  • can you call people or send text messages through this app

  • @Dontcallmetimtam you can use google voice actions for that, evi is more for easy and wider search with nicer answers, IMO

  • Can you delete Evi history?

  • Now if only we could get an app that removed twee ukelele music from technology adverts...

  • Yes,Thai food is delicious!

    (from Thailand)

  • Yes spiderone after update u can clear history

  • Does anyone know how to delete the history on evi??

  • Plz plz answer !! I want to buy this app but i'm in Canada, will it work ? I saw review that say no :S and if no why ?? Help plz :D

  • Free on the Android

  • this app is great. The best ive seen. Understands everything I say.When it can send txts & make appointments it will be better than siri

  • @theogee02 I'm glad you like it! •)

  • omg! please release this for WindowsPhone7

  • Bring it to WinPhone please.

  • This is cool and I already own an iphone4S.Using it on a iphone 3G and iphone4.

    Well worth $1!

  • Cool! It works now! Thanks True Knowledge! (^^)

  • Guess I'll try this out. Hopefully it doesn't disappoint.

  • I really love this app! I also love the Easter Eggs that comes behind it especially "I need to hide a body" 's response haha

  • How to clear history

  • It'd be great to integrate with other Google products like Gmail, and perhaps social network info sources so that you can say something like "What libraries are close to my school?" or "Any updates on Facebook?"

    Also consider an API for other 3rd party plugin integration (like feedly) so that you can ask "What's the latest in Arduino DIY?" and show specific recent articles from favorite sources.

    It seems like a great app, but it needs greater breadth.

  • Disappointing thing is that it can't make calls or send/read sms and emails. I hope they can update it soon.

  • @jadaty1111: Lmfbao!

    Remember those days? You know, when rap was really rap.

    I know exactly what song that is.....

    Eminem ft. Dr.Dre - Conscience

    Now meet xXxLoyaltyxXx1, the intelligent nigga...25 years old...successful & rich...a female magnet...the kind of standup guy that women can find more things that's not wrong with than the things that are...

  • Waiting for Italian support, in English works so well!

  • Its a great app, however, well, its an app. To make it anything near useful you will have to integrate it into iOS like Siri otherwise its just not practical to open the app every time you want to use it. I guess its never possible on the app store, so I suggest that you should develop a tweak on Cydia or some 3rd party store that allows "Siri" like functionality. Just my 2 cents.

  • It's like Siri, except it actually works the way its suppose to!

  • Meet Evi.. 23 years old.. fed up with life and the way things are goin.. she decides to rob a liquor store.. but on her way in... she has a sudden change of heart.. and suddenly... her conscience comes into play

  • Wow, I'm impressed. It would be nice if it was integrated more so I could make calls, send texts, and play music. Android's built in feature works, but it still seems rough.

  • Will this app be able to read text messages to me?

  • I have an Android phone and when I try to talk to it - it only says "I'm waiting for a network connection before trying this one". Can you please help me?

  • I got this onto my Android today and have been trying it out, it's not bad at all, in fact it's very good considering the much more reasonable price for an Android than you pay for an iphone which I think is a bit steep, you're looking at a minimum £399 for an iphone but you can get a really good android for under £100, much more reasonable, Evi is crashing a lot at the moment but I'm confident that this will be ironed out and that it will be much better soon, hats off to android for this :).

  • Server Problem In India! Please Fix it! Evi, I have high Expectations from U!

  • Can you use Evi on Iphone 3g?

  • Well it suck it doesn't call any one or text like Siri does

  • Comment removed

  • It's coming along very well! Before you would get a error message but now you can tell that they are working hard to fix this issue! It's a must have! :)

  • amazing app dear developers you have earned my respect

  • Better than Siri but they need to fix the servers :)

  • i asked EVI: what is anonymous ! and got a great answer...

  • Can it text?

  • looks like a promising app, hope you sort out the server issues though, I bought the app, but every response is I'm really sorry etc... but will look forward to stable servers.

  • @JamesTheGreekLover

    Well some people have the same problem :/

    Could anyone help ?

