too much ads...worst
genuinely the worst app I have ever used and it's not even close. DO NOT INSTALL THIS APP. there are ads literally every 5 seconds. completely unusable
SCAMMM I tried to cancel my subscription but it says I dont have one but still charges my account i can't figure out how to cancel cause neither app store ortho app can find it so it's forcing me to pay and itsnt sum glitch but is designed that way to take your money
Disconnects randomly, when it even connects at all. Always needs to be reinstalled for partial function of this app.
too much add
every second another ad! couldn't even pair
useless and full of scam ads. stay away.
Ads suck
too many pop ups and ads . can't even use the app . waste of time . smh its free I understand there will be ads but seriously I can't even pick anything to watch on my TV. dang
all the 5 star reviews are straight up so they are not real people also there are way too many ads to get a better app than this
my remote broke and I still won't let me use my phone
dont try to conect to a Firestick you need to pay just to use on a Firestick if o can I will gave it 0 stars
Doesn't even work. it won't recognize my firestick or connect after all the trouble shooting. Total scam
Too many commercials
After every 4 click an ad will pop up. Worst application ever.
too many ads
awful, nothing works except the adverts. scam
always have the damndest time getting it to connect!! it used to be better than the hand held remote.
too many ads
a lot of adds overall the worst experience ever
Just dont! Will PISS YOU OFF
so many of these fake remote control programs are connected to the next fake one period and the ratings are fake as well
awful
I've never seen an app more infested with ads. it's too much
ad every button u press like damn I didn't even get to go to a show bc I got a ad every button I pressed
has to many ads
rotten
Wrose app! Never works and always stuck in an ad! they say that you can just buy the ad free version however I heard that the remote still doesnt function at there high rate cost.
does not work, will not connect. have ordered new replacement..
I would rather gouge my eyes out and feed hdmi cables through the sockets into my brain to try and control my TV than ever use this app again
I hate y'all cause all them ads
you get a ad every 10 seconds
worst app ever. every 5 clicks browsing on the remote give ads. half the buttons dont work at the end of a movie. if you reconnect the app it tosses yet another ad...oh and a second ad just because. maybe remove half the ads and fix the button problem and id consider a higher rating. id rate 0 but its not available
really bad. every few presses an ad pops up. plus you need to pay for a subscription..for a remote. really?? 😭😭
fake reviews. remote works great if you can get in a selection before an ad pops up
Ads trying to get your credit card info. app doesnt work as simple as advertised.
horrible horrible horrible. every click triggers an ad. garbage
Does not work at all
terrible app ngl, only works like 25% of the time. When I need to connect it says there's no tv available even tho every single tv in my house is an Amazon fire tv, and I could have every one of them on and it still says no tv available. On top of that, it has more ads than a newspaper and it's so bad that I have to use my own private DNS server just to operate the app with any success.
Doesn't work.
tldr: do not download. I got this thinking it was the official Amazon fire remote. It is not. It immediately sent me to another app to install and when I did it changed the homepage on my phone. I do not know how this app got four stars as every review that I read never crested over 3 and most were one stars like mine.
It's In the COMMENTS...... NOT 1 GOOD REVIEW, I WONT BE WASTING MY TIME TRYING THIS APP... ITS BEEN TRIED AND TESTED.. AND THE FINAL RESULTS ARE.... THUMBS DOWN👎
rip off got it to connect after connection nothing happens it doesn't work the controls it keeps telling me it's synced but it won't work
Horrible. You have to watch 50 adds just to use the remote.
If i had one one word to desribe this app: Horrible. Lose your fire stick remote? Well have a great time using this add filled garbage of an 'app' when i say add i mean every 2 taps, add! Just a Stupid dumb app if your getting a tv get i would recommend a roku, the roku app isnt bad like this one🤏🏿🤏🏿
can't do anything , ads pop up every 2 seconds, do not download just get a replacement remote. .
0 stars needed. Unusable. Ads popping up every few seconds. Who came up with this garbage?????
Connects fast and easy. But, soon as you connect it plays a 72 sec ad. Before u get to the app and click...boom...another ad 30 sec. Every 20 sec another ad. Even worse, it's the same ad. It's an app for someone who has patience, patience and more patience. I understand that ads pay so we can use for free but at least, make it where you can get to watch something besides ads. Not for me!
Tons of ads and doesn't work. terrible.
Awful
