I am dealing with this right now.
iOS has a feature called "Focus." Focus enables you to create different views of your home and lock screens and silence/allow calls and notifications.
iOS also has a basic automation framework called "Shortcuts" that lets you build workflows that trigger based on a variety of conditions.
two of these conditions is being able to trigger a shortcut when you start or end a workout on Apple Watch or when you start a drive.
These shortcuts fire maybe 30% of the time. When it doesn't work, it doesn't tell you anything about why it failed to trigger.
Every time this happens, I want to trade all of my Apple shit for Android and Windows kit. I almost did that today, even.
I would rather use software that doesn't have features than use software that does...but they don't work.
- cyclotron3k 3y agoThat's infuriating. But I'm saddened to tell you things are not much better in the world of Android. I frequently use timers to make sure I don't overcook the spaghetti or beans ("Ok Google, set a timer for X minutes"), and it works about 80% of the time, only to betray you with direst consequence. And it's not that it's just not hearing me; it'll register the instruction and show confirmation on the screen, but then no timer actually starts.
- nunez 3y agooh wow. Timers not going off is a big deal. I experience many issues with iOS, but timers not firing is not one of them.
