There was a time that seemed true--the site was user-friendly to be able to
place orders, do returns, and more, and at the bottom of the page was a
little blurb giving the #, implying that that was for whenever you couldn't

I notice that on the PC it takes a couple of seconds for the page to load.
There seems to be the same problem with the phone. I have had to wait for

Hi
I own the Echo Tap and have it set up to answer to the wake up name of Alexa.
I went outside to sit on the deck at two this afternoon and listened to an
Audible audio book for about half an hour, then played music until around 5:30,
used it as a timer while bBQing chicken, and then paused
It is about the size of a soda pop can and works kind of like an Echo, only you
have to press for Alexa instead of just saying Alexa - a battery saver. Plus,
I'd prefer that. When I want Alexa or Siri or whomever, I want them, but not
just open.

The Amazon Tap doesn't have to be tapped to listen. Just like the other
Alexa enabled devices you can just use the key phrase and use it hands
free. Sure this will put extra strain on the battery, but the
alternatives are no battery at all. Here's a additional link to a review

Hello,
You can send messages to multiple people, regardless of whether they have
ipHones or other devices. I think there are some features of group
conversations that only work if everyone has an iOS device, though.

Hi Carolyn,
Yes, I routinely say something like "Tell Joe and Mary" followed by my message
text, and it goes to both people, so I'm sure you can include more names and
have it work.

I use it all the time. I would say it is usable with need for work arounds for
some features. One thing I have noticed on both Chewy and Amazon is that you
cannot go backward very easily in a list of items. I have to go back to the top
and swipe through to find my place I want to be. Try

Hi Richard,
Correct, I think Todd gives the example of emails and using the BCC field for

email addresses which they would if he used the CC field.
Of course you can send text messages to a bunch of people simply by

willing to write him off list, but his question seemed to be about emailing not
