look like the app for alexa will be in for a major change.  will have a completely new look.   I hope there are widgets this time around.

Thanks for the heads up, both my iPhone and iPad have this new interface.  It is a significant face lift since the Devices and Smart Home tabs are gone from the main menu.  In their place is a button at lower right that is shaped like a Home with opposing USB cables in it.  Just tap this button and go explore the new interface.
