Works about half the time, or less. When I open the app, most the time the screen is mostly blank except on the bottom it will show the home, light and three bars. I used to be able to select the 3 bars and get to the menu when this happened, but lately that isn't even working. So today I'm uninstalling and reinstalling to see if that will fit it, but I feel its going to keep happening.

Alexa sucks. My wife has one in our kitchen and it takes several tries for it to recognize her voice EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Even when it recognizes her voice, the odds that you get the right song are maybe 1 in 3. It's also unnecessarily difficult to turn off Amazon Music, which is contantly trying to sell you a pro plan. I can't wait to throw this stupid thing in the e-waste pile.

Used to work perfectly and control everything I needed it to, but ever since the Alexa+ update, nothing works. Tells me it can't help me with basic things like telling the time, none of the skills work, never does my routines, won't play spotify, and takes at least 30 seconds just to turn the lights on and off if it turns them on and off at all. The update has basically turned my pop into an ugly paperweight.

This app has always been so buggy ever since I got it, but with every update, it's been more and more buggy. It randomly disconnected my Spotify account from it and won't let me reconnect it. It either says "Oops, something went wrong, try again later!" or "This skill doesn't exist anymore", which is really frustrating because I use Spotify quite often, and it sucks that I can't link it anymore for whatever reason. Two stars because I can at least still use the alarms.

Unfortunately the updates have made the app less useful to me. I can no longer see my extensive Audible library under "See all" to select the title I want the echo devices to read. Chapter headings, which used to be accessible from a hamburger menu, have disappeared. And 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!

I paid good money for these devices and they don't do what I want them to do. When my alarm goes off in the morning, the sound comes in real gently, as I had it set. Then, when I hit (9-minute) Snooze, it waits about 5 seconds and blares the sound at me, forcing me to hit Snooze again. Nine minutes later, the same thing happens when I hit Stop. Also, I have turned off all home screen content but it still keeps showing me ads. It's aggravating. Often it can't find music that's in my library.
