add built in instructions, speed it up, better looks and no advertising apart from that it recognizes almost all the time. *update: Vlingo is better and free.Version: 1.6
✓ What happened to my downloaded version? It's terrible!!! Help!!A lot of the reviews I read were great and there were a lot that weren't. But What the heck!!! I figured I'd support the developer(s) anyway and give it a shot. I downloaded to my iphone 3gs. After downloading it for the first time, it crashed several times and would just close out. So I had to reinstall it. I would ask it to do a search or other questions and it would just say "Let's see" and never respond. Also, at first the text would appear if it responded, but the last couple of times there was not text just words. There times when it would not respond at all and I would have to close out the program and come back into it. At this point, I WILL NOT recommend anyone buying this program and spending $4.99 on something that's not going to work. No one wants to feel like they wasted their money on an app that's supposed to work. If the developers compensate those that have spent their money on this and get the bugs worked out, then I would definitely provide another view. In the meantime, I'm gonna have to contact tech support or something because this is ridiculous. For those who didn't have any problems or at least got to reach the 300 limit, I guess they got lucky because I can't get past a few :(.Version: 1.3
✓ Due to high demand this app does not work?Slow to the point of unusable on an iPhone 4! How do I get a refund?.Version: 1.3
✓ Very DisappointingSlow to load, poor voice recognition, had to change unusual parameters that were pre-set in the options. Few options. Doesn't seem to be able to do the wonderful things the description promises - leaves me wondering who wrote those "unbiased views". Would like my money back.Version: 1.5
✓ Very bad app....lost lot of moneyI want my money back.Version: 1.3
✓ Really annoying!!Good app to play with but when I say ring a contact of mine it says no Marc found!! Needs to be fixed ASAP.Version: 1.5
✓ Garbage !Doesn't work at all ! I want a refund !! Was this app ever tested ?!?! Too bad we can't rate 0 stars !!!.Version: 2.0.1
✓ It was pantsWhen I first bought the app I was waiting eagerly for it to download so I could use it to its full potential! I did use it to its full potential, but that wasn't much! It couldn't understand my voice, and it's not my accent coz I sound like a posh phil Mitchell from eastenders! Needless to say it wouldn't search what I wanted and I deleted it soon after purchase! Getting my money back would be the only old thing about this app!.Version: 1.5
✓ ReviewRubbish, does not work!.Version: 1.3
✓ NOT Siri, but funWhile we wait for Siri, this is still a fun little app. If you tell it to call or text, it will. It will answer most questions or immediately turn on google for you. It does have memory. If you introduce yourself, it will remember your name and home address. Biggest quirk, it does slow down the phone. Since I got this, Facebook has been real slow. Also, it will not work after 300 questions, BUT... simply delete it and download it again. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR IT AGAIN! Can also make me laugh. It told me to have a "blessed day". I asked if it was religious and it said it was a Christian?!.Version: 1.3
✓ Absolutely terribleDon't believe any of the 5 star ratings...I wouldn't be surprised if the developer arranged for them to be written. Taken heed of all the 1 star ratings. I've owned this for 5 minutes and about to remove it. Apple - really want my money back on this. Total con. Really terrible app..Version: 2.0
✓ Do not buyThis app does not work.... What a waste of money!!!!.Version: 2.0.1
✓ It's Not Siri...It's Not Good...And It's Not Worth The Money.This app is doesn't work... It likes to be called "Telephone" for some reason. It sometimes answers my english spoken questions in German...How about simple command to "alert me in ten minutes" Yes she says then appears to forget almost instantly.. But the best one to date is when you ask her to send a text to a friend....Yes she says and what do you want to say and then waits a second or two and then repeats "what do you want to say ?" (An artificial bot with Dementia perhaps) she will then keep asking as long as you angrily keep pressing the button or give up. Having purchased the app on both sides of the Atlantic I thought customer service would help..especially as the app disappeared suddenly from the UK store but they were as hapless as their app and wrote back to say they would reactivate it when an update was available. Did they not know Apple were about to release the just as useless update less than 12 hours later ? Really bad at present..just look at the feedback..Version: 1.9
✓ DisappointedWish I had read the reviews before purchasing not worth the money :(.Version: 1.4
