    I should have trusted all the poor reviews. It's slow, glitchy, and needs to be restarted all the time. I ended up returning it

      Hi Kwesi,

      We are sorry you are not enjoying your Echo Show 5 3rd Gen. To ensure your Echo Show 5 is functioning optimally, you can ask Alexa to check for software updates or check for those via your Alexa App. From there, make sure your router and wifi credentials are correct and in a space that does not block the signal to your device. If you need further assistance, you can call Amazon customer service, available 24/7 for assistance on the device. You can reach us at 1-888-280-4331!

      Hope that helps! AmazonDevices

    It’s really sad that Amazon has ruined a product by just forcing ads onto consumers regardless of the settings. I pay for Amazon prime, with no ads, and also Amazon Music along with Audible. They’re still forcing me to watch ads for products I could care less about.

      Hi! Thank you for sharing your frustration regarding the advertisements on your Echo Show 5. I understand how disappointing it can be to encounter promotional content despite being a subscriber to multiple Amazon services like Prime, Amazon Music, and Audible. There are several ways you can try to manage these display settings. You can start by using voice commands like "Alexa, turn off photo mode" or "Alexa, turn off background rotation" to reduce some promotional content. For more detailed customization, open the Alexa app, navigate to Devices > Echo & Alexa, select your Echo Show 5, and tap on "Home Content" to adjust what appears on your screen. For a simpler display, you can always say "Alexa, show me the clock" to switch to a basic clock face. If you want to completely remove advertising content, you may want to contact Amazon Customer Service at 1-888-280-4331, as some devices offer the option to remove special offers for a one-time fee. While these steps might not fully address your concerns about seeing ads as a Prime member, Amazon Customer Service can provide additional assistance and take note of your feedback regarding device features and content display.

    All Amazon Echo Shows have unremovable adds now. You can turn off all suggestion settings, and it will still show you an adds. There also no way to keep it on clock or pictures, it has to scroll. Went with the Echo Spot as a clock.

      Hello, onsowhat995. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review on the Echo Show 5. I recommend that if you want the Echo Show 5 to stay on the clock, open the settings, scroll to Home & Clock, and select Home Content. Then, select all of the selected-on settings and turn them off. If you are still having issues, I recommend reaching out to Amazon Customer Support 24/7 at 1-888-280-4331. I hope these steps are helpful. Have a great day! AmazonDevices
