Motorola BACK hate both

Keeps asking, say a command, for no reason

Q70%
by Q####:

I've been using this app for quite a while now. I find it very useful. I think people should be using a bluetooth of some kind if you're getting behind the wheel. I gave the app 4 stars since there is always room for improvement.

Q70%
by Q####:

This app functions similar to Cortana on Windows Phone when you turn on your vehicle with the added bonus of being able to send texts completely hands free using audio commands this app will automatically listen for. Biggest problem so far is sometimes inconsistent voice recognition. 5 stars if a workaround is made to enable Drive Mode *ONLY* when connected to a device that the user can specify.

Works well for most texts that aren't too long. Seems to get hung up when there are new texts coming in while it is reading a text... Good, accurate speech recognition. Great for quick replies to simple texts, not recommended for a long convo with your girlfriend etc......

J70%
by J####:

When it works it is the best ap I have found. Works right away with my car bluetooth even when radio off. Then sometimes it starts working and asking for directions . Also inconsistant with voice prompts. Frustrating when driving and want to send text. Will not respond. Fix kinks and you have a winner.

Just bought it, using it to replace My Motospeak on my Droid 4, which had quit working well (stopped taking dictation on reply). Have not received a text yet to see how it behaves, but I tried to use it to send a voice text, and it would not recognize any of the contacts I spoke. Using Google voice recognition.

O70%
by O####:

Just doesn't work anymore. Won't prompt for reading or just won't read. If more that one message comes into the queue, it just stops. Totally unusable for hands free while driving. Doesn't recognize contacts properly. Would not give it any stars.

Works through Bluetooth on my Schuberth PRO SRC system! Took a ride on the Harley had texts come in and heard it no problem. The mic picked me up and I responded to the text easily and never took my eyes off road! Highly recommend this App! P.S. this is the 1st App I ever paid for and I have had a smart phone since they came out.

I've just installed this and it seems to be working perfectly. This is about the 10th app that I've downloaded and installed trying to have my messages read to me and be able to respond by voice using my Bluetooth headset. So far so good only time will tell.

With latest voice recognition by android updates it is 100% accurate. If you tried it before and found it wanting, try it now as it is very good.

Nice app. Still needs a few improvements.

This has supposedly been tested on Galaxy S5, but I've followed the instructions, tried the suggestions, made sure it's up to date,but the damned thing won't work. It worked once then stopped completely. The app launches, will read a text but won't allow me to reply, just says 'no input detected'. So far it's crashed 3 times in as many minutes and I'm about to give up. Why can Microsoft make Cortana work and nobody else can come close? Waste of money.

I love it. Ive tried and paid for many similar. This one is the best. However, when i leave my car the app stays open and the keeps asking me to "please say a command" after i leave my car. Its a little annoying to have to close the app manually every time i leave my car

I find all apps like this have their quirks but this is by far the best one I've used. Dev is good at replying to feedback as well

Everyone who drives and wants to be safe from using their phone for texting which is unsafe and against the law in many places. This is the app for you Hands free safe to keep your eyes on the road not on the phone, Also great support from Matthew Prosser if you have a problem with app let him know he will work with you to get it working right. Thanks For creating a very useful safe app keep up the great work. Like the new features you added to latest version . Wayne

Reasonable replacement for Cortana that I had on my windows phone. Does a nice job of texting for me while i concentrate on driving.

Product does what Moto Speak did, plus a little more. Works 75% to 95 of the time. New issue is that I tell it to read message, it closes. Need to contact support on this issue. Will post updates afterwards (and I'll adjust my rating accordingly.) At least for me, it is worth the money!

I want the app to open when I connect to my Bluetooth, but I don't want the screen to pop up. It's not that big of an issue, but I don't need it since I'm initiating everything from the headset.

Works fine, I do wish that it would read messages from a group thread.

K70%
by K####:

Activation command unreliable but otherwise good. Prevents it from being truly hands free.

A70%
by A####:

75% of the time, the app closes just after saying "Say a Command". Developer says hello fix it. I'll reevaluate after the app is updated.

Rarely functions on my Nexus 6, waste of money.

Older version is more stable.

Well worth the investment, does just what I need it to do.

Q70%
by Q####:

Had a question on some of the settings on how the app acts thru a Bluetooth radio. Emailed a question to tech support and within 5 minutes I had a return answer to my question. If only other developers took this much pride in their creations. Great app and well worth the small cost.

First time using it after update. Crashes on start. Need it back. Can I get back the old version? It use to work great. UPDATE it is fixed to a point. It seems the ability to reply disappeared. Doesn't seem to pickup your voice. In other words, reads the incoming text, but no way to reply.

K70%

Works well while not driving. Have not gotten to see how it works while driving. Will amend layer

U70%
by U####:

I have downloaded and uninstalled other text apps that did not work this well. Wished it was more flexible recognizing names in my phone book. Example Geoffrey/Jeffrey, Kathy/Cathy Lea/Lee/Leah. And sometimes won't read incoming text and you HAVE to say "send text" not just "send". That is why 4 stars. But close to 3. This is on LG STYLO.

Got the new Galaxy S7 and text messages no longer are read over Bluetooth. Calls come in over Bluetooth fine. Before worked great with my moto x. UPDATE: App works great with new update for marshmallow.

N70%
by N####:

Works as promised, possibly better than MotoSpeak. I bought the full version without hesitation. There are some issues that are likely settings-related and I'm not understanding. 1) I want the software to hide dormant on my phone until it connects with the bluetooth device. 2) I wish I could adjust the time between me stopping talking and the software thinking I'm ready to send. Often times I will pause or breathe and it goes to send mode. Thanks!
