Well, this blew up. Hopefully it gets someone at Apple to pay attention.

I've been using Apple products for over 20 years. They make incredible hardware, and I genuinely love the ecosystem.

But Siri has been plagued by issues for as long as I can remember.

And the HomePod, where Siri is the primary way you interact with the device, is embarrassingly bad.

We're talking about a device from one of the most valuable technology companies in the world that can't reliably handle something as basic as setting a timer.

That's not a minor bug. It's a fundamental failure of the experience.

As some have suggested I tried to do a full reset. Now the unit is stuck on downloading support for Siri. I don’t know if it’s just my unit, but it’s been stuck downloading support for Siri for a while now. And this didn’t come up before. It’s pretty obvious to me that there are major issues with software here.

Here is the best review for HomeView for y’all.

This thing is a joke. Siri is a joke. @johnternus how is this a great product?

First request on HomeView:

"Hey Siri, set an alarm for 2PM".

Siri responds: I am sorry I can't set alarms on this device.

What the actual f*ck?

🤣
