Voice in a Can

I usually don't review an app right after installing it, but this app worked perfectly right after the install. It was very easy to install and it installed fast. I'm using an Iphone Xs Max in conjunction with the Series 4 watch. There were no glitches at all. It does just what I want it to. It turns on and off my lights and it adds to and shows my shopping list plus answers questions. My goal was to not carry my phone into the store for my Alexa shopping list. It works with wi fi and cellular. So far I am very happy with it. If I encounter any issues I will report them. I am always leaving my phone behind so this feature really adds to the function of the watch. I do like it so far. UPDATE: Used it the first time in the grocery store on my watch with the phone left in the car. I asked it to read my shopping list. It said you have 10 items on your shopping list and then showed me the list. How convenient! My watch does have cellular connection. My goal is to leave the phone behind as much as I can. I could not do that before this fantastic app because I needed the phone to read the list. I can't tell you how many times I have laid the phone down at the register only to get to the car and realized I left it behind. This app now allows me to leave the phone in the car while shopping. Thank you. It is also nice to control my thirty plus light bulbs with this app too.

I really like this app! I saw some of the negative reviews but after reading the developer’s responses I decided to try it for myself. It sounds like it’s just one person working on this and what it does is so useful. I use it to turn on my lamp mostly and it’s nice being able to ask Alexa instead of Siri on my apple device. I gave it 4 starts out of five because I believe it can be optimized a little. Also I think updating the app logo, flashing up the interface and a name change might help sell it a better. I have it on the front screen of my Apple watch and just wished it looked a little cooler. Lol. Still a really great app so keep up the awesome work :)

While, yes, the app can be slow on the watch, like any other app that requires a cell signal or Wi-Fi, it also depends on your cellular connection, on the watch if you have the third generation, or the phone, whether you do or you don’t, because if your phone is nearby and the cell signal is too weak for your watch, it will get that from your phone rather than trying to kill the battery by getting a cell signal that it can’t otherwise, and can actually be very fast when you’re on Wi-Fi or have a stronger cell signal. The voiceover problems that caused me to give it a very low rating before no longer exist. Now, it’s a pretty reliable app. I don’t take my ratings and reviews lightly, and so far, the things that I had complained about no longer exist. It no longer picks up things that it shouldn’t when using the watch, and visually impaired people can now set the app up on the phone by themselves. Well done! With the scathing review that I gave before, it’s obvious that this is an app developer that cares. The reason that I got this app was so that I would be able to arm and disarm my home security system when I’m away from home because ADT, regardless of how many times I have tried contacting them about the fact that their app needs help and the accessibility department, has continued to make it the same way and not improve it, and this app makes it much easier. If you have a visual impairment and an echo device, this app can make life easier, even when you aren’t at home!
