Because when my OS was 4.3 (a long time ago) I did not have any sound clipping problems with amAzeGPS, Nav4All and others. However, I needed to upgrade my OS because of other problems. When I upgraded to 4.5 those other problems disappeared, but the sound clipping problems suddenly materialized. Even when I updated my GPS applications to the latest, 4.5-aware versions I still experienced the sound getting cut off at the end. Garmin, though, does not and never did exhibit this, even with the 4.5 OS. I cannot switch to Garmin, however, because the 7-day trial is over, and Garmin remembers if you tried their trial offer (so one cannot participate in the trial, allow it to lapse then just download and reinstall the application). Also, it isn't free.
My hunch is that the free ones are using the OS API to provide voice commands, whereas those that aren't free code their own voice subroutines.
