Users just need to plug their home address into the settings screen of the Alexa app to find results pop up on the Alexa app situated on the smartphone or tablet. Alexa taps into Yelp's huge database of suggestions to offer information about businesses based near the user's location. Echo users can tap into Local Search results for nearby businesses and easily see what options are available close by. To make the Yelp recommendations work, Amazon suggests using the local address in the Echo app. According to Amazon, it'll be adding more local search features in the coming weeks. Other new updates that hit the Amazon Echo include a new sports update feature, which will allow users to ask Alexa for the most up-to-date information about their favorite sports teams' games and schedules. The product got off to a rocky start in the beginning, but steady updates like this have added new features, like traffic reports, sports scores, and perhaps most interestingly, highly-adaptable IFTTT integration.
