Amazon Echo gets iOS app

It's still hard to get Amazon's new voice-activated, cloud-connected Echo wireless speaker, but the company's now released an iOS app for iPhone and iPad users.


I recently reviewed the Echo, Amazon's new voice-activated, cloud-connected wireless speaker. As part of the review I noted that the Echo had launched with Android and Fire OS apps and that no iOS app was available. Well, that's not the case anymore, as an iOS Echo app has made its way into the App Store and is now available for download for free.
While you could always set up the speaker through a browser on an iPad or iPhone, the app is a good addition and arguably improves the Echo experience. I tested it briefly, setting up the speaker on a new Wi-Fi network through the app (on an iPhone), and it worked fine -- just like its Kindle iOS and Android counterparts.
