Please review this company's privacy policy before using this app. You will find that they have the authority to share your contact names with their contractors and subcontractors, but when I sent them an email asking for their definition of "contractor" and "subcontractor", I received the following response, "The questions you are asking are non-public confidential information." They can argue the need for accurate voice recognition all they want, but I'm not giving up my contacts without an explanation of who will have access to them.

I'm somewhat of an iPhone professional. A lot of people call me for help with their iPhone. I test a lot of apps and delete a lot of apps. I delete the apps because their either built for young users or they're really basic or both. This app surpasses all the apps in the app store to date. It's a sophisticated app connecting you to several apps and options on your iPhone by voice. Most apps are one dimensional that you can use to do one thing. Vlingo integrated absolutely into the core of your iPhone user experience. This app deserves to be integrated into the iPhone update making it part of the Apple software. It should be more than a springboard icon, it should be part of all the native iPhone apps. My complaint echos others. I don't like not being warned about my contacts uploading to Vlingo servers. This is intolerable. It's a tolerable thing to do this with a warning. It's intolerable doing it wihout a warning. I encourage developers to consider what myself and others are saying. At the very least "the very least" warn users before hitting the contact sync button. This is a 5 star beginning crippled for privacy reasons.

Sounds like a decent app, downloaded it, but after reading privacy policy and that they record pretty much everything you say, I deleted.

Looks like a great app.

I’ve use vlingo on a BlackBerry and must say I was quite impressed, so I’m thrilled to see they now have an iPhone version available. I’ve tried out a handful of iPhone voice apps, including the new Google mobile app, Say Who, Say Where, etc. and must say I find this one to be hands down the best so far, and having seen what vlingo is capable of I think it’s safe to say this will only get better.

As far as working and what it does , this is a 5 star app , the thing the kills me is the fact u have no privacy.

you freaks complaining about the privacy policy have got it all wrong. its specifically states that the only thing they collect are names from your address book...no numbers and no addresses. it also says they do use your info in any way outside of vlingo. i really hate the people screaming privacy this and that....if you want to be 100% protected then give up your cell phone, your computer...hell prob even your tv since its going all digital, and of course your home phone if its all bundled together....then move off the grid, live off the land and then you'll have total privacy, unless of course google earth gets you!!!!!! you babies make me laugh.....btw vlingo is sick, destroys every voice app in the store. i use this a few times daily, and have done so for the last couple months and i think it has been wrong maybe two or three times......we're talkin' way above 95% accuracy.....

This app is great! I would even say it's better than Google's voice recognition app. Although the accuracy isn't as good as Google's, this app just does more. I love the integrated status update capabilities for facebook and Twitter and the contacts auto-dial is great. The only things stopping this from being a 5 star app I would say are the fact that you have to press the button again to tell it you're done speaking (why? It should detect silence at the end of a phrase like Google's app) and it doesn't recognize proximity triggers (putting the phone up to your ear) like Google's. I'm definitely going to keep tabs on this app and I look forward to future updates!

I'm impressed. The voice recognition is great. And I love the map and Facebook features.

This app is fantastic!! It crashed at first but I did a soft reset and now it works perfectly. It saves lots of typing time and let's you just do stuff. For example, hit 'search' say "google lyrics stairway to heaven" - perfect! Hit 'maps' and say "420 5th avenue new york city new york" perfect!! Dial the phone, whatever, it all just works.

This app performs as well as Google if not better on the voice recognition side.

Let u do a lot with your voice. Keeping it.

Best app created yet for the iPhone, hands down!

i think this app is awesome.. I tried everything. I have tonnes of friends with weird names and even theirs got recognised. I am excited!! :D

Very acurate. It's genius how they created this!!

I have used this app both previously on Blackberry and now have this app on my iPhone and it works perfectly for voice dialing and web searches.

This Is probobly the most useful app u can find and it's free .... Just get it

Understood almost everything I said, if it didn't get it right the correct saying was in its suggestions. I looked up a few couple hotels I use in La and it found them with no problems and sent me to google maps to the exact location. A+ application

This app is excellent. It does more than any app I've ever had.

This app works perfectly for me. It has understood exactly what I have said everytime I have used it. I guess people just don't know how to annunciate properly. However, a text feature would make this app 5 *'s

hey three words myspace socail status!!!!! Otherwise I love it

I love how everyone listed on here who actually has it and has really worked with it give it 4 or 5 stars claiming they love it, and then how just a few people giving it 1 star for retarded reasons like "I can't get it on my iPod Touch" or "it doesn't have AIM" or "I can't get it to work"(when they haven't tried reinstalling) bring down the overall average to 3. This app is EXCELLENT. Unbelievable accuracy, and better than all it's competitors. It is completely free, so if you've got dumb complaints that don't apply to anything, keep your 1 star to yourself.

Google has been beat! Facebook updates by voice!!!

Awesome app!! Voice features all in one spot!! And it's free...how could it be better?!?

I wasn't expecting this app to work as well as it does, but I'm very impressed with it. Works great. Being able to call someone just by saying, "call so-and-so mobile", is amazingly convenient. Very well done!

I've tried a few of the voice apps out on the App Store and they were spotty at best when recognizing what you say. Not this app. I've tried map locations, dialing contacts and web searches. It performs pretty damn well. This will save me a lot of time typing. Other apps like this just didn't measure up and weren't reliable so I never ended up using them. I'll be using this app frequently. Already moved it down to the bottom 4 apps on my iPhone that are always visible no matter which home screen you are on.

The only trouble it has in terms of recognition is foreign names in my contacts, otherwise it is really good
