The digital assistant that arrived back in January with the high-end U Ultra and U Play handsets by HTC is now freely available for other Android devices via the Google Play store.
HTC unveiled the Sense Companion digital assistant back in January when this app was shown on the U Ultra and U Play handsets. Now, users of other Android handsets can also enjoy the benefits of this AI-driven app without having to purchase one of the new HTC U smartphones, since HTC Sense Companion has just been posted on Google Play.
Although it was expected to support voice interaction, HTC Sense Companion is not capable of doing that for now. Its list of features includes the ability to provide a weekly step count report, restaurant recommendations based on the user's location, info cards with reminders, and so on.
HTC Sense Companion arrived on Google Play yesterday and less than 500 users installed it so far. Strange enough, the Google Play page does not reveal a minimum Android version requirement, only saying that it "Varies with device" for now. However, the app has a five-star rating, since 66 out of those 68 users who rated it decided that HTC Sense Companion is a five-star app.
Codrut Nistor - Senior Tech Writer - 5837 articles published on Notebookcheck since 2013
In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years. I've been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.
