The things you can ask her are unlimited as long as you download the program you want into the echo app. But there are so many too go through not 100% sure what's good and what's not

Great device to have in your household. Ask Alexa the weather or sports scores, even turn on/off lights. Love it.

Alexa is very entertaining and provides a plethora of information at the sound of your voice. I must say, however that SIRI is more personable. I hope Alexa loosens up as time goes on.

It's nice to be able to tell Alexa what you need from wherever in the house and the Echo takes care of it. Sports uodates, news, music, etc all with your voice. Very convenient.
