mikejuk writes "Evi, a new rival to Siri, Apple's voice-driven personal assistant, has made its debut on both the iPhone and Android. And people are so keen to that Evi's servers are overloaded — so be prepared for a wait for answers." The app costs 99 cents for iOS users, but it's free on Android.

Don't disappoint your bird dog. Go to the range.

FTFY properly
"Hold your phone to the screen and play the Youtube video to install our great new anti-virus app..."
The apostrophe indicates the omission of " message", i.e. "text's" is short for "text messages".
