Ratings and reviews

It works fine when you want it to work. Unfortunately it also interrupts when you don't need it. It tries to "help" anytime it hears a keyword, and there are apparently random noises that it thinks are close enough. If the tv is on Alexa will be all excited to help. Crowd noise, same thing. I'll turn it off until I hear it's been improved.

The most sluggish app on my phone - from a company selling high tech. Whoever did the last redesign must hate music. The music controls used to be one of the five buttons at the bottom of the home screen. Now there are only three and "Play" was shunted to a sub-menu. Thank you Amazon for assuming that this feature was unimportant to me and others. Wish the home screen was more customizable to add individual elements I use most, like music & activating routines, instead of irrelevant suggestions.

Think of the user, not what new feature you're trying to show off. 1: why is text entry the default instead of voice? And there's no setting to change this. Idiots! Now, when I'm driving, I have to find and click that small microphone button, taking my eyes off the road. 2: So many times I use a frequent voice command and it tries to do something different. Implement a user specific frequent command list. Compare the new voice command to frequent list before doing something new.
