To be honest, take a lot of these reviews with a grain of salt. As has been said before though, a lot of people, including those with an iPhone 4S, don't use Siri that much, and voice control in general is usually slower or less-convenient for a majority of tasks. -- I think it'd be fair to say he was joking -- ...and finally: So many things wrong with this... 1) No, I can honestly say I don't feel any form of jealousy when I see Siri in use. Voice control is, in my opinion, a gimmick at best. 2) I don't want to talk to me phone, actually. Plus, take into account the reaction from a lot of people when you use voice control, it comes off as weird, pointless, and even a little pretentious (which is highlighted by "You want it to do things for you since manually doing tasks is both boring and under us".) 3) Superiority? Would you like to inform me as to when owning a certain phone because a status symbol? I mean, sure, there's the selection of douchebags who brag about having phone x with feature y, and while they are usually stereotyped to be iPhone users (go figure...), honestly, it comes down to the person, not the phone. I think I could safely say that the vast majority of people who own a phone, don't do so for a feeling of superiority. 4) It was stated a few times that Android doesn't have any form of voice control? Which, of course, is complete BS, as it's existed for years before Siri became an iOS feature (though, admittedly, it wasn't as feature-latent as Siri). </rant>
I don't know what you're trying to prove. Just because an app isn't applicable everywhere doesn't mean it deserves a low score. Iris does what its designed to do. The app isn't advertised as a companion that will revolutionize your life, it's advertised as a Siri spin-off.
Well i think it was a good review. Good job iPwn. But what is the (alpha) in the name for? Is that what is in the app name?
//That's your opinion. -- Fair deal. //I believe I mentioned somewhere in the review that using it in public can be awkward. That doesn't make it useless. Many times it's far more convenient to use voice than your own hands (driving, exercising, etc.) -- Yes, but that was in response to the idea that we all desire to use some form of voice control, or we must be jealous of said application, though it seems that was meant more tounge-in-cheek than anything? //That was a damn joke. I was alluding to how many owners of Android phones brag about having devices supposedly better than iPhones. You're taking the intro way too seriously. -- Again, it seems I did read into it a bit far, though I've never actually seen anyone brag because they use an Android phone? //Where did I say it doesn't have Voice control? I even mentioned that the damn app uses Google's own tts. There's a difference between a voice command service that you can use to call numbers and the sort (which both iOS and Android have had for a long time), and a voice feedback service. Voice Dialer and Search on Android right now are not the same thing as Siri. -- "You feel a little pang of jealousy every time a Siri ad appears on your TV. You know you want to talk to your phone." seems to imply it doesn't exist on Android? As does "[...] they finally have something cool that you don't. Ice Cream Sandwich doesn't let you talk to a handy assistant.". Also, there's a difference between using Google's TTS, and actually having a client to handle everything, to which a number do exist. A good example of this would be Vlingo, which has a lot more functionality than just the standard command services like Voice Actions, yet has existed before Siri? Oh, and when I was talking about taking the review with a grain of salt? It wasn't anything to do with the review, or even the app. It was because under review scenarios, things may behave a little different when compared to say, everyday use for awhile. I was just trying to say that you (nclaxmiddy11) should realise that everything has its limitations. Seeing this, I feel I need to point out that I'm not trying to detract from the review, I was just confused by some of the remarks in the intro?
