Allow echo show screen to be controlled from Alexa app without voice command
Being able to change an echo show's screen brightness remotely via the Alexa app or routine. Having to ask the display to turn off at night is awkward and frustrating. Maybe implementing screen dimming or screen off on a routine or as part of the device control within the Alexa app

Language (Skill Language vs Device Language)
There are three places where we set the Language.
1) When the developer builds an Alexa Skill.
2) The Device settings.
3) Skill Distribution Option - Where would you like this skill to be available? * In all countries and regions where Amazon distributes skills?Problem: "I developed my skills in English (US) then my Alexa Echo Dot --> language --> English (US). Things are working fine." My Skill got Certified. Now I see there is English (IN). If my change my Alexa Echo Dot --> language --> English (IN). I am not able to Play my Skill. I am…

Display answers for skill reviews in the Alexa App
Currently users can vote for a skill and give a short review (sometimes with questions, sometimes faulty operations or the rating means another skill). As developer/or user you can answer to this review on amazon.com/de/co.uk etc.
But it isn't displayed in the Alexa App! Nobody can see it except on the website. But only very few users know that3 votes -
Operate Alexa from an external application.
I would like to be able to create skills to call users by using external applications as keys instead of waking up words.

Calendar Notifications - Support multiple echo devices
Right now, calendar notifications can only be sent to one echo device, but I want to send the notifications to several echo devices. Please implement a list of echo devices with a toggle per device to enable or disable Calendar notifications.

default settings for smart devices within a group
When turning on a group the lights and other devices within the group are the same when switched off. Would be useful to have a "defaults" area where we can set the defaults. At the moment I have a routine called "office chill" which makes the light blue (among other things), then I say "turn the office off", but then when I say turn office on its still blue. Would want it to be white. I have a bunch of custom routines like "office on" but would be nice to have default option, ideally for all device options.

EXCEEDED_MAX_REPROMPTS/SessionEndedRequest device type inconsistencies
EXCEEDEDMAXREPROMPTS/SessionEndedRequest does not behave on the Show appropriately - in fact it does not happen at all!
Makes SessionEndedRequest useless and means you can't code for a timeout to end the session and do cleanup then. The API should perform identically on all devices, or at the VERY LEAST the docs should articulate the differences

Trigger profile based on voice profile
If Alexa can tell who is speaking based on the voice profile, why cant it run routines for that user. Currently if my Alexa is on my profile my wife cant run her routines without having to ask Alexa to swtich profile

Add Custom Text and Branded Button to Account Linking Successfully Linked Page
Alexa Account Linking should allow the developer to add some text, a button (color and text), and URL to the "Successfully Linked" page so user's can continue to a settings page after linking accounts.

location based skill recommendation
It'll be amazing if we can have location based skill recommendation. e.g.
When saying "Find San Francisco skills", it will recommend related local skills for me2 votes -
Skill Cards should appear at first if you open the Alexa App
Since the new Alexa App update you have to go unter 'activities' to view the cards. This definitely harms UX since users have to first find this view and always have to navigate there. Many skills require quick user access to card resources which now suffer from the new changes. Right now if you open the Alexa App you just get the weather info and some recommendations what to say to Alexa. This does not to be very time critical information you want to get on startup of the app.
I would appreciate some opinions on this topic from other…2 votes -
Skill Marketplace Icon At Bottom Of Alexa App To Get Skills More Visibility In One Click
Skill Marketplace Icon In The Bottom Of Alexa App Needed
I think the skill marketplace needs a one touch icon at bottom of Alexa app to get to the skills marketplace section, right now there are too many steps to find new skills in the app.
Having an icon at the bottom of the Alexa app would mean more exposure to skills.
The way things are right now it requires far to many steps to go to the marketplace.
Skills also need to have the ability to have feedback left on them by voice, the way feedback and reviews have…

kindle fire groups
I would love the ability for my HD8 and other fire tables to be part of the group function within the app. This will allow for control over firesticks with a tablet as well as group tablets in music and room functions such as being able to say turn off lights in a room. I have tablets mounted in every bedroom in our house and unfortunately am missing these features

Locales and Language Settings
Under the language settings options, you have a Remove button but when I try to remove from a locale that is already published I get a non-descript error saying unable to save. Amazon launched my skill to a locale I did not want, and now I have a lot of problems because of it. I should be able to remove a singular locale, especially if Amazon launched to it without my consent.

permission card
Make cards, specifically permissions cards, more prominent in the app.
Right now if a skill sends a permissions card, the user kinda needs to know where in the app to look for that card. I seem to recall that in older versions of the app, the cards (and other skill activity) was more prominent and maybe even displayed on the home screen when opening the skill. Now I must know to navigate to "More" and then "Activity" to see the cards.

Add ability for a user to remove a skill
Previously when a user disabled a skill, if they then said the invocation name, Alexa would say, "You previously disabled the skill; do you want to re-enable it?"
Currently, there is no way for a user to "start fresh" with a Skill that has content previous stored in DynamoDB or another database

I need help with Alexa implementation.
That is, I want Amazon.searchQuery to return results from Alexa so that the user can respond based on the results.
The conversation should continue.
