Very nice to hear most of my favorite music. Only reason i did not give 5 stars is i could not retrieve a popular radio station in another city i wanted to listen to.

The only bad thing about Alexa is you have to down load apps for her to do things . She is getting smarter by the day as long as I put the apps in . But she is fun .

She tells jokes, controls my lights and music, sets alarms... I actually got it on sale soooo I think it's pretty worth it. Not sure if full price is a good deal or not.
