App needs work

So I tried to send this feedback through the Alexa app itself, but even that feature was broken.

The Echo is awesome -- like how you want Siri to work! The skills section is terrible, as other reviews have said, and the app for Our Groceries, which I use, doesnt work. Spotify is also fairly difficult to set up and I had to do some weird stuff (kill and restart the app, unlink and relink my account, etc.) to get it to work. The companion apps were a big reason why I got the Echo in the first place, so I hope they sort out bugs with these quickly.

I will say theyre rolling it out in such a way (pilot, then Prime members only) where they know there are issues they need to work through, and the nice thing about software and the cloud is you can update as you fix stuff, so my hope (and expectation) is you wont be seeing these 1- and 2-star reviews for long. The Echo and the Alexa app have HUGE potential, and Im definitely not sorry I bought it.
