What owners report

  • “i use mine for a smart home dashboard, it also shows to do lists, shopping lists the weather and a photo stream that i update with new photos of family all the time. [...] it also shows security cameras. [...]”

  • “Maybe it is not what you're looking for, but Fire TV, included within the Echo Show 15, is pretty snappy. All my TVs have Apple TVs connected, but my Echo Show 15 in the kitchen does a fine job of plating YouTube TV, so I can watch shows and sports while I cook.”

  • “i have been getting softweare photos duplicated 5 years over 3 devices and technical support is not understanding even when ive sent pictures videos and the device reset factory reset and new software updates nothing fixed”

    “I had the 15 inches echo show, I liked many features it have , but I took it down, because too many ads, every minute, that bothers me so bad, I paid near $300 for a photo frame and weather, but not as advertisement display,”

    “I have issues with my echo show 15 and Amazon customer service is no help so I was hoping maybe you might know how to solve my problem. As of several days ago my Show 15 won’t stay on the Home Screen. After 20 seconds it launches Photo Frame. I’ve given up trying to get it to stop since nothing works - factory reset, latest software, no Routines triggering it. I even gave customer support remote access to my device and they couldn’t fix it. [...] However I cannot change the length of time photos are displayed. They only stay on screen for 10 seconds. The setting to change the speed doesn’t affect Photo Frame. [...]”
