Am I being a total tool?

Trying to install an app using Bixby.

Tried 'Hi Bixby, Open Play Store and install XXX'

Also tried 'Hi Bixby, Open Play Store and install app XXX'

AND 'Hi Bixby, Open Play Store and download XXX'

Which is what the settings say it should do.

Each time, she opens playstore, finds the app and says to me 'you can select which one you want from the screen.'

I realise this is the height of laziness.. but shouldn't it install the app? Making me then use my finger negates the point of a voice assistant, surely?

FYI, the apps are not obscure or ones that have loads of similar names. And I've tried it with several apps.

Am i doing something wrong?

Thanks

Not really the height of laziness. Bixby's intended purpose is to allow those that don't have the use of sight or hands to use the device too. Samsung would welcome the feedback.
