Great app! My fire tv remote stopped working. I replaced the batteries and still nothing. I saw this app and thought I'd give it a try. It has worked beautifully. I've been using it about 6 months and have no intentions of buying a remote. It has been buggy in the past, but not enough to take away a star. Update: the app is still buggy butt not nearly as much as it was when i submitted my last review. Overall, I still believe this is a great app

Awesome!!!
Ok so know that this isn’t a perfect 5 star rating because NOTHING is perfect. Take that into account and this app update is awesome. The old swipe feature had its place but this looks more like a real remote and that’s what we’re all used to. The app is easy to pair and comes in very handy because the remotes that come with the Fire Sticks are crap. We have 3 Fire Sticks in the house (2 HD and 1 4K) and only one remote still works. It’s the remote for the 4K Fire Stick and we decided to re-pair it with the bedroom tv. The “d-pad” on the app needs to be smaller, it should be at the bottom of the screen for people with smaller hands like my wife and there needs to be more options that would be on a basic remote (like a sleep button or volume control) but overall this update to the remote app is a HUGE step in the right direction. Adding the remote listening feature, which is available for the Roku remote app (we have two Rokus as well), would be awesome too. -
The app disconnects from the fire tv stick the moment we switch to a different app or the phone gets locked ie, it doesn't run in background. And keeps reconnecting when we return to the app. It does reconnect once or twice, after that we have re-launch the app again. Could you please make it stay connected as long as both the devices (phone & fire TV stick) are connected to the same network.

Easy fix
I usually don’t do reviews but here it goes... this app has always worked great for me especially since I have lost the physical remote. But recently for about a week or so when I attempted to watch anything the app would not let go up,down,left or right I could however click on the setting button and it would immediately take me to settings but again I could not go up,down,left or right and when I clicked the home button it immediately went to the home button but I still couldn’t move around. I came on here in the reviews to see if anyone was having this issue I had attempted to unplug and re-plug the fire stick and I was still have the same issue. Today I decided to contact support through the app and selected call me, so I immediately got a call waited less than 1 minute and they actually helped me. She was able to take control of my screen and see what I was talking about she had me troubleshoot by reinstalling this app on my phone than unplugging the fire stick from my tv wait 2-3 minutes than plug it back in and to my surprise it WORKED i guess waiting before replugging helped because I had unplugged the fire stick before but not that long just like a couple seconds so yeah hope someone can find this helpful. -
It’s very good, but needs improvement
This app was very useful when I lost my fire stick remote (idk how I lost it but I suspect it’s in my room), my mom mentioned it to me, and I reinstalled it. (my mom must’ve had the app previously) It took me by surprise of how good it was! I functioned just like my fire stick! (My fire stick was awesome btw ;-;) But there is two things that irritates me. And one of them is when my phone turns off automatically, it would have a little “Reconnecting” thing. This didn’t bug me much, until now. Now, if you leave the app open for a long time, the “Reconnecting” thing will be a bit long. (Not too long, but enough to annoy me) And, there is the last thing I need to complain about lol. If you leave the app for a long time, the thing I just said above is if your fast enough to come back. If you leave it for a long enough time, when you come back to the app, it shows how to connect to your fire stick TV. Now, this happens a lot, and it’s really stupid cause it takes so many taps just to be lucky and actually connect to it. Let me get straight to the point. Sometimes if I try to connect to it, (which means tap on what my TV is called) it doesn’t work. It’s like a frozen screen, but it’s not. And if I hit the wrong thing, which happens often, It would send me to “Add Devices”. Please fix this, it would be better for me.

This Is Terrible
The main problem for me is the fact that my phone will connect to the tv, ok? Good so far then I go to watch my show and can’t fall asleep... I then go to open the app back up to see that my tv isn’t popping up so I can’t connect to it. Very frustrating BUT THERES MORE! I go to restart the app by swiping up then turning WiFi of and on and reconnecting to WiFi then I go back to the app and it still won’t connect so I hard reset my phone to go back into it then, THEN it’ll keep continuously keep doing this and that’s why I spend hours trying to find my remote rather than using this app. And then I’ll end up watching some sort of like 10 hour documentary that I can’t stop watching because THE PHONE REMOTE DOESNT WORK and the only way I have found to get it to work is deleting it then re downloading it and signing back in and all just for it to happen again and I hope you don’t download this app it’s a waste of time and you should find a different app even in the time it took to write this it still doesn’t work -
I'm constantly losing my remote because of my 2 year old and the fact it's a tiny black remote doesn't help. There has been lots of frustration about this lost remote issue. But one day I discovered this app. I can control my tv with my phone, my husbands phone or the real romote! There is more peace in our house thanks to this app :)

Remote does to frequently
The app itself gets 4 stars. But the TV/TV Remote definitely a 1 star. App is great to fall back on when tv/tv remote not acting right. Glad we do have an app to assist. Thought the idea of this smart tv Element with Alexa was an good idea, so I bought the tv on clearance pretty much half price. I really realize you get for what you pay for. To keep up with the modernization of what is going on, they just push items out way too fast. Usually I look at reviews before I purchase something but this was on a whim. I feel like I’m changing batteries in this remote once a month, why is the question? I feel like I have an defective tv and remote. I have only had this tv for 4 months within the first month I had to have the remote replaced, so I’m on my second remote. I just give up with this tv -
For entering information the app is great! I lose the remote or get it mixed up with other firestick remotes so the naming of each Firestick comes in handy! I give it 4 stars because I believe the combination of the app with the Firestick causes crashes between the two. If the remote app becomes unresponsive in anyway just disconnect the power to the Firestick for approx 10secs and reestablish the app/stick link. BTW the app I use most is Disney+ but I Prime Video had some issues too! Enjoy!

hey other people, wassup?
I don’t really know why my little fire stick remote broke but it did. I did not mishandle it. I keep it full of fresh batteries and still it doesn’t not want to do anything. This app works pretty good, I wish I could say that this is a sign that we are living in good times, but of course, you know, we are not. But if your little remote breaks you should download this and you will be just fine. Please if this same fate befalls you do not bemoan all the injustices that went into reducing the quality of your television viewing experience. Sitting down and looking at a screen for many hours as a main source of entertainment is already a pathetic joke.

It does it's job when it wants to. Sometimes have to unplug my amazon tv in order for it to connect again. Unfortunately, it doesn't stay running in the background when switching apps. So it needs to reconnect when going back to it. And that's only when it wants to. This is the only thing that will work since I've been through 3 amazon remotes in two years and so many batteries ($$$).

Feb 18/2021 Update: I have noticed that the connectivity issue is working almost perfectly now. Thank you! I will upgrade my overall rating in a few days if nothing changes. Recommend! I don't know what has changed, but the past few weeks I've been having a heck of a time connecting with my Fire TV. I used to love this app, but now it rarely works. You need to fix this, because whatever update you recently had, has only made this app completely useless.

As a Firecast user I'm glad I can watch tv but channel navigation is weak. You do not see channel numbers making it a mess if you have the same network on 2 markets. Also seems this app should support some type of guide even if limited by screen size. And especially important to be able to set recordings for future tv shows like I could on a 2004 tivo.

I've had my firestick for 2 years and the remote hasn't worked for about 18 months so downloaded this app. It worked fine to begin with but now it won't connect at all. I've had to start uninstalling and installing maybe 2 or 3 times before finding the stick. It's flippin annoying, please do something to fix this
