Followed carefully the instruction and the watch and the smartphone's app seem to be connected, but still you can't get a reply from Alexa. I gave up after few hours of unsuccessful tries.

Hitting the connect amazon account button on the app won't do anything

I watched the video, downloaded the apps. and followed the directions SUCCESS! This app seems to work as described & I'm a happy camper! It may be a little thing but it makes my life a little easier. Thank you so much for creating this! 😁

i wish it worked! i had the older app and companion app and while they were a bit slow it worked great. i was so happy to see a update but alas after removing the old files abd reinstalling both apps it just doesn't work nearly as good as before. It hit or miss if it does work, still bad lag, and now it mishears everything i say. will gladly update this review when it works.

As of 14/01/2020 this is still not working as it is supposed to. It doesn't do anything yet says "Alexa Ready" after signing in to my amazon account. Wouldn't waste any time installing this. Edit: The developer is assuming I didn't do what he suggested, which he is wrong to do so seeing as I followed his instructions and the app STILL doesn't work. The only thing I didn't do was report it within the app which, considering I am not wasting my time with this app anymore is pointless.
