Pretty much the reason I uninstalled. I have access to sbsettings from lockscreen which is much faster in my opinion.
Got a tip for us?

are you giving correct commands IE enable or disable wifi launch Safari etc. Wouldn't open infinity blade 2 for some reason not sure why.. no big deal.
I don't even think you need to set anything, at least I don't remember setting anything. Just swipe from left to right across the status bar at the top and the SBSettings will drop down.
Going to describe an issue with SiriToggles and Hands-Free I'm having since we are flipping between the two. The app (HFC) was working well enough for me. While playing music, it would work if I was right on the mic, but the developer says any music playing should disable the listening so no worries. The toggles work ok, Siri had some difficulty understanding me sometimes. No volume adjustment I noticed. Would like something like brightness.
In HFC, when sounds/vibrations on, when unmuting through the switch, I'd get a weird beeping noise I've never heard before. Disabling sounds/vibrations stopped it but then I lose other sounds like dialpad. Rather weird. And I rebooted my phone because I disabled HFC and reenabled and now I have a no service message. Also getting safe mode at every reboot. just uninstalled both and guess will go about resetting my settings to try and fix that error. It's good at the moment but I'll give the apps some more time to work out the kinks and add some more features.

I like SiriToggles, and it seems that copycats like it too. (See repository. 
) But I can't help my OCD kicking in when seeing it's replies. No punctuation? Regardless, it could use some more functionality, such as restarting the springboard, giving the current local IP address, tweeting(?) and more. I hope the developer thinks about this, it would make it a perfect plugin.

Same with me.
I honestly don't know when I'd use it anyway. I'd sooner toggle it then activate Siri and tell her to do it.
Nice thought but poor execution. I say "Launch App, Pandora." and get back "Sorry, I can't find that app."
SBSettings is easier for me to adjust things on the fly. I was really hoping the launch apps part would work since I leave my iPhone in my pocket while driving and use bluetooth to control Pandora and activate Siri.

For me, this was because my phone wasn't unlocked. Even with no passcode on, it told me it couldn't find Spotify. When I opened my phone, it did it perfectly. Unless there's a setting you can change, they need to fix that. If I don't even have a passcode on, it should be able to open it.

Just say "launch pandora" the extra "app" word is unneeded
+5 internets for you! Works perfectly. I wonder why the description said to use "Launch App ...."?
My college email forces me to set a passcode. I have it set to an hour because I don't really want it anyway. Is there a way around this? A cydia app or tweak so I don't have to set a passcode?
Hands-Free Control
I installed it last night, obviously had it running today. I did nothing more than I normally would have, just instead of holding the home button, I just said Siri (which is actually way more convenient and just fun! It was just really cool for me every time I did it) so anyways, there was definitely a battery drain for me. I usually go from 100% 7am-4pm and get home about 60%-75%. Today (on the "very strict" setting if that matters) I got home with 40%. I haven't decided if I can live with that, because when I get home I can just plug it in if needed the rest of the night. But if I'm gonna be out all day, I definitely couldn't have it.

Not much to say about this. haha. It works just as described and opening apps works fine for me from locked or unlocked. The ONLY problem I've encountered: I guess it can only open apps that you say the exact name of that is on the homescreen. (IE Words with friends, just say "open/launch Words"). so when I say "open Tweetbot" Siri picks it up as "tweet bot" and won't open it. Same goes for "open color splash" (homescreen name is ColorSplash)

i tried something similar. instead, i asked siri to 'restart phone'. her response, 'call restart internet addiction recovery program?'
