Very convenient, but with aggravating flaws
1) the “add item” and “>” buttons on the “compact” versions of lists don’t work anymore. They don’t do anything. I miss them.
2) when I am using my Alexa list for grocery shopping, Alexa seems to go to sleep and revert back to the home screen. Then, I have to navigate back to my shopping list.

Alexa should just stay on the list that I’ve chosen until I tell Alexa, I’m done with the list.
3) Alexa app has no functionality off-line at all.

I just opened a story that looked interesting. The article opened long enough for me to read the first sentence, but then the article was overlaid with an opaque banner saying “to continue reading, purchase a subscription to [so-and-so online publication]”. I don’t mind if an online news service expects m
