I have v9.6.0 (updated Apr 20) and the release notes refer to 'Alexa's fun skills', and even before this update there were people using it and reporting in blogs, etc.

However when I try to do an Alexa request, it is just a voice search of the store as before. This is on an iPad, but I don't see any reference that it works only on iPhone, etc. I thought maybe it needs to be enabled on an Amazon server and they are rolling it out gradually, but it has been several weeks since I installed the app and still no Alexa skills are in evidence.

Can anybody here supply some more 'data points'?
