Dot To Dot

If you're a blind ham, then you may well like this skill sent in by first time contributor and all-round star; Georgina Joyce. If you're not, but you do have a forgiving sense of humour, then you may well be able to take meagre consolation from a few jokes I've sprinkled at the start.Feedback, comments, demos pleas to ✉️ thedottodotpodcast@gmail.com

Boy this one's soporific. I'd like to write more about it, but…Feedback, comments, demos pleas to ✉️ thedottodotpodcast@gmail.com

Once again Tiffany Black (@1modernmonster on the Twitters) is back with a fab demo to help us keep our cool under heated circumstances. And don't forget that you can ask the A-lady to convert units, weights, measures,currencies and all other kinds of novel numerical scales to one from another too. Thus I know that 91°F is, in fact, a rather warmish 32.78°C.Feedback, comments, demos pleas to ✉️ thedottodotpodcast@gmail.com

Every one's a winner in this excellent skill that serves up jokes from national newspaper; the Daily Star.Feedback, comments, demos pleas to ✉️ thedottodotpodcast@gmail.com

This is either super-creepy or super-tingley depending upon your, er, autonomous sensory meridian response.Feedback, comments, demos pleas to ✉️ thedottodotpodcast@gmail.com

What two numbers, when multiplied together are 1 and when added together are 2? That's about my level - although I do manage to squeeze out a few harder ones in today's mind-mangling skill.Feedback, comments, demos pleas to ✉️ thedottodotpodcast@gmail.com

Hey, Tiffany Black (@1modernmonster on the Twitters) is back. She's kindly provided me with this fab quiz demo which means I won't need to wait and wait untill it wends its way to the UK. Feedback, comments, demos pleas to ✉️ thedottodotpodcast@gmail.com

The A-lady here in the UK needs to be sat down and shown how to pronounce 'SAT' correctly - that will 'buttress' her understanding of English acronyms, that's for sure.Feedback, comments, demos pleas to ✉️ thedottodotpodcast@gmail.com

This video-playing skill (that also gives you audio for Echos without a screen) serves up mostly Spanish but some English and French TV channels - 67 in all. Don't forget, there's also the excellent Stream Player skill too. Feedback, comments, demos pleas to ✉️ thedottodotpodcast@gmail.com

Lucky the leprechaun needs our help to bring back the magic. Are you less than, say, 8 years of age and extremely plucky? Good, then let's go.Feedback, comments, demos pleas to ✉️ thedottodotpodcast@gmail.com

Today we're taking another look at the excellent Potter Letters skill from Drew Cosgrove (animal.letters@gmail.com and @DrewCosgrove on the Twitters) who, for whatever reason, has renamed his skill thus from the original 'Harry Potter Letters'. Still as magical as ever, though.Feedback, comments, demos pleas to ✉️ thedottodotpodcast@gmail.com

Wow! This skill sounds complicated but, if you like being an audio-only version of James Bond (possibly even with an imaginary Lotus and a PP9 in your acoustic armpit) then this skill might be for you.Feedback, comments, demos pleas to ✉️ thedottodotpodcast@gmail.com

Ever lost your phone around the house? Well the A-lady can help with that, as well as being able to call landlines and mobiles free of charge too. Absolutely brilliant.Feedback, comments, demos pleas to ✉️ thedottodotpodcast@gmail.com

Not so much hypnosis here as a set of soothing and soperiphic sounds to send you swiftly to sleep.Feedback, comments, demos pleas to ✉️ thedottodotpodcast@gmail.com

Today's skill serves up some really nice-sounding meditations to soothe you to sleep or get you grounded. Groovy.Feedback, comments, demos pleas to ✉️ thedottodotpodcast@gmail.com

There's been some useful updates to the A-lady app. The hamburger menu is now 'More' at the bottom right. Find shortcuts to frequently used (and recently used) skills and features at the top of the home screen. There's also more personalized suggestions for skills and features you might enjoy. Scroll through the homepage, and see what else the A-lady has to offer. You can also ask her to block songs with explicit lyrics - on Amazon Music at least.Feedback, comments, demos pleas to ✉️ thedottodotpodcast@gmail.com
