Oh, and have I mentioned lately that the Alexa app is rather flaky? It is! It tends to leave the What's Playing screen very often. Not sure why it doesn't want to stay on that screen like it is supposed to. It is also rather slow to open up on my Fire HD 6. It is a bit less flaky on my iPhone 6 Plus, and faster of course, but that is because the iPhone 6 Plus has much better specs than the Fire tablets.

Alexa on my FireTV seems really stable though. I've not had any issues with it, but I don't use it much. It does not require an Echo, Tap, or Dot. I assume the Alexa feature on newer Fire tablets is supposed to be more like the FireTV and operate stand alone, but apparently that does not work in the UK.