✓ Review indifferentContinued..... It will bring up the name from your list of contacts, allow you to dictate a shortish text, and all you have to do is press the send button. It will make a call from the contacts list. It will tell you the time date what the weather is like. It does not seem to be able to set up reminders or alarms but it did once. It does not open apps or galleries or websites it just gets stuck by bringing up the App Store page or trying to dial an outgoing number for some reason. Needs a lot more work fixing bugs and making sure it is compatible. The worst thing as with most apps now the developers do not provide any basic instructions. For example it learned my name but then asked me to spell it it "misheard " me and now calls me the wrong name that I don't know how to change. Maybe there is a specific command for each action but you are not told what they are such as open iTunes etc.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Improvement still requiredI must admit that Voice Actions has managed to redeem itself in some ways and has definitelty gotten alot better. It now answers alot more questions and completes more tasks than it did before. I was surprised that it gave me a long description on the definition of the word 'Fear'. Some of the pics which come up sometimes do not fit in with the question i asked and it is still gives too much limited info on particular questions such as when I ask it about specific people as it only gives their date of birth and sometimes their profession. There seems to still be a problem with it trying to play music even when you tell it to play a certain song. The maps and navigation have certainly improved and so far I have nothing bad to say about it. Now it needs to be able to send status updates to facebook and twitter by voice. Overall, in time this app can become a great competitor to other famous voice apps like Vlingo, Dragon Go and Voice Ask. Keep up with the future updates..Version: 1.6
✓ It's Not Too SpecialIt doesn't do anything that Google, Vlingo, and the voice dial capability of my iPhone already does. In fact, using Vlingo to dictate a text or email is more reliable. This app keeps telling me the person I want to text, email, or call is not in my contacts list...but they are! Anyway, it is handy if I need to know Obama's age. So, it does live up to the example given in the description. But for $5, I could scan Wikipedia for the answer If I could rely on it to text, email, and voice dial, I would give it a 5+. Having those three capabilities rolled up with a Google type voice search capability in one app would be sweet. So far though...it's hit or miss right now. Mostly miss..Version: 1.9
✓ Scham..The app is design to get $off you one time. No updates done. Don't download it - this should be taken off the app store soon..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Hardly SIRII was excited to see a way of getting Siri like functionality on my iPhone4 having seen a couple of my friends use it, but this does not quite manage it was well. It doesn't understand in the same way as Siri does, gets many of the words wrong even if I speak clearly. If it doesn't understand it doesn't work like Siri does, in trying to narrow down what you mean by asking questions, it just guesses or gives you a list. So it's ok, but too early on to be of any use. Also adding reminders throws up an error..Version: 1.4
✓ Update the appWhat the heck i press the app then it just exits update the app i paid $6.Version: 1.5
✓ Doesn't work. Don't waste your money.The only thing it has got right so far is when I insulted it. Then it _told_ me to be nice. Great concept, badly done..Version: 1.6
✓ What?????What, this app used to be great but since the last few updates the voice assistant talks so slow!!! Very unhappy 😡😡😡😡.Version: 2.0.1
✓ TOTAL WASTE OF MONEYThis app was a complete waste of money! It says 'tap to ask me something' so I tap then go to speak and it says 'thinking' and doesn't let me finish. Total rip off!!!.Version: 2.0
✓ GoodIt's pretty cool,,! I love it, but it only know 50% of what you said!! I want app like Siri!! I don't want to buy iPhone 4s! Please try to update it!!.Version: 1.5
✓ It plays music......and that's it. It took me to a video of a snoring cat but that's all I could get it to do. It won't open apps or send email or text msgs. Save your money..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Absolutely stupidDoesn't even work. Waste of my money.Version: 1.4
✓ Doesn't workIt just keeps crashing....FIX IT NOW PLEASE!.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Please up date ! Do not buy this!!!Some features work some are buggy. Needs a faster server its a snails speed compared to real siri and that's bad seeing as siri is slow in it self. Should update the set up ASAP or take the app down seeing as this app is no good till it is fixed. Like text to iMessage it does not pick up the entire sentence. Has allot of potential but seems like it has been abandon by the developers.. Don't buy!!.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Poor quality AppPoor quality app, wish I hadn't purchased it. I'd give it less than a star if I could. Just did an update, now doesn't work at all. I am seriously annoyed. This is the response I got. We have received your request. We will reply as soon as we can, but at this time we are receiving more requests than we ever anticipated and do not have a large enough staff to reply to them all as quickly as we, or you, might like. We certainly hope to get back to you within a couple of weeks. Thank you for your patience!.Version: 1.8
✓ What a shame…. This app could have been great.At first I loved this app. It had a SIRI level of fun to it's chat feature. Ask it the meaning of life and it says that it's not 42, it's really 21. Ask it how much wood a woodchuck could chuck and it tells you the entire forest. But then it gets to a point where it stops working. Why, you might ask? Because the developers only let you ask it a set number of questions before is disables itself. That's right. Arbitrarily, the app becomes junk once you use it too much. Reinstalling it no longer works. It just decides that you don't deserve answers anymore and by now they've probably cashed their checks. Stay away from this app. I never write reviews, but the concept of a cap on asking is beyond garbage. This is pathetic and worthless. It would be annoying for a free app. After the update, it is still awful!.Version: 1.5
