  • Do not buy. You get charged and don’t get anything

    I paid the lifetime premium and didn’t get a remote.
    All I got was a pop-up of a page that says it’s scrolling but never goes anywhere and has no option or settings.
  • Pointless

    My fire tv remote stopped working and just started playing ads after not finding the remote. I downloaded this app to use and it only auto connects if you pay a subscription fee just for the remote app.
  • Waste of money & phone storage

    Originally got this app and liked it because it allowed me to use my watch. Found it kind of annoying that I had to use my phone to connect first, even after getting a data plan on my watch, but still thought it was worth the money for the premium version. Worked for a bit then started to get glitchy. Stopped working after a month and that was 2 years ago. Doesn’t even show up to connect and there hasn’t been an update since. Disappointed

  • Trash - Won’t Even Connect

    I’ve tried to connect to 2 different Fire Sticks (1 newer gen, 1 2-3 yrs old). I turned the debugging on and connected to the same network as instructed. Reset the Fire Sticks, the App, my phone, my router, everything I could think of doing, I did. And it just sits there trying to connect. And, the “app support” link in the App Store is broken. They want $10 for a lifetime purchase, which I was happy to pay for a remote that would let me use my watch, which is the only reason I was trying to find a non-Amazon remote app. But, don’t waste your time. The way this thing is setup, it encourages you to spend the money for the premium subscription before you even get it to connect. Trash company offering no support for a trash app. Change my mind, tell me where I’m wrong here?

  • Worthless for me

    I purchased this app, thinking it would replace my fire stick remote. However, my Firestick remote is broken so I cannot access the configuration required to setup this new remote. It would’ve been nice to have had a trial period to make sure it works.
  • Doesn’t work with Fire Tv, only Fire TV stick!

    I have a Fire TV device, like, an actual television that is fire tv, and this app does not work with it at all, even after following every single step in the instructions and in the troubleshooting. Don’t waste your money and stick to your fire tv app, until something good comes along for Apple Watch too.

  • I’m sure it works for some people…

    Unfortunately not for me. Devices are on the same network, followed the connection help instructions, rebooted all devices several times, still nothing. There doesn’t seem to be any companion app on the fire TV, my guess is either it works for you or it doesn’t.

    In my case, it just doesn’t.
  • Why?

    I don't see why you would use this app, when the fireTV app also can control your firestick
  • Very nice

    I lost my remote couldn’t watch anything to save the day
