I'm running the latest version of it and I have issues with it understanding me every now and then. Still far from prefect.

And not all features work in aus such as theatres nearby for eg: a Google search comes up only.Still better than that robot Siri.

Nope. You can set it to Australian English.

But if you want it to read results out loud back to you, then you have to put it on US English.

Can't say I'm surprised that the broken down family car was a Captiva.

This is going to sound incredibly noobish, but how do you get this app (Android)? Is it on the Play Store, or is it just the built-in voice search thing that's next to the search bar on the home screen of Android phones that's been there forever? :redface:

It's listed in Play as Google Search, if I recall correctly.

There is a 'Voice Search' by Google on the Play Store which is already installed but was last updated in June 2011 :run:

What version of Android are you running? I'm not sure if these updates are tied to Google Now - which is only available with Jelly Bean - or if they're available with older versions of Android.

...Android is a fucking mess, isn't it.

I hate the whole thing about it not being able to give directions to illegal services. I understand the reasoning, and I think the reasoning is stupid.
