Con News suggestions aren't personalized
Instead of showing news suggestions tailored specifically to you based on things like search history, Siri shows only news that are trending in your area.
Con Windows only
No Linux, OSX or mobile versions are available.
Con Free version comes with limited functionality
The free version does not include the most exciting Braiana features, like speech-to-text, custom commands, a "self-learning brain" and so on. That´s why I unfortunately didn´t click the download button this time.
