I wonder if it works better, using the app, on an android device? If there is an app for the kindle fire, Ithink that is android, so maybe they care more about android than IOS.

I don’t own any but an Echo Show 5, and have no need of such a routine, but if it works on their own devices, then they care, at least, some about accessibility. Granted, in an ideal world, they would make sure it works in Apple Devices, but you run into the issue of Apple blaming them, and they no doubt will blame Apple. Let’s hope it works on Amazon devices and somehow the pressure to fix it for Apple can be applied.

When creating a routine the slider bar is not accessible for example how bright you want something like lights or what temperature you want something to turn on or off at. This has been broke forever.

Unfortunately, there is a button that you have to tap to get past this screen which is totally inaccessible with VoiceOver. I had to have my sighted wife tap on it to get past it. You can’t help but wonder if Amazon does any accessibility testing when making changes.

Donna I have an iPhone 8 so screen recognition is not an option. James, I did try that once and it didn't work but of course I probably didn't tap the exact spot. I will give it another shot.

When going to the devices tab I now get a screen that says introducing favorites and I can't find a way to get rid of it or do anying with it at all. This prevents me from working with my devices and speaker groups. Has anyone found a way around this? I did try the pass through gesture with no luck and the amazon website doesn't have the alexa control interface as it used to. Any suggestions appreciated.
