They just opened a store in my small town a couple of days ago.    Just found out you can order using Alexa.    Too easy..   Going to get fatter.

Aren't there several Eatery Apps available on the Echo systems? I purposefully have my voice ordering turned off, or the people in my house would likely cost me a fortune...

Not to mention it has a whole lot of bugs. Maybe they worked it out since I got it nearly a year ago.

Aslo the Alexa part and the Astro part seems to be made by two distinct development teams and put together in a not-so-seamless way.

I asked for an invite when it was first released, they sent me one a year later and I decided not to.   999 bucks for an echo device with wheels just ain't worth it.    Now, about five months later, they are sending me another invite to purchase it, for 1600 bucks before tax.   

They got to be kidding me.  They are crazy if they think they will sell it at that price.   It has nothing to offer.  Can't even vacuum the floor while following you around.  It can map it, check out what you own and send video back to amazon though.   oh well, I think this will be one big flop for amazon in the end, especially at 1600 before tax.   

I’m setting up an Echo Show for a friend with dementia.  Part of my plan for this user was to add several daily reminders for things like taking the dog out, making sure the doors are locked, etc.  I’ve found Alexa Reminders, and my other setup items, like contacts and calendar, are all working well.  But I also was hoping to add a few “Remember This” items like “My daughter Sue’s birthday is March 21st” or “my brothers names are Bob, Tim, and Dave”.  I am using both an Echo Show 2nd gen and an Echo Dot 5th gen and after hours of struggling and a multitude of Google searches, cannot get “Remember This” to work on either.  Strangely, there are many “how to” Google result on Alexa’s “Remember This” feature, but if you filter them by date, virtually all the results are at least a couple of years old, none are at all recent, and I simply cannot get Alexa to answer a simple question like “Alexa, when is my daughter Sue’s birthday?”--Alexa only replies with a rambling answer about some obscure celebrity.  I must be missing something. What am I doing wrong?   

I knew it was always limited but was surprised the latest webpage update took what little that was available away.    I believe that message at the top will eventually disappear since it will no longer be update and because of the app push
