Who Needs Siri Anyway ?

Just ask Ziggy. (For free of course)

What does everyone think of Ziggy then?

Once you've had a little play around with Ziggy, do share what you think about him.

Well it apparently doesn't do locations. I asked it what the weather would be like tomorrow and it said "I don't know where you live". There's nothing in the settings to set locations.

Hmm I asked it the current time in New York and was informed that it was 7 hours behind Sacramento, not what I was expecting lol

Maybe it'll be a little better with the upcoming update, still a fun app to mess around with though.

I think its a great start for this developer. Microsoft could definately use a guy like this. I think this app will continue to grow and be a great app. Cant beat a free price either! Might want to grab it while it is free. Also, I found it funny to ask "Is microsoft better than apple?" Had a pretty creative answer but i wont spoil it!

Um. I got an answer that didn't even make sense. I asked "Is Microsoft better than Apple", and it responded with "Yes, I think it is. It's much better than Microsoft". lol

Also, I notice if it's a long answer, it will just cut off at some point, even if it's the middle of a sentence.

Voice control is ok. It's came a long way, but there are so many homophones in the English language Homophones - Your Complete List of Homophones . I have a contact named Leanne and every time I try to use voice control it hears Leanne as Lee and ... so it can't find the phone number. I don't think it will ever become any bigger than it is now.

Watched the video. Pretty impressive. I'd be surprised if MS didn't snatch this dude up.

Seems like it just goes to a search engine and reads off the an answer it finds. It dictated an unfinished answer to me because it wad longer than it could read.

I was checking Twitter last night, and one of my Twitter friends posted about Siri's answer to the "How much wood can a woodchuck chuck?" question.

I tried Ask Ziggy and got this:
