Is Alexa available in my area?

What can Alexa do for me?

There are many queries regarding your shopping that Alexa can answer and it also makes it really easy to place a reorder. It is also capable of making all the searches that you would normally make on the internet and this is all done by voice commands. There have been apps that have been available previously which supported Alexa but this app is the first that has been officially developed by Amazon.
