Cons
Con ivee Voice hasn't been released yet
The ivee Voice hardware will be available in June, but reviewers and customers haven't gotten their hands on a Voice unit yet and there are no in-depth reviews about the hardware and ivee services for now.
Con ivee hasn't received much support from third-party developers
Although ivee offers a fully open API, most third-party developers haven't integrated their apps with the voice assistant (yet). This will probably constantly improve, but for now third-party support is minimal. For example, support for major music streaming services such as Pandora and TuneIn is absent. Luckily, some major apps such as Spotify and Uber are already compatible with ivee.
