19The Alexa app is a pretty good smart home hub. I do wish they made it a little more intuitive and easier to remove or edit devices that I no longer own. After years of use, several moves, and dozens of devices, it's a real mess and the time it takes to edit & remove old devices gets frustrating to the point that I give up and avoid opening the app unless I need to add more devices. That's why the 4 and not 5 star rating.UniversalismKnowledgeThe reviewer is providing feedback on how to improve the Alexa app, which suggests that they value knowledge and understanding.AchievementPersonal successThe review highlights the functionality of the app and its usefulness in managing smart home devices, which relates to the value of achievement and personal success.HedonismPleasureThe user finds pleasure in the convenience of the smart home hub but is frustrated by the difficulty in editing or removing devices, which hinders their overall satisfaction and ease of use.AchievementCapability (m)The user is pleased with Alexa, at the same time he/she is frustrated with it. So, “Pleasure” is both present and missing in the app. However, I did not add it as every comment can be placed under Pleasure, whether it is present or missing! Additionally, Alexa is not capable of removing unnecessary devices easily.SecuritySafety/OrderAddressed & Ignored: Alexa app works as a hub but lacks intuitiveness and organization.
24
20 (41)It's great when it works, but the app constantly drops and re-adds devices. This creates duplicates, which means Alexa is confused every time I ask it to turn on lights in a room, etc. If any device loses Internet connection momentarily, the app drops it and I have to re-add it. Again, awesome when it's working well, but it seems like Amazon is trying to do too much at once and it's getting the little things wrong. I'd love to give 5 stars, but I'm frustrated far too often.SecurityOrderThe reviewer is expressing frustration with Alexa's app's unreliability, which suggests that they value predictability and order.PowerControl over one's lifeThe review expresses frustration with the app's constant device issues, aligning with the value of power and control over one's life.SecuritySafetyThe reviewer values a reliable, stable system (safety).

