You get an error saying Alexa doesn’t support it & nothing happens. Do not download. ### 1/5 — Fix your TRASH *2022-11-11, version 1.2* Fix your TRASH, or take it TFO the App Store! That feature is only available on certified alexa built in devices ### 1/5 — Fehlermeldung *2022-02-11, version 1.2* Es kommt die Fehlermeldung: „Diese Funktion ist nur auf zertifizierten Geräten mit integrierter Alexa verfügbar“ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Does not work *2025-11-09, version 1.2* Does not work ### 1/5 — Does not work *2025-08-14, version 1.2* Doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Does not work *2024-12-05, version 1.2* As others have said. It will just give the certified Alexa devices error. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on MacOS. Maybe for iPad? *2024-08-31, version 1.2* 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. ### 1/5 — No longer supported? *2024-08-03, version 1.2* 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. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2024-01-09, version 1.2* App not working Not support contact not instructions Losing time ### 1/5 — Nur auf zertifizierten Geräten verfügbar. *2023-11-04, version 1.2* Was immer das heißt. ### 1/5 — Does not work! *2023-07-24, version 1.2* 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. ### 1/5 — Didn’t work for me. *2023-02-05* I tried creating a simple “Alexa turn on bedroom lights“ widget, but it couldn’t even get that done. Give me a compatibility error. ### 1/5 — Widgets don’t work *2023-01-29, version 1.2* 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. ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Alexa can have widgets *2024-02-07, version 1.2* You can do different things with different widgets in it ### 5/5 — Must have app *2021-10-22, version 1.2* we can create custom widgets for alexa easily ### 5/5 — Create great widgets *2021-10-22, version 1.2* the app helps to create great widget for alexa ### 5/5 — Works *2021-08-26, version 1.2* Idk why there’s a bad review for this but it does what I expected ### 5/5 — Widgets on home for Alexa *2021-06-06, version 1.2* Allows me to pre record alexa commands and play them back at the touch of a button from a Home Screen widget ### 2/5 — Doesn't work *2022-10-13, version 1.2* When I test tge command, it simply says: That feature is only available on certified alexa built in devices --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
