My review
Sexy
Will. Not. Connect.
I’m not sure what the point of a remote is if you have to physically interact with your TV every time you use it. This app will not - will NOT - connect to my Fire TV unless / until I go over and hold down the power button on the TV for 15 seconds to restart it. Both phone & TV are always on the same 5GHz network, no VPN, no proxy, dedicated local IP address for both, and I power cycle the TV on / off for at least 60 seconds every day (which is what I had to do several app updates ago if I ever hoped to reconnect it to the TV). Now not even that works, and I have to physically reboot the TV in order for it to be seen in the app.
To be clear, the app SEES the TV, it just will not connect. During the TV reboot, the TV that it sees and won’t connect to disappears, then shows up again once the TV reboots, as unable to connect, then (and only then) rebooting the remote app finally connects it to the TV.
This is all before getting to the (dys)functionality of the app itself. Why on earth do you have to scroll left and right to access the most commonly-used buttons, while 60% of the screen real estate is occupied by a giant 5-button navigating array + empty space? And now the latest “feature” since the latest few updates: scrolling left to right in order to access the commonest buttons, automatically instantiates the Home button. Yay! The only way to avoid this is to carefully touch a few choice pixels in the bottom corner of the side you’re trying to scroll toward, just enough that you can barely manage to side scroll.
This app is one bizarre custom-built afterthought after another. Much like every other piece of Alexa / Amazon software. 🤦♂️ This is on modern hardware, while doing every bit of updating, network administration, rain dancing voodoo magic (which an end user shouldn’t actually have to do if you made AND TESTED reliable, functional software in the first place), so yes, Amazon: it’s not me, it’s you. You’ve earned every negative thing that can be said about you through sheer neglect, ignorance and incompetence. 🎯

Great so far

Works great
My dog chewed up our remote but thankfully we can still watch tv. Only wish there tv was compatible with the controls so I don’t have to get up to change volume
Good quality viewing although a little glitchy
Once working, the fire to is high quality viewing with excellent picks for watching and gaming. However, at times, it can be difficult to connect the controllers to the tv. The tv also does work if you have no WiFi.
Practical
Very useful. You will never use your remote again!
No power button control
App is great except I can’t shut the TV off
👍🏿
Love it
Remote control
I really like Amazon Fire TV; however, the remote controls have an extremely short lifespan requiring one to replace frequently. The remote APP was a great idea. I use my cellphone as a remote control; however, it’s a challenge when trying to play a video game (Poker), when the an incoming calls come in.
