I am now thinking that I made a huge mistake. I want to like this, but it's terrible. It's very slow to respond and nonstop ads and unnecessary visual items like sports or news.
I wish I had not purchased this and instead got something Apple or Google based.
I imagine that this negative feeling is factored into the fact that they're pumping tons of ads into households across the country, so for those less bothered it will satisfy Amazon's desire to earn advertisement revenue, but the execution is poor.
The laggy device means I'll never select an advertisement or care. Secondly, I don't want to see ads in my kitchen. Finally, if this feature was more controllable and the device more customizable, then maybe, but it's not.
I'm only keeping it until I find something better and then I'll never buy another Amazon smart home product again
The device's main purpose is to show you ads and to listen to your conversations, identify things inside your home that you use or might need. It's secondary purpose is to serve as a slideshow for photos, sports, and news. The clock and weather are tertiary and anything else comes after those aforementioned tasks.
I'm only giving it five stars so that my review isn't buried. It's more of a 3 stars if it was customizable, and 4 stars if it wasn't laggy, but it's really 2 stars because of the ads. Sounds great, looks good, but slow and full of ads.
