Bixby anyone?

[S786]

Is anyone actually using bixby? Has it become any more usable than it used to be?

[Sean03]

Bixby Routines yes, best ITTT app that exists today.

Bixby Voice no. I gave it another chance recently late last year on my smart monitor because it seemed like you could automate far more with Bixby than other voice assistants. But poor speech recognition still means its time wasted, not to mention the poor synthetic speech from the Bixby voice actors themselves which, while that doesn't really have an influence on functionality, still doesn’t hold a candle to the much more approachable voices at Alexa.

I haven't used Bixby for such a long time now.
Just never really got on with it

[GoanGeek]

Never used it. Google rocks my boat.
I have heard good things about bixby routines but don't feel the need for it.

Google works best for me.

[S786]

Same. I was actually thinking to give it another go.

[Mark29359]

I don't use it at all and wish I could remove it from my phone along with other things I don't use.

I periodically use Bixby  Voice and usually fine for me , howver know mixed view on it.

Hidden secrets. I discovered today goodlock routines and bixby routines and smart things.
The combination makes for a very powerful tool.
With goodlock routines, you can assign the side key to any app. Eg Google assistant or a Scene to activate lights etc.
Goodlock routines allow you to run a "touch macro" to open an app and simulate key presses.
Eg open youtube music, library, album. That can be activated with a keyless from a shortcut or when a scene trigger is met.

When I place my phone on the bedside wireless charger, it automatically puts it into do not disturb, activates the night clock, turns off the light, and heating.
Taken off the stand, activate daytime settings, etc.
Bixby voice isn't very good, but some of the commands are.

Yes bixby routines and goodlock are amazing!
