Then pop-ups ads that you must watch and find the tiny edit button. Seems inefficient and incredibly greedy! ### 3/5 — Kinda good *2026-08-22, version 1.13* Its lowkey pretty good bc all I use this for is just to turn up and down the volume but still good ### 3/5 — Connection issues *2026-08-14, version 1.13* Worked for a little bit and then completely bugs out, looked for updates and there were none. Always saying no connection when everything was connected and have had to re-download several times for the exact same thing to happen. When it did work, it worked well. Shame that it’s not consistent. ### 2/5 — Works but Ads *2026-08-10, version 1.13* Works great but it has ads.. Ads On a remote control app. Why ### 3/5 — Annoying *2026-08-10, version 1.13* If u have multiple fire TVs then sometimes it won't show the other one and it gets annoying ### 3/5 — Wouldn't Recommend *2026-08-06, version 1.13* Confusing identity, unreliable performance, and too many locked features. I wouldn't download it again. ### 3/5 — Free? Not Really *2026-08-03, version 1.13* It advertises useful features, but most require payment. I expected a free remote app. ### 2/5 — Annoying frequent adds *2026-08-03, version 1.13* It works well as a remote, I use it because I lost my remote a few days ago, big downside is that there’s ads and they’re kinda frequent along with the fact that you can only use the voice search feature a few times before it’s restricted behind a paywall, overall use it temporary fix not as a permanent solution ### 3/5 — Expected Amazon's Remote *2026-08-02, version 1.13* I downloaded this expecting the official Fire TV remote. The branding and search placement were confusing. ### 5/5 — It works *2026-08-02, version 1.13* Easy to set up ### 3/5 — Doesn't Work Reliably *2026-08-01, version 1.13* Connection failed repeatedly, and the remote often stopped responding. Very frustrating experience. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Won’t work *2026-08-29, version 1.13* Not good ### 1/5 — Horrible you have to pay for the keyboard and you have to pay weekly for the voice feature alreadytv *2026-08-29, version 1.13* Horrible you have to pay for the keyboard and you have to pay weekly for the voice feature already on the tv why and it is monthly if I wanted to waste money Then I would reinstall ### 1/5 — Not good *2026-08-29, version 1.13* It was working fine then it just started making my tv not show up anymore. Probably want me to pay for the sub but I’m not just lame & goofy ### 1/5 — Relentless Advertising *2026-08-27, version 1.13* I lost my remote a while ago and got this app as a temporary replacement. Every I open the app it asks me to buy premium. Every time I connect to my TV it asks me to buy premium. Every time I press buttons a certain amount of times the app gives me two ads then ASKS ME TO BUY PREMIUM. The second I get my new remote I am deleting this app, because my physical remote doesn't ask me to pay it weekly to use a "better version" of it. Its a remote. 1 star. ### 1/5 — Junk! *2026-08-22, version 1.13* I tried this several times and even after making sure phone and fire stick are on the same internet it does not prompt for any code connections and stops searching after 3 seconds and never finds the Firestick 1 foot in front of it! ### 1/5 — Trash *2026-08-13, version 1.13* Apparently the code is invalid when clearly they are the same numbers ### 1/5 — Trash *2026-08-13, version 1.13* Worst app i ever downloaded. you are forced to pay weekly or watch a 2 minute commercial about a game every 5 clicks. Throw away the app and its creator. Nothing but a money grab ### 1/5 — There’s better alternatives. *2026-08-13, version 1.13* The ads are absolutely unbearable and make it nearly impossible to use for more than half a minute. The connection is buggy and horrible. Seek a better app if you can. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-08-04, version 1.13* It’s not working I deleted and reinstalled I turned tv off and back on googled it and nothing does anything. It wants me to enter the IP address but says I need a remote to do that. I don’t have a remote ### 1/5 — So many ads *2026-07-29, version 1.13* Ads all the time , ridiculous to use as main remote Better to buy the $45 replacement then waste time with this ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Re *2026-08-29, version 1.13* Really convincing ### 5/5 — Now you don’t have to look for your control *2026-08-24, version 1.13* 1010 ### 5/5 — I have used this for a good 10min with no ads *2026-08-20, version 1.13* Really good ### 5/5 — Pretty good *2026-08-20, version 1.13* Easy accessible, full controls really good quality. ### 5/5 — 10 *2026-08-19, version 1.13* 10.10 ### 5/5 — FireStickRemote *2026-08-18, version 1.13* Tennbhdhejwwjjww ### 5/5 — Remote *2026-08-18, version 1.13* I works very good ### 5/5 — Liked *2026-08-14, version 1.13* Liked fast and easy liked ### 5/5 — Good *2026-08-08, version 1.13* Need volume that's all ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-04, version 1.13* Works amazing !!! 5stars --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
