What makes me sad about Siri on the iPhone is that it would be such a boon if I was able to use it with actually good apps and if I didn't feel like a second-class citizen for having an iPhone outside the US.
I'm forced to use the buggy Reminders app, because Siri only supports creating reminders with Reminders.
Apple refuses to support anything else than Apple Music, which means I can't use Siri for music. (Yet, when the 4S was released, it only took weeks until I could control Spotify with Siri using jailbreak).
I can't use Siri for navigation either in any form ("Hey Siri, when does the next train leave from here?"), because Apple has never provided public transit or good navigation in Sweden, nor announced a timeline on what year that might happen – and of course, Google Maps can't use Siri. And even if it could, Siri does not gracefully support foreign words such as addresses.
I could easily love Siri if Apple would stop gimping it by tying it to other subpar products.
- whywhywhywhy 9y ago> Apple refuses to support anything else than Apple Music I was pretty appalled when I installed the first version of OS X with Siri and then the first thing I did was ask it to play a song from my iTunes Matched iTunes library and it had no idea what I was talking about because the artist (Kanye) wasn't on Apple Music. My iPhone 4S I was using at the time could do this feat just fine but the so called latest and greatest can't manage it because Apple wants to force Apple Music on me. I disabled Siri a few moments after this.

- thestephen 9y agoThat is good to know, and I've considered switching to Things for a while. This makes it easier. Thank you!
