Ratings and reviews

I got the apps installed on both my phone and my watch. Even tho it says disconnected on the phone, it still works. I've asked it many questions on a variety of topics and I've gotten the correct responses. So far my only issue with it is when I change the settings on the phone app from watch only to phone only to both, I get no changes. The audio comes through both the phone and the watch despite the setting. It's still pretty cool though. I hope it continues to work. This is an update.

App seems to work well. I was curious if this work and it did perfectly this morning. So the problem is this. If I tell the watch to turn off and on lights. it works 100% all the time. If I ask it a question , it isn't 100% she's going to response vocally ? Why is this ? It clearly controls smart items around the house without fail, but if I ask the time, it's not 100% Alexa is going to tell me the time and this is confusing me. What is the issue here ?

Downloaded on watch and phone on 2/17/19. Asked Alexa to play a song by an 80's rock group on my Galaxy Watch and a Bible audiobook played a sample on my phone. I applaud and appreciate the effort, but without the full backing of Amazon, this app isn't useful. Thank you for your effort, but it just doesn't work like an Amazon device should.