AchievementCapability/CompetenceIgnored: App's inconsistencies in performance impact the reviewer's ability to use it effectively.
25
21My favorite thing about Alexa is you can use a service every day for months and then one day it just randomly breaks and instead of Alexa telling you what is causing the problem, you get to guess, troubleshoot and spend hours trying to find a random bug. Thanks, Alexa. Every time I set up everything the way I want it, they push an update that screws everything up.SecurityOrderThe reviewer is expressing frustration with Alexa's unreliability and the company's lack of transparency about problems. This suggests that they value predictability and order.StimulationExcitementThe review mentions the frustration caused by unexpected app-breaking updates, related to the value of stimulation and excitement.AchievementCapabilityThe user is frustrated by the lack of functionality and efficiency, values that are important for those who seek achievement and capability in the tools they use.Achievement, Self-direction, PowerCapability (m),I found this as a sarcastic comment. The user is actually not happy with the performance of Alexa. Alexa is not capable to understand the technical error in it. However, the app meets “Freedom”, “Independence”, and “Authority” as it let the users set up everything the way they want it.StimulationNovelty/VarietyIgnored: Reviewer experiences issues with app updates and bugs, disrupting their usual usage.
26
22 (42)The app itself is convenient because the individual Alexa devices don't usually hear me most of the time. Since their latest update it seems to have gotten worse. The alarm clocks are all face down due to the fact that the latest update turned off the feature that turns the face dark when the lights are off. Now the whole room is lit up, hence turning them face down which renders them useless to tell time. Every update turns on some new home content so I have to turn them off all the time.SecurityOrderThe reviewer is expressing frustration with Alexa's unreliability and the company's lack of responsiveness to user feedback. This suggests that they value predictability and order.SecuritySafetyThe review discusses how a recent app update negatively affected the security and safety of the user's devices, matching the value of security.PowerControlThe reviewer expresses a need for control over their devices and settings. They're frustrated by updates that change their preferences and reduce their sense of control.Conformity, AchievementObedience (m), Capability (m), Self-discipline (m)Alexa lacks the value, “Obedience”, which can be clearly understood by the sentence- “Alexa don’t usually hear me”. Also, Alexa is not capable of telling time when lights are off. Consequently, it violated the value “self-discipline” as alarm doesn’t work in Alexa.ConformityInterpersonal harmonyIgnored: Reviewer finds the app's updates inconvenient, disrupting their preferred settings.
27
23Every single app Amazon makes doesn't work properly. They keep terminating or limiting services. Music, even if you have prime, had been reduced to the functionality of Spotify, for free. Photos are being discontinued, so all those photos I've uploaded for the last 7 years are going to get deleted. The Alexa app is nothing more than a way for Amazon to shove ads down your throat. And yet, they keep charging more and more money, they can't even deliver things on time. No more reason to have prime.UniversalismJusticeThe reviewer is expressing frustration with Amazon's business practices and the company's failure to live up to its promises. This suggests that they value fairness and justice.AchievementPersonal successThe review expresses dissatisfaction with Amazon's services and pricing, aligning with the value of achievement and personal success.SecuritySocial orderThe reviewer expects a certain standard and order from services, especially ones they pay for. The lack of functionality and cutting services disrupt this order.Achievement, Hedonism, SecurityCapability (m), Enjoying life (m), Security (m), Alexa can’t work properly, it is not capable of maintaining music or photos. So, it violated the value “Enjoying life”. Moreover, old photos are not secured enough, as it keep deleting them.UniversalismSocial justice/EqualityIgnored: Reviewer feels Amazon provides reduced services while charging more.
28
24I only use Alexa for listening to Kindle books while I'm working on other tasks. That's it. But the process is buggy. Sometimes it repeats the same section of the book 5 times before moving on. Sometimes it just stops playing, then I need to close the app and open it again to start all over. The audio player doesn't always stay visible or accessible. Often times I'll just have to stop trying to use Alexa and give up on the book I'm listening to until I can deal with it again.HedonismStimulationThe reviewer is expressing frustration with Alexa's unreliability and the company's failure to provide a smooth and enjoyable user experience. This suggests that they value novelty and excitement.HedonismPleasureThe review discusses the frustration of encountering bugs while using the app for listening to Kindle books, related to the value of pleasure.StimulationExcitementThe user seeks stimulation and excitement through multitasking but is met with disappointment due to the app's buggy nature, which interrupts their experience.Universalism, AchievementWisdom (p), Intelligence (m)It helps the users to enrich wisdom, as it plays books. However, it is not always intelligent to move on with book chapters, rather playing the same sections again and again.AchievementCapability/CompetenceIgnored: Reviewer faces issues using Alexa for a specific task, diminishing their productivity.

25If I could give this app ZERO stars, I would. I have 14 various Echo units (dot, show, etc) and those units automate many functions in my 2 homes. Over the past year or so, the app randomly forgets routines, forgets (and disconnects) devices randomly, won't connect to Smart Life app any longer, and it has absolutely made my life a living hell trying to keep up with all the black-holes that keep appearing in the Alexa universe. PLEASE either FIX THE APP or REVERT IT BACK TO WHEN IT WAS STABLE.SecurityOrderThe reviewer is expressing extreme frustration with Alexa's unreliability and the company's failure to fix known problems. This suggests that they value predictability and order.AchievementPersonal successThe review highlights how the app's issues caused inconvenience with Echo units, aligning with the value of achievement and personal success.ConformitySelf-disciplineThe user desires a system that operates consistently and predictably, aligning with their own sense of self-discipline and expectation for order.AchievementIntelligence (m)It randomly forgets devices and cannot connect to devices.SecuritySafety/OrderIgnored: The reviewer faces multiple issues with the app, disrupting their home automation.

