Not working app
I have a 2021 toyota rav4 and I've been trying to connect this app to the car for two years and it doesn't work, it's the last time I tried it, thinking that maybe they had improved the app but it's the same situation that says it doesn't connect with the microphone but in configuration everything is connected. So they should put a lot of effort for the application.

Toyota screwed up Alexa
I am a Techie. Have Alexa ecosystem in my home since 5+ years. Never got the Toyota+Alexa App to get setup on my XSE 2019. Spent hours with Toyota Phone Support in Jan’23, but same result... Car is connected via Bluetooth but fails to detect the Alexa on the phone. Toyota asked to go to a dealership… which asked for a $180 diagnostics fee. Toyota wants me to pay this to dealership with no commitment of reimbursement, as dealers operate independently. During my trials… I must have reinstalled the apps, reset & updated car software more than 20-25 times. I eventually gave up & deleted these apps for good.

It doesn’t work 😡
This app has really bad connectivities issues with the car.
It worked fine when I installed it never ever again! The car cannot detect the App and the feature is grayed out.
Horrible experience!
The fact that it has a 2 star rating and Toyota doesn’t do anything about it is mind blowing.
Toyota has great cars, but this App is a shame.
Maybe Toyota should give up on the Alexa feature and remove it from the marketing and sales material to avoid more of this bad customer experience.

Don’t waste your time.
I have a 2022 Toyota Tacoma. I down loaded the Toyota and Toyota-Alexa app. It worked for a couple of days and then Alexa froze. Now the Toyota-Alexa icon on the touch screen doesn’t light up even though the truck is connected to my phone’s Bluetooth and the Toyota-Alexa phone app says it’s connect.

No longer works
After one of the last updates Alexa no longer works. I used to just launch the app and now in order to get it to work I also have to go in to the Toyota app swipe down to get to connected apps and open that. There is nothing on that screen but it puts the app in my Toyota apps window.
Try doing that every time you get in to your vehicle.

Not Worth It
This app is a piece of crap. I bought a 2021 Corolla a week ago. I been able to get Toyota +Alexa app to work one time in my driveway. Now it says make sure my Bluetooth is connected or the app is grayed out on my screen or the app just spins. The voice command to make calls or anything doesn’t really work either. I love the car but the voice command apps like Alexa is worthless

worked once- Update- Solution Found
I was actually really excited to use this and it worked well the first time. You could just use your phone but the idea of just using your voice without touching your phone would be more convenient. Sadly, Toyota is not fixing this. Hurry up and fix this or stop promoting it as an incentive. SOLUTION FOUND I figured out of to make this work. Obviously, first have a bluetooth connection. This will automatically connect the next time. Then open the red toyota app, NOT toyota+alexa app. In the red toyota app, press the down arrow and it should reveal the app suite button on the bottom left. It should say toyota+alexa app as downloaded. Click on that then on the bottom “launch toyota+alexa app”… this will trigger this app to open up and finallt you will see the app as an audio source in your dash/infotainment. In other words, you have to launch this non working app through the red toyota app to work. Otherwise you will just see a grey icon you can’t click.

Terrible experience
Doesn’t deserve even one star. Installed it four times and spent well over one hour in total without getting any luck with staring the app properly. Complete waste of time and will never ever use it or try to use it again.
Crap
I can’t even get this out of my car dash…won’t connect, won’t delete and it’s ruined my ability to use any other feature. Can’t skip songs or even see what is playing anymore. Wish I had never downloaded. Awful everything.
Way too much hassle
I would rather the app not exist than have it exist in this unusable premature state it’s in now. Or call it what it is, a beta (or Alpha!).
I have to open and connect all the apps every time I get into my car. Doesn’t connect when my phone is plugged in. to me, the app is false advertising and completely worthless until they can get it to connect automatically without manual intervention every time I turn on my car.
This app degrades my opinion of Toyota and Amazon/Alexa. Neither company should have allowed this to market in the current state.

Clearly no communication between developers
Every other function and app you use with your Toyota vehicle requires you to have a hardwired connection. This one asks you to Bluetooth. That alone makes this app worthless. Haven’t even gotten to the bugs everyone else talks about
Version 2.0 not connecting to Toyota + Alexa app
This version does not initialize on my iPhone 12 when connected to my 2021 Avalon Hybrid. It worked fine before the update. I've tried reinstalling both apps and reestablishing the Bluetooth connection. I know it must be a setting I'm missing.
App was functioning in my 2020 corolla and became useless
Toyota-alexa app was working fine until some “genius” app tech decided to shut down entune 3.0 for a toyota app that is incompatible with 2021 or older car models.
They shut down the alexa-toyota and entune 3.0 app for vehicle models that were working fine.
Toyota, you are selling a multimedia system that is a lie because after you sell the units, you discharge their functionality. Zero rate for this useless app.

Another problematic app from Toyota
Just like the main Toyota app this one is useless as well. Also, the worse Alexa execution in a any car brand. You have to open and close the app in order to make it work. It drops if you receive a call. Please Toyota work on your apps and make it useable like the other brands do.
Poorly Integrated Application
Toyota has several apps that conflict with Apple Play. Sometimes Alexa works but trying to get the Apple Maps and Alexa songs is impossible. Pay attention to the road instead of this application. Someone is going to get hurt trying to make this work correctly.
Waste of Time
This was a hunk of software crap when it came out and still is? For the price paid for my Prius Prime, none of the software has worked as one would expect from Toyota. Certainly will look to other makes next time around .
My Toyota Alexa
Oh my god! I always thought it was just my vehicle but having read all the reviews sounds like Toyota is well aware of the problem since it seams to be the same for everyone yet they either are not doing anything about it or don’t care(?).
It doesn’t work
I’ve tried everything I can think of to make this stupid app connect to my Toyota. (Yes, the Bluetooth is already paired with the car.) it just won’t work. When I bought the car I was promised that Toyota would be upgrading it to Apple Play. Well, that was a lie and I’m stuck with their crap Entune and now this crap app that doesn’t work.

Bad connection
This app has given me trouble since I got my 2020 tundra limited. Poor connection. Once I am able to get the app working and connected it will randomly disconnect. Then I’ll have to close down the app and restart it. This happens daily. So often I’ll avoid using it when I can. Worst vehicle app I have ever used. Toyota please fix this.

Don't work at all won't connect to car.
Have a 2019 Camry xse, had a Samsung note and this worked easy and never had a problem. Because my car only have car play because it's a 2019 I decided to just switch to iPhone. Literally the only reason. Now this don't work. Guess it don't matter but I always don't want to plug in for car play. I've tried everything...Disappointed to say the least.