✓ OkPretty good but needs work. When making an appt it doesn't put it in the schedule but keeps it in its own memory. When asking to text or call someone and u have more than one phone book it comes up with all matches and shows onscreen their name only "john smith" 3 times for example, and asks u to choose one but u can't see which is correct. It should show the name and number or show "John smith mobile" say for example. It does recognize words very well with little corrections needing to be made so that's a plus..Version: 2.0
✓ I wished I listened to all these reviewsDear Pannous, I just recently purchased your app Voice Actions on my iPad 2, and I must say, it is a huge let down. The app does not reply with any informative answers, show an image I request or perform any commands one would expect from an app selling it self as a Voice Command app. I do not mean to sound offensive, or overanalytical, but as a customer having purchased this app for a fee, I was really hoping for there to be some successful functionality. I understand that this is not Siri (which is available on iPhones), but when it comes to the description on App Store, it fails to perform around 95% of it. This is aside from the fact that it also occasionally keeps crashing. It is unethical to exploit customers with wrong information on your website and/or the App Store. For that reason I am sincerely requesting for a refund. I think it is only fair..Version: 2.0.1
✓ MediocreI am pleasantly surprised with this app however I am also quite disappointed in some respects the phone has a 50/50 success rate when asking questions and seems to struggle I am speaking clearly in a normal London accent, The features it boasts are good I would like it to be as interactive with Siri however I look forward to the updates.Version: 1.4
✓ It works but needs improvingIt works for the basics of what I need. However preferences for events and alarms would be nice, and calendar and real alarm integration would be awesome. Reminders work quite well, but if you close the app and reopen then it won't say you have any reminders if you ask. It will still bring the reminder up later though as it should. The dictation is pretty good and chatting with it can be fun. Please open web based stuff in an internal web view, opening in safari is annoying. Please fix these small things and I will rate 5 stars!! Sorry for the long review..Version: 1.9
✓ Worst app everVery limited n biggest waste of money, I want my money back!.Version: 1.5
✓ Don't waste your moneyIt always crash and doesn't work properly. I want my money back!.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Voice actionsThis app dose not work (rip off) I want my money back. Would not even rate one star but you have to it's the lowest..Version: 2.2.0
✓ Has potentialI have been speaking as clear as day to this app and only one a couple of occasions has it understood what I was saying. I actually used the example of the pictures (how old is Barack Obama) and it kept bringing up 'how old is Iraq Obama'! Nevermind, give it a few updates and I'm sure it'll be right as rain!.Version: 1.4
✓ Needs some improvementThe biggest problem I had with the app is the inability to use the app without a wifi or 3G connection, which is strange because most of the commands don't even require wifi or 3G (setting reminders, playing music, etc...). This may not be a problem for iPhone users, but what this means for us iPod touch users is the app is basically useless because you may not be around a wifi hotspot during most of your day. Overallq though, this is a pretty cool app and if they can fix all the bugs (and hopefully alow the app to be used without wifi or 3G) it could probably work just as well as siri. UPDATE: Since the new update, not only have they not added features everyone wanted (auto-send text messages, ability to open other apps, etc...), but they somehow made what they had worse. The app now takes forever to respond to what you say and sometimes just crashes completely..Version: 1.4
✓ WeakUnderstands a very poor amount of phrasing.Version: 2.0
✓ I hate itJust got an iPhone 4S its awesome Siri is way better then this piece of junk.Version: 2.0
✓ Rubbish Product!!This app is rubbish, a con, and not fit for its purpose. To add to my frustration I have tried to raise this with the app but have recd an email to say they will not reply for a few weeks as they have not enough staff!! The BIG issue is it does not understand anything I am saying!! I am English and carry out much public speaking in my career so I do not accept the reasoning is my accent. I dont want this app and my money refunded immediately..Version: 1.5
✓ It stopped working after the updateLove the app but you get occasional errors, if you set an alarm, it doesn't set default ios alarm and it only beeps once which I won't be able to wake up with. Looking forward to updates for fixing bugs and new features..Version: 1.8
✓ Could be betterIt's not as good as Siri obviously but it could be better for its price. Also, when I ask it to play a song it keeps playing the same song for every song I pick. It dosent understand as easily as it should either..Version: 1.6
✓ Doesn't work as well as it portrays in the description!Doesn't work as well as it portrays in the description! Recognizes only a few commands, but the majority of times it doesn't even get close to what I wanted! Would be great if it works as well as Siri... I should have taken the $5 and put it towards a iPhone 4S with Siri... Very disappointed, hopefully a few updates on this app will make the money spent worthwhile!.Version: 1.3
✓ Poor AppIt doesn't work. If you tap to say something the app closes. I've tried it on both my ipad2 and my iPhone 6. Read the reviews on all versions. Most say don't buy..Version: 3.0.1
✓ Needs serious updatingIs very slow but used to be very good need serious updating.Version: 2.0.1
