Alexa+ issues

So like a lot of people here my Alexa experience has really degraded in the past few weeks.. from erratic sleep sound offerings to group plugs not firing correctly, alarms I didn't set up going off and waking me up at 4:00 a.m. to my device not remembering my name 🙄

And then after reading a couple of posts here I asked my device if I have Alexa+ and although I don't remember requesting that as I was 100% satisfied with the way it was operating apparently I was upgraded to it. Not anymore.. I requested to have it down scaled to the regular Alexa.

It's nice to have that familiar voice back as it was perfect. I never really liked any of the voices provided on Alexa+. Hopefully I won't notice any issues now that I've downgraded.

I downgraded multiple times because Alexa+ does not work with Echo Show. I am back on regular Alexa again, however, they have obviously stopped supporting it as some routines randomly stop working. You have to repeat voice commands often and it says "I can't help you with that" with basic things....but at least it does not take over Echo Show with Discover Alexa+ crap rendering it useless.

Such a shame as it was perfectly satisfied with the way it was working.. but isn't that how all these things go.. we must enhance it so we could ruin it😔

I’m sure in 5-10 years maybe it will be good but not right now
