This app used to work perfectly as a remote when I had lost mine for a while, despite some annoying issues with my apps loading and it being slow to connect occasionally, but I wasn’t worried about that since I mainly just cared about it being used as a remote. Now there are a ton of issues. For example, I press the right button once and it acts like a button is stuck and it just endlessly goes scrolls until it decides to stop on its own (pressing home or other buttons does not stop it). It does that with all directions. There will also often be a lag. Tons of issues with the keyboard feature. A lot of the time the app will say it’s connected and my fire stick won’t even respond to me pressing any buttons or changing the app. Then it will disconnect and/or suddenly close out the entire app. Randomly it will work perfectly fine, but this is not the common thing for me anymore. There are no issues with my wifi, no dirty phone screen, etc., and my regular remote worked just fine before it broke. This app is just bugging left and right

So we lost our remote and have to use our phones. This is the only app that I have found that actually works decently. For the most part it works pretty well. There are times when it has issues “connecting” and we (this happens on both my bf phone and mine) have to completely close out the app and get back in. This usually works and we go on our merry way. Sometimes I have to do this multiple times throughout a show or a day. It just depends. It’s normally just a bit of a nuisance, but not anything too bad. Lately though, within the past week or so, the app has been completely freezing up. The arrow button will freeze making the firestick go nuts. Even after closing the app and opening it again it will only work for a few seconds. It is very random on when this will happen and then it will go back to working again. I have just redownloaded it, in hopes that it will fix it. Fingers crossed. But I wish they would fix the bugs that make it keep disconnecting. It really is annoying. I do like this app otherwise, as I said this is the only app I have found that seems to actually work with the Firestick (that is free at least). I haven’t tried any of the paid apps. I may have to go that route if this doesn’t work. Fingers crossed!

I’m not gonna sugarcoat it, this app isn’t good. Recently my remote stopped working so I’ve been using this app and not only does it take forever to connect (if it even does) it’s clunky and has varying sensitivity. Also at least for me if it disconnects which it did frequently while you have input a command it will continue to execute that command until it’s reconnected and stopped. This brings us to my story, as I input an exit command the app disconnected and the command was executed continuously which has the same effect as holding the button, and if you didn’t know holding the exit button begins a factory reset countdown. Now this would be fine with any half decent app as you have nice window of time to cancel the reset, but this app failed to connect to my TV before the timer hit zero and my Fire Stick factory reset. This app can come in handy if it’s a last resort, but it’s clear lack of polish really shown through for being both the cause of the initiation and the reason I couldn’t cancel this unwanted reset. The only thing this app is good for is convincing people to just buy another remote.
