Ratings and reviews

Update: The app is back working properly. I'm adding the additional two stars. This app is great! It's nice to have access to my Fire TV, especially when my wife Bogarts the remote control. Also, typing in search criteria is much easier with the app than the remote, unless you prefer using voice commands. You can even do that with the app.

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.

I hate dealing with this. I liked when I could use a universal remote with my fire tv. But they did something and I couldn't use a universal remote. I even bought a replacement fire tv remote, but that wouldn't work. I downloaded the app and I could use my tv. After a little while, it started taking a few minutes to connect. Every freaking time! It often disconnects while I'm watching tv. It's aggravating! I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app like the support guy said, but it's the same
