Now a quick question what if you stop driving or biking. How would you turn it off.

@austiy12345

Hi, good question. The auto-response only happens when the app is running. So when you close the app, it stops.

@wolberda hi, idk if ull ever reply to this but i need help. i need it to text a picture back. a picture that is taken the phone camera. how do i do that. any help would be awsome Thanks :D

Sorry if someone has asked this already, but would this create an infinite loop of responses if you happened to reply to someone with the same app running (not entirely crazy, as I can foresee a few situations where that might occur)? How might this be avoided?

Hello!

Great movie! Wonder if you could help me with something .. I wonder how to make so that when you press a button, you should come to a spec home.

pleas help me!

[austiy12345]

@wolberda How do you make it so that they have to hit the submit button for the app to start auto responding?

@CHIVASRULE60 YES BUT YOU HAVE TO TURN YOUR CAPS LOCK OFF, OR ELSE THE APP WILL CRASH.

Seriously, yes. It's a free service by Google. You can sign up at the project's site.
