Does this app work without service/WiFi?

Can't wait until Android available

The parents are starting to get hard if hearing and I've been looking for something that will help them communicate better. Switchboard is looking like it is very close to totally fitting the bill. Access to the earbud mic will really be needed for sound quality. And unfortunately, right now, setting up 'enable voice' commands isn't working. The reason I hope you can get Android set up.... The Peeps don't have iPhones. That said, it's a super app!
