Jarvis: Powered by Marvel 4+

I used to have this really great Marvel Wiki app that I could look up a character and see his/her stats, powers, abilities, weapons used, and get a full bio and background. All of a sudden it doesn’t work and doesn’t even show in the App Store. When I saw “Jarvis” I read others reviews and while it sounded like it was cool, I really can’t comment on that. However, as a marvel encyclopedia it looked like it would be great. Until you actually search for a character. You get a small two sentence description of the character and then there are “links” at the bottom of the page for the powers and in comics bios and such. THEY DON’T EVEN WORK!!! I found ONE character where the links worked! ONE!!!

I used to use this app back in the day when it was actually a virtual assistant. It was neat because i could check the weather, ask it questions and receive answers, and check the time. It was almost like Siri, not entirely but pretty close. Now it makes me sad to return to the app finding that it had be obliterated in every way and rebuilt from scratch into a hero database (which i already have access to at all times called google) and was in no way a virtual assistant anymore. It sad that its still called Jarvis as if it still has some of the features of old, at this rate you might as well have created an entirely separate app and titled it superhero search engine or something rather than releasing an awful update that destroyed the original (fun and useful) functionality of this app completely. Disappointed to see Jarvis get killed off and replaced this way when it had great potential.

I originally downloaded this app when iron man 3 hit theaters and loved it. I loved being able to set an alarm and have Jarvis wake me up and tell me the weather and what events I had going on that day. I was saddened when the app quit working due to the new iOS update. I never deleted the app in hopes of it being updated one day with the movies still going strong. Today I see it was updated and got excited to open the app and hear Jarvis or vision as he is now welcome me and when I saw what marvel hero do you want to learn about, I was ticked. I still am. This app has nothing to do with Jarvis. It’s just a marvel hero/villain database that we already have access to via the worldwide web we all carry in our pockets. Everything about every marvel hero and villain just a quick google search away. This app is useless and has nothing to do with Jarvis and I would argue that it’s even false advertising to title it as Jarvis.
