Summary
The Alexa app has undergone a recent UI overhaul that has made managing shopping lists more difficult for users. As a result, the author, who has used Alexa for years, has switched to Apple's Reminders app and Siri for list management. The redesign has made the process irritating, despite the author's previous satisfaction with the convenience of using Alexa across multiple devices.
