Several of Amazon’s partners have updated their apps today to add support for Alexa. This means that the company’s digital assistant can now be used to control Hulu, PlayStation Vue, and CBS All Access playback. Some other services have received support for this as well today. Users don’t have to fumble around with the remote anymore to control these services.
The Alexa Voice Remote, an Amazon Echo device, and even the Fire TV remote app can now be used to play, pause, rewind, fast-word, and search through content from Hulu, PlayStation Vue, CBS All Access, Bravo, NBC, and Showtime on Fire TV. It’s even possible to change the channel within the app.
For example, those who are subscribed to Hulu’s live streaming service can simply say “Alexa, go to ESPN,” and they will automatically be taken to the ESPN channel inside the Hulu app.
Same goes for other commands. Say “Alexa, rewind 10 minutes” and it will do just that. Say “Alexa, pause,” and by now you know what it’s going to do.
This is going to make watching your favorite content even easier. It’s particularly great for when we’re all feeling so lazy and don’t even want to get up from the couch to get the remote.

Many mobile app developers rely on in-app advertising to generate revenue. The vast majority of users put up with these ads if they are not particularly intrusive. However, many apps have started displaying shady lock screen ads recently and Google has finally decided to drop the banhammer on them. Such apps have now been banned from the Play Store.
Even popular apps like Peel, ES File Explorer, and Hotspot Shield VPN have relied on lock screen ads to generate revenue. These ads can be intrusive and aren’t really conducive to a good user experience.
Many have called on Google to address this problem and it’s finally doing that. The company has updated its developer monetization page to clearly highlight that unless the exclusive purpose of an app is that of a lockscreen, “apps may not introduce ads of features that monetize the locked display of a device.”
So apps that are described as file explorers, VPNs, camera apps, and more can no longer combine their major functions with that of a lock screen app that serves ads. To be clear, Google isn’t banning lock screen ads entirely. Developers still have the ability to create lock screen apps and they may serve ads as well.
