User Reviews

Users largely report that the app's features are blocked by Alexa certification requirements and do not work as intended; clicking widgets opens the editor instead of triggering commands; the MacOS version is nonfunctional, and the app seems outdated. A minority of reviews acknowledge that the tool can create custom Alexa widgets and configure different widgets, suggesting potential value if compatibility and maintenance improve.
Pros
  • Custom Alexa widgets can be created.
  • Different widgets can be configured for different tasks.
  • The app enables creating Alexa widgets and, for some users, does what they expected.
Cons
  • Limited functionality due to Alexa certification requirements (non-certified devices can't use features).
  • Widget actions do not trigger Alexa routines and often open the editor or do nothing.
  • App appears unmaintained and outdated (last update years ago).

As others have said. It will just give the certified Alexa devices error.

This is a review for using the app on MacOS. It doesn’t work. I can add a command and set it up as a widget but the clicking the widget brings up the app and it opens the command interface as if to edit it. Testing the voice command acts like Alexa will do the command but it doesn’t. I have no idea if it would work on iPad but since this app was last updated three years ago, I will suggest to NOT try this app. I wonder if my Amazon email and password were pilfered now. I will go change the them.

If this app would’ve worked, it would’ve been great. However, as it is, all Alexa says is “this function no longer supported on non-Alexa certified devices.” I’ll give the developer the benefit of the doubt that when they created this app that may not have been an impediment. As it is, the app no longer functions.
