You could be right about that, but also consider that Alexa has been around at least a year longer than Google Home, I'm sure that there was a time when there weren't many games on the Alexa platform either.For me though, I don't miss the games

@Jeff, yeah, a jailbreak is the only possible way I can see an app like tasker working on IOS. But to integrate Tasker with something like the Google Home, I'm not sure if Apple's hardware will allow that kind of interfacing with non apple products. But we

IOS is gradually beginning to open more and more of the system to developers. I was firmly against this in the beginning, but it does have its uses. I hope they will eventually open enough to allow changes to the UI sounds.

I doubt it will ever come to IOS for one simple reason. It would require customization and a level of access to the OS's root that Apple doesn't want people to have.
