Don't buy it to use as a clock

Reviewed in Australia on 26 February 2020

Colour Name: Charcoal FabricVerified Purchase

No clock customization, basically useless as a clock compared to the Echo Show 5.

Do not buy this unless they update the clock and allow it to be made larger and with actual customization.

Great picture and screen size

Reviewed in Australia on 20 June 2020

Colour Name: Charcoal FabricVerified Purchase

Let's start with your expectations... If you currently own a Echo Show 5 and love it, then you will be disappointed.
If you don't own one, then you will imediately think this is great. Let's see why:

The Echo Show 5 and 8 are essentially the same looking unit, except of course the 8 is larger in every dimension, and it looks great. The screen is fantastic and responsive, the sound is awesome, enough said. The difference between the Show 5 and Show 8 from a user point of view has nothing to do with the hardware, but the software.

The Show 5 software works great as a bedside clock, so if you want a great tabletop clock get the Show 5, as the software revolves around this feature.
The Show 8 on the otherhand has the same software as the Show (10), and for the most part displays pretty useless information and totally wastes the large screen area that could be used for so much better use.

There is nothing wrong with this unit, it works great, and if you get it on special, it's even better, but amazon should be looking at these reviews and updating the software to allow the end user to select how and what gets displayed on the screen, and not think they know better. Anyway that's my two cents worth.

NO full screen clock makes the 8 worthless

Reviewed in Australia on 8 April 2020

Colour Name: Charcoal FabricVerified Purchase

Along with very many other customers I am extremely disappointed to find there is no full screen clock and the same customisation as the echo five. The only reason I tried the Amazon device is because they allowed linking to Microsoft Outlook calendars, and Apple Music, which Google home can’t do. Clearly Google is much better with searches and questions and looks much more modern and streamlined. Even the fonts and images on the Amazon device look old-fashioned and cheap. But the kicker is that it cannot be used As a full screen clock an I’m completely disappointed. I basically don’t want this device, I could probably make do with the five even though it’s essentially too small all over for my room, but it has a beautiful full screen clock (the plain green background is gorgeous) . Don’t buy this until Amazon decide to give us a very basic and practical “skill” with the full screen clock and the customisable backgrounds.

Clock function is inadequate

Reviewed in Australia on 28 February 2020

Colour Name: Charcoal FabricVerified Purchase

Bought this as a replacement for my Echo 5 thinking that screen size would mean bigger "everything". Problem is that the Clock function is not customizable and the clock size is too small.

If I had know this I would not have bought it and would have waited to see if the clock function was at least as good as the Echo five. At the moment it is not.

My recommendation don't buy it if you want a customizable clock that uses the full screen. Let's hope the programmers who wrote the code for this product fix it soon. If not I will be getting rid of it.

Nagging assistant needs to step back

Reviewed in Australia on 12 March 2020

Colour Name: Charcoal FabricVerified Purchase

Alexa could be so good but her constant harping on and on, with no way of stopping..Try Aleca where is the bank, Try Alexa show me the weather..after the first few days We GET IT but there is no way of turning it off..even putting nothing on the screen bar clock and temperature you still get the nagging running across the screen. It is my only complaint but will stop me buying anything more till this is addressed. Amazon have known about this for quite awhile, a world wide issue and nothing.
The wallpaper is great but while nagging along the bottom no way of finding where photo was taken. It will be more useful as time goes on but lose the suggestions.

Useless Kitchen Companion!

Reviewed in Australia on 27 February 2020

Colour Name: Charcoal FabricVerified Purchase

I had a great review when the Echo Show 8 came out. But after using it a while now I have found it is completely useless for the main requirement both advertised and what we want - a kitchen companion to help with recipes.

Any request for anything recipe related goes to the Taste skill with no ability to change, so I consider the garbage quality of how the Echo works with this skill valid for this review.

First, finding a recipe is fine, for instance ask "Alexa give me a recipe for tuna bake" will show some listings from Taste's site you can select by saying or clicking on screen. When you select a recipe though that is when the nightmare starts.

Alexa proceeds to read the entire ingredients, then wants to start reading all the steps. I DONT WANT THIS. I just want the ingredients up on screen with ability to then move to the steps when I want. There is no ability or way to have Alexa shut up, anything just closes the skill. If you switch between ingredients and steps just starts reading again.

Worst is you start preparing or cooking, turn around and the screen has "locked" or gone back to home and when you address Alexa it doesn't go back to where you were, opening Taste then gives option sometimes to resume to your previous recipe, after more forced dialogue, where you again then have to listen to all the crap from Alexa again. No options like "Alexa give me my last recipe" work, its just chance sometimes will state when opening Taste to go back to your previous.

Compare this to my phone. I google a recipe, get it on Taste loaded. At the worst if my phone times out and locks I unlock it and it is exactly where I was on the page. I'm not forced to listen to 10 seconds of inane pointless talking just to view my recipe, I don't have stupid voice that I can't stop reading out the whole thing.

Amazon advertise this as being for a kitchen, but its not, it doesn't work and if you want to use it for that purpose buy a cheap as anything android tablet, stick it to the wall and just lookup recipes on that.
