Smart Portable Speaker with screen compatible with Alexa built-in, Grey

I saw the other reviews and I wanted to give a more “family” oriented review for this device. I bought the Triby because I wanted to have more interaction with my young children (aged 4 and 6). Since we added this to the kitchen, it has become a huge attraction to them. The children love making drawings and send these to the device. They also love to call me (their father) or their mother using the very simple buttons. For example, they can call me when I am not at home for dinner and I can participate while they are sitting at the table. I can hear everyone perfectly, even though the device is some 2 meters away from them. I like it because it is not another “screen”, yes my children could also reach me using an iphone or an ipad but we don’t want them to use these devices too much. Triby is just perfect for improving family communication and at the same time decreasing exposure to more screens.By the way the Triby is also a very good quality speaker. Streaming any radio station in the world via internet radio. I did not have any problems with the radio and we exclusively use Iphones in the family - so it works great for us. It may look expensive but given that it can replace a home phone, an internet radio, a good connected speaker, it seems a bargain.

This is an excellent device in principle. But it is flawed by poor software, both the app that you are required to download, and the device itself.I downloaded the app and connected via bluetooth per the instructions. I then attempted to connect it to wifi. It will only use the connection your phone is set to, and will not work on a 5 ghz router. You must change to 2.4 ghz to expect the internet radio to work. But, although the radio said I had a connection, it simply refused to play internet radio. I tried a number of stations but none would play. There is no way to control the radio on the radio itself. You can only use the app on your phone.This is a great shame because if the radio had worked as it shows on the video on their web site, it would be worth the money. What is not clear is why it is priced at £159 in the UK, and $85 in the USA.

....when they brought it up at the board meeting. In reality, for me., it's flawed.The cons:# The description continually mentions your 'smartphone'. What they actually mean is iphone as Android doesn't work. How they can release this without Android support is amazing. Hence lots of the features do not work.# I have an ipad so downloaded the app to that. Got it up and running but of course the phone function does not work.# The radio stations don't work [well not for me]. Tried for ages.# The design, which I assume is very hip, is more Early Learning Centre although I realise this will be fine for little people. The plastic coloured 'bumper' around the outside is not a tight fit so looks a bit cheap.The pros:# We have Spotify Premium and this works well and displays the track info etc.# The sound is very good and fills the kitchen with music. Excellent.# Sticks to the fridge very securely, difficult to knock off although it gives the appearance of being robust, if it was dropped onto the tiles I feel it would break.To sum up:1. A great idea for the family kitchen2. No Android support is plain daft and they should make this much more prominent. Therefore the phone and 'doodle' function don't work.3. The radio stations don't work and having to have the charging cable attached as an arial is mad when the thing is stuck to the fridge with no charging point nearby.4. The sound is very good but our Bluetooth speaker system is just as good.So, nice idea, good try, come back when you've worked it out.C+

I bought at the at launch from the amazon US website. Generally the product works fine at the beginning. One day it hang and won't reboot and i had to wait until the battery died. I emailed their support. No reponse. And now there is a problem with the yellow flag - it appears stuck. So there is no notification and since you cannot press on it, the app won't know if the receiver has read the message. Invoxia does not have phone line support. I emailed them a week ago and got an automated response and nothing since then. I am still stuck with the problem with no help what so ever.-----------------Eventually got reponses from their support team - they are apologetic. They helped to solved the problem.--------------Hopefully the experience will get better. Anyway my daughter calls me on it every day. She used to use her ipad for facetime but this is so much easier with a single button (she is five).

I bought this for our holiday rental and have been trying it out at home first. Found it extremely useful, both to use for internet radio and for its contact buttons. I have also used it as a speaker (through bluetooth) for calls (normal and Skype) made through my mobile. The visual message facility is cute too.

Triby is a lovely family oriented product: replacing the home telephone, connecting to music or radio, messaging - everyone can do it.A great gadget for parents looking to contact the kids without having the need for mobile phones.

La calidad del audio es suficiente, pero no sobresaliente. En ambientes con eco, si lo usas como manos libres no te escuchan tan bien.El servicio de Alexa, no es tan bueno ya que muchas veces no se enciende cuando dices "alexa", además de tener que estar conectada para que sirva realmente como alexa, de lo contrario tienes que presionar el boton para acceder al servicio.No hay botón de BACK o NEXT para las canciones, por lo que si configuraste un playlist de spotify, siempre tienes que escuchar el mismo orden y no hay opción de shuffle.La calidad del acabado sin el skin de color, es horrible.Solo soporta autenticación por WEP y no WEP2 (Detalle menor)Para las llamadas, si estas en la misma red lan, no funciona (detalle menor)Por otro lado, la batería dura muy bien (pero esta el tema de alexa).

le produit est solideSimple à utiliserLe concept est vraiment utile et novateur pour rester facilement en contact avec sa maison et ses occupantsLa qualité audio est impeccable.Je pensais que le produit était limité seulement à deux radios et deux contacts mais pas du tout , il est possible d'en mémoriser beaucoup plus.Le produit aurait été moins cher , j'en aurai offert à toute ma famille !!!

