Need actual remote to use app – Amazon Fire TV Review

Left the actual remote at home when traveling with the Fire TV stick, but thought I'd be okay using the app. Nope. Both the app and the Fire TV need to be on the same wifi to connect... but you can't connect the stick to the wifi without the actual remote. So the app is useless without the remote first being used to set up the stick wifi connection. Learned a new lesson. Disappointed for sure.
