Doesn’t Support Apple Music
Zigamorph
This would be a solid 4 star app if it supported Apple Music via Alexa. This app seems to only support the basics and whoever Toyota has an agreement with. Which seems to exclude Spotify and Apple Music.
Android to Apple

I had the Galaxy S7 and this app worked great in my new ‘19 Camry. It would connect flawlessly via Bluetooth and I could ask Alexa to play my music from Amazon Music Unlimited. But now I switched over to Apple iPhone XR and find out the Toyota Alexa app isn’t compatible on my new XR. AND Siri won’t listen to your commands to play Amazon Music even though Amazon Music is in Apple CarPlay. I guess I’ll be switching over to Apple Music and just get used to plugging the phone in to USB every time.
iPhone compatible

Really hoping there will soon be access for us in other vehicles... was deceiving when I saw the app in my 2019 Avalon...only to find out it wouldn’t work for me
Useless

Indicates it does not detect an iPhone X max on 2019 Toyota Sienna. You need to update if that is the problem since you promote it’s use
It works ... infrequently

I bought a brand new, fully loaded RAV4 Limited, and I was initially excited that I could use Alexa in my vehicle. I am still waiting for my license plates, and I have already given up on the Toyota+Alexa app. It is rare that I am able to use Alexa- usually when I announce her name, nothing happens. When she does respond with “listening...” she does not hear my command. Sometimes...unfortunately infrequently, it works. But so rarely that I have given up on it. For such a quiet hybrid car, you would think Alexa would be a welcome addition - but the frustration is too much. I no longer even try.
Works - sort of

I have a 2019 RAV4 and was very excited to see the Alexa app. I have been more than a bit frustrated trying to get it to work consistently. What I found is that after starting the car I have to unload and reload the app to get it to work. It appears to be a problem with the microphone - it requires a reload in order to work. If I use the phone I have the same problem - after ending the call I have to unload/reload the app to get it to work again. Once reloaded it works fine - until someone calls or I restart the vehicle. This is something that one would think could be fixed, but apparently it is not a very high priority. Hey Toyota - making this work smoothly may help you sell more cars - if that’s important to you.

Tried on my 2019 toyota hatchback but to my experience the app always crashes. Need more improvement and i will wait for the final fix, I still prefer Siri on my Iphone.
