Why is Siri still so terrible?

Even after the "improvements" Apple promised to bring to Siri with iOS 8, she still consistently fails to deliver. Google Now has it right. I ask a question, I get an answer. I don't even have to read it most of the time since it is read to me. Siri will try to text a friend rather than even show web results. It's not even that she doesn't understand my voice, she just doesnt understand the text. I don't get it. I pay premium prices for Apple tech. It should work. Why has Apple just let this God awful piece of work pass?

iPhone 6, iOS 8.0.2

Most of the time many users will have the same problem and can offer solutions or personal fixes. I obviously knew that this is not Apple as I referred to them as Apple. If I was addressing them I would have said you. People like you who bash others on the forums are what make it an unpleasant experience. You're the ignorant one here. The unhelpful response was appreciated.

Rude and unhelpful.. Siri is awful

I rarely have trouble with Siri, except when the network connection is bad. And one can hardly blame that on Siri.


But do you have an actual technical support question? Or did you just register for this forum so you could dredge up this thread that had been dormant for almost a year because......, well, I can't think of a good reason.

@Meg St._Clair you didn't read or understand my response either. I was talking to the rude response of gdgmacguy, It is listed in the label of the response I made.

No, I completely understood the fact that you were dredging up a year old thread. I completely understand that it was, to you, ok for the OP to rant but not for gdgmacguy to call someone on being rude (even though it was okay for you to do that).


And, I still generally find Siri works better for me than Google Now. Yes, I also haven an Android phone.
