Evi
Description of App
Say hello to Evi.
Evi is the revolutionary artificial intelligence here to help with all of your everyday information needs.
Unlike a search engine, which simply looks for matching words and shows you a list of websites, Evi understands what you want to know and gives back exactly what you're after.
Need to know where the nearest bank is? Not a problem. Going out for dinner but can't decide where? She can help with that too. The more you ask, the more she will learn, and thus she is improving all the time.
Life is simpler with Evi.
On Monday 23rd the world learned about Evi and responded in a phenomenal way. To see how many people were excited by Evi and her app was overwhelming and hugely exciting for us. Unfortunately the enormous response was more than our servers were able to handle and so many users experienced connection problems.
Weíd like to say a massive thank you to everyone who downloaded the app, and to assure you that the team are working around the clock to get Evi back on her feet and ensure that she is better able to handle the huge number of people who wish to ask her questions.
So many thanks from everyone on the team, and Evi herself, for your patience and understanding.

Evi is another Siri like app for your 3gs and 4 phones. The two things I found that I disliked about this app is 1) The server is frequently busy and is overloaded quite a bit. 2) When you press the listen button you hear nothing. Just ask your questions and wait. There are indications of when to start talking and it will automatically search as soon it hears you stop talking. So while you are waiting there will be no noise or voice to tell you of the results. You must swipe around to find a text box that contains your question and then swipe right of that to find your answers. For the most part asking very specific questions can be quite accurate. Like a driving distance or even the flying time between two cities. Does a good job of converting currency, time, temp, and all sorts of things. So I was able to say Convert 40 knots in to miles per hour. I ask what is the 7th President of the United Sates and it was correct. Just like other Siri like apps it may take a few time with different way in saying it before she will understand or give you the correct information. Interesting app. As cheap as this app is I prefer Voice Ask and Voice Actions over this app. Very good for wanting facts and I find the server response slow. I give this a 3 out 5 stars.