26Smart home integration is bad, and getting worse. Want to use a routine....good luck, it might work. The endless spamming of "by the way" plugs is frustrating. There is no permanent way to stop this. Amazon is rapidly falling behind the competition. Do better. Unwanted notifications on Alexa devices that cannot be be turned off. Disappointing and frustrating!SecurityOrderThe reviewer is expressing frustration with Alexa's unreliability, the company's lack of responsiveness to user feedback, and its intrusive advertising practices. This suggests that they value predictability and order.SecuritySafetyThe review mentions the frustration related to smart home integration and spamming, aligning with the value of security and safety.PowerAuthorityThe reviewer is frustrated with the decline in quality, indicating a loss of authority over their smart home experience and a decrease in the power they feel they should have over the technology.Universalism, ConformityPeace (m), Self-discipline (m)The comment sounds like Alexa ruined the peace of life by it’s unnecessary notifications! The user also wanted to make a routine, but Alexa didn’t help. So, self-discipline is violated.Self-DirectionFreedom/ChoiceIgnored: The reviewer finds smart home integration poor and dislikes the frequent ad plugs.
31
27Whatever this new update was has ruined the app. I have to keep restarting my phone because the drop-in feature will not drop in and then tells me I can't drop in because that device is on a call. Then it shows my phone is stuck in a call and I can't get out of it. Also, reminders are not syncing/working if you set them from the app. It used to work fine. Not sure why you changed it.SecurityOrderThe reviewer is expressing frustration with Alexa's unreliability after the latest update. This suggests that they value predictability andHedonismPleasureThe review mentions how a recent app update negatively affected the user experience, matching the value of pleasure.TraditionRespectThe user prefers the stability and predictability of how things were, valuing the tradition of the app's functionality. They feel disrespected by unwanted changes.AchievementCapability (m)It is not capable of syncing, and other features are also not working.StimulationNovelty/VarietyIgnored: The latest update introduced more problems than it solved for the reviewer.
32
28Alexa can't find the podcasts I want to hear when I make a voice request. The app on my Android phone is slow to respond. It can open things if you want to listen live. It won't show clip titles if you aren't using the Amazon Music app. What I like the most is its ability to change among live radio stations that run on different platforms. It sometimes says it's encountered a "network problem" but we're on fiber internet and it's plenty quick, so not sure where the problem lies. Needs work.HedonismStimulationThe reviewer is expressing frustration with Alexa's inability to provide a smooth and enjoyable user experience. This suggests that they value novelty and excitement.UniversalismEqualityThe review discusses the app's performance issues and its inability to find desired podcasts, related to the value of universalism and equality.AchievementSuccessThe user values efficiency and success in their technology's performance. They are frustrated by the app's slow response and limited capabilities.Achievement, Conformity, HedonismCapability (m), Obedience (m), Enjoying life (p, m)It is not capable of searching for podcasts, and it does not follow instructions. However, some music features work well, whereas others do not.AchievementCapability/CompetenceAddressed & Ignored: Alexa has some functionality but also multiple issues the reviewer faces.

30I have several devices. I have had them for years now. I love the music and I love the sound quality. Also, the unbelievable amount of music available. I seriously have not been able to ask for something that is not available. If so, I just ask a different way and it was played. 100% the best music selection and sound quality available. That is my opinion, and I know music. Firestick HDMI streams the ultimate HD sound waves. You select your system and you will not be disappointed.HedonismStimulationThe reviewer is expressing their love of music and Alexa's ability to provide a high-quality listening experience.

Additionally, Alexa is intelligent enough to play music even if it is asked in a different way.HedonismPleasure/EnjoymentAddressed: Reviewer enjoys the music quality and vast selection offered by Alexa.
35
31The app is pretty straightforward for all the features it contains. Makes using the Echo and other smart devices a lot easier and haven't had many issues other than a few occasional strange updates to the Echo that could mess up any complex smart network devices and/or routines. I have seen these issues resolve fairly quickly though but likely unrelated to the app itself. The added routine options have greatly improved over the years.SecurityOrderThe reviewer is expressing their appreciation for Alexa's app and its ease of use.

32Smarter than Vector, Siri, and Google home. Alexa and the app are so easy to use, if you're even remotely informed. I use them for appointment reminders, music, her stations on unlimited music are awesome. I use them for news and weather updates, timers, and shopping lists. Sooo much more. If you're unable to figure her or the app out, look it up. Don't leave a bad review because you can't research. They are a must-have for any home.UniversalismKnowledgeThe reviewer is expressing their love of Alexa and its many features.

