Hi guys. I will first admit, (full disclosure), that I am somewhat heavily invested in Google apps. I am an avid user of Google Now cards and Google Inbox and Maps to name a few. I also dabble in Cortana use as a personal assistant of sorts. SO.....when I made the leap to my new iPhone 6S Plus and iOS I came in with eyes wide open and was SHOCKED, SHOCKED I tell you to discover just how AWFUL Siri is. Period. Full Stop.
The most simple request for information about a US Post office less than 5 miles away from my home sent Siri into fits of incredible inaccuracies, not to mention that unless I woke up speaking with a sub saharan dialect, Siri can't understand simple english. It was just AWFUL. The pitiful performance only alarmed me all the more so when you compare it to Google Now voice commands. Its. Not. Even. Close. Any and all questions asked of google were correctly understood and the search results were accurate and pertinent to my query.
So. Feedback? What am I missing here? Is is possible that Apple just doesn't come close to the mighty Google contextual machine in the cloud?
What do you think?
One thing is certain...I turned Siri OFF and happily keep my Google Now app on deck whenever I need it.
