Cortana App Reviews

I prefer Cortana, even though I have an iPhone. I have the Band 2 and Id love to be able to respond to texts or make calls with. Live commands without having to get a new phone!!!!!

This is one awesome app

Works great on IPhone. Cant seem to get it to sync between my PC and IPhone yet. But otherwise its great. Thank you

When is Cortana for iPad coming???

I bought a Microsoft Surface Book after verifying that it would integrate with my browser of choice as well as my iPhone. However, the latest automatic update restricts Cortanas use to Bing and Edge which just adds to my buyers remorse. I paid a premium price for a buggy product that has been paying for being a beta tester. Attempting to get help from Microsoft is frustrating and often fails to solve the problem after one hour or more on the phone. Now Microsoft makes the Surfacebook even less usable by restricting my choice of browser and search engine with Cortana. I had high hopes for the Surfacebook, but selling it on EBay is beginning to look like the better option.

Could you please allow Cortana to work with 3G? Shell only work with LTE.

I agree with Rathrune’s 12-15-15 review. I was really excited to give Cortana a try but quickly ran into the obstacle of it requiring location services on all the time. Nope, no can do - and since I refuse to do that, I can’t do a thing with Cortana. So I deleted it. Thanks, Cortana, for reminding me why I ditched Microsoft in favor of Apple way back in 2007 and, except for this one time, have never looked back.

This app has become a saddening shadow of itself. What came as a fresh alternative to the likes of Google Now with a friendly personality contrary to Siri is now a pitiful knockoff of its former self. What was intuitive and quick in Windows Phone 8.1 is now broken and slow everywhere else: Windows 10, iOS, everywhere. Where voice interaction was smooth and accurate it is now broken and useless; Most attempts at voice interaction just results in a long wait followed by a pointless return to the main card view with no acknowledgement of a request. Where search results were cleanly integrated as if made for the software they now feel worse than its creators own Bing app, as if a diluted webpage was haphazardly inserted into the app as an afterthought. Where information was once spoken to us, as if the assistant knew, is now pulled up as if we just typed the text into bing, only worse. And the Today widget? A basic, static list of reminders with a button to open the app. When we have widgets like Yahoo! Weather, OneNote, & Clips, theres no excuse for somethings that basic out of an app thats supposed to be a catch all one-stop information powerhouse. What could of been played off as being in beta on another platform is now clearly seen as a mistake; Its no different on Windows itself. I can read my news through MSN or Apple News; I can get my reminders through iOS reminders and even sync them to my Outlook.com calendar; The weather is better and more beautiful from Yahoo! of all places; HERE Maps can handle my navigation needs; Siri handles on-tap information and Bing is there with a more visual and appealing representation when i need to tap or type out more. Why do I need Cortana at all if Apples own software plays better with Microsoft services and 3rd parties can fill in the gaps? If you dont get rhetorics, I dont. I am dissatisfied Microsoft. You should be deeply ashamed of yourself for all the backtracking and change-for-change-sake that lead to this hot mess.

I am loving everything about this and its making my choice to leave Windows phone a lot easier the only thing I wish is if they had it Aplle watch app to go along with it.

I love her. She is very useful, has a good sense of humour and can sing.

Great app but it doesnt look exactly like the original cortana app on Windows phone and you cant open apps like you can on the windows phone version

i want you to make cortana to play your music on your music can do that please

Ive tried Cortana before when Windows 10 launched and there wasnt much there. Clearly improvements have been made and I really like having her on my phone! Hopefully down the road Apple will allow choosing of an AI assistant.. Id definitely go with Cortana

Is it possible to link cortana with the Microsoft band 2

I downloaded this mostly for curiosity, but the first question that comes to mind is why? I already have one robot to talk to, now Im being forced to choose between my girl Siri and the computer from Halo. Anyway after actually using the app... Siri is way better... And Cortana uses Bing... Gross.

Takes forever to load, still not extremely accurate for location reminders, no package notifications. So it is decent but not great.

Crashing please fix this issue

Whenever I open a new link and Im half way through it would refresh itself and goes back to the top of the page and it would continue to do it on the same page and other pages too. But the app is really good.

Sooooooo slow it hurts waiting for an answer or anything to happen will revisit soon

Thank you for everything and all your hard work youre the best!!!!!