    Thank you

  • Crappy app.I want my money back.Server overload, and cannot reach to my servers, errors all the time, and it's not from my internet connection.My internet connection is working fine.

  • Just got this today! Made a review on it 1 hour after I got it, about to upload it to my channel!! Nice app!

  • @NetGenReviews Thank you so much! I'm glad you like the app and it's great that we're finally able to show Evi off to the world

  • How do u delete the history?

  • @smbluthing1

    hahahaha i can understand you brother

  • @Eviknows Just bought your app. Excited to try it and review it on my blog.

  • Please tell me Is that app working? and why does she sound like 30yr old comparing to Siri?

  • Since I doubt the iPad 3 will have Siri integrated, I'll get this for iPhone instead.

  • Comment removed

  • Ohhh snap apples got some competition! haha

  • Dear Evi,

    While you may not be as polished or as fast as Siri, you are an extremely promising app. I wish the best of luck to the developers behind this app!

  • @edwardthevirtuous Aw, thank you so much. Once we get more juice behind those servers then you'll see a big speed increase, as Evi is certainly faster than many are currently seeing

  • I wanna download... but people are saying its working cause of servers.

    Please fix, this app looks awesome! :c

  • @Mattguin123 Thanks Matt. We're certainly looking a lot better than we were, but we won' t be happy until we are FLYING!

  • This is more of a virtual intelligence program that an AI

  • @Khang11 Oh, she's growing. Before long she'll be piloting starships, providing tourist information on space stations and annoying smart mouthed pilots. ;) OK, so that might not be part of her original spec and just the ravings of  someone for whom March cannot come soon enough. •)

  • Server is Really bad.. Response time is really worst :(

    Waste of money untill they fix it :(

  • U mad, Apple?

  • Im working on it....waiting waiting waiting>>>>"my servers are being very slow in responding. This might be due to high demand or another technical issue.my apologies-if I get a response Ill replace this message" :( How long to get thru this????

  • A lot of comments from my country that it doesn't work in Malaysia at all.. and you get 1 stars rating out of 5.. GG..thanks for showing this clip..

  • Serious potential! Can't wait until you add more servers so I can talk to Evi ;)

  • Comment removed

  • Considering its made buy Cambridge scientists it think is i am in Illinois when i am in fact in London. I thought Siri might have a useful contender but alas not. Just a cheap imitation made by some hacks trying to make a fast buck. FAIL.

  • @foreverbeer Hacks? I assure you not. :) The team behind Evi have been developing semantic search tech for a good many years and the majority of other search apps use the True Knowledge API. That said, mistaking a location for London to Illinois is far from good. It would be good to have more info so we can dig to the bottom of why that is and what device you're using. I would be much appreciated if you were to raise a ticket to help us fix that.

  • @EviKnows I would like to help as I see it has great potential. I am using the iPhone 4s 5.0.1

  • Comment removed

  • this app is shit, it needs a lot of work.

  • @wildcat1559 I'm sorry you've had a bad experience. The fix for the server load will ease the problems you've seen

  • any chance to get this baby on my nokia n8 with Symbian Belle?

  • @ejecu We certainly want to expand onto other devices, but we can't say as and when that might happen yet, sorry.

  • its better than siri because of one thing it is important to ipod touch 3g users you can type questions not all voice

  • Are you going to fix the server connection issue?

  • It's shitty. Poor excuse for a voice control application. I have almost full bars AND almost full strength on my WiFi, but every time I ask it a question, it says, "I'm waiting for a network connection before trying this one."

    What the fucking fuck?

  • @RyandBurtson That's not the app causing the problems, but a lag on the server response caused by high demand. New servers are currently being plugged in and brought online to fix that.

  • @EviKnows Yeah, I guess so. It works now.

  • eh, so ugly design. typical android. I pick looks over anything else. Fix the ugly look and i'll buy it

  • I've just bought it but is it a bit disappointing that the servers are overloaded, hopefully this issue will get resolved in the near future because I am quite excited! The voice recognition is great! But I've still not had any answers yet, so please get it fixed!

  • I'm getting my thoughts together. FOR 20min?

  • PLEASE make it free!!!

