Ratings and reviews

Works great! I think the bad reviews are user error or maybe bad wifi connection. I'm not sure but the app has worked fine for me. Stays connected almost all day. It maybe disconnects if I haven't watched tv for several hours. But it connects back easy. A message pops up that says tap to reconnect. Just make sure your phone is on the same wifi as the Fire TV you are using or it won't find the connection. The buttons are smooth and don't have any delay.

Always have trouble connecting and/or staying connected, and no volume control. My brother has Roku and the app gives full control like the hand remote. This is difficult to use because it is not always online to use. Great that content of my app is in English, thank you. I live in America and English is the preferred language to speak. I would not say the app has a positive impact on my life because having the app is not very serious or important to me, but it is better than having no remote.

I have to use this if I lose my remote or forget to pack when traveling. I don't like it bc it won't stay connected. If it disconnects when you press an action it will act like you are holding down the button. By the time it reconnects you have watched way too many YouTube commercials. Even the keypad is suspect at some times pending the app used.
