Pros and cons of Remote for Fire TV app for iPhone and iPad

Remote for Fire TV app good for

Works great on both my Fire TV boxes. I like that I can use as the regular remote, mouse, or keyboard. The keyboard is great for those searches you type in and the mouse works great on programs that require a mouse.
awesome app, works great with fire tv, the support team very quick in responses. Only suggestion for an improvement, this app would be better with click button on mouse screen, as the tap doesnt always respond when dealing with touch screen based apps on Amazon Fire tv.
First off let me just say that seller is amazing. The app stopped working a couple of days ago so i emailed them and i got an answer within 5 to 10 minutes of each email i sent and there were multiple lol. They informed me amazon would be updating app within a few days and they were right. The new updated version released yesterday by amazon fixed the problem of not being able to click on anything. I wish customer service for everything was this easy and helpful.
So I purchased this app maybe about 4 months ago when I first got my fire tv! I use this app to navigate through another app that doesnt allow for the fire tv remote to navigate. I started having issues with the remote this morning so I sent an email to the support person! We all know that when you send an email it usually takes hours for someone to respond! Needless to say I got a response in less than 5 minutes and the troubleshooting that was provided had the issue fixed in less than 10! This by far was one of the best experiences I have had with a purchased app! Thank you so much for the support, it really means a lot!!!!
Update: I contacted the developer and they responded right away. With the latest Amazon Fire TV update something was changed and you must update the remote mouse app that is on the actual Fire TV. If you need help contact the developer and they will help you. Great app! Works well to control the Xfinity Go TV app (side loaded). Without it there is no way to use it. Worked beautifully, but with the latest fire tv software update it is broken. Hopefully the developer will fix. Will update once it is working again.
Update! Needed tune up, developers response time is super quick. Nice work. Works great! Need this to run sideloaded apps that cant be controlled w the fire tv remote. Like actual Spotify, for example--which now works great on fire tv w this remote. Its a workaround, people. Might have a learning curve and require a phone or fire tv reboot... If this doesnt seem like par for the course then you probably shouldnt install this.

Some bad moments

Too much work, I wont even bother. I just bought this because I thought I wouldnt need to get up and pick my remote. I was wrong.
This app is ridiculous! After purchasing it on the App Store for US$0,99, you have to pay US$1,99 to buy it on the Fire TV, or it wont be useful…
The App is not doing what ist should. Although Connection is established according Test.
The mouse should slide smoothly but it doesnt and the keyboard works very slow!
Has become extremely glitchy after latest update. Troubleshoot tells me fail at ADB debug, but it is on.
u have to pay $2.99 for same app on fire tv they dont mention it.... want my .99 cents back.