  • Would it be possible to get this work without internet connection? I mean atleast some commands ie. the conversions etc.?

  • waiting it on installous!

  • all i am getting is 'Im waiting for a network connection before trying this one' or 'Im getting my thoughts together' .... nothing works atm

  • This works perfectly!!

  • @THEDUBMAN101 Huzzah! I'm glad you approve. •)

  • It should be free

  • @Jamestordoff And we would dearly love it to be. Alas, while Android has a built in voice service and so can allows us to offer the app for free, iOS requires the Nuance voice service which in turn costs money, so the fee is unavoidable.

  • @EviKnows No, it SHOULD cost money. people these days. jesus.

  • @Jamestordoff

    Jailbreak your iDevice. Download the software, if YOU like it, BUY it.

  • It has good results but currently its slow.

  • I'm pretty happy so far but I was wondering, are you using another voice for this video than in the iPhone app?

  • @unprovincial Android has it's own built in voice service, while we use Nuance for iPhones

  • Devs - please work out a key combination to bring up Evi anywhere anytime on Android. If that happens I would be willing to pay for it. But as a standalone app- its functionality is somewhat limited.

  • @Computd We've had a few people ask for just such a tool, so watch this space.

  • @EviKnows I would like to request binding to a long press of the search key.

  • Android Users~ Majel will soon come to us~

  • @eviknows If you guys could integrate this with texting and music somehow (basically siri for iPhone 4) and allow the bottom on the mic to control I would definitely purchase

  • Very cool app! But sometimes doesn't connect to server :( For 99cents I can't complain!

  • Exited and purchased, but can't connect to the server?! when will it be fixed?

  • Server overload

    

  • WINDOWS PHONE PLEASE

  • That's one ugly smiley face.

  • Severs overload after i pay a dollar very uncool, Wont answer one question.

  • It's very unprofessional to have your servers overloaded right after you release the app. I paid $0.99 but I'm really annoyed that it still has yet to answer a single question without a server error

  • Waiting for the sever issues to be fixed, but over all I am impressed! Very impressed. Looking forward to using this "in the field"

  • i just purchased it and i'm frustrated about it.it doesn't respond to my queries at all. i hope u can do something about it real fast!

  • Will this become a paid app once its out of beta on android phones?

  • @spinnygame No plans to. We didn't want to have the iPhone version paid, but we needed to cover costs for the speech translation service, Nuance. Android has it's own voice system and so we're able to offer the app free for Android users.

  • Does this work on the iPhone 3g? Many Nuance apps don't work and it'd be great if us outdated users got some cool voice functionality too. Thanks and looking forward to your response!

  • @MrRendezvous101 Yes it does. I can attest to this via my own much loved 3g which, although slowly dying a death, still ran Evi perfectly. Of course, it may be best to wait until the server issue is resolved. ;)

  • @DazVII Me too

  • i prefer mi siri ^^

  • Do you have a blog, Twitter, or Facebook page?

  • But will it Blend?

  • @XparanoyedxModz Darn it! I knew there was something we missed!

  • @EviKnows R u guys comin up wit an app for windows phone 7

  • Dragon Go is way better.

  • And yet, it's still in English. So useless unless you have proper english pronounciation.

  • It's working for me. :) Only problem is that there's no sound. I tried pressing the sound button in the UI and nothing changes.

  • it has HORRIBLE reviews by iOS users, don't get it until they can fix it and really make it work like SIRI or wait until CRAPple allows non-4s users to get SIRI in a OS update

  • @Hayaserforeveer They have already said they wont

  • Makes me wonder if Apple will step up and make siri better. I asked siri, and It didn't know any recipes for chocolate cake, it asked me to do a web search....

  • @spy4561 They will remember it's still in Beta

  • @EviKnows I have faith in your app it looks exceptional and it is (from the few results i have actually recieved) very accurate for the UK but please tell us the estimated time of repair for the servers once you do this app will be getting an immediate 5* rating on itunes and a reccomendation to all my friends cause I know it will be the next big thing

  • @MrUltrAdaman Thank you so much. If I could give an ETA I would do so, but as soon as we know how long it will be then it will likely be fixed at that point. :) As soon as it is done then we will be shouting from the rooftops

  • It's working for me!! it just keeps on going on and off

  • Servers need to be fixed and once they are the app will kick ass! Anybody know when it will be fixed?

