Hi Robin, no, Siri integration with media apps is not supported in this release 
of iOS sadly.

Can Siri now integrate with Downcast or Audible?

2016-09-16 Thread Robin Christopherson 
Dear listers

With iOS10 Siri is now able to work with VOIP apps (e.g. make Skype calls) and 
make payments and book a table etc. Several categories of app are covered. As 
far as I’m aware this includes media apps and I’ve tried various ways of asking 
Siri to play a podcast in Downcast or a book in Audible to no avail. Any ideas 
what I’m doing wrong?

For info the new section on the today screen called ‘Siri app suggestions’ 
includes Downcast. I’ve  no idea if this list is only those apps which now work 
with Siri or just commonly used apps. They do all seem to fall into the newly 
supported categories.

Thanks, Robin
