What do you do in order to ask Seri to open an app. Do you have to somehow open
Seri?

Hi Brendan
I use Siri to dictate text messages, though I can use the touch-screen
keyboard as well. I also use it to launch the apps on my iPhone. For
example, I will say: "Launch App Store", or "Launch Sky Sports". When
dictating text messages, I speak reasonably slowly and precisely so Siri
generally gets accurately what I want to say. The Dictate button is fairly
easy to find. You do a double tap with one finger to start, and wait for
the beep. Once you have dictated your message, finish by performing a
two-finger double tap. Make sure your fingers are apart slightly so that
Siri knows you are indicating the finish of dictation. Wherever there is a
search field in your app, there should be a Dictation button for you to use
Siri.
I also ask Siri questions like: "Today's football fixtures", and "Will I
need an umbrella today"? I do like it, and I think it can only get better
if they work on it at Apple. When I first played with it, I wondered if it
would be rather gimmicky, but I actually use it every day. And, to be fair,
the more I have used it, the more proficient I have become.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

Hi Jackie
Would it be possible for you to provide a mini tutorial by way of examples
for SIRI please? I know she is there but really have not used the facility.
