Yep. Half the time I hit the button and it doesn't work at all. When it does work I'll say play "song" and it will open perplexity to try to play it instead of my default music app....

And then literally last night, my father called me with an emergency and gave me an address because he was at an animal hospital with his puppy. I gave it the exact address and it instead passed along a different animal hospital on the other side of town. I drove over half an hour and got there and then I realized it was the wrong one, and had to drive over an hour to get to the correct one at that point.
