Clicking the “Test drive now” button launches a copy of this app on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), a web service that provides on-demand compute capacity in the cloud for developers.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT APP! I LOVE IT! June 23, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
I love this application. The first thing you should do is make the following 3 customizations:

1. Say or type "Your name is Julie" and the app will respond to her new name. She will let you know what she thinks about her new name...
2. Say or type "My name is Daddy" and Julie will refer to you as Daddy.
3. Say or type "Change your voice". The 4 voices included in the software are very natural and realistic but it defaults to the system's mechanical "Stephen Hawking" voice. Change it immediately!

What can this app actually DO for you? Well, it allows you to control your Android completely by voice. Ask "Julie" to play your music or videos. Ask for directions to anywhere. Ask for the the time. Ask what's the weather like in Istanbul.

If you say "Julie, list your skills.", she will display a list of many of her abilities. Tap on each one and you will get more details about what she can do for you and how to control her. Those reviewers who wanted a manual just weren't smart enough to ask her what she can do! 8) It only took me about 5 minutes to set her name, my name, change her voice, customize her appearance and master her command list.

Need to find a picture of anything on the web, say "Show me a duck-billed platypus" and she will do a Google Image Search.

She can dial phone numbers and send text messages for you. No need to scroll through your contact list or remember phone numbers. Say "Text Jim" and she is ready to send a text.

Ready for some Angry Birds Space action? Well, just ask her to open the game! She can open apps & games. This can be handy when you have hundreds of apps installed and don't want to scroll through all of them...

She can update your status or do a check-in on Facebook.

Would you like to have the news read to you? She can read you the latest news from the web.

Say "Tell me a joke, Julie" and she will tell you a joke. Some of her jokes are interactive and require you to respond to them, like knock-knock jokes.

You can customize it in so many ways; you can change the voice of the assistant you can change her hair, eyes,mouth, nose and skin color.

2.0 out of 5 stars Kindle Fire HD November 2, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
I would live to be able to use this app as it was designed. However the kindle fire hd does not come with voice recognition software and it seems it can only downloaded from the google play store which in turn is not available to kindle fire users. Hoping that this can be fixed soon.

1.0 out of 5 stars doesn't work with Kindle Fire HD November 14, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
As has been pointed out already, it does not work with the Kindle Fire HD. It isn't because there's not mic, though, it is because you need a voice recognition app - Google Voice Search is recommended, and although it's out there, to use Google Play requires rooting the Kindle the last time I looked, and I'm not going to do that while mine is still in warranty.
If someone knows another workaround, I would welcome it. However, it seems very strange to me that Amazon doesn't provide that functionality right out of the box. I actually think Amazon deserves this one star review more than the app developer.

You'd think that this should be user friendly, but it isn't. She talks to me but when I try to get her to do anything, she just stands there. Read more
