SCAM!!! - Not Actually Amazon

DO NOT DOWNLOAD. App uses Amazon Branding, but this isn’t the official Amazon Fire TV app (which has a remote feature already). This is a scam app trying to get you locked into a $9/WEEK subscription for a remote that you can have for free if you use the official Fire TV app. I have already reported the app to Apple and recommend others do so as well.

Free for one day

It’s 9 bucks a week for a remote. At this rate it is cheaper for me to go and buy a new remote for 12 bucks.

Dumb

This app is trying to make me pay 10$ a week

Pay to play is wild

It’s a remote and you gotta pay $8.99/week aka $45/month. Lol just buy a new fire stick

Pricing is horrendous

$8.99 per week just to use my phone as a remote is RIDICULOUS. I downloaded because we moved houses and my fire stick remote no longer works for some reason, so I thought it would be smart to just download this app. Turns out it cost almost $40 a month to use which is absolutely insane. I will not be using fire stick again, time to make the switch to Roku

Where is the volume option

I put the the volume down before they did an update now post update I can’t turn the volume up on my TV because the volume option is nowhere to be found!!!

Canceling app

I am trying to cancel the app and it won’t let me

Scam app

Charging you for a free service through the actual fire tv app. This application should be removed from the store for customer manipulation

Total fail

Remote does not function none of the apps work so what exactly did I buy?

Have to pay

The app was good, but you do have to pay to use it. There are fee alternative apps

Amazon is a criminal organization hijacking app voice search to force Alexa spam

Amazon is a criminal organization hijacking app voice search to force Alexa spam I will be posting pages and gathering together the public to do class action lawsuits to sue Amazon into the ground for sabotaging everybody's fire sticks and remote applications.

This app is a scam. Do not download it. I cannot get it off my phone. They have no way of taking it off the subscription. This is a scam. I got a new card because I get this off my card and it shows up on my new card.

Unnecessary

Fire TV app comes with a remote option, without having to pay a subscription fee. This app is just a scam, i feel bad for anyone paying for this.
YOU DONT NEED IT
just download "Fire TV"
You almost fooled me too
This should be shut down.
Amazon aware of this?

Horrible app, tries to charge $36/month to use

Literally costs more than streaming services and tries to force you to sign up for a predatory free trial to use the most basic features. Scummy and disgusting app design

Biggest Scam Ever

We are DONE for that we have to pay a monthly subscription just to use a TV remote from our phone. I only downloaded this because the batteries on my remote died. But I’ll save more money by driving to the store, and buying new batteries.

Sorry, but I grew up in the 50s. When we saw TV remotes start coming into the market by the 60s, most came packaged with a TV that you payed for when buying the TV. But it was NEVER a monthly subscription.

Sorry for the ranting. I’m going to have my grandson pick up new batteries on his way over here. It’ll still be more cost effective than paying a subscription. Have a wonderful day! 😊

very good

works great set up was easy took me less than 30 seconds to set up and figure it out.

.

This app never works
and when I try to put something on, the buttons only work for a certain amount of time before I have to reconnect it again

Bait n switch

This is NOT FREE- At $8 a week you can buy a new fire stick halfway through your first month

Total Scam

You can do the same thing for free on the Amazon fire stick app

Kind of a Scam

Asking 8 dollars a WEEK is genuinely criminal. On top of that your tv has to be connected via ip. Genuinely horrible app and makes me question my sanity on how much garbage tries to sell me a subscription.
