I bought this tweak, and I just love it. I can launch apps via any Activator command. I can make it say funny things, which is always good for a laugh. I can launch annoying urls on command, which is semi-useful.
Things I'd like would be dynamic commands utilizing words I've said, but it's a great start, for me at least.
If only this app didn't crash upon respring after install :/
Sounded like a great one, but I can't tell what it might be conflicting with.
Anyone had this problem?
I haven't downloaded it yet, but you might want to try restarting your iPhone if you haven't already. Maybe uninstall it, restart your iPhone, reinstall it, restart your iPhone, and see if it works.
If someone buys this, please leave a mini review for all of us. I'm going to hold off on getting it for now, but if it ends up working really well and people love it I'll look into buying it.
This tweak is great!! Works like magic, Its very accurate and barely fails. The app works as advertise and as seen in the video. So, if you are satisfied with what you see, thats what you'll get. I think that the problem present in this tweak is that to activate Voice Control you should press the home button for a long time (as in the unmodified Voice Control), so sometimes is easier just to click on the app icon instead of speaking out its name.
In conclusion I think that this app is perfect. I don't know if it will be very useful to you, and I guess that in daily use you would never launch apps using this feature. But its a nice add-on that you may sometimes use. So if you feel satisfied with what you see on the video, buy it. It works just as advertised.
Sweet, thanks! One more question, is it hard to setup the commands? Can it basically only open up different apps and tweaks or can it do anything really special and unique?
No, the commands are very easy to set up. You just need to write the text you want to say, and then the action to perform. Very easy to use! I strongly recommend you buying it. It will open apps, activator options, sbs settings toggles and URL's. It will read text outloud, and even perform tasks such as respring, turn off, and many others. Its nothing particulary special, but it will be unique the way you can customize it! You may say "lumos!" to turn on the flashlight, or "I want to write an sms" and the text app will open. It's really cool and i think that it worths the 5 bucks.
