I've had my home address in the alexa app for months. I think they added that back in August. I can say "Alexa what's the weather like today?" and she says "In Newmarket it's blahblah"

Argggh. These devices are a fantastic opportunity to spend thousands of dollars on "Smart devices" which control your home. Light bulbs, outlets, switches, thermostats, sensors, door locks, LED wall panels, etc. Just a joy not to get out of my chair to flick a switch to turn something on or off. Or you can just enjoy the jokes.

Has anyone switched their Amazon.com account to Amazon.ca? I just did it so that I can track my .ca orders via the Alexa. I immediately noticed these differences in the US vs CA version of the app:

- deeper female voice
- voice training removed
- need to add back my flash briefing
- only 125 flash briefings to choose from

Wow, I'm shocked. The Canadian version of this app is much worse.

Yeah, did the switch too. Now I cannot upload my songs to Amazon and lot of skills doesn't work anymore (plex is an exemple). If I want to use alexa to control my music I need to pay instead of using my own library

Don't switch the entire account, you can simply switch the digital content store, follow the small link, it won't be asking to change your address.

My Amazon.ca account is still Canadian but my e-store is american and my echo works just fine now

(or vice versa)
