STOP IT
Please for the love of god STOP trying to change my device names for me. STOP asking me if I want your silly suggested names. STOP making me have to fear every group change I make. This isn't helping your best customers.
Arguably it might help one grandmother out there with 3 devices, but those of us who are your best customers with a dozen echoes and hundreds of accessories are struggling for survival on this platform that isn't getting any better.
One wonders if Amazon's own dev team actually USE any of their stuff.

Reconnecting Dot
The app helped me easily reconnect my Alexa Dot after I’d change WiFi provider
Newest update is causing issues
Use this app all the time to use the kindle assisted reader function for my kindle books. Has worked awesome. The most recent update is awful, if the phone goes to sleep or there is any notification it cancels it. Never had this issue before & I use it to listen to my books while driving so I can’t exactly reset it every time I get a notification or the phone goes to sleep

Can’t get hooked up
I can’t get the Alexa to hook up. It was hooked up going through my boyfriends phone
Pésima
Demorada, no sigue comandos, la cámara nunca funciona. Pésima inversión
So slow
The new update to the app makes it incredibly slow… I’m baffled how an app from a tech company could be released in this state. Please fix 🙏
What?
What have you done to the user interface? Stupid sliding tabs to get to the info / controls. It was fine, now it’s a mess 🤦🏻♂️
Very inconsistent
In theory, this app is great because it gives you the opportunity to control your devices from anywhere, but unfortunately, it is extremely unstable and crashes often. In addition, each time the app is updated, it is fraught with bugs, including live view either freezing, no longer having the option to pan, or not connecting at all. It’s incredibly frustrating, especially when you need to monitor your elderly family members. Amazon really needs to get their act together.

New view
I do not like the new view on my shopping list
Just let me see the most used, lowest-margin features quickly
Stop building this to be a behavior telemetry ingestion machine to maximize affinity KPIs. I just want to see my alarms/reminders, and a few basic things.
Wifi
Constantly losing WiFi connection
AI function doesn't work
The built in Alexa AI+ does not even respond to inquiries.
Alexa sucks now
The interface is absolutely horrible. You used to be able to find things on a simple table of contents now it’s buried under menus and impossible to find. I’ve been trying for 30 minutes to enlist a new skill for my lights and there’s no clear path to disable the old one and updating the new one.
App stops playing when close
Suddenly my Alexa app will stop playing my books and music when the app closes. This just recently started happening.
Not happy with update
I don’t like her new voice and things like turning on my bedroom or all lights on in the morning is now a chore …..she can’t find “bedroom lights” or even “lights” in general . Come on! I don’t have time in morning or night to ask her 10 different ways to turn on or off lights just to manually do it myself! Plus the other Alexa was more friendly and upbeat, this one sounds like she is dragging her words! Not happy at all!! Can I undo my update to get my old Alexa back, I miss her, she was so sweet and way smarter then this one!!! If it’s not broke don’t fix it, now it’s broke:(

Don’t use if you depend on drop in
Every other update breaks drop-in. At the moment it either does nothing or calls the wrong family member. And the only time it gives an offer to “rate your call” is after a successful call, not if it dropped for no reason or just didn’t work. So much trouble
Still looking forward to it
It’s still slow
Sometimes the volume adjustment button doesn’t respond until you click a few more times
Volume adjustment it’s difficult to get the certain number because you have to drag the little dot (old school design)
At night we play classical music
Sometimes Alexa announces the music that she couldn’t play while we sleep, it really scares my toddler baby and us!
And unfortunately there’s no way to turn that extra feature off which I don’t understand
Looking forward to some new improvements!

AI Slop
I avoided upgrading to Alexa + for as long as I could because AI makes everything so much worse and less efficient but Amazon is showing us just how bad AI can be. Everyone has been wanting to wait at least 15 seconds before they’re able to turn off their lights, especially during these relaxing times when no one has anything better to do. Bravo, psychopaths. You did it.

The app after the update
After the update I can no longer turn my Alexa on to play and lock my phone or run it in the background without whatever I’m listening to stopping.
Stupid
Product updates break things.