37
33I probably use the app more than I do the actual machines. If my husband decides to play music to go to sleep with I can slowly turn the volume down before shutting off the music, I can't sleep to Megadeth it's just not for me. I open the app when our power goes out at home so I can see if it has been restored or not yet. I don't know I like the app and think it runs smoothly I have had no issues with it at all.UniversalismConcern for othersThe reviewer is describing how they use the Alexa app to control their smart home devices in a way that is convenient for them and their partner.

34Admittedly, I don't use Alexa to the fullest advantage, but only because she does so many things. The suggestions are a great start, and I'm constantly surprised at all the capabilities of this tiny little device. Music sounds full and rich, which is what I've been using the most with Amazon Music unlimited (which is also amazing). I like the reminder function, which helps me take medications and get to bed and appointments on time.

35Best device ever developed. It has helped me and my partner communicate easier. To be able to leave messages for one another. Has helped in reminders of appointments, shopping lists, to wake up in the morning. To turn on/off the game console or to pause a movie playing in the console.

36It's OK I just started using it again. The only thing I don't like is having to have everything run from the cloud. If the internet is off then everything stops. I'm looking at Home seer now, but it's nice I can pick up any TV remote to turn on/off things. Sometimes buttons are better, I would love to get an Alexa remote with 4 to 8 buttons or buttons on the TV remote.UniversalismSocial justiceThe reviewer mentions that they are looking at a different smart home system because they don't like that Alexa requires everything to run from the cloud.

38This is super easy to navigate and makes setting Amazon's Echo DOT super easy too... as well as other smart plugs, bulbs, etc. I did have some trouble earlier today where the app just suddenly didn't want to work even after clearing cache, force-stopping, and uninstalling.

39I have used this app fairly extensively for many months. I don't use the communication and play functions much, but I really like the device control features. I especially like the ability to create routines for custom voice and automatic controls for lights and plugs (AC switches). I really like the ability to use my shopping list at the grocery store and check off items as they are picked from the shelf. I haven't found much that I don't like about this app and it has always worked well."HedonismComfortThe reviewer mentions that they really like the device control features of Alexa, especially the ability to create routines for custom voice and automatic controls for lights and plugs.

40They really do listen to customer suggestions! I made a suggestion about one of the skills and, in 3 weeks, I happened to notice it was implemented! That was surprising; I helped change the way a skill worked for literally millions of people! I asked several friends if they used that certain skill and for the ones that did, asked if they noticed the change. A couple did and said it was a great addition.UniversalismSocial justiceThe reviewer mentions that they made a suggestion about one of the Alexa skills and that it was implemented in three weeks.

41 (20)It's great when it works, but the app constantly drops and re-adds devices. This creates duplicates, which means Alexa is confused every time I ask it to turn on lights in a room, etc. If any device loses Internet connection momentarily, the app drops it and I have to re-add it. Again, awesome when it's working well, but it seems like Amazon is trying to do too much at once and it's getting the little things wrong. I'd love to give 5 stars, but I'm frustrated far too often.UniversalismSocial justiceThe reviewer mentions that they are frustrated by the app's tendency to drop and re-add devices, as this creates duplicates and confuses Alexa.

42 (22)The app itself is convenient because the individual Alexa devices don't usually hear me most of the time. Since their latest update it seems to have gotten worse. The alarm clocks are all face down due to the fact that the latest update turned off the feature that turns the face dark when the lights are off. Now the whole room is lit up, hence turning them face down which renders them useless to tell time. Every update turns on some new home content so I have to turn them off all the time.BenevolencePreventing harmThe reviewer mentions that the latest update to the app has turned off the feature that turns the face of their alarm clocks dark when the lights are off, which is causing the clocks to light up the entire room. This shows that the reviewer values preventing harm, as they are concerned about the potential for the bright light from the clocks to disrupt their sleep.SecuritySafetyThe review discusses how a recent app update negatively affected the security and safety of the user's devices, matching the value of security.SecuritySafetyThe user is concerned about the proper functionality of devices for peace of mind and safety in terms of lighting.Conformity, AchievementObedience (m), Capability (m), Self-discipline (m)Alexa lacks the value, “Obedience”, which can be clearly understood by the sentence- “Alexa don’t usually hear me”. Also, Alexa is not capable of telling time when lights are off. Consequently, it violated the value “self-discipline” as alarm doesn’t work in Alexa.Repeat of 22

