Ratings and reviews

Every once in awhile you install an app that is near perfect. This one is. I can control devices from Tasker for cryin out loud! Three caveats: 1) This app shows up as a device in Alexa, noted as unresponsive. So I deregistered it and had to reinstall this app. Don't do that! 2) To manually turn things on & off, I launch this app. This app should start in select only mode, with a menu pick to enter edit mode. 3) The widgets are ugly. But I don't need them so I don't care 😀

I really like the app and while you still have to pay for the full version to really test its functionality, it absolutely works....until you have to re-login to Amazon. Which happens literally every day. I created multiple widgets to turn smartplugs on and off and they ONLY work after I redo the Amazon login via the settings. Then they work perfectly. But having to go through that process every time is ridiculous and renders it virtually useless.

Makes what should be easy actually possible. Now I've got a tablet with a full page plus of the most common Alexa tasks to click on. I especially like that you can chain 2 or more routines together in a single button. That makes life a lot easier. Gripes, and I did find things to moan about, but nothing major. 1. It can be casual in its performance. Nothing horrible, but it is noticable at times. On the other hand, it makes things happen at a human speed. All in all this is solid.