  • @IZYyAaNn also waiting for a reply.... Waiting to use it. :(

  • I love the app idea I just need the server to work. When will the server be fixed?

  • Wow will this work on my ipad2

  • @xXMARCUS4LIFEXx Yes it will. It's not optimised for iPad, but I'm an iPad 2 user myself and used it extensively when testing the app before launch and Evi works just fine. When the server is behaving itself. :)

  • Good luck with your software!! I don't have an android phone to test it but Good luck!!

  • @Ishmum123456 Why, thank you very much. :)

  • @Ishmum123456 Thank you so much, and hopefully one day we'll have it on your device. :)

  • please fix the server. I just bought it now. Was thinking to impress my friends. but :( sadly server is not working please please please fix it Cheers!

  • FIX THE SERVER PROBLEMS!!!

  • @Mondaybcad The tech boys are busy doing just that.

  • @EviKnows any idea of timing

  • A nice idea, but it doesn't work. The answer to every question is this: "I'm having trouble getting a response from my servers. You might want to try again in a minute." You might want to try again after a new release. Or not.

  • nice for those who has the iPhone 4.

  • @GamesAndTechTV ... or 3g, or 3gs, iPad and Android. She works as well on my poor old 3g as she does on the 4s.

  • but she cant text...

  • @stoopkitty2 Nope, that wasn't part of her aim during initial development. Right now she is all about knowledge and doing that better than anyone else.

  • @EviKnows and i'm sure she does.

  • Evi is having some bugs on android. can't connect to any servers

  • @itsme729 Yes, sorry. Her servers having been having an.... interesting... evening following a massive influx of users. The tech boys are on the case to get her back on her feet.

  • Looks pretty cool. I am however a little worried that the strain on your servers will prevent me from using it (her?). I think I'll hold off on buying at the moment solely for that reason. Any ETA on when you'll have more servers available to handle demand?

  • @joshwertheim As soon as humanly possible. :) Prudence forbades me for saying more (and the desire not to jinx things.)

  • @EviKnows Okay great thanks. If anything perhaps you could let me (and everyone else) know when things are up and running later.

  • @joshwertheim As soon as that happens I'll be shouting from the rooftops and singing from the mountains.

  • I think 9to5 Mac and Mac Rumours have caused poor Evi to overload... Can't et any answers at the moment.

    Looks fantastic, great UI guys, I can see a lot of thought and attention to detail has gone in to it - we'll worth 69p

    ***the 69p is paying for the Nuance license as well, those who think this should be free. It's cheaper than a 4S with Siri

  • @mjcarrig82 I'm glad you like it! Alas, we would have liked to have it free on both iPhone and Android but it was not to be.

  • I hope so because I expected something like Siri, maybe better on Android.. Good luck Evi

  • It needs to be free

  • LOVED IT, great app indeed but can it play music and do system tasks ?

    again great app :)

  • @khaneo Not at the moment. Right now she is all about knowledge, the understanding and provision thereof, but who knows what the future holds.

  • @EviKnows seems like the servers are getting overloaded, testing out on iphone 4 running ios 5.0.1 on AT&T, but keep getting the message ' trouble getting response from my servers'.

  • Looks interesting ..

  • I love the music you use in this video. Whats the song called?

  • @MostlyAnthony1 I know. I've listened to it a LOT and it still makes me bounce. It makes me think of Little Big Planet and so I smile as a result. The tune is called Strolling Through the park. Bouncing, more like. :)

  • @EviKnows Its a catchy tune. Thanks for the reply :)

  • @EviKnows I have been looking for the song on iTunes and YouTube but have not been able to find it. Do you know of a place where I can buy or download it?

    Thanks

  • @MostlyAnthony1 It's not available for general distribution, sorry. :( But if you do like that kind of thing then definitely check out the Lilttle Big Planet Soundtrack

  • Is it going to be intergraded with things like SMS, emails and calendar etc?
