TRANSCRIPT · AUTO-GENERATED

Hey guys, Robin here. Now today we are going to look at two fish related skills. One for fish owners and it's called Fish Feeder because we'll know it's bad news if you overfeed your fish and if you're either forgetful or there are several people that feed the fish it's really useful to keep track on whether they've been fed today. So the first one does just that it's called Fish Feeder desperately needs sound effects though.

Anyway, another. So open Fish Feeder. Welcome to Fish Feeder. I will keep track of your fish feeding schedules.

Will you feed your fish now? Help. Fish Feeder keeps track of your fish feeding schedules. Have you ever been unsure of when you last fed the fish?

Do you share the fish feeding task with more than one family member and are unsure if somebody has already fed the fish? If so, you can use this skill, Fish Feeder, to keep track of when you last fed the fish. Note, this skill is only a tracker app. It does not feed the fish for you.

Now, every time you feed the fish, just say Alexa, tell Fish Feeder I fed the fish. If it has been more than 24 hours since the fish were fed, Fish Feeder will ask you if you are going to feed the fish. Fish Feeder will recall the time you feed the fish. If you are not sure whether the fish have been fed, say Alexa, open Fish Feeder.

Fish Feeder remembers when you last fed the fish. It will tell you how many minutes, hours, or days of past since the fish will last fed. This skill is useful with multiple family members, especially if you are in and out of the house during the day. As long as everyone in your household uses this skill, you will always be able to know if the fish have been fed.

This skill will work with multiple Alexa devices, as long as the devices are registered under the same Amazon account. You can also register under different accounts if you wish to keep track of separate fish. If you are away from the house and have a house sit at that feeds your fish, you can keep track of when they last fed the fish. Never they use this skill, an entry will appear in your Alexa app.

If you find this skill useful, please leave this skill an honest review on your Alexa skills website or Alexa app. It would help us to promote this in other skills that we are working on. If you have any suggestions, comments or questions, please email us at skillfeedback at gmail.com. Now, are you going to feed the fish?

Say yes, no, or help? Yes. Ok, you fed the fish. I will make a note of it.

If you forgot when you fed the fish, you can ask me later. Ok, so we have again a Alexa open fish feeder. Your fish was last fed just seconds ago. It is probably not hungry.

It is all day because fish is singular or plural. When you say the word fish often enough, it starts to sound really weird. Cool, so that is that skill. Oh, and by the way, you could use a routine to change the phrase so it could be a lady, I fed the fish.

Or a lady who has fed the fish and then you could have that as the phrase. Rather than saying ask fish feeder when we are the fish last fed. Something like that. Cool, fish feeder.

Now, the next one is something we have covered before hundreds and hundreds of episodes ago. It is a screen saver for echos with a screen but it gives you a nice bubbly sound effect for those that have not seen. You just get the sound track basically but it has been updated and I will tell you how in a second when we hear the bubbly sounds a like open fish tank. Welcome to Fish Tank.

HD with super long looping can only be accessed on a device with a screen. Would you like to try HD now? No. Ok, here is 5 minutes of the fish tank.

Ok, so if this was an echos with a screen you would have the lovely fish in their little tank. So that was the updated said HD with super long looping. So I don't know if the echos show screens are HD anyway. I suppose if you had a fire stick and this was on a big screen TV maybe, don't know.

But anyway, there you go. This is now an in skill purchase for iDeaf and a super long loop of an hour or more. I remember now, fish tank on echos without a screen. This is all you get.

And there is a million skills that can do this. But anyway, that's the end of our fish eat episode guys. We will speak again tomorrow. Feedback comments demos.
