Open Mic+ for Google Now

The program itself works OK but my problem is that sometimes it works and other times it cuts off the response from Google. For instance, i will ask it a question like "What time is it?" or "What is the weather forecast in Washington D.C.? I will start getting a verbal response like "The is" and then it cuts off. I also noticed that the cutoff occurs when Goggle Now brings up a page with the relevant information pertaining to the question I asked. If this problem did not occur, I could rate it higher. Kind of defeats the purpose of have a verbal read back as anyone can simple read the response.

Will work without taskr or commandr on a fresh factory reset, install with old play services, run the launcher, then allow play store to update after a soft reboot. Thanks man sick app, very stable. Once you spend some time getting the os to comply, so many different builds of Android and yet u made it happen. Props.

**Update** I shared on 3 social medias and I haven't received the features that are promised after doing so.** Needs to be more secure, it stars up in my pocket when no one is even taking, it just hears small sounds and starts. But it's handy when it does work when you want it to, when you're hands are dirty and you don't want to touch your phone atm. I tried it on my moto g1 and my moto g3 and niches can start it off and unlock my phone with the settings I put. After it starts okay Google on the moto g1 my phone will glitch out and I have to put it to sleep until the lockscreen shows up. The moto g3 does not glitch

The only reason I got this app was to use its main features of changing the " ok google" command to something cool like " computer?" But I only get a notification telling me that help has been notified.... It's been notified since November and it's March now... This app is dead for the next generation a of phones. Google pixel Android Garbage!

. This app wants access to WAY TOO MANY permissions. It's a Microphone app, the most it should EVER need, (to actually work), is access to the microphone and storage, (to save recordings). However, the app also insists it have access to our contact list, phone, and messaging app. I can see that if you 'want' to permit it, however, this app insists on getting those simply to work. . Too much personal information gathering for me... I'm uninstalling this app... I don't need it, or any app, that forces you to enable all that merely to use a microphone. That should all be optional, which the user should decide on, not forced by the app.

Great app but not perfect. I would really like to see a setting in here that would allow this app to start up when I restart my phone I'm using a galaxy s4 mini and the first thing I did was disabled s voice. I would rate it 5 stars if there was a setting that allowed me to enable this as a startup program so when I shut off my phone, it dies or restarts excetra it would be ready to use rather than having to go to my apps and turn on open mic

It is absolutely despicable that a company as large as Google cannot keep up with a hobby app made by a student in their spare time. That said, the dev has dealt with it amazingly. I've lost faith in Google, not this app.

Hi, can you please remove that icon when the app is running. I mean, put it in statusbar as background apps need it to be stable but please remove the ICON from statusbar. I'm having other apps like Twilight and Volume Unlock which are in my status bar the whole day without showing any icon when the statusbar is collapsed. Please fix this and i'll give 5 stars (^_^)

Went it sort of works it has problems recognising shake,wave or okay Google command. When I tried to change okay Google to something else it crashed and wouldn't open. I really wants this to work.

It does hang and not respond sometimes even when sensitivity is set at highest. Use it often - keep up the good work at making it better. Talk to Google about a voice change feature. Could make a lot of money at $5 a pop.

Phone is now over heating, the battery is rapidly drauning, this app won't uninstall, screen is slow to respond to touch and regularly closes open windows, I don't get any notifications!

But 1 problem of this app is i say any thing like " Lock Phone " when the app is not lock the phone but search in google and shows app locks... Please solve this problem for better usage. Thats it.

Absolutely love this app since the bugs have been worked out. I really wish I would have known it is working now sooner. Dev ur a genius. I'm sorry I have a list review about 2 years ago!

I like that I can change the hotword from "Okay Google" to "Computer". But I don't really know how to use it otherwise. I want to be able to just say "computer" and have my phone command whatever I want from it

Won't explains why open mic isn't enable or how to setup mic to hear me. Is this a Linux operating systems program? Disable downloads is only accepted thru WiFi. I enabled data it's operating but still no mic Google mic not working either. Their no tools in sounds setting to enable mic while using Asus memo pad 7. I'm still investigating if this is a hardware issue or a software problem.

