    Just tried it,servers are not even functioning. Waste of my money.With the iPhone 4s jail-broken I'm sure we will be able to get Siri on our apple devices and avoid the whole proxy issue

    Just because the 4s was jailbroken isn't really going to change anything. The reason being is the issue lies with the fact that siri servers will only accept 4s UDIDs and there isn't any way around that besides getting a UDID from a 4s user. The most that might happen is someone releases a siri jailbreak where you won't need a proxy server just a 4s UDID but chances are it will have to be released by a hacker group that is will to break the law.

    I think True Knowledge might be out buying some new servers tomorrow. It's all fallen apart by the looks of it!

    This app is not new... Only some new features, I had it on my iPhone 4 and never used it. Only it was free then...

    I wish they should have made it available on a trial basis for a few months, wait for complaints/critiques, patch it better and then price it higher. As is now, a few dozen bad reviews will hurt the developers than the rush to cash in.

    Tried a dozen times over the last three hours... Always the same "try later". Are they going to fix it, or just split town with my .99?

    It would be easier if Apple would just give Siri to everyone else instead of being selfish and making devs try and hack the damn program. Come on Apple, get your head out of your ass and share. The 4s ain't all that. My 4 looks just like it and has the same iOS. Don't say processor either cause that's already been proven wrong.

    It has tu work with the headset, when it's in your pocket and the phone is locked. Unless it can do that, it's useless! That's when Siri is most needed!!! I do not want voice recognition apps that work while i use the phone with my hands!

    The developer put up a disclaimer on the App's purchase page. Looks like the response was so overwhelming it crashed their servers, but they are getting it corrected. I downloaded tonight and have been able to get about a 75% response rate, so they must be close to getting capacity up. Otherwise, I have other Apps powered by Nuance (Dragon Go! and Dragon Dictation) and they are so awesome I know this will be worth the wait. This is the Developer's fault; not Nuance.

    Stop all your hating, they seem to have added servers as now it works most of the time. Only got the server message once this morning.This does exactly what is says it does so read the description carefully before buying.It is not Siri, it does not control your iPhone, it is not voice activated you need to press a button before you speak and it does not send email or text.It's simply a natural voice search with location and also gives knowledge base answers. It's well worth the 99 cents IMO.That said the website says it plans to add more Siri like features in the future. Also come in a Android app.

    Ive got it to work great at times. It is true that the servers are being bombarded during the day but at night they are functional. That's when I have had fun with it. I have gotten it to speak back to me and give me links to many questions that I have had. It's got to get better, faster but when it does, it will probably cost more... Just saying

    I got Siri installed on my iphone 4 and my iPod. I think its slower getting stuff from the server. I think its because of A4 chip.

    I've been trying this sporadically for two days and it has yet to answer a question for me. Too bad. I installed siri on my iPhone 4 but ditched it when it wouldn't play nice with TomTom (plus, I didn't know where I was going to find a proxy). Would love to have Siri or a Siri-like app but I might be waiting until I buy my iPhone 5, whenever that comes out.
