### 1/5 — Please update the app

*2026-05-24, version 3.5.3*

Please update the app else remove it from App Store forever. The stupid app won’t allow to login to Amazon. NEVER will I be buying anything with name Harman Kardon on it.

### 1/5 — AmazonAlexa Login Fail

Cant login to amazon alexa, it says “fail” everytime

### 1/5 — Fail login. To Alexa

*2026-04-03, version 3.5.3*

### 1/5 — Will they ever fox this app?

*2026-03-18*

Ive had the same issues everyone has I can’t set up my speaker because i can’t sign in to amazon

### 1/5 — HK Astra

*2026-01-21, version 3.5.3*

I have tried an excessively numerous times to connect my speaker to amazon music, but it always says “fail”. This is so useless!!! They need to fix this now. It’s ridiculous. Things are expensive nowadays.

### 1/5 — Failing to connect to Alexa

*2026-01-13*

HK Astra keeps on failing to connect to the Amazon Alexa. It just says ‘Fail’.

### 1/5 — Einrichtung von Astra nicht möglich

*2025-12-20*

App behauptet, das mein iPhone keine Wlan Verbindung hat, obwohl alle andere Apps funktionieren

### 1/5 — Broken app

*2025-11-17*

Connectivity to Alexa account seems broken .  This app deserves 0 rating .

### 1/5 — Don’t Waste Your Time

*2025-11-10, version 3.5.3*

This app is so bad, it would be comical if it weren’t so frustrating. You buy an expensive speaker with amazon capabilities just for the app to not let you use the features of the speaker. It’s finicky, glitchy, and inconsistent. Ridiculous.

### 1/5 — Unable to set it up

*2025-10-16*

I’m unable to complete the setup on my HK allure. I downloaded the HK Alexa Setup App and when I gave allowance for network and location the app still says my phone doesn’t enable WiFi which I clearly do as I was able to search the web. I redownloaded it multiple times but get the same results. Now I’m stuck with just Bluetooth.
