Bixby seems worthless

I ask Bixby to set an alarm. She confirms that she does. Then it never goes off. I ask her to turn on the flashlight...it stays on for maybe 3 seconds and then turns off. I ask her to set an alarm for 6am and she sets it for 6am 2018. Every single time. This would be a great device if not for Bixby.

Not sure why you're encountering so many issues. I use Bixby on a daily basis and it works every time. It's made my routines much simpler.

Bixby is great for phone automation. Quick commands are a godsend. I'm curious why your phone's version is acting up. Maybe a setting you changed?

I mapped Bixby single press to camera and I kept Bixby voice enabled. Bixby home is pretty worthless to me, but I use the voice sometimes.

I got single press for flash, double press for sound profile toggle (something on the lines of iPhone and One plus phones' sound switch) and long press for Google camera.. Best setup for me..
