Reverb allows you to interact with Alexa from anywhere. Via Alexa, Reverb answers questions, reports traffic and weather, gives info on local businesses, provides sports scores and schedules, and more using the Alexa Voice Service. Reverb now uses Alexa v2, which adds support for timers, alarms, long form audio, audiobooks, and more.
- Now you can use Amazon's Alexa virtually anywhere you want using Reverb, the new free app from Rain Labs. The app connects to Amazon Echo services and allows you to use Alexa through your Mac.
- A free app called Reverb brings Amazon Alexa voice assistant to iPhone, iPad, Mac and Android devices. We have all the details and download links in one place. Experience Alexa on Your Mobile.
Amazon Alexa is everywhere nowadays. It's on your fridge, in your coffee maker – heck, it practically owns your home at this point. But in one of the most likely of places (your office), the voice assistant is probably absent and is instead replaced with Microsoft's Cortana or Apple's Siri.
For Mac users, you're stuck with Siri which, by the way, isn't all that it's cracked up to be, especially on the desktop. And believe me, anyone will agree if they've used a second virtual assistant before. It's rather slow, it's not exactly feature-packed, and it's really limited in terms of what it can do to get you through the day. So for those who may own an Amazon Echo or have used one before, they may wish they had Alexa on their Mac. Well folks, as is the case with many out-of-the-ordinary wishes, there's an app for that.
Reverb App For Computer
Specifically, the app is called Reverb for Amazon Alexa, and it's available not just for Mac but also iPhone and iPad. It allows you to access Alexa through an interface that resembles an Echo and supports third-party Skills, smart home control, and more.
Once downloaded and installed, Reverb will require you to punch in your Amazon account credentials in order for the app to learn more about you. You'll also have access to services and Skills you've already connected to Alexa on one of your other devices. In addition, Alexa v2 is being used in this case, enabling more functions such as news flashes, alarms, timers, audiobooks, and more.

Unfortunately, music control isn't supported due to Amazon placing restrictions in the way of accessing their Music services within third-party apps, but you still have all the other functions of Alexa nonetheless.
If you wanna give Reverb a test run and experience Alexa for yourself, you're in luck as the app is available for free for the Mac here and iOS devices here.
