I have yet to see a more worthless peace of garbage software than Siri. I use it to text or call my wife while driving and it will work only about 50% of the time. I can’t use it for anything else. It can’t even play my playlists from the Music app. Also if I dictate longer messages, it will randomly stop listening in the middle and start reading back the partial message to me. What a terrible experience. I really don’t know how a 4 trillion dollar company can dish out this hot pile of crap for so many years.

I hope I can finally ask Siri to direct me to one of my contacts' address and actually find it. Siri basically can only make timers fwiw.
