You know, one of the very simplest things that Siri always gets right is opening an app when I Hasket too. Google doesn't. More often than not on my android device, when I ask Google to open an app I get a stupid screen I have to then tap on the instructions it says open this app. Google is really smart about a lot of things, so why can't it yet opening apps right?
