RE: How best to set up Amazon Echo
Start with the app, you should be fine for most items. Later, if you run in to a snap, use http://echo.amazon.com Thom -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Donald Moore Sent: Sunday, May 31, 2015 7:21 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: How best to set up Amazon Echo From what I read on another list, the app has some accessibility issues yet, so I suspect it'll be easier by doing it online.

RE: How best to set up Amazon Echo
Hi, use the web site www.echo.amazon.com but make sure to use it with FireFox for your browser. It's not too great with IE. The IOS app works ok for getting you set up for the first time but a nightmare for trying to make any configuration or account settings.

Re: How best to set up Amazon Echo
Hi Jeff, As others have said, the iOS app will work somewhat and the site will work somewhat. :) What I have not seen mentioned so far here from others though, is that the iPad app works much, much better than the iPhone version. I.E. the iPhone version is good for setting up your Echo but not much else, save reading your playlists. The iPad app allows you to pretty much do everything else you need except for changing your news preferences. To edit these I needed to use the site. I hope this helps. If you have any other more specific questions about the iPad app, please feel free to shout out! Enjoy your Echo! Cheers!

From what I read on another list, the app has some accessibility issues yet, so I suspect it'll be easier by doing it online.
