Amazon Alexa

The Amazon Alexa app gives you full control of your Alexa smart-home device right from your own computer.

A Convenient Setup

The Alexa app isn’t for mobile devices anymore. This can be a convenient feature for those who prefer the user interface of a computer. Although you’re able to do many things with your current Alexa device by voice command, you can do much more with the app on your computer. The app gives you extra control if you want to do a variety of things, such as browsing skills, setting alarms and more. However, before you install the Alexa app on your computer, make sure you have the necessary requirements. By doing this, you’ll have an easier time navigating through the app without any problems.

Enabling Your Wi-Fi Through the PC

Once you install the Alexa app, you’ll be prompted to set up your Wi-Fi. Installing Wi-Fi for your Amazon Alexa device enables you to enjoy the full experience. This can include syncing your mobile phone’s contacts for hands-free calling or connecting to your local weather. Another feature you can enjoy on your computer is searching for your history. If you played a song on your Alexa device but can’t remember the name of the song, you can go on your computer, connect to the Alexa app and browse for the search history.

Using Skills can Make a Difference

One of the things that makes the Alexa app convenient to use is the ability to search for your skills. Although you can use voice command to search some Alexa skills, you’ll have more options when you use the app on your computer. Simply by inputting a keyword of a particular skill on the search bar, you’ll get ranking results for similar skills related to what you need. Overall, the Alexa computer app is a great addition and can offer:

  • More skills and features
  • Wi-Fi setup
  • Extended Alexa features
  • Abilities to sync your mobile devices
