Remote for Fire TV App Reviews

FireTV, Iphone5s

Works and designed. Pretty stellar little app. Beware 99 cents here, 1.99 on amazon. worth it for me.

Scrolling??

I bought this app and the companion app for my FireTV primarily to replace my Logitech K400 keyboard and mouse which works great with the FireTV. The app installed great and works great to control my FireTV. The one big glaring disappointment is scrolling. Yes I know the instructions say to use two fingers and swipe to scroll. However this simply does not work when I am browsing the web using Firefox on the FireTV. Since the killer feature of this app is the "mouse" functionality and a basic function for any mouse or mouse analogue is scrolling, the lack of easy and smooth scrolling is a major flaw. There are any number of free remotes like this but none provide the requisite mouse function. And the fact that theres no free preview to "try before we buy" is a major burn. Im disappointed. While its not a lot of money for sure, its the principle....dont sell something that does not function as described. Im hoping that the dev can fix the scrolling soon and release an update. If so I will update this review appropriately. In the meantime back to my trusty Logitech K400.

Good and has potential

Great app with keyboard as well. The last thing I would like to see is the keyboard feedback on the app vs looking at the tv for confirmation. For example kodi search with keyboard.

Great app, mouse feature works

This app is worth the price. But dont not spend to $2 bucks on Amazon and download the apk directly from there website. This is a great choice for those that do not want to spend $20 bucks for an air mouse controller

Great app, awesome dev support

I own 2 Fire TVs, and some applications are just easier to use with a mouse. This means a dedicated mouse and remote for each TV, and about 8 batteries. With younger kids it also means a lot of searching for remotes/mice when I want to watch something. This app completely replaced my need for all of that. This developer listens to users recommendations and adds useful features on a regular basis. I cant recommend it enough of you own a Fire TV.

Wheres fire TV stick update?

Description of update says new feature with v1.04 of Fire TV stick app, yet cant locate app update on stick or on Amazon web site.

Works great once you get the hang of it

At first I had some trouble navigating with it, but once I caught on it works great and saves me the cost and inconvenience of a wireless keyboard with track pad. I would note that I did not get connectivity at first and had to turn the it on and off with in the app in the fire TV. Highly recommend for sideloaded apps.

Doesnt work

Trying to use it on my Amazon stick and it doesnt work

Works Perfect for any Sideloaded App

This is great use for an app that was sideloaded and not designed for fire tv. I use it for cleanmaster and xfinitytv. So easy to connect and use. If you cant get it to work, youre doing something wrong.

Waste of money

It doesnt work on my iPhone. I just wasted my money on this.

Dont buy

This was a waste of money, does not work on my iPhone or my wifes iPhone. My Fire TV connects with it but is unresponsive to the navigation menu.

Lifesaving App for Sideloaded Fire TV

This is an awesome piece of work. If you need a mouse and keyboard for sideloaded apps this will work. It takes some playing with to understand how it works

Awesome app

Side loaded a settings app to attach other Bluetooth devices and accidentally shut off Bluetooth, which left me with no control at all. This app allowed me to connect via wifi and turn it back on. Worth all 100 pennies - Thank you!

Additional $1.99 for FireTV app, mouse does not work.

The mouse on this app can only scroll, it does not click so the app is useless. Also, the app you need to run on your FireTV for it to work is mentioned, but not that it is an additional $1.99 plus tax.

Nice app but...

Nice user interface and works as described. I would give it 5 stars if the developer could add the capability to launch apps on the Fire TV.

Great app

Love this app. Without it I would have a hard time controlling some of my favorite apps on my fire tv stick. Have had one minor glitch, but emailed support and got help within minutes!

Dont update

Latest version broke the remote. Can no longer find my Fire TVs.

Dont update or wait for next version

Was working great... Awesome. Then i updated 1.06. Wont find my devices now. Please fix!!

Does its job very well

It works and its pretty straight forward to set up and use.

Horrible

Inaccurate movement Very hard to control a waste of my Amazon coins deleted
