I used to love Motorola devices ... They had such promise and innovation. But since Lenovo bought them out I've only seen issue and a once great company fall. I regret using my upgrade for the Moto z the once great Moto voice is now useless .... It's a complete joke that doesn't do anything. Such a disappointing phone.. and the last Moto I'll buy.

Had this software for Moto X 2nd gen and LOVED it. I drove a lot so voice commands were great. BUT, now that I have the Moto Z, the app gets blocked my my phone lock and for whatever reason it doesn't have any bypass features. i.e. if I wanted to make a call, Moto X would have me speak my phone's​ PIN number to unlock it and proceed, but Moto Z just says "sorry, the device is locked". I don't get how a newer device with a newer version of the app has less helpful features. If that hadn't have changed, this app would have 5 stars from me.

This app used to be good but now it does not process the voice commands without unlocking the phone. This becomes especially difficult while driving. The touchless feature of moto z is totally defeated due to this.

Unusable after 7.0 update Moto Z Force. Switching to OK GOOGLE in hopes that I can use it handsfree while driving. Wicked bummer. This was last review 5 stars. (Old review) I use this app every day and find it to be the most useful app on any phone. The fact that I can turn my music on, check what time it is, read aloud my text messages or do anything else without ever touching the phone is revolutionary. Thank you Motorola! This app alone keeps me with Motorola. Used with Moto Z Force, Turbo, Turbo 2 and Moto x perfectly.

Had the original moto x and loved how useful moto voice was... This is almost useless on my moto z play that I just bought. The ability of my moto x to hear me just about anywhere in a room and say "find my phone" was extraordinary. I can no longer do anything with it that I wouldn't prefer to do by hand.

Excellent for hands free operation of phone. My only complaint is you can only announce caller ID at certain places you select. As a busy professional I screen my calls when I'm busy and would love an option to announce caller ID and text message id everywhere. It was that way with the droid RAZR.

If I could, I would give this app 0 stars. For some strange reason, whenever I power off/restart or update the software on my Motorola Z Force Droid, there is a popup that CONSTANTLY appears every split second. It's SUPER frustrating and annoying! To stop the popup, I have to reset ALL app preferences. After the popup stops, I have to go through the process of getting all my preferences back to the way they were. What the heck, Motorola?! Please fix this. I am starting to regret this phone. I really miss my old Samsung phone...

Got a New Moto z . This sucks, Moto voice is more advanced on my 2013 Moto x than this new phone, lots of things don't work on the z. The old Moto voice is why I got z, I'm returning the phone, Motorola you lost a customer, and enable wireless display to! So sad that my motox 2013 has better software than this new z.

People facing issues after nougat update, do this. Clear the data of Moto app from settings then uninstall it to restore it to factory version then update it from here. After that you can setup your voice command and it will work like a charm.

Nice idea, but bad implementation. The activation phrase will open Google Now voice recognition. The nifty things you find on Motorola's pages (like having read your notifications to you) are long gone, these features have been ditched. Google Now won't accept commands when the device is locked, defeating the whole purpose of Moto voice. You have to keep your device unlocked using a trusted place or a Bluetooth device, then it works. What's more, the new Google Assistant has much more useful commands, but Moto voice opens Google Now and there's no way to change it. If there was a setting to use voice commands while locked and to choose between Google Now and Assistant, this would get five stars.

Not impressive for anyone coming from Moto X 2nd gen. It was way, way better on the X. I got Moto Z Play thinking it will be the same, or even better, implementation of Moto Voice, but not to be. Motorola, please make it like Moto X 2nd gen. if possible. Thanks!

Great application, that is getting better regularly! The only issue that I have, (however, I understand it, because I have my phone encrypted), is that after the phone re-locks, it is not really "hands free"! You can say your whole command, but the phone won't do anything until you enter your unlock code! Oh, the costs of increased security!

Update: I have been using this daily for years! Worked great with Moto x. Replaced with a Moto z this week and unless I am missing something critical, it now does not work with Google voice. I am having significant difficulty setting it up to actually work as a hands free device while I am driving. This app worked beautifully before. I hope it gets resolved quickly. I drive too much and have relied on this app for years. Please hurry with the update to resume functionality... Previous review: You've to go into settings to turn it back on. There is no notification that the setting has been changed. You don't discover it until you are driving and it doesn't listen. Major issue. I drive a lot and specifically chose the moto x for voice commands. They need to fix it quick. Also, volume still resets to very low. Not controlled by phone. I have a Motorola sliver 2 Bluetooth. You would think they would work better together...

Requires you to unlock the phone for voice commands and doesn't play nice with Google Assistant now that it's out for all phones. I really feel suckered. My Moto X 2013 had better software by FAR.

This update completely sucks, only black screen appearing when i give voice command. Ok, please tell me the difference between 'ok google' and Moto voice except the launch phrase used.

Go back to the old Moto voice. It's not literally just google voice and we have lost many different commands such as "what's up" to read notifications. "Find my phone" is gone. Bring back the old Moto voice!!!

I use to use it while driving and to find my phone if I lost it but now it won't unlock my screen when is is off. I just stopped using it

Somehow activates the old Google search instead of Assistant. Defeats the whole point. Also, it is extremely hard to set "OK Google" as your phrase, as the app says it is too short.

So I set an alarm to wake up at 5pm... It was supposed to be just one day. For 4 days in a row the alarm goes off at 5..how to stop this

It doesn't work with 7.0 nougat on my Moto z play. Please fix it.

Moto Z Force. Will not send my voice texts. Went back to OK Google

Every 2 seconds I see the same message - unfortunately Moto voice has stopped. My phone is unusable, I made factory reset and lost all my work data two times. I won't wait for the third time, when all my information will be lost. Today I will sell this piece of Lenovo and buy any another phone.

It just works but I would like to see the option of lockscreen password being overridden temporarily while making voice commands when the screen is locked

My moto z can't open after upgraded nougat

When I tell the phone to make a call as I am driving. It do not put the phone on the sleeker. An when I am done talking it doesn't put the phone on the front screen.

Works pretty well, now if only it opened Google Assistant.

Not working in moto z play,even in pin drop silence it show error that room has noise

Voice wake up doesn't work very well. Let us use always on Google. Not Moto voice

I've had some issues with it turning on even when my phrase wasn't used, several times a day.

Does not work if I have a screen lock. Conflicts with ok Google detection and Google trusted voice.

Needs an update. Still launched Google Now commands instead of Google Assistant, which is much more useful.

Does not work with Nougat... MOTO Z

Needs to use Google Assistant not Google now and I can't set it up with trusted voice to unlock my phone so it can actually do anything.

Doesn't activate Google Assistant with hot word

Usually I love this app but it keeps thinking I'm driving when I'm not. Please fix.

Need to be able to use it without having to unlock the phone. Otherwise great app

Google voice does not work please fix. Turns on whenever it wants and doesn't work to recognize my voice!!!!

Unable to use phone as hands free device as it asks me to unlock the phone before use.

Voice open all the time accidentally

Will rate again after I use it some.
