Reverb for Amazon Alexa\u00a0is an app (available on iOS, macOS, and Android), that puts Alexa inside your devices. You will need an Amazon account for the app to work, and it is capable of sending your requests to Alexa, and even working with the Alexa app, in order to allow you to see response cards, timers, and more. If you\u2019ve enabled skills on your Amazon Echo, they will automatically work with Reverb, as well. Simply follow the steps below to get started with Alexa on your favorite devices:<\/p>\n[ad type=\u201dbanner\u201d]\n
- \n
- Download Reverb for Amazon Alexa\u00a0<\/strong>from the\u00a0Play Store<\/a><\/strong><\/span>,\u00a0iTunes<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, or the\u00a0App Store<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, and install it.<\/li>\n
- When you launch the app, you will have to\u00a0sign in<\/strong>\u00a0before you can use Alexa on your devices.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

<\/p>\n- \n
- Once that is done, you\u2019ll be taken to the main interface of the app. You can\u00a0simply tap and hold<\/strong>\u00a0(or click and hold on a Mac), to get Alexa to listen to you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
![\"How](\"https:\/\/www.wikitechy.com\/technology\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/listening.png\")
<\/p>\n- \n
- After you\u2019ve spoken the command out, simply\u00a0let go of the button<\/strong>, and Alexa will start processing it, and provide you with the appropriate response.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

<\/p>\n[ad type=\u201dbanner\u201d]\nJust like on the Echo, you can\u00a0get Reverb to perform all of the things that the Echo can do; and\u00a0if you\u2019ve enabled any Skills in your Alexa app, they will work via Reverb<\/strong>, as well. The\u00a0Reverb app on Android comes with a hamburger menu, that has options for getting help with using the app, as well as\u00a0section that displays your alarms and timers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
![\"How](\"https:\/\/www.wikitechy.com\/technology\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/timers-and-alarms.png\")
<\/p>\nWhile the Timers and Alarms feature works on the iPhone version of the app, as well, there is no dedicated section to view it. On an iPhone, you will have to launch the Alexa companion app to view your timers, and alarms.<\/p>\n
![\"How](\"https:\/\/www.wikitechy.com\/technology\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/iphone.png\")
<\/p>\nThe\u00a0Reverb\u00a0app on the Mac is even more watered down<\/strong>. You just sign in, and you can click and hold on the button to speak. The commands are processed when you let go of the mouse, and Reverb provides the appropriate response. However, there is no other option in the app, and you will have to completely rely on the Alexa\u00a0website<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0to view your timers, alarms,\u00a0shopping lists and more.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nOther Apps to Get Alexa on Your Devices<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n
There are a number of other apps that you can use to get Alexa on your devices. Especially on an iPhone you can use apps like\u00a0Ava<\/strong>\u00a0(iOS<\/a><\/strong><\/span>),\u00a0Astra<\/strong>\u00a0(iOS<\/a><\/strong><\/span>) and more\u00a0to get Alexa working. Unfortunately, there aren\u2019t a lot of options for the same, when it comes to Android devices (Alexa Listens\u00a0is one that is available for\u00a0free<\/a><\/strong><\/span>), and Macs. Reverb is still possibly the best way to go about getting Alexa working on your iPhone, Mac, or Android device,\u00a0allowing you to use it as a remote Amazon Echo.<\/p>\n[ad type=\u201dbanner\u201d]\n
Use Alexa on Your\u00a0iPhone, Mac, and Android Devices<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n
With apps like Reverb, that put the power of Alexa on your portable devices, you can easily use your iPhone, or Android device as a portable Amazon Echo, and since Reverb integrates seamlessly with\u00a0everything that you\u2019ve enabled in the Alexa app with your Amazon Echo,\u00a0you can\u00a0use every single\u00a0Alexa Skill that you want to use, directly from your phone. This can come in exceptionally handy, if you\u2019re out and about, and need to\u00a0ensure that the lights in your living room are off. Simply pull your phone out, and ask Alexa to turn off the living room lights, and it will do it. There are a lot more use cases for having a portable Amazon Echo in your pocket, and if you\u2019re a heavy user of Alexa, you\u2019ll definitely find these apps useful, as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
