Siri being the most the fascinating feature missed by non-iPhone 4S owners. Evi app is the first true Siri competitor/alternative for older iOS and Android devices. Like Siri, Evi uses similar artificial intelligence for providing assistance with voice commands search. Check the video below!

Unlike a search engine, which simply looks for matching words and shows you a list of websites, Evi can understand what you want to know and gives back exactly what you’re after.  Evi is easy to install, costs only $0.99 and ia available for download in App Store. Evi is compatible with the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch running iOS 4.0 and up.

Though, there are ways to install Siri on iPad 2, iPhone 4, iPod touch 4G like Spire, H1-Siri etc. But some of them are not legal, some are complex and requires an iPhone 4S authentication keys along with a proxy server all the time, which makes the solution not so practical.

If you are thinking Evi of not being powerful like Siri, then hold on. It has been observed that Evi gives results as good as Siri and in some cases even better. Siri is quite accurate in US but lacks to give much results in UK but it is reported that UK based users are quite impressed with Evi app.

Evi Feature List:

  • Voice or text input – Chat to Evi in plain English and she will understand
  • Local information for UK and USA – Shopping, news, dining and more. Evi knows where you are and gives answers based on your location
  • One tap words – Allowing you to build your question super-fast
  • Built in browser – No need to swap to a different browser, view web links within Evi’s app
  • A learning and adapting intelligence – Rate Evi’s answers to help her learn more about the world
  • More than a search engine – Evi takes the searching out of search, able to review and compare nearly a billion facts from her database to give you exactly what you need

However, Evi cannot integrate with Calendar and Reminders like Siri, but in certain cases it gives more accurate and useful results for certain types of questions, reports TechCrunch.

If you have yet not installed Siri and want such app on your device, you can atleast give Evi one try. For instant updates and guides connect to us on @Jailbreakwire, join our Facebook Fanpage and join our Google+ network.
