I have one of the gen one and wanted to love it. But so many things just weren't right.

Doesn't show my Google calendar reminders

Getting it to play a morning routine failed, and when it worked the volume levels were all over the place - sometimes the news it played me would be super loud, sometimes I couldn't here the radio or music it played next.

It can't play a youtube video

It didn't have loads of basic controls when listening to podcasts (speed, skip back 30 seconds etc)

Can't display a custom home screen, I'd love to see more weather detail, or a tide chart, or local traffic news.

As I say, really wanted to like it, but never found a use for it yet.
