Dann drückst du eine Taste und, Werbung!! Und wenn du versucht nochmal eine Taste zu Drücken obwohl du es mit deinem Fire TV verbunden hast geht das auch nicht!!! Totaler Schrott diese App!!!!😡🤬😱🤬😡🤯 ### 1/5 — No use if you lost your remote *2022-06-28, version 1.4* This app requires you to have a remote before it will work. So don’t waste your time downloading it if you lost/broke your remote. ### 1/5 — Poo *2022-04-26, version 1.4* Trash :( ### 1/5 — Worst app ever!! *2022-01-18, version 1.3.1* So stupid how you have to pay to use a CONTROLLER without ads this is stupid and shouldn’t be suggested to nobody ### 1/5 — Want connect *2022-01-16, version 1.3.1* Will not connect why not ### 1/5 — Could not find the Fire TV, could not find support *2021-11-21, version 1.2* Our closest neighbour is 2 miles away so when the app suggested a kitchen device when we don’t have one and is unable to find the firestick I find that concerning. Tried the manual setting but could not find the fire IP address. Tried the Support link didn’t take me to support for the app. Going to uninstall app now. ### 1/5 — Useless *2021-07-06* Totally useless app ### 1/5 — Vorsicht vor dieser App *2021-03-22* Nachdem ich diese App gestartet habe, konnte ich sie nicht mehr schließen. Während ich einiges probiert habe wurde die Feuerwehr angerufen und ich hatte keine Chance dies zu unterbinden da die App ständig im Vordergrund war. Schluss endlich half nur ein Neustart über die Tastenkombination und ich habe die App sofort gelöscht. ### 1/5 — Worthless *2021-03-18, version 1.2* This doesn't work at all. I try to link the remote up with my fire stick and it just keeps trying to get me to download a universal remote which I don't need. ### 1/5 — Does not work. *2021-02-01* On latest, fully updated Firestick 4k. Cannot find device. Manual IP imput no help. Other apps, including Amazon Fire Remote work fine. Using iOS 14.4. ### 1/5 — No point to this *2021-01-30, version 1.2* My original remote is broken and you need the original remote to start using this app. ### 1/5 — Avoid *2021-01-18, version 1.2* Doesn’t work at all , total scam, in process of getting my purchase back ### 1/5 — it not reliable *2020-12-20, version 1.2* out of nowhere it stopped working then when tried to find a new app to use it kept going back to this one and even after deleting and reinstalling it still doesn’t work. it’s not very reliable it just stopped working out of nowhere ### 1/5 — Totally worthless *2020-12-05, version 1.2* It shows the remote view for half a second then jumps to a page you can’t move off of. Nothing works. ### 1/5 — Ridiculous! *2020-11-25, version 1.2* Isn’t there anything that just works? The ad says it works directly. So I download it, and then it asks for the original remote. If I still had the original remote, I wouldn’t need this app. Unbelievable! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Basic iPad feature not included *2026-07-19, version 2.1* The simplest most important feature on an app is that it can rotate to the correct orientation on iPads. You can only view vertical , it is not developed to work horizontally like most other apps. Once again this is an Impossible feature for developers. ### 1/5 — Useless without remote *2025-05-05, version 1.7* No point downloading this app as it does not work without original remote. ### 1/5 — 😒 *2024-08-18, version 1.6* Need remote to activate this app ### 1/5 — Crappy app *2024-08-09, version 1.6* This app is so crappy because it keeps playing ad every time I click it so I lose at the game I’m playing with my friend and it’s a two player fire remote on the fire TV game ### 1/5 — Volume *2024-02-13, version 1.6* I just wanted the volume and it didn’t have that ### 1/5 — Defeats the point *2024-02-04, version 1.6* If I had the original remote to do all the things they need me to do to set up then I wouldn't need the app ### 1/5 — Lässt sich nicht umsetzen *2023-11-25* Schon der zweite Schritt funktioniert nicht, weil keine Entwickler-Optionen angezeigt werden. ### 1/5 — You need the original remote *2023-09-10, version 1.5* I lost the remote. ### 1/5 — Not magic *2023-06-22, version 1.5* The magic remote is chaos. The pointer is wild n hard to land n stay. Pointer moves while clicking. Very difficult to get guides. Difficult to learn. We exchanged tvs to get a no-magic remote. ### 1/5 — Junk *2023-02-05, version 1.5* Doesn’t work ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Non Working *2026-07-09, version 2.1* Never work I need to stop the service. This app never works ever. ### 5/5 — Question *2020-08-16, version 1.2* How do I adjust the volume? Like the remote but have no volume control! ### 5/5 — Jpanks *2020-02-01, version 1.0* Great info ### 5/5 — Remote review *2020-01-02, version 1.0* Would be nice if it would toggle and type . But it’ll make due if you lose original firestick remote ### 5/5 — Finally an app that works *2019-12-16, version 1.0* Paid the 1.99 to remove the adds because this app it’s worth it. Works excellent. I’ve used 3 other apps and they want a monthly fee, that’s insane. ### 4/5 — Okay, a bit delayed. *2020-01-22, version 1.0* I only got this after a couple minutes but first impressions are key and I tried it out and the tv responding was delayed. ### 4/5 — Works fine. Missing microphone button. *2019-12-17, version 1.0* Works fine with my Fire TV. Pays for itself in fewer battery purchases as the remote is a battery hog. ### 4/5 — Works Easily. Trabaja Fácilmente. It’s Free. Es Gratis. *2019-08-19* It would be nicer to be able to key the words from the phone, that’s what I was looking for, but if you loose the original remote, this is the virtual one that will do the job! ### 3/5 — Fire stick *2021-08-06, version 1.2* It’s good but it just got too many ads ### 3/5 — Continuous Ad pop ups *2020-11-14, version 1.2* I understand as a free app you need ads for your app to stay up. But why whenever I use the remote, a video ad pops up all the time, not allowing me to get to my destination in a timely matter like using a regular remote. But what’s really funny is when the application is open, and I’m not using the remote, no video ads play. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
