A:AnswerThis speaker is horrible, I have the same problem! Alexa will say the correct time, but the speaker will not display the correct time, daylight savings time. When you ask Alexa to set an alarm, she says the time you request but sets for a different time. I suggest you return yours!
A:AnswerGood question. You do not need a paid subscription to use iHeartRadio. On the other hand, you will need a paid Spotify subscription to stream Spotify on the iAVS16.
A:AnswerThe outside temperature is displayed on the left side of the clock under the WiFi icon. If you would like to complete weather forecast, ask Alexa.
