Ans : This app uses Microphone to listen , it may b the case where Mic is being used by any other app , so
system refused to provide Mic object to Active Searching & Hence , it stopped listening. Open the App & Restart
the Service in this case.

Ans : Sometimes , when App tries to load some necessary files from external SD , the request for loading that files
is interrupted & hence it gets Force Close (FC). But this happens Rarely.

I'll give this 5 stars for the moment. Finally, I can use my phone by voice as though I'm NOT totally tricked out with Nova Launcher. Active Searching is a lifesaver. I only have 3 complaints: (#1) I want more choices for my hot phrase, and one of them must be "Okay, Google" or some variant thereof (#2) This is probably a lot trickier, but I use WidgetLocker, with no security, just a slider. Active Searching won't unlock WidgetLocker, and the screen doesn't even turn on when it's off. Instead, Now launches in the background and is there waiting for me when I manually unlock WidgetLocker. (#3) I want Active Searching to start on boot_up. Great app, impressive creation, keep up the good work!

UNSECURE but works. This app will unlock your phone when you say the phrase so make sure your okay with that. You can say your phrase and then open ANY app! Doesn't re-lock phone reliably. Works 1 in 10 times. Seems to disable screen off timer. Doesn't start automatically with the boot of the phone You often have to reboot to get out of the app. App is a good start but still some work to go. Look at this as a kickstarter project and buy in early. Once its completed it'll be worth 5 times this amount.
