I haven't had much success with the Alexa app but rather I go to,
http://alexa.amazon.com/spa/index.html?ods_Email_Home_B_welcome_setup=
<http://alexa.amazon.com/spa/index.html?ods_Email_Home_B_welcome_setup=&ref_
=pe_2242090_213153970> &ref_=pe_2242090_213153970 and make my setting
changes there.
There I can turn various switches on among various other settings. You can
also find a list of commands you have given Alexa and delete them if you
want to.
Has anyone had any luck using the IOS app for Alexa?