1. Ich habe meinen Triby selbst bezahlt; diese Bewertung ist also ehrlich.2. "Unser Triby" hat sich zu einem wichtigen Kommunikationsmittel entwickelt:Alles funktioniert "kinderleicht', ist also auch für Technik-Muffel leicht zu verstehen;die Symbole sind eindeutig und einfach zu erkennen - auch ohne Lesebrille.3. Das Empfangen von Nachrichten ist ebenso leicht zu begreifen wie Radiohören und Telefonieren.4. Das Einrichten des Gerätes ist für Smartphone-Benutzer kein Problem. Auch an diesem Punkt muss man kein "Technik-Experte" sein - ich hab's jedenfalls problemlos geschafft.5. Am Kühlschrank hält das Gerät prima. Das Gerät steht nicht im Weg, fällt nicht um oder ins Spülbecken. Für uns ist es das optimale Küchenradio.6. Der Akku meldet auch an das gekoppelte Handy, wenn er aufgeladen werden muss.7. Von unterwegs - ganz vorsichtig und erst mal leise! - das Radio für die Daheimgebliebenen einzuschalten, weil gerade die Lieblingsmusik gespielt wird, macht Freude. Meistens kommt die Antwort anschließend direkt per Telefontaste.8. Alle Funktionen findet man auch in anderen Geräten. Aber in dieser Zusammenstellung und imit dieser einfachen Bedienung bietet der Triby wirklich etwas Besonderes: kinderleichte Kommunikation auch für Technik-Muffel.

Wonderful for my daughter who loves Alexa and loves music. I am a huge Echo fan and have one echo and one dot. i liked the idea of alexa for my daughter. One fantastic feature is the programmable call buttons. Simply install the App on your phone and with one button touch your kids can call your cell phone, no matter where you are. You can also call them. My daughter uses it now instead of asking her mom to call me on the cell, she just pushes the button. It's in our kitchen and is now our source of music and alexa. The battery life is not great so we leave it plugged in all the time. I am planning on using it outside at next summers BBQ's. I had a few issues with the first unit, but the customer support was AMAZING, the simply shipped me a new unit and I shipped back the other one... all the way to France. They were very helpful and after a few emails with Nate :) I was up and running again. If your looking for a great way to let your little ones start using Alexa, and believe me they love it, this is the product. Great build quality, simple to use and fantastic customer support gives it 5 stars.

Nachdem ich im ganzen Haus bereits ein Amazon Echo und zwei Amazon Dot verteilt habe, kam ich dich Fall auf dieses Produkt der Fa. Invoxia. Die Lieferung war wie immer zügig durch Amazon. Der Preis von 149,00 Euro war meiner Meinung nach angemessen. Ein schmales Paket mit minimalem Zubehör. Der Lautsprecher selber, ein USB Kabel und ein dünnes Heftchen als Bedienungsanleitung in Englisch. Die Einrichtung ist allerdings wirklich nicht schwierig. Man sollte jedoch zuerst die App runterladen. Die Verbindung mit der Alexa App ist wirklich simpel und das Einrichtungsprogramm der App leitet auf deutsch durch den Anmeldevorgang. Wenn man den Triby an einen genügend großen "Klangkörper befestigt hat man auch einen satten basslästigen Sound. Die Spielerei mit dem Display auf welchem man Nachrichten hinterlassen kann und wenn man einen zweiten Triby hat auch Sprachnchrichten über VoIP senden kann ist ganz witzig. Auf Zuruf wie Alexa Rot funktioniert das Gerät nur wenn es am Ladegerät angeschlossen ist. Im Akkubetrieb muss man einen Knopf drücken um die Sprachsteuerung zu aktivieren. Leider ist das Gerät jetzt nach 7 Wochen defekt. E-Mails an die Fa. Invoxia bleiben unbeantwortet. Das ist natürlich sehr bedauerlich. Zumal der Preis mittlerweile auf 200 Euro gestiegen ist. Ich werde mir nun einen zweiten Amazon Echo kaufen. Der ist nicht nur billiger, sondern wertiger in der Verarbeitung und auch einfacher in der Bedienung. Und nach 6 Monaten laufen die drei Geräte immer noch einwandfrei... Zum Kauf raten des Triby kann ich wirklich nicht...
