Yep, the new Alexa app is so different in look and navigation that it is difficult to find stuff now. The old app wasn't that great, but at least we had grown accustomed to where everything was. Now we have to search a while to find the function/feature we need. I also hate how it constantly requested me to activate voice control until I finally did. That feature is now on iOS devices too. And those stupid icons across the bottom of the app page are anything but intuitive!
@Catlady, a year or so ago I bought a cheap 6" Fire on sale to use along with my Echos to visually see which songs were playing while listening to music. I too thought it would work better with Echos than 3rd party tablets like my iPads. Boy was I wrong. It sucked big time and kept stalling out during music play, so I sold it and started using my iPad Mini instead. One might think Fires would be the ultimate tablet reading experience with Kindle books too, but turns out the iOS Kindle app blows it out of the water. I don't think the various device departments at Amazon actually communicate much with each other. I wonder if each device category might be designed offsite by 3rd party contractors. This reminds me of the Apollo 13 design fiasco when the CO2 scrubbers on the Command Module and the Lander were incompatible with one another as far as filters because the Command Module and the Lander had been designed by a different companies. Thankfully NASA and the astronauts were able to rig up a solution with plastic bags and duct tape!
