Is Bixby really that bad?

I think Bixby it's a good app, but we're not used to use it. If we could give it a time enough to fine tune it, Bixby could work incredibly fine. I'm using it to turn different option on when i wake up in the morning and turn all that off before go to bed using just a command voice each time.

I think is pretty cool!

Is your Bixby button dead or are there apps still available to program it?

I've pretty much disabled Bixby since beginning too because it was starting to annoy me the accidental touches and the idea of being forced with the button. I mentioned before, but I did keep the "walkie-talkie" style long press enabled for Bixby and use it to do little things like "set display brightness to 50%" or "open calendar" and you can do things like "close all apps" if you want with local apps. Don't have to say "Hey Bixby" either when you long press, just give it the command.

Everything else I go to OK Google because it just works so good.

I've never used Bixby and have had it disabled from day one on my Note 8 and S9+. When I owned a S8+, it was also disabled on it and it was the first phone to have it.

I just have the button dead so nothing happens if I press it. When I first got the phone, I was always hitting that button instead of the volume buttons. You can assign the button to something else as I'm sure you know, I just haven't done that.

I love Bixby. I am not a really technology oriented phone user. So sometimes it is very hard for me to find various settings to change things as some seem to be buried so deeply in the system. Bixby finds anything I ask for and it is great for someone like me. It is quick and does 99% of what I have ever asked.
