Works with Fire TV Stick, Stick 4K, Fire TV Cube and TVs with Fire TV built in — and with Roku, Samsung, LG and Android TV as well. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Full D-pad — navigate menus exactly like the physical remote • Trackpad — swipe to move, tap to select, faster through long lists • Volume, playback and power — play, pause, rewind, mute, sleep • Voice search — say what you want, we type it on the TV for you • App launcher — see what's installed and jump straight into it • Cast photos and videos — send anything from your camera roll to the big screen • Documents — show a PDF on the TV, one page at a time • Screen Mirroring — put your whole phone screen on the TV in real time • IPTV — add your own M3U playlists and play them on the big screen SETUP 1. Put your iPhone and your TV device on the same Wi-Fi network. 2. Open the app — nearby devices appear by themselves. 3. Tap yours and confirm the code shown on the screen. No Amazon account, no cables, no extra hardware. GOOD TO KNOW Fire Remote requires a subscription. Casting photos, videos and documents works on Fire TV, Roku, Samsung and LG. Android TV supports the remote, playback, volume and app launch, but cannot receive files from a phone. Screen Mirroring needs a TV with a web browser.
