If you can't get my app to work: before leaving negative reviews...

I respond quickly. We have solved many problems (usually with the Samsung software and not my app) If you can't get your phone to wake to your voice w/o my app, neither Free nor Pro will fix it :-( Try Free before buying Pro
S5 owners: enable car mode for voice wake up to work. Now switching from Drive Link too!
►Dear disappointed users, Please don't rate my app low because voice wake-up doesn't work on your device. My app has little to do with that, it's a decision of Samsung and/or your carrier. It's more practical to express our frustration over this towards them → maybe they will change it in an update.
Your Galaxy Note 3 or S5 does always listening voice wake-up similar to the advertised "Okay, Google Now" Motorola Touchless Control on the Moto-X → Moto Voice
Differences:
►#1 Say "Hi Galaxy" (while the screen is off)
►#2 SVoice will try to service you, which is much less capable than Google Now
No way to fix #1 on Note3 (you can set your own command on S5,Note4), but #2 can be solved with my little app: whenever S Voice would start, you are redirected to Google Voice Search
How to set up (see video)
0►Before install: start Samsung S Voice
1►MENU / Settings
2►enable "Voice wake-up"
3►[optionally enable "Open via the home key"] (S5,Note4: long press HOME for Google)
4►test if your phone can wake to your voice
5►install this app S for Switch Voice
6►open it
7►Lollipop (Android 5.0) enable Accessibility Service!!!
8►activate: ON (top right)
9►click checkmark
Pro benefits:
►You get to support an independent app developer who is devoted to apps which put YOU in control
►All premium features of Bubble Cloud Widgets get unlocked if SfSV Pro is installed → http://goo.gl/0PzVQi
►The app Extra Time® is included in Pro version for free! → http://goo.gl/7GVJWJ
►Option to hide notification icon
►Stays enabled at the end of the *week* The free version has a reminder built in, it needs to be re-enabled on every Sunday morning
►Offline announce mode: Instead of Google Voice Search, you can have the phone announce pre-selected information, when you wake it up by saying "Hi Galaxy". It's convenient when offline, when either S Voice or Google Search could do little. Select Offline announce mode in Settings, or have it auto enable while offline.
It can announce: time, battery or any notification using the app Touchless Notifications http://goo.gl/bXVWFB I used this mode while doing sports, I could just say "Hi Galaxy" (or "Time Galaxy") to hear the time from the phone in my pocket.

.. Any chance of this getting updated for the Galaxy S 6? The potential is there but because it doesn't actually open s voice its not a launching Google now. If I manually open s voice of conscience. But if I use the voice command it just opens s voice. Thanks

I have to say "HI GALAXY" 2 to 4 time before it responds. Sometimes it'll kick google now without the command by accident. It shuts off the voice support at random times and I have to turn it back on. Nice try playing google developer but this is a fail.

Much improved, changed my review, worth the installation. Much better than the HOME2 shortcut I had recommend instead of this app. All works now as described. Even comes with its own home2 shortcut, and there is nothing to set up or configure, just install and turn on. If it holds up I will definitely buy the pro.

Hi, I purchased your app after having the free version but unfortunately it doesn't work. It's very strange because I had the free version and it worked just fine. I would really appreciate any assistance or any information you could offer me in order to get this app to work on my phone Thank you! !!

This app doesn't work very well with the galaxy s5. Its mostly incompatible. Also, free version has a time limit for listening. Must buy pro to use unlimited listening while screen is off. 2 stars.

I had installed a different app HOME2 SHORTCUT for this exact same purpose as this S SWITCH. I will go back to what I was using before, it's a little complicated to set up but once you do it, it works. I tried this app because the set up is easy but it didn't work at all for me. The developer should first get the free app to work then push the pro version not the other way around.

This app is a great workaround for what Samsung should allow anyway. I give 5 stars not only for the app, but because the support is EXCELLENT. 5 - 6 email responses in 2 days. THANK YOU! !

I'm uninstalling because I've absolutely no idea what it's meant to do. It doesn't seem to do anything. I thought I could operate the phone through voice commands but zilch. If there is more info forthcoming I will try it again

I love that there is an app to bypass the crappy Samsung s voice program. But the delay to activate the Google search is just ridiculous. Easily 5 seconds. I have the time delay set on zero. And I have a Note 3 so there is no issue of my phone lagging. Fix this issue and I'll gladly pay for the app.

This app does exactly what it says on the tin. The developer is awesome with super speedy support. Thank you!

It has worked with nearly ZERO flaws and force closes. It keeps working very well and can detect many of my commands, and the developer has given extensive guides to set this up properly. Thank you.
