Maybe it's just me, but I can't seem to find the app on the Apple App Store. I know I can just click the 'Get It' link on this post but I like to actually search for apps just like a user would. When I search for 'Hound', I get a ton of SoundHound-like apps but I don't see this app.

@fbara Thanks Frank,we're seeing that too. Hopefully it will become easier to find as more people are searching and downloading.

@fbara just look up SoundHound, scroll to and tap Developer Apps (at the bottom of the page), there you will see all apps by SoundHound Inc. (including Hound app)

@abgeorgiana @moxlustAs @katiemc___ : As far it's interface and features are concerned, It's looks and feels awesome but It says "This app is incompatible with all of your devices." on Play store . Is it not available in India yet?

Hound is amazing. It's super fast. A real mobile personal admin.

Whoa. I'm bouncing between Google Now and Siri but so far this is strong competition.

Why is this not available outside US? 😤

@nrpalao Hi Néstor, we do want to make Hound widely available, it just takes some time to make all features work across all locations and languages and we want all experiences to be as great as possible. Please stay tuned!

I can't believe how fast and accurate this is. I also can't believe they could do it this well and Apple (Siri) and Microsoft (Cortana) seem to struggle so much to get it right. This is really impressive.

@chrisdolle Thank you for the kind words! It's encouraging to hear. Please let us know how your experience goes as you continue using Hound.

Woah this really is what Siri should be. Why isn't Siri like this?
