Not impressed, sounds very basic.

Don't trust those voice command devices like Alexa, wouldn't have one given.

Too many privacy issues with this technology and all the manufacturers have admitted their equipment is listening and in some cases storing conversations.... and I’m not a conspiracy theorist lol

I can’t imagine anything more pointless. And as has been said, these devices are hardly secure.

 

[Paulbreen]

Secure or not if the manufacturer is listening to you not much you can do about it lol

We have a few Alexa devices, wouldn’t trust them to tell me my blood sugar but don’t really care if the manufacturer is listening in, they aren’t going to hear anything interesting!
