It kind of does what it claims, it's fine in a pinch. But the frequent lag and random constant disconnections can make using this app extremely frustrating. It's not uncommon to fast forward or rewind too far because you can't stop it due to lag or a disconnect, or accidentally back all the way out of an app because you think you missed hitting the back button when really there was like 5 seconds of lag. Again, fine in a pinch if your remote dies or something, but not really a permanent solution

When my remotes go offline, every now and again, my phone app has never failed me and I can simply unpair my remote controller and pair it back up and it works perfectly. It doesn't happen often, but this has never failed me!! It takes 2 minutes or less and everyone is happy. It is also the perfect solution when the remote is hiding. This app is on my phone and tablet. My son has done the same. LOVE IT!!

update: 5 years later and it still sucks. Works properly 10% of the time. Disconnects constantly. Especially irritating when fastforwarding or rewinding and you cant stop it until you reconnect again...every time. It is not my internet provider, and all of my other apps and devices have no issues. Not a great app. Currently it is no longer recognizingg my fire stick, and I have re-signed in and rebooted both several times.
