Shopping at this point is limited to items you ordered in the past that were prime eligible.

You can look for other things to buy but you will end up having to use the echo app to do so on the iPhone.

If you do have orders you placed in the past that were prime eligible though it is a true 21st century experience very cool!

You tell echo you want to buy so and so and it says you ordered this on such a date and do you want to buy it again.

You say yes and its done.

If you have push notifications set up with your creditcard and bank in a second or two after you say yes you get the notification your card was charged.

Its awesome!

I remember hearing that shopping may be limited to things you've ordered on Amazon before.

    Hello all,
    Surprisingly, I set up my echo without any difficulty. However, I
    still do not know how to get downcast to play using the echo and
    also don't know how to get a shopping purchase completed. Any help
    would be greatly


    Appreciated. Also, to use the echo with At Bat, do I open the At
    Bat app first? Sent from my iPhone

            Hey May,

            What is it that Homer Simpson says, doh because that fixed
            it. Can’t believe I did not think of that as when you pair
            your iPhone with the Echo sure enough your iPhone volume
            must go to zero by default, just got it paired and playing
            something from Downcast on the Echo. Thanks so much and do
            pass along my thanks to your friend for pointing out the
            blatantly obvious. Ok, now this really changes things
            since the iPhone and VO does work with the Echo. Time to
            explore more.

            Also, my friend said he just needed to turn up the volume
            on either the IPhone or the echo the first time he did it.

            Good luck.

            Yes agreed it does do all that and I was able to get
            something from Tune In to play and i did not have to log
            in to tune in or anything but I do have tune in pro. The
            main reason I got it was to quickly use with MLB At Bat as
            my friend who does not use VO showed that feature off to
            me. Unfortunately since pairing the Echo with the iPhone
            seems to knock out VO it is not something I can do unless
            someone who uses VO has figured out a work around. Am
            going to play with it more today to see what I can figure
            out but tried it twice and both times VO disappeared, and
            I had to turn bluetooth off on the iPhone to then get VO back.

            Hi Brian,
            You can listen to podcasts on the echo. You can also
            connect and I heart account, or establish one,. I did it
            with the Mac using the URL for the Echo site. It is still
            limited, but it isn't as bad as just being able to play
            prime music I think you are also supposed to be able to
            connect your tune in account, and if you have favorites,
            they are supposed to go to the top of the search list when
            Alexa searches using to noon. And, there is the  news
            brief, weather forecasts, and other general information. I
            hope it will get better.

            Thanks as I am curious to as seeing Apple’s new music

            music on it through prime music than unfortunately the
            Echo is pretty useless. I did quickly get a response from
            Amazon as I sent them an email about the VO issues through

            along to their developers so we shall see.

            Brian,
            I don't think you're supposed to be able to play MLB from
            your phone to the echo. ITunes. I think that's it. The
            Bluetooth will take your iTunes stuff that you select on
            your iPhone and plant over the echo speaker. I haven't
            done it. But that is what is supposed to do. As for your
            other stuff, no, it is a bust. The Mac app is kind of
            strange in that you have to do a lot of mouse rotting and
            pressing and praying, and eventually, you can probably get
            your news flash list set up the way you wanted. But forget
            that to do and the shopping list. No go all the way around
            until Amazon gets its accessibility act together sometime
            the next millennium.

            Just got my Amazon Echo today, and have read on the list
            that certain things for the Echo do not work with
            VoiceOVer. It took awhile and some frustration but I
            finally got it to connect to my wifi network.I wanted to
            see if anyone found any works arounds for these two
            things. One I connected my iPhone via bluetooth to the
            Echo, but this completely knocked out VoiceOVer, congrats
            to Amazon for making the first bluetooth speaker that does
            not work with VO. Can anyone get their iPhone VO to play
            over the Echo? I want to pair it so I can listen to MLV At
            Bat games through the echo. The other thing I noticed is
            there is no way to delete items that you have added to
            your to do list and shopping list. I tried clicking the
            delete button both on the iPhone app and then on safari on
            th emac, but instead of deleting items it just kept
            swapping the item I clicked delete from one list to the
            other so taking a item on the shopping list and instead of
            deleting it moved it to the to do list. The button next to
            delete is move to the other list so obviously some kind of
            a focus issue. If anyone has had any luck with any of this
            please do let us know. Thanks,
