Excessive and intrusive ads. I might have considered the paid version, but the ads prevented me from doing a full evaluation. Amazon now has a free Fire TV app in the Play Store, so there’s no reason to use this one. REPLY TO DEVELOPER RESPONSE: You apparently didn’t read my comments. Due to the excessive […]

Will not connect to my Toshiba Fire TV. I downloaded the app, paid for it, losing the free trial. I do have my old remote, I was able to go into the settings & enabled the debugging thing, just as the instructions said to do. Also, powered off my tv&phone, hoping they would update & […]
You’d think this would just work with an Amazon Fire TV but it can’t even find the TV. This app is a piece of (presumably) Chinese malware that steals both your personal and credit card info so they can charge you a subscription fee for an app you shouldn’t even need. The TV should be […]
This is absolutely ridiculous. I just misplaced our actual remote and thought I could download the app that was just a basic remote for the firestick. NOPE. Now, there are ADS, because, you can no longer make a product without trying to make an extra buck. I downloaded the app, and within 2 seconds of […]
Terrible. I was trying to “explore” the app without all the ads during my free trial and apparently hit the worst button possible because now there’s a dumb box taking up the bottom half of my tv screen that refuses to go away. I’ve restarted my firestick, uninstalled and reinstalled the app, unplugged everything at […]
Trust me on this: just get a Roku. The app is pretty much unusable and riddled with ads. The channel selection is clunky, unintuitive, confusing to navigate, and filled with ads. It takes almost ten steps to open Netflix, which is deliberate because ads. Roku is MUCH faster and simpler to navigate, and also, no […]
I have never been more frustrated by an app. First of all, It plays ads every few clicks which is beyond annoying. I wanted a basic remote app and I felt like I was watching commercials on my phone just to skip commercials on my TV. Horrible. Second, it lags. Terribly. Third, it sometimes connects […]
It simply did not work. I followed all of the instructions, turned adb debug on (it was already on, but I double checked), checked to make sure it was on the same network, restarted the fire stick, and never could get it to work other than for about 5 seconds and it stopped and didn’t […]
Told them it doesn’t work on any device I own. Asked for a refund. Sold TV. Google says no refund. Had the app for a month and three days. Fixed income so can’t be blowing cash to on apps that don’t work. Do your homework b4 adding subscriptions.. After response. I did all that and […]
Terrible. You get 5-10 clicks and then an ad or two. Your 5-10 clicks includes any typing for searches, so by the time you hit search and start typing, there’s another ad. Then you want me to pay a subscription to get rid of the ads and have full “functionality”. I get that every click […]
This app is so infuriating. I can raise or lower my volume 5 increments and then I have to watch a video ad to continue. Basically every single button press comes with an ad. I’d rather just go buy several remotes for when I lose one instead of deal with the excessive and annoying ads. […]
MIGHT BE A SCAM?? They offered a 3 day free trial, so I figured it was a good choice, so I knew I could connect before paying. App could not find device. I then followed all prompts and advice, turning my app and TV and firestick on and off and on and off. NOTHING. Go […]
Pretty good app. Connected fast. You have to pay to use certain features though, like the keyboard, which is annoying because I like using the remote online, so I can type stuff easily on the TV. Also don’t like how there’s an ad everytime you click a button. It’s frustrating when there’s people sleeping, and […]
Literally the worst app I have ever downloaded. I’ve played .io games that have less ads than this. You literally click the remote to use it 5 times, ad. 5 more clicks, ad. Close the app and reopen it, you guessed it, ad. I’ve seen the trash responses by the developer saying they need ad […]
This might be the least functional app I’ve ever used. The interface isn’t designed terribly, but it is executed horribly. Good luck getting this app to stay connected at all, or even having the remote buttons actually do anything on your TV (even when it’s “connected”) The troubleshooting steps are pretty useless. Don’t spend money […]
Just go and buy a new tv brand if you ever have to. Roku is a better tv brand since this is one of the most GREEDY companies ever. An add every few clicks? I once clicked the right button 4 times and got a 15-second addπ.. You guys say you need money from add […]
This app is RIDDLED with ads if you use the free version. And not just banner ads, but full popups that will block the use of the remote while you’re using it. The paid version is a $24.99/year subscription. It’d maybe be worth it if it was a one-time payment of $1.99, but as it […]
awful app, every 5 clicks there’s an ad, gl if you want to use the search bar. I’ve seen it said already but just because you have a team doesn’t mean you can put this out as unusable as it is. maybe use pop-up ads instead of take over your screen videos. I’m lucky I’m […]
I’d give 0 stars if I could. 6 dollars a week or pay for a lifetime of ad free for the exact price as a new remote. I can’t do anything without 3 ads popping up. an insanely terrible ap. if you’re pressed for a new remote, get an offbrand one off of amazon because […]
Gabage. This app is garbage. You click on the remote several times and an add pops on the screen, you cannot do anything until the add ends. It s not just a pop up, it is a full blown add covering your screen. Unless u get a paid version. Just buy a new remote for […]
