I use Siri a fair amount from the Phone (mainly in the car or kitchen to be honest).
Going through those:
- Cooking & laundry timers - Yes. Works well
- Reminders (remind me to do X when I get home) - I find Apple geofenced alerts to be unreliable.
- Directions (Take me to the nearest X, take me home, etc) - Pretty good, search isn't as good as Google, but good enough these days.
- Checking hours of business (what time does X close today) - Never tried, doubt it would work.
- Initiating phone calls (Call X) - Yes - Works well
- Checking weather (is it going to snow today? How cold is it right now?) - Yes, works well
- Conversions (what's X ounces to ml) - Never tried. Just tried now - works OK
- Quick stock checks (what's X stock price) - As above works OK, says whether there has been a fall or rise.
- Playing music around the house (play X on the kitchen speakers)- works very well.
- Woofles 9y agoChecking hours of the business works well. The integration with Yelp has that done pretty well. I've actually been super impressed with Siri. You can have it call you an uber, get the leading scorer from your favorite hockey team, contextually ask followup questions about a person you were searching, etc. I haven't used Siri in a long time (besides timers, weather, etc) and it has come so far since I did.
