Extremely useful for installing game emulators on the Fire TV; many other apps work as well, though it depends on two main factors; the app's support (or lack thereof) for controllers (alternatively, you can sometimes use a mouse to control the touch screen apps) and whether or not the app video outputs properly- some apps may appear stretched. Experiment, or just use apps that are known to work for Fire TV, like RetroArch. Another nifty feature is the ability to copy files to the Fire TV.

I've used this in the past, but it was very "hit and miss". You have to keep trying. Then yesterday I spent a few hours trying to transfer an app, & no matter what I did, it refused to recognize my fire tv. (Yes, I did everything suggested). Finally, I gave up using this app & simply went to "Downloader" on my fire tv & used their browser to get the APK file for the app I wanted. It downloaded & installed without a problem. I think this app is great when it works, except it often doesn't.

This didn't work the first few times I tried it, but after I restarted the firestick and clicked the dialog box that popped up on my TV to "always allow connection" it connected after that... I was able to send an app to my firestick and open it. Not all apps can work on firestick, btw. This won't fix that. It just sends the app you have to your stick. The ads are minimal. I had one small banner on top during setup. I really appreciate this app.
