Fire sticks remote

The only way I could do that was if you had to do a lot more remote stuff and then you would be in a position to get and I rate it 5/5

Not worth it, get fire tv app

I usually don’t leave reviews, but I just felt like it this time. this is a simple remote, but with ad’s. I can’t find my Fire TV remote, so I just searched up remote and got the first app and that was this.

but after 5 to 8 clicks on remote, you get a ad, which is annoying because you have to wait until you can continue doing what you were doing.

And that’s like 30 seconds - 1 min.

There is also the premium features one is being able to go directly to what streaming service you want to go to.

but I would say it’s a trap because you have the remote so you could manually go to it but then you’ll can ad trying to get there or you just pay for premium, to make it easier and just press which streaming service you want. Without ad’s so they’re making some type of money either way.

but I went back on the App Store. There’s a Fire TV app which is free and it has all the features even the premium ones on this one so just go to the Fire TV app and get everything on this one for free without ads. It still even has voice control like the physical remote

THIS APP IS AWESOME

Well I wanted to leave a review because i recently downloaded this app due to the baby losing my actual remote. Then I read the first review about leaving all stars because they’ll only use GOOD reviews. So hopefully mine will appear. This was a handy and great app concept, but unlike the Roku remote app every 2-3 clicks an ad will appear. Which is very tedious and frustrating. I guess this apps way of trying to get you to pay for a premium subscription. Please download at your own discretion. It’s not worth it.

Okay the only reason why I gave it all stars is because clearly the people that run the stars section or whatever are gonna only use the good reviews. Anyways this app was amazing the first five seconds but then the ads came in and I thought oh it’ll be fine but then every time I clicked on a button an ad popped up and it’s just not a good app and you can’t really do anything and the premium would actually be the best but I’m not paying like what 7 dollars for a remote app! I just would not recommend this app. ANOTHER APP DOWN THE DRAIN!!

Why pay when you get buy the actual thing for the same price

I hate this app so much, it’s so annoying with the ads that pop up every 5 f’n secs it seems and it works for 2 secs then another ad pops up. It never connects fast enough either. And why pay for it when the actual remote is the same cost? Makes no sense.

No volume No Power Awful connection

I’ve requested a refund 3 times as well as requesting they pay an additional 20$ for my time frustration and such a miserable experience. I’m sure they’ll keep it I can’t imagine there’s many long term subscribers to make money off of. I say this to say this put ur money in ur pocket get in ur car drive to the store and purchase a remote. Nothing is that bad that you should purchase this literal waste of money.

No volume

For $20 an option to adjust the volume should be available. After one or 2 miserable weeks with this awful phone remote I can say; unless you’re absolutely desperate.. WAIT! SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GO TO THE STORE.. I’d much rather have my money or a store bought remote wow what a nightmare; at times attempting to use this app remote I could just snap my phone in half. I will go buy a remote and since I wasted my money save this as a backup.

So good

It is amazing. The ads aren’t the best but I can read it five because I’m able to use it when I lose my remote and it’s so easy to use.

This app is crap.

When I downloaded it it was so slow. I pressed to connect my tv but I just transferred me to another app which I had to pay then it transferred me ANOTHER APP, it made me pay for the app then it just wouldn’t work. It wanted all my photos but I declined then the apps just wouldn’t work unless I give them my location and photos then contacts.

My family is really bad for losing our Remote so I got the idea to get this app. This is a GREAT app but the adds really get on my nerve it’s like at least 45 seconds and then a add pops up so i would probably rate the 2/5.

So thankful for this!

As someone who loses their little remote like it’s their full time job working overtime, this has been a lifesaver oh my goodness why didn’t I think to look it up sooner!!!! Might eventually pay for premium but as of right now I’m totally happy waiting for the 5 second ads every so often cause that sure beats tearing up my room every 5 minutes looking for my remote!!!!!

Do not get the subscription

It’s so expensive and it doesn’t work properly. Always having to reconnect the remote and sometimes it “can’t find” my fire stick and I have to contact someone. I use the Roku remote app and it’s FREE for my Roku tv and it works better than this dumb subscription that I paid 30 bucks for. Do not recommend.

Beyond outdated it’s infuriating

Over 3+ year old instructions to pair the app with your tv that it doesn’t relate to the current updated versions so none of the instructions help at all and have to try and find it in the 16 settings groups… ridiculously outdated holy wooooooowwww billion dollar company???? And can’t have a working remote…
