Siri is unusable except for the following:
- open an app. (Say Apple Podcasts, otherwise it'll open deezer)
- call a contact (but randomly replaces your most frequently called person with someone I've spoken 10+ years ago)
- set a timer
- set an alarm
that's really it. Reminders work like shit, exactly like you said.
If siri doesn't know what to do with a contact, it asks you what you wanna do, and then doesn't understand it. I turn all this crap off as much as I can. Just a bunch of wasted dev-time, battery-time, and chip/die realestate which could be used for anything else.
