This app does exactly what I was looking for. I had a previous way of getting buttons/ widgets on my phone but it stopped working. I was afraid I would not be able to get another similar app/service since different smart home devices and manufacturers don't work well together. This app delivers where everything else lacks. With the Simple Commands service I am able to get automation done that even Alexa can't do on its own. I highly recommend this app. Pay for it you won't regret it!!!!

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.

free version didn't work so I took the leap paid for pro £3.09 I had initial start up problems so I emailed the contact the response was very quick and with a re install and re log on and a phone re start & hey presto it's working very well doing exactly what I wanted buttons for routines on alexa so I can quickly put a diesel heater on in my house before I get home or switch to bluetooth on my stereo and get alexa to link to it not a word said or simply put a lamp on all from the home screen
