This is the worst app I’ve ever used. I feel like i totally wasted my money. Not once has it pulled up a single correct artist that I’ve asked for, or a single correct contact. I’m so frustrated and disappointed.

No there is no network connection required.

Does anybody know if this requires Internet connection such as WiFi or 3G? There were other apps like this that came long time ago like Say Who and Where and the list goes on and on however they all required Internet at all times as their voice recognition feature was not 'built-in'. If the application is large that means they have the voice recognition built in (like the iPhone 3GS) or else this isn't anything 'new' per se..my two cents!

Nice review, but I doubt I would ever use something like this. I'm a 3GS owner, and the only time I've used the Voice Control is to show other people what my phone can do. I enjoy the “tap” experience of the iPhone OS, and prefer to use my phone that way. I've had voice control on other phones, as well (although this is a “new” feature on the iPhone, it is a pretty ancient feature for other phones), and I didn't use it then either. That's just my preference, though.

There is a setting that let's you use voice to activate the result rather than having to click it.

Seems counter-intuitive to have voice commands that ultimately need tap intervention anyway. Seems to me opening the app and navigating to where you need to be to give the voice command just to then have to tap to do what you want isn't much of an improvement on just opening the app you're actually trying to activate directly.
