Its a nice concept. I remember when Google Inc was developing that voice search I was one of the people that participated in the voice recordings for Nigeria in 2015. They've started another round now and the contract has been signed and its sitting on my laptop, hope to do the job next week. Its a nice experience though the money is small.

I tried using the voice feature but what I got was 'app not installed'. How do I get the application? Thanks
You need to update the app through Google Play Store

you Need a much quieter environment to do this and consistency cos the more you use it, the more the phone integrates your voice signature.

Note that some high end phones now comes with noise cancelation spec. I.e with my HTC M8, I can receive your call while on a bike trying to get through oshodi garage and you probably won't know.

If your phone keeps typing out the wrong words as you speak, it's probably cos of your accent, you need to work around that too.

N.B be sure to set your voice language too I.e United States or UK English.

I hope this helps
thanks

You must pronounce your words correctly (standard english) otherwise No. 3 (Google now) may not work properly. If your pronounce governor as "goh-va-noh" google will bring out a different result because you mispronounced the word. Also, brevity in my experience is helpful e.g. instead of asking "what is the exchange rate of 100,000 naira to dollar today" , simply say "100,000 naira to dollar" (note that "hundred" is pronounced "handred", not "horndred".
thanks.

Most roms are also replete with a ton of gesture controls. I like android, but most times i miss the simplicity of IOS

My best shortcut pre lollipop era, was the flashlight toggle. This shortcut can be activated on every stock droid and some custom firmwares by holding the home key when the device is locked.
Now i kind of like the multi window switch, although it's a bit unstable.
