Connected devices with Amazon Alexa built-in have become the most sought-after products. It's the usefulness of their apps and skills that has captivated thousands of consumers, who see Amazon Alexa as a helper to make their daily routines much more convenient and fun.
On Amazon's website, you'll find thousands of skills available to install on your Alexa speaker, compatible with models in our Smart Speaker series. With these apps, you can, among other things: get the day's news highlights while you make breakfast; listen to music from your favorite playlist; play a story time for the kids before bed; or play Trivial Pursuit on Sunday afternoons with the family.
We're going to introduce you to some of the most downloaded skills in the categories that can help you the most in your daily life: music and relaxation. You can complement this list of skills with the other apps we've recommended in previous posts about featured skills with Amazon Alexa.
Best skills for listening to music
Want to discover new bands? If you don't know which one to start with, this skill uses the Spotify API to suggest songs that might interest you. You can request songs from any genre.
This isn't a skill as such, but rather a feature already built into Smart Speakers. To listen to music from your Spotify profile, you need to go to the Amazon Alexa app on your phone. Go to Settings, then Music & Media, and link your Spotify account. Tap Choose default music services and select Spotify.
Best relaxation and wellness skills at home
One of the best skills for scheduling ambient sounds for certain times of the day. It's designed to play relaxing meditation sounds during those moments when you need to calm your body and mind, for example, before bed.
This skill emits a constant sound that simulates a vibration at a specific frequency. "Almost without realizing it, you'll begin to relax and your brain will be primed for a moment of deep calm," according to the skill's description on the Amazon Alexa website.
For a 100% pleasurable experience, we recommend that you assume a comfortable position, either sitting or lying down. Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and allow that moment of relaxation to arrive.
With this skill, you'll increase your concentration with the sounds of rain, a stream, birds, or even a fireplace. Ideal for spending a relaxing afternoon at home.
