I use mine mostly for just listening to music or finding out the forecast. So, thanks for all these ideas!

Well, now, you have to feel much better after that extended gripe session. You’ve got it pretty bad, with so many conveniences in your life. Hope things improve, and you’re not leaving sour comments anymore. 😉 Too funny.

I bought my Dad and stepmom one for Christmas this year and the first thing he asked was “can I change the name to ‘stepmother’? That way she’ll actually do what I ask her to!”

Why didn’t you get the Google Assistant?

There are tons of apps for children and Alexa will also spell any word that you ask her to spell, as well as find synonyms and antinyms for words. She can play hot potato with your children. And, I love the hands free calling and messaging. She will even sing you happy birthday.

I want to give one to my Mom because she’s losing her sight and I think and echo might help her. Can I loads the apps I think she could use like news , trivia using my phone apps then give it to her? My mom doesn’t have a phone because of her vision plus if the family adds the apps or the device she could use her echo. My Mom doesn’t have a computer either but her complex has wi-fi. Can someone help me help my 97 yr old mother. Thank you

Ill take your device if you don’t like it!! I am a cop with a family that can’t afford that kind of stuff but would love to have it for the enjoyment of my family!!
And being a cop I respect your right to speak out about how you feel about the device. Long live freedom of speech. However that freedom mostly results in other peoples freedom to talk down about you. Got to love America.
