Very intelligent assistant, just one request
Ben277
I love how intelligent and easy to use Hound is. By far the most useful voice assistant available today. My only request is that the voice be updated to sound more normal and natural. With that, this would be the perfect voice assistant.
Stay Away

Any app that asks you to agree to a massive “privacy” policy before moving forward is up to no good. Read the policy. My bet is that you will not sign up. A good rule in these matters is this: If you need a lawyer before you use the app, and stay away from the app.
Smart home

i love using the app, but with an apple phone siri is easier to use because you can use it outside of the app, and i would love for it to be compatible outside the app on ios
Limited but fun

I’m still exploring the app, so I may be missing certain aspects of the app. In general, it’s a really cool app and could prove to be useful by replacing multiple other apps I have. However, music can only be played while on the app, and it will pause if put into sleep mode. This is somewhat frustrating since there are other apps that aren’t limited in this way that also route songs through youtube. The other thing that makes this somewhat awkward to use is that it cannot be accessed outside of the app. I know it’s most likely not possible for the devs to do this, but it would improve its usefulness if one could use the “wake phrase” on the home screen and be routed to the app automatically. Also, custom wake words would be kinda neat.
Almost works as advertised

It works better than Siri except for when the phone is locked. Also have fun deleting the app! I figured out how but you might not! Notifications to home screen is why I removed it.
