Ok, can you or anyone explain to me what good having Alexa on any device is, other than to show the history?
For example it says on the Fire HD 8 page "Now with Alexa, for quick access to the information and entertainment you want. Ask questions, play music, check your calendar, get the news, weather, and more - just press the home button and ask."
Ok well neither my Fire 8 or the Alexa app on a phone responds when I ask it a question. The phone has a home icon in the app (the Fire does not). Makes no difference. I can't get anything to happen. It won't even play music. On the tablet, I go to Amazon Music in the Alexa app. I get a message that says, "Looks like you're trying to play something on (this tablet). Speak to (this tablet) and tell Alexa what you'd like to play." I can talk to it till I turn blue. Nothing happens (unless the Dot in the kitchen hears me, then it replies).
Is it just a remote control for the Echo devices?
