Was really great. Then two days ago, it started having issues playing music from Amazon Unlimited. Some songs it would play fine and others it would say it's having problems and skip the song... These are songs it's played numerous times before without issue. I can play the songs straight from my phone though. I tried uninstalling and then reinstall, but same issue.

Quite a good app/product. Was able to get Alexa in my car before even Amazon themselves got their own equivalent product. It does sometimes accidentally respond to words/sounds (esp Alexa ads) playing on the radio, and also sometimes require repeated commands. Working on Bluetooth data also means there's a short lag time between commands and responses compared to the Amazon Echo devices at home. If you have frequent friends/conversations in the car, this can pick up more accidental "Alexa's", and you might find yourself reaching for the (nice sized) mute button. But despite these shortcomings, it's still a great little device to help me turn on the home AC/lights...etc when I get into the car, along with other conveniences like helping me time to my favorite streaming station on TuneIn.

This is actually a decent app for interacting with Alexa in your car. I have two devices. One in my 1994 Mercedes and the one in my 1972 El Camino. There are 3 basic problems with the app. The main one is it doesn't support Spotify. Of course I can manually stream it, but that defeats the purpose of Alexa. 2nd, the app doesn't auto connect from one device to the other when I switch vehicles. I have to manually connect. 3rd, every time I manually connect, it makes me relink the account, annoying.