Doesn't work some of the time. Will turn on during utter silence. Asks for donations to turn on features despite not being updated since November 2015. Too buggy to recommend.

I installed this for one purpose only - to change "OK Google" to a custom phrase. Google voice engine is closed to disallow this. Commandr isn't making it happen. Totally infuriating

I followed the instructions when first opening the app but couldn't seem to get it to work. Whenever it asks me to disable the Google hot word, the app crashes afterward and won't seem to work. Note 5

This app is great, I make it my business to try apps personally to see if they work as well as they say. This app truly does the job it says & more!

Pretty nice.. Work likr siri.. But still lots of lags.. Like it hangs many times. I

Love OKAY GOOGLE. Best approach for phones ever. 5 stars for the app and 5 STARS TO YOU RYAN. Keep up the good work. Make your mom and dad proud!

Love love love opening Google Now with my voice, even when the screen is blank. Using it with app called Safe Areas which doesn't lock phone if I'm at home.

It's good but sometimes it doesn't respond. And if any compulsory thing which play a part of running this app is about to lack in someone's device ,give them a notification to solve the problem, this will be very very helpful for new user.

It tells me every word I enter is non English word. There is no language to add words too. It told me the word "dumb" was non English. I believe that's in the dictionary.

Have a Samsung s7 phone. Unfortunately this app will open up so that I can configure it but when I activate it, it will always crash. Very sorry to say it is unusable on my phone.

It doesn't work any better than the installed Google app. It stops frequently. No updates in a year. No response from the developer. Uninstalling.

The reason i gave this app 1 star is because it doesn't work! I found this app from a respected app i use to find awesome apps and games. So when i download the app and get hit with a high schoolers story about not having time to fix the app and all that. Look kid welcome to the REAL WORLD! Ppl dont care about ur time or ur story they want everything badass which isnt gonna happen so expectations are high already so u want money make an app that works

Went it sort of works it has problems recognising shake,wave or okay Google command. When I tried to change okay Google to something else it crashed and wouldn't open. I really wants this to work.

The app crashes each time I try and do the initial configuration. Kinda looks like Google doesn't want he app to do what it's designed to do. Uninstalled

I've followed the instructions on your website to setting my own Hot phrase, unfortunately, the screen I keep getting every time I change it asks me to change my engine to Google now, I click on the spot to do it and I receive "Google engine is not available due to a request from google"...

The open Mic app works great. I like being able to talk to the phone when the screen is off or locked. I also like being able to adjust the sensitivity of the Mic. The commandr app didn't work well with both the open Mic and commandr app working at the same time. The open Mic app would just cash all the time.

It is 100% Googles fault there are problems with this app. Kudos to the Dev He is a highschool junior. The app was so successful Google dud not want it to take space on their servers. One star reviews show up the lack of understanding of the person. This kid should have Our support, he will be big news one day. One million downloads of an app by a child!

Has worked well for me on 3 different phones. You are to be commended for the time and effort you have put into this. I am impressed. For those who have problems with the app instead of a poor review let the developer know the details and give him the opportunity to find a solution. No app will be perfect but this is a good one and it's free what more could you ask.... Keep up the good work.

Big help hands free. Set my own Hot phrase and use it often with screen off. Wakes up and performs command

Nice app very useful for showing off,just a little complicated

Got frustrated not working on moto x2 even if I say OK Google guide me with this team

Finally a way to customize the Ok Google app - thanks Ryan! Works well with my Moto G. Doesn't recognize non-standard English (like "Ziggy" from quantum leap). I like the run at boot option.

Very cool concept. Changing the hot word is great, if it worked. Contacted dev, no response. G should remove from Google Play

Uninstalls itself. Opening note says it doesn't work anymore, suggests Commander app. I understand Ryan is in school but if the app is completely non functional then it shouldn't be trying to attract new users... Just let us know when it's ready again or you'll continue to get bad reviews from people who have wasted time.

I mean it is a great app.......go for it........there is a lot of potential but it fails to open sometimes.....ID say it is a good app but it depends on YOU.......YOU need to like it
