I recently got an Echo and the shopping list feature is great, even given I'm outside the US and can't use the ordering functionality.
It's very easy (don't have to get phone out or find paper) to say "Alexa, add Cornflakes to my shopping list" and then when I'm at the shop, have a live list to check off.
The timer function is simple but effective as well. "Alexa, set a timer for 10 minutes" when cooking pasta. I get so sick of getting my phone out and doing it that way.
These sound like tiny things, but they're so much more natural.
My three year old asks "Alexa, how tall is an elephant?" etc.
- jeeva 10y agoOut of curiosity, as I've not seen it - how does Alexa / Amazon present the list, when you have made it? Is there an app of some kind, or webpage?
- prawn 10y agoYes, there is an Alexa app that presents the shopping and todo lists. Both with checkboxes. It also shows you a history of things you've said to it, how they were interpreted, and you can give it feedback. In addition, you use the app to set any audio accounts (Spotify, etc) that you want it to use when playing music.
