Hound is the lightning-fast voice assistant that helps you get through your day.
Hound is the best way to search using your natural voice.What do we mean by natural voice? Instead of talking like a search query "OK Hound… Find Chinese restaurants", just ask "OK Hound… What are the top rated Chinese restaurants near me?" Youll be amazed at the lightning-fast response. Want to try something more advanced? Hound can use follow-up questions and commands to filter, sort, or add more information to the original request. Give this a shot: "OK Hound… Find Asian restaurants rated 4 stars or more within walking distance of Times Square and exclude Chinese, Korean, and Thai"But Hound isnt limited to restaurants and coffee shops.

I Love This App!
the best alternative to google
well I like it a lot, however it seems to be missing Hound anytime, if you can bring back that feature so I can summon Hound from any screen and include the lock screen I will give it 5 stars. also so far the only feature I've seen it can't do is take a screenshot
I would like to use hound more options but it seems Google won't let you in
Not as famous as "Alexa, Cortana, Siri" and "Google Assistant", but is better than "Alexa" just for not having a startup setup when it's 1st opened.
Hound is Siri for Android.
Really cool apps love it
Uninstalled because it only works when you open the app. Does not have the capacity to respond to voice commands when screen is locked. That ia the only feature i liked about assistant but it was tooo inconsistant!
Just want an app to open in my DEFAULT web browser not google f'ing chrome
Excellent
