Needs more Intergration with Office Mobile Apps. (Microsoft, please take notes...) – Cortana Review

I use Cortana everyday on Windows 10, I am fully aware of the capabilities she has on Windows 10 She can quickly send emails and check the latest emails from my inbox; with a simple voice commands. Comparing to the smartphone apps on Android and iPhone, features that seemed like a no-brainer for the desktop are underdeveloped and lacking on the mobile apps. Cortana has a vast array of skills on capabilities Windows 10, and so far compared to Siri; she is far ahead of Apples own personal assistant game. I am glad Microsoft is listening to customer feedback and can't wait to see how they will continue to improve the cortana app in the future. However, their seems to be some features Cortana lacks on the mobile platform, related to email,and calendar. Cortana can't seem to do anything on the mobile app; that I've come to expect coming from Windows 10. Reading emails from Outlook 2016, my reminders, or tasks. So the app right now honestly, feels a bit underwhelming compared to the PC. Cortana ought to be able to read emails, or send emails from Email apps, like Apple Mail or the Outlook mobile app. If Microsoft wants to keep Windows users on their "ecosystem" it would certainly make the experience more streamlined. What I'm suggesting is that Microsoft ought to grant Cortana permission to access the Outlook "mobile app", contacts, Calander. On the same note; An ability to intergrate the Outlook's Calander and not the standard Apple mobile app's "Calander" would be much more preferred. Microsoft could develop an ability, for the mobile "Outlook" app; to connect to the Cortana app directly for better usability and synchronization of calendar events, and replying or sending emails from Cortana without needing to jump to Outlook or Apple Mail. Reading my latest emails, dictating emails straight from Cortana on iPhone are features I would much appreciate. This would be just another reason I wouldn't have to used Siri anymore. I find voice recognition and dictation on "Cortana" is more accurate than Siri. Microsoft, please add these capabilities to Cortana, *specifically*: sending emails from "Cortana" straight to Outlook/ or Apple Mail. I already use voice dictation via Cortana on Windows 10 *everyday*. Being able to quickly dictate an email to a short email to a frequent contact is a huge time saver. Lastly, for iOS iMessaging. Rather than dictating a message, and showing a preview ; which then redirects you to your conversation on iMessage; why not just allow Cortana to send it from the app directly? - Oh and when can we get the "Hey Cortana" option? I hope Microsoft takes our comments and feedback and incorporates them in fitted releases. If they want to innovative, and stay ahead of the smartphone assistant game; I'm sure they'll keep improving.
