Extremely buggy

Always disconnects or it cant find the firestick, its always something

Great Idea. Bad Execution (Connection issues galore)

Jonathan T. Risoldi

This a great idea! And when it works it can be a life saver when the remote is nowhere to be found. However often it doesn’t work. On most uses I have to restart the app completely closing It out for it to actually connect to my firetv. I once even had to do a fresh install. The issue is that it doesn’t reconnect in a appropriate manner of time or at all even when singed in through your Amazon account. Now disconnecting when the app is closed or the screen turns off is perfectly fine and should be done to save data and network bandwidth, however when the devices just won’t reconnect, it makes it basically useless. On the other side when it does manage to reconnect it messes with tv. For example on occasion if I let it sleep while I’m reading something or looking at something like on prime video or Netflix and it disconnects it automatically pushes me back to the top of the app. And that’s just one of the issues I have with it. Another is that some times if I use it to go to a show and then I use my regular Alex echo to do something or go somewhere it will at times just automatically play whatever I was watching last. Even if I go to play something else or exit out and go home. It just will relaunch what I was previously watching last time I used the app (I never had that issue till after I used this app). I don’t say any of this as a slight at the developers because it truly is an awesome idea and great when it works like it is supposed to. But bugs that aren’t talked about are bugs that don’t get fixed.

Volume button please!

Hi! The app works great and especially when the physical remote is not working this is my savior. But can you add the volume control?

Very buggy

App is very buggy and is constantly trying to “reconnect” to my tv when I open it

Awesome

Very useful app I’d get the button panel version if asked the sliding panel can get tricky but you can still get the hang of it

Erratic not intuitive

Use once have to reconnect after the remote has not been used for 5min

Don’t waste time on reviews and feedbacks

RobertValenzuela

Your reviews and feedbacks are swiftly being erased left and right and it’s a waste of your precious time. Check it out by returning a day later. All gone. A few slip through as to not raise suspicion. Rigged system. Welcome to the world of censorship.

Crash Prone

ViceGod007

The app continually crashes and has to reconnect. Sometimes locks up and i have to close it and reopen to get it to work. Its a total PITA

Good fix

Great if you can’t find your real remote for the time being.

It’s Great... When it works

Have been using the app for a little over a year as our remote because our dog ate it. But every couple weeks it just decides not to connect to our fire stick. Sometimes it reconnects in minutes, sometimes hours, and other times it days that we go and can’t use it as it doesn’t connect. Nothing wrong with wifi just the app refuses to connect after restating phones, and the fire stick itself.
