## Amazon Alexa Reviews in South Africa

### *---- "Stupid regional boundaries"
Signed into my account after downloading the app in a different region. None of my years of routines and automations have carried over.  Thanks Amazon.  
New app is unnecessarily vague and ui is unintuitive.  Think it’s time to migrate to a new home hub.
-- JTwonder42, 2024-11-24

### *---- "Pathetic performance"
This is not meant for large homes or if you wish to run many routines. It is pathetically slow, impossible to maintain if you get close to the limits (but are below) and there’s no way to get / pay for more capacity. 

Secondly the integration with Home Assistant where one can do more complex routines effectively doesn’t work. It took months to figure this out. I tried so many different integration options only to realise it wouldn’t be stable. It almost feels like Amazon does this deliberately. 

Had I known this I would have never bought Alexa. What a waste!
-- Golfersa1, 2024-11-17

### **--- "Alexa struggle to know my location"
Location not working
-- Tommied08, 2024-10-18

### ***-- "Works fine"
Does what is expected.
However, some key noteworthy cons include:
1. The AI doesn’t always get what you’re saying or 
2. isn’t up to date on all topics and
3. often only sites one source of information.
4. Not all features are available in my country.
5. Isn’t at all talking very nicely with my Apple Music.
-- Factuality zda.T., 2024-09-11

### ***-- "Usually worked well"
After an update I cannot cast to my echo dot. TuneIn doesn’t work. Just says welcome to tune in and glitches . Please fix this.
-- Warwickv, 2024-09-08

### ***** "Great app"
Great Application I love it ,keep on the good work
-- DjNelz, 2024-07-22

### *---- "Music"
None of the music platforms stream properly. It’s like Alexa goes out of her way of misunderstanding what you want her to play.
-- Sissi@89, 2024-06-28

### *---- "Crashes too much"
The app crashes a lot it is not stable because I use Bluetooth and my Alexa won’t connect to the internet it is very slow and glitchy.
-- Grad school., 2024-06-01

### *---- "Red light will not go off no matter what I do!"
The red light refuses to go off! I have tried switching in and off; taking plug out. Red light remains on!!!
Help
-- Getunoticed, 2024-04-17

### ***** "Excellent item"
Excellent item - a must for every household.. especially for over 60
-- Arthur Fourie, 2024-02-17
