You can do a lot with Alexa with respect to searching for movies etc. Also, Netflix is outstandingly accessible. It had an issue, but it was quickly fixed, actually faster than a similar issue when Apple had it with the sign in process. Anyway, I think the accessibility for apps is fairly comparable, at least for those I use. And there are definitely lots of things out there that I don’t use, so I can’t comment on all that. Mary