43I pull up to the house and see the outside light isn't on. No problem, it's controlled by Alexa. I start the Alexa app; it just shows a white screen and loading icon. I have an internet connection and we are in range of my wifi. I get out of the car, climb the porch steps in the dark, open the door, and tell Alexa via an Echo to turn on the lights. The app is still a white screen. The app is good in the house (where you don't really need it) but useless away. Do better, Amazon.HedonismComfortThe reviewer mentions that the app is good in the house but useless away, as it often shows a white screen and loading icon when they are trying to use it remotely.

44The product would be better if it worked better. Power outages reset lights, echo devices seem to work poorly over time instead of improving, they also have issues connecting to the internet while all other devices are connected. I use a Google hub with two waypoints and a mesh connection so it's rather sad Alexa doesn't work better. Alexa works better on my phone than through devices like the second, third, and fourth generation Dot. I've been debating removing all Alexa products from my home.AchievementCompetenceThe reviewer mentions that Alexa devices seem to work poorly over time instead of improving, and that they have issues connecting to the internet while all other devices are connected.

45Decent app, but some of the stuff you can't do is very frustrating. For instance, my phone shows a notification, I click it to see what it is and can't find it anywhere in the app. It shouldn't be this hard to view a notification. Pretty useless if you ask me. Although, Alexa devices are wonderful, the app is not.UniversalismSocial justiceThe reviewer mentions that they are frustrated by the app's inability to provide a consistent and reliable experience for all users. For example, they mention that they cannot view notifications in the app, even though they receive them on their phone.

46Gets the job done but has a few critical flaws. First, it's an absolute pig of a resource hog. The app will blow through mobile data like crazy if you let it and drain your battery, you definitely have to keep an eye on it. Second, a ton of the device integrations require jumping through crazy hoops. The apps that are recommended for them rarely log in correctly and you usually have to find a different one. Incredibly irritating.HedonismComfortThe reviewer mentions that the app is a resource hog and that it drains their battery.

There are also some login issues.SecuritySafety/Resource EfficiencyIgnored: Reviewer is concerned about the app's resource usage and integration issues.

47It's a work in progress. But overall, it's becoming a useful tool in my home. Amazon does need to work more to allow owners greater flexibility in what we program Alexa to do. Example; Have Alexa announce that there is a rainshower within 30 miles of our home, so we can say, roll up car windows, or gather up items outside. I'd like to sync my work calendar with Alexa, making it easy to see my month without having to physically add every event manually, every month.UniversalismSocial justiceThe reviewer mentions that Amazon needs to do more to allow owners greater flexibility in what they program Alexa to do.

48This used to be a great app. Unfortunately I hopped on one day about a year ago to find all but two of my many devices missing. Aside from that it was great. Now it's so cluttered you don't know which way to go. The Shopping List function is great BUT with the last update it suddenly won't upload photos from files. It tries and goes black and just stays that way. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Because of how cluttered it is I don't even use it except for the receipt feature 😕HedonismEnjoyment of lifeThe reviewer mentions that the app used to be great, but that it is now cluttered and difficult to use.

49I like Alexa but she has more improvement to go. I like having a smart home unit but several items aren't compatible or have flaws. Voice options could be more available. it doesn't recognize my dad's Southern draw, and my brother had a stroke and has limited speech. Amazon should do more with Alexa to support them. Overall, really good but needs improvement.BenevolencePreventing harmThe reviewer mentions that Alexa does not recognize their dad's Southern draw or their brother's limited speech.

50Needs a lot of work, the issues are embedded and will be difficult to find and fix. this is not an AI. it is a work in progress. I for one would like to see it be able to correct some more of its own issues and the core should scan software brought in to make sure it is ready for the runway. Obviously the IT folks are not up to that at this time. An example is the many issues with the lighting software. Hope all is well and appreciate the hard work you do for us(users) Thanks.AchievementCompetenceThe reviewer mentions that the app needs a lot of work and that the issues are embedded and difficult to fix.
