Ratings and reviews

It does a lot and it's fantastic, when it works. Far too many bugs considering the amount of money, time, research, and development that's gone into this program. The texting feature is always hit or miss and often texts someone other than who I specifically mentioned. This has led to very confusing situations. It's wonderful to use when the routines, songs, GPS, etc. work! It just doesn't work, so much of the time.

This used to be an amazing app. But soon, the program completely stopped working. Setup ran again for some reason and was broken. Voice recognition was also broken. Even trying to open it doesn't work, nothing is responsive or responding. Edit: it works now but responds whenever I say anything 10 seconds later. Or just doesn't respond as well. Which forces me to just open the app straight up. Edit: it works now. Probably just an error?

Used this for many years and it is embarrassing how poorly it operates in the last year or so. Poor voice and word detection - requesting messages to send is difficult and inaccurate. Works hit and miss with basic requests, such as "turn off the light" or "stop music". My partner is a Siri/iPhone user and the quality is significantly more accurate and personable.
