Description

Bring Ford+Alexa with You on the Road: Access to Alexa in your Ford is now as easy as connecting your phone, starting the Ford+Alexa app and speaking to Alexa. Even with road noise, Alexa listens and provides you with the same information and access to Skills and features as you can get with an Echo in your home. Alexa’s familiar voice and responses then play through your vehicle’s speakers. You can access thousands of Alexa skills and services that Echo customers already enjoy. Pump yourself up on the way to the gym by saying, “Alexa, play my workout playlist.” Continue the book you were listening to, even during your commute to work. Check whether you have dinner plans on the drive home by asking, “Alexa, what’s on my calendar tonight?”

• Navigation: You can ask Alexa for a point of interest (POI) and ask Alexa to navigate to the POI. Alexa will hand off the POI to the onboard navigation when equipped or to your phone to provide you with turn by turn directions.
• Entertainment: Using Amazon Music, TuneIn, and iHeartRadio you will be able use Alexa to play music (skip, fast forward, rewind, play, and pause) and even make song purchases. The vehicle’s display will show artist, song, and album art information.

1 ★ Doesn't even let you sign in to the app from your phone.

1 ★ App usually loses sync a few seconds after I ask it to do something. If I do manage to get it working, it stops if I take a call and won't restart. I am an avid Echo user, having 3 in my home. Needless to say I am very disappointed. Now I cannot get past "sign in with Amazon." I press the icon and it flashes dark then light again. I have un-installed and reinstalled and I have restarted my phone. Sigh. I rally like having Alexa, I have four in my home.

1 ★ Pure JUNK. Why Ford even allows this app to be downloaded amazes me. Makes me think twice about Ford's technical abilities if they can't get an app right; could have hired some kid to create a better app. Whoever is in charge of this app should be fired immediately. What a waste.

5 ★ My Alexa for Amazon is in my tablet which is disconnected. Aje keeps telling me to create new account but all my credentials are are there. Tried getting help with security issues and just bounced back to my software.

1 ★ Edit: Got it working again, but when I ask to navigate somewhere Alexa will say okay but never switch to navigation screen and work. Really frustrating! Back to not working. Will not connect to sync.
