User Reviews

Buttons for Alexa is praised for enabling convenient, customizable home screen access to Alexa routines and commands, often integrating well with automation tools like Tasker. Users appreciate its reliability and developer support. However, common issues include an outdated or unattractive UI, repeated Amazon login prompts disrupting service, problems running in background affecting Tasker functionality, and occasional device status inaccuracies. Some users report setup difficulties due to limited documentation. Overall, despite some drawbacks, it fills a gap left by the official Alexa app, receiving many positive reviews from power users.

Pros

Allows creation of home screen buttons or widgets to control Alexa routines more easily than the official Alexa app.
Highly customizable with options to change button colors and icons, and ability to use custom images for buttons.
Integrates well with Tasker and other automation tools to chain Alexa routines or commands.
Reliable and stable control of smart home devices through Alexa with minimal failures over long-term use.
Developer provides good support and addresses device-specific issues quickly.

Cons

UI is somewhat outdated or unappealing, with widgets described as ugly or limited in design.
Requires Amazon login frequently, sometimes daily, causing inconvenience and temporary loss of functionality.
Issues with background operation particularly with Tasker integration on new Android versions, requiring the app to be on screen for commands to work.
Occasional inaccuracy in device state feedback, such as showing devices as on when they are off, leading to trust issues.
Some users find the setup and configuration confusing or poorly documented, leading to difficulty getting the app fully functional.

Recent reviews

Doesn't work with Tasker unless the app is on the screen. Seems like Android is killing it or something in the background, but there is no app permission to turn that off in Android 15. I have it set to "Allow Background Usage" but it doesn't help.

Works well. The UI is a bit lacking, but it's manageable. It just has a slight learning curve. Worth paying for, especially for the Tasker integration.
