Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was able to test the Echo Auto when it was by invitation only and have been using it since April 2019. I love using the Echo Auto, as it is a great assistant while driving. Asking Alexa to search GasBuddy for the cheapest gas nearby takes the frustration out of pulling over to look at the GasBuddy app. It works as it should, like a helpful passenger who can pull up the information you need and help you get there. Once Alexa finds the gas station, she can provide you with further details about the station or provide you with directions to the location. If I ask for directions, she seamlessly opens up my Google Maps and I’m on my way. This hands-free feature is very valuable to me, as I frequently drive in a great deal of traffic and I’m not always able to pull over to locate the information I need. She can help you locate restaurants, stores, and more. Of course, you can stream music and have her tell you jokes, but you can also listen to podcasts and create lists as you drive or wait in traffic. If you have other Echo devices at home, you can drop in on them or send an announcement! You can also make phone calls with the Echo Auto. I have a GPS program in my Jeep, but I refuse to pay to update the maps which are still not current with the new roads and construction. Between Echo Auto and your chosen map application, you can save the money, too. Just remember, you will be using the data plan on your phone for the services you use through Echo Auto. As a tech geek, I was excited to try the new product, but I was hesitant to think it would be as useful as I’ve found it. I’m happy to say that I’m very pleased with my purchase and think that it would be especially useful for anyone who has a long commute or is frequently in traffic.
