The Echo Show is a horrible disappointment. I got one when they were released in the UK because it seemed the perfect thing to keep in the kitchen, but it’s crippled beyond usefulness.
My primary use case was going to be watching Netflix with voice control. Netflix has yet to appear
on the Show, and because of Amazon’s zealot like insistence that everything be driven by a voice UI there’s no web browser or app support. The thing is clearly running some version of Android, I wish they’d just bite the bullet and throw FireOS proper on there.
- daveguy 8y agoThat is strange. Especially considering the original echo has a volume ring on the top for manual volume adjustment. I'm surprised the echo show is voice only and doesn't include a touchscreen. Thank you for the heads up.
- jon-wood 8y agoTo clarify the Echo Show does have a touch screen, but they may as well have not added it for all the use it provides.
