If you can't get my app to work: before leaving negative reviews...

I respond quickly. We have solved many problems (usually with the Samsung software and not my app) If you can't get your phone to wake to your voice w/o my app, neither Free nor Pro will fix it :-( Try Free before buying Pro

S5 owners: enable car mode for voice wake up to work. Now switching from Drive Link too!

►Dear disappointed users, Please don't rate my app low because voice wake-up doesn't work on your device. My app has little to do with that, it's a decision of Samsung and/or your carrier. It's more practical to express our frustration over this towards them → maybe they will change it in an update.

Your Galaxy Note 3 or S5 does always listening voice wake-up similar to the advertised "Okay, Google Now" Motorola Touchless Control on the Moto-X → Moto Voice

Differences:

►#1 Say "Hi Galaxy" (while the screen is off)

►#2 SVoice will try to service you, which is much less capable than Google Now

No way to fix #1 on Note3 (you can set your own command on S5,Note4), but #2 can be solved with my little app: whenever S Voice would start, you are redirected to Google Voice Search

►Offline announce mode: Instead of Google Voice Search, you can have the phone announce pre-selected information, when you wake it up by saying "Hi Galaxy". It's convenient when offline, when either S Voice or Google Search could do little. Select Offline announce mode in Settings, or have it auto enable while offline.

It can announce: time, battery or any notification using the app Touchless Notifications http://goo.gl/bXVWFB I used this mode while doing sports, I could just say "Hi Galaxy" (or "Time Galaxy") to hear the time from the phone in my pocket.
