Updates

Updates are useless

Remote updates messed up

Very bad experience with new update, not a user friendly update there is no forwarding or backwards , wasting time to navigate

If It’s Not Broke Don’t Fix It

Ever since they did their update on the app Oct 2026, my app doesn’t work anymore. “If it’s not broke, don’t fix it”.. super annoyed because my iPhone is the only way I can use my FireStick.

Very Disappointed User

Very Disappointed. Because of physical limitations, I use iPhone voice control with this app. Prior to the latest update I was able to use all buttons (Items) displayed in the app with voice control. Now, I can no longer use/select the directional arrows or the center select button. They do not have a number or name associated with them. Also, the name “fast-forward” is not only associated with the fast-forward button, but it’s also associated with the play-Pause button. Other buttons do not have names associated with them (Sleep button and one other button). Somebody didn't test this properly before releasing it. I hope they fix this because it's useless for me now.

New design no good

They redesigned the app. You made it more complicated then it has to be. The old basic design was perfect all the controls on one screen. Now I have to click on the media tab to adjust volume and etc..

Great app

Works great on multiple devices

New update garbage

Problem with connections and no longer turns off tv, bring back the dimple previous app

Update

For a billion dollar company you made the worst update in freaking history.

Update on the remote

I hate the fact that it updated my mobile remote. I like my old one. Other than that; I’ve been loving my Firestick for years

Remote new sucks

I don’t like the new remote

This app is trash!

I will be using the app for 5-10 minutes and then it will randomly get to where the buttons don’t work. I constantly have to close and reopen the app to get it to work again. Other times it’s like it’s holding down the right button. It has a mind of its own. The only reason I own this trash is because it’s the only option I’ve got.

Updates are atrocious

Every time this app has an update it ends up constantly disconnecting and this most recent update is no exception. What do your employees get paid for if not to make the app work? It’s the worst experience I’ve ever had with an app

Happy

Best fire tv app

New update 8/22/26

The new update has completely taken away the ability to turn off the tv with a remote on my phone, via the app. Before this update I was allowed to do it and now I have to wait for the tv to do it by itself. Before the update it was great but this is so annoying now.

You’re kidding

Lost all my customized apps so they can promote Pluto and tubi

Don’t waste your money

Inferior update

The newest update completely changed the layout is trying way too hard to look better, but functionally is inferior to the previous. Also the power button no longer works with the new update. The previous lay out mimicked the actual fireTv remote and was much easier to browse through the app.

Terrible

Terrible

Still a great app

Just wish it loads faster and connected with my TV already

sound?

it won’t even let me go to the sound button to turn my TV up. anyone else having this problem?

OFF BUTTON DOES NOT WORK

Booooo
