Ratings and reviews

Unfortunately the updates have made the app less useful to me. I need Kindle Assisted reading so can't use Alexa+, and the devices have been intentionally "dumbed down" to persuade me to upgrade. I can no longer access my extensive Audible and Kindle libraries from the menu. The devices are now intruding on conversations and phone calls without the "wake word." Even worse, when a character has the name "Alexa" or "Ziggy," any narrator's voice activates the devices in the middle of my audiobooks!

Will not show any recently played song that was not specifically requested. So if you request a song and want to find the name of the next one played, you better interrupt the music to ask while its playing or you wont be able to find it. This is a basic feature that even free music players have, yet AMAZON of all places is too greedy to provide it. I chatted with support and had to have a phone call (as a hard of hearing person, this was also awful) and STILL nobody could actually help.

Unable to access the menu since the last update. Before the last update, many times when I opened the app it would be blank, not show the home screen, but the three lines for menu would show so I could get to where I needed to go. Now, after this last update, everything is gone, its blank except for a search bubble. I literally cannot access any menu. Its hit and miss if it will show home when I open the app, and if it doesnt then I cannot access any of the menu items. Extremely frustrating.
