Then for like 4 hours it will not even say its plugged in and wont work or connect at all. Makes me wanna just buy another firestick and keep the remote away from the dog now the kidults are moved out ### 4/5 — Works good however *2025-09-14* They definitely try throwing deceiving adds making it look like you have to pay. Also kinda annoying having to scan and reconnect every time. But That’s a small price to pay for a free/convenient remote. ### 2/5 — Pubblicità *2025-03-28, version 1.1.1* Chg ### 1/5 — Werbung pur und abzocke *2025-02-22* Wollte die App ausprobieren, nach 3 Klicks kommt ne Werbung von min. 30 sek. Nochmal 3 Klicks muss man das Angebot direkt annehmen von ca. 45€ im Jahr. Ich glaub ich spinne. Danke für Nix. ### 3/5 — Glitchy but works *2025-02-19* I continuously have several connection issues. The app requires me to constantly disconnect and reconnnect to my FireStick. Too many adds but I guess it is what it is, free! It does the job. ### 1/5 — Crashing issue with prime video *2025-02-15* This app always freezes and crashes when I try to watch prime video ### 3/5 — Loading remote *2025-01-21* Only thing about the app I dislike is it takes several attempts to load the remote. After the remote loads if you don’t keep your phone open on the app you have to repeat the loading process **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback.

Seems to have to “reset” overnight. I had to download another one to turn off my TV. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2024-12-27* I have a smart tv (fire tv) and this app doesn’t work it doesn’t connect to my tv and they’re both connected to the same WiFi (my phone and my tv) I got charged $40 for the app and I can’t even use it and they won’t give me a refund 100% do not recommend this app is useless just go to the store and buy a new remote for $15 ### 2/5 — Ad *2024-12-25* I don’t mind advertisements but every time u want to pause it takes 2 min just to click through all the ads. Annoying as hell ### 1/5 — Unhappy *2024-12-25* I was charged $40 for an app that does not work and I do not use. I am trying to get a refund, but so far they do not want to refund me. Very unhappy. ### 1/5 — Fire review *2024-12-25, version 1.1.1* Won’t connect to the tv fire stick i have tried EVERYTHING :/ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time *2026-05-06* This remote is awful. So many ads, it won’t even function. Just find your remote or never watch TV again. It would be better than this ap. ### 1/5 — Ad bloat *2026-01-09* Too any damned ads - deleted within 2 minutes ### 1/5 — No sirve. *2026-01-08, version 1.1.1* No descarguen, no te permite usarlo sin pagar ### 1/5 — Not working have to reset *2025-10-19, version 1.1.1* Every 1 min ### 1/5 — to many adds *2025-07-19, version 1.1.1* horrible app. i tried using it and it wouldn’t let me it showing some kind of discount that i didn’t need/want it wont not let me use unless i got the discount horrible app ### 1/5 — Me *2025-04-12, version 1.1.1* Won’t connect ### 1/5 — Not working!!! *2025-04-09, version 1.1.1* 1hr with it and still not working ### 1/5 — Inaccettabile *2025-03-30, version 1.1.1* Il telecomando in questione è offerto in prova per tre giorni. Ritenevo che alla scadenza del suddetto periodo, mi venisse richiesto di confermare l’acquisto o meno. Viceversa mi è stato addebitato il relativo importo senza alcuna richiesta in tal senso. Trovo tale comportamento ingiustificabile e richiedo il riaccredito dell’importo, ai sensi e per gli effetti del Codice del consumo, trattandosi di acquisto in line. In ogni caso la presente vale come disdetta di eventuali abbonamenti. ### 1/5 — Drecks App voll Werbung *2025-03-10* Keine vernünftigen Optionen (auch im vorab Zugang) keine Steuerung des Fernsehers, für jeden Klick erstmal Werbung! Keine Empfehlung! Nehmt lieber das Geld und kauft euch ne neue Fernbedienung! ### 1/5 — Not connected fire tv *2025-03-08* This app not remote my fire tv. I check same wifi.
