Voice tech has become one of the main ways people interact with devices but the world’s most popular voice assistants, Siri, Alexa & Google Gemini, still don’t support a single native African language.

Ratings and reviews

It's cool to use. The developer is willing to help Incase of any inconviences. For my view, I think it's not necessarily to launch the app before it will respond it should be done in a way that when you installed the app, you can do everything without opening or launching the app. Moreover, you stated "it doesn't need any internet bundle" but I realized you need data to access social media platforms. So you if you can reframe that statement. Thank you.

It was fun but work on the ux/ui ... it's poor. I used it for less than an hour, then anytime I pressed the microphone, rate the app came...annoying. It's a very good idea tho...Work on it n stop the Pro version. You arent there yet to sell the service. Ahah, anytime I start the app, Abena tells me to get Pro version . It's not expensive but as I said, you aren't there yet.

Though I'm new on this app but I think the ai has answers to almost every question. But I think it would be more fun and more useful if the app could run in background. I mean if we could still communicate with the ai even when we are using a different app or our phones are away from us in short distance. On top of that, excellent app. Mo way3 ade3 paa😉
