Ratings and reviews

I have one plus 5T. I could only find the companion app on play store. Installed the app. But before I could even enter the user name and password for my Amazon account it says disconnected. And stays there. Can you please help? The star is just a placeholder. Please don't consider it as the final judgement. Edit : Unable to make it to use. The instruction video does not help.

Update: Downgrade to 1 star. Paying for the app ($6 - which is probably more than usual) that the annoying ads would be removed. --------------- Hi DiF, I purchased this app, why am I still receiving the ads and the notifications? I would like a refund if I am still getting the ads as well as that notification message.

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.
