Is it worth $18

**Rch1214** · 05-06-2009, 11:07 AM

I'm still kind of confused what the difference between 2.0 and 3.0 premium. I can do all of that already. I seems that the basic 3.0 version just limits the features already available in 2.0.

3.0 works with storm . 2. 0 wasn't setup for storm. It works I just posted a tweet with vlingo I will upgrade to pay it will b worth it

2.0 works fine with the storm. What more could you want from this app?

How nice of them to charge for features that were free in 2.0

**sdwc858** · 05-06-2009, 11:33 AM

2.1.0 is my current version and works fine with the storm. they only had problems when it first released a few months ago. looks like someone is trying to get paid now on something that is free and works hahah.

**gatewayad** · 05-06-2009, 11:42 AM

Dont change unless you want to pay for the email and text feature, anyone know how to downgrade back to 2.1 or 2.3, i like the app but no way am going to pay to say "text Bill"

**OneOfaKindDPC** · 05-06-2009, 11:46 AM

are you kidding me? they want money for the things I can already do with 2.1? Don't get confused, 2.1 works perfectly fine with the storm. I've been using it everyday since december.

I'll stick with 2.1 and enjoy everything I can do in the 3.0 premium with out having them rob me, what a disappointment.

**rrife** · 05-06-2009, 11:51 AM

I keep having problems with my phone's permissions....it won't allow me to give vlingo access to the internet by default, my only options are "deny" and "prompt"....so during the setup process where it ask me to say "search concert tickets", it fails because I get prompted to give the application access to the internet and the "always allow" option fails. Any ideas?

Yep i was really disappointed after reading the first post and downloading it without reading the rest of the posts, my bad....
wont do that again with an app.
and cant figure out to downgrade

**grooves12** · 05-06-2009, 02:14 PM

If you want to downgrade and you did an OS reinstall you probably have a backup of the software that was automatically created by DM when you upgraded.

Use the apploader to reinstall the application from one of your backups.

Please read the Vlingo blog that I posted the link for. It answers freqently asked questions in the comments for the blog, and also gives you the email address that you can send your request to downgrade to.

That is why I posted the link for the blog, too... so people could read up on it first.

**Morf32** · 05-06-2009, 03:18 PM

For those who had Vlingo before, upgraded, and now want to downgrade, this is straight from the comment section of the blog that I posted the link to:

"@Anonymous yes, please fill out this form and indicate you want to move back to Vlingo 2.0. Note: this is only available for original 2.0 users only.

VLingo's voice recognition is, in my opinion, poor at best. By the time you are done correcting what it recognizes incorrectly, it's faster to just type it out.

Frankly I'd prefer (and pay for) a program that reads aloud received text message and emails.

I'm with you on that one! I spent more time correcting mistakes and I could have typed it out faster.

The 2.0 version crashed my storm. When I tried to use it. I tried to reinstall it several different times, played with the settings.. and the results were the same. It crashed... the new version works very well on my store and as yet not crash. My storm.. I have a voice recognition program on my laptop and the accuracy is sitting around 93% you do have to pay attention. Sometimes wrong words to come up, and they are those Floyding moment too.... the software on the phone isn't quite as good. But nevertheless, you do have to pay attention. Or you may have some embarrassing moments later

the $18 is a nonissue. At least for me and I have big hands and the touchscreen keypad sometimes requires me to stop what I'm doing and pay close attention to what I'm typing. So I don't make mistake between the two same amount of time to type. Or do the voice recognition... this phone is just a big toy to me. So I don't take it seriously. I think the upside of this particular piece of software is that there's no one typing what you say.. at another location so there's a certain degree of privacy.. as to what you say... and yes they do collect information. But you decline if you wish..

**nightfishing** · 05-06-2009, 08:31 PM

Any try out the Bt support?

$20 would be worth it (for me) to add BT, if it "works"

**OneOfaKindDPC** · 05-06-2009, 09:52 PM

Anyone who's downloaded the 3.0, whats the size of the app?

**duck383** · 05-06-2009, 10:39 PM

its over 1m (ouch)

**jakeh0** · 05-07-2009, 01:37 AM

more overpriced 3rd party blackberry app bull****

no surprise

**Big Kiwini** · 05-07-2009, 04:57 PM

I have vlingo 2.0 and I can send text to anyone. I don't understand their breakdown between the two versions. Just my 2 cents

**stormwrx** · 05-07-2009, 11:13 PM

3.0 works better for me than any previous version. Though $18 may be a little much ($10 would be fair), this is an extremely useful program and worth it IMO. If moving away from a free app allows them to invest more time and improve the app even more, then I'm okay with that. Vlingo has come a long way and has even more potential.

and that's why i will be sticking with ver 2.0

**Breezer23** · 05-10-2009, 03:16 AM

Version 2.0 was unusable for me. I loved the idea so I tried out the basic version. I ended up purchasing it through handango. However, it said if I did not have an existing account with them one would be created with my purchase. WELL nothing ever happened. I put my information in and the program became activated. This is fine and dandy but then I upgraded my OS and have no way of activating the product.

I'm pretty PO'd and the customer service has not been all that great.
