Widgets for Alexa User Reviews

Doesn’t work on MacOS. Maybe for iPad?

This is a review for using the app on MacOS. It doesn’t work. I can add a command and set it up as a widget but the clicking the widget brings up the app and it opens the command interface as if to edit it. Testing the voice command acts like Alexa will do the command but it doesn’t. I have no idea if it would work on iPad but since this app was last updated three years ago, I will suggest to NOT try this app. I wonder if my Amazon email and password were pilfered now. I will go change the them.

No longer supported?

If this app would’ve worked, it would’ve been great. However, as it is, all Alexa says is “this function no longer supported on non-Alexa certified devices.” I’ll give the developer the benefit of the doubt that when they created this app that may not have been an impediment. As it is, the app no longer functions.

Losing time

Does not work!

I was hopeful but …. This app seems useless.

I downloaded it, added it to my Alexa account…created a widget in this app then made the shortcut for it in iOS.

When I click the widget, all it does is take me to the widget editor. It never launches the widget instructions which is supposed to speak to Alexa in order to fire off a routine.

No worky! No instructions…UI is over-the-top basic like some Mario game. ?? Don’t bother with the download.

Didn’t work for me.

I tried creating a simple “Alexa turn on bedroom lights“ widget, but it couldn’t even get that done. Give me a compatibility error.

Widgets don’t work

Really easy to create widgets but utterly pointless as they don’t actually work. You just get a message saying it only works on certified Alexa devices.

Does not work

I see my review pointing out that it doesn’t work has been removed? You get an error saying Alexa doesn’t support it & nothing happens. Do not download.

Fix your TRASH

Fix your TRASH, or take it TFO the App Store!
